Mrs. Longworth Ambitious.

Mrs. Nicholas Longworth continues
in her opposition to women voting.
For several years she has been pc
titioned to express herself in favor of
equal suffrage, but she has the Roose-
welt spirit of sticking determinedly to
her convictions. She refuses to be
budged frcm her attitude of compla-
cent indifference. She does not openly
commit herself one way or the other,
but many times she has left no doubt
of her opinion that the world will not
gain by women voting, but may es-
cape harm by refusing them the bal
lot. Mrs. Longworth now is prepar-
ing for the social campaign in Wash
ington, d. c. She has become am
bilious to establish herself as a social
leader, and the way seems to be open
to her. In the last year she has be-
come keenly interested in her dress
maker, who previously had found her
almost careless about dress.-New
York Press.

Lady Warrender No sufrragette.

Lady Maud Warrender, popular in
British society, has resisted much
persuasion by the Suffragettes to join
their ranks. Her refusal bears out
the belief in London that all women
enjoying the friendship of Queen
Alexandra are set against equal suf-
frage. 1t has been observed that as
soon as a woman is taken in by the
Queen she begins to talk against
women entering politics. and all this
IS attributed to Alexandra's infu-
ence. The Queen never has hinted
openly at her opinion of the Suffra-
gettes, but the feeling is general that
she is opposed to them. Lady War
render says that women have enough
liberty as conditions prevail to-day,
and that in politics they would be
out of their natural sphere. Instead
of accepting oyertures to take part
in the aggressive campaign for the
ballot, Lady Warren1er busies her
self with society, golf and singing.
She has fine contralto voice, and is
heard frequently in concerts for char
ities.-New York Press.

The older man shook his head.

The Little Paper Printed Where You
Used to Live.

'Tisn't filled with cuts and pictures nor the
latest news dispatches;
And the papers often dampened and the
print is sometimes blurred.
There is only one edition, and the eye quite
often catches
Traces of missing letter, and at times
a mis.spelled word
NO cablegrams nor specials anywhere the
battle RACES,
The makeup is mayhaps a trihe crude
and primitive,
But an atmosphere Of homelife fills and
permeates the pages
Or the little country paper, printed where
you used to live.
How the heart grows soft and tender while
its columns you're perusing,
Every item is familiar, every name you
know full WE'LL
And a flood of recollection passes DER
while you're musing
On the past, and weaves about you an
imaginative spell.
You can see the old home village, once
again in fancy; seeming
To be clasping hand of neighbor, and of
friend and relative;
And their faces rise before you as your
idly fondly dreaming
Ger the little country paper printed
where you used to live.

the town refused to work, and the
farmer had to face the possibility of
losing part of his crop. He went into
a restaurant, and when waiting to be
served was struck with the idea OF
bidding for the mattresses as harvest

every waitress threw aside her apron
and went to the farm. They did such
efficient work that other farmers
sought women, and they drew school

Ballooning Advocated.

The Hon. Mrs. Assheton Harbord,
of England, maintains that balloon
ing is not only less dangerous but
also far less expensive than motor
ing. She was once caught in an cleo
trio storm while crossing the English
Channel in balloon, and on another
occasion was obliged to make a de-
scent at such speed that the members
of her ballooning party entered Hol-
land on their heads. In neither in
stance did Mrs. Harbord or any of
her party experience anything worse
than a severe shaking gup.-New York
