THE SOCIAL LIFE OF PITTSBURG.
Socially, Pittsburg may be likened
to a huge pie, with upper and lower
crust a-plenty, but q noticeab lie lack
Of what the good housewife realizes
is the chief feature of her culinary
triumph, the filling. The top crust
is extremely light, and therefore has
various elevations or e-xcrescences.
Sticking to the under side of this
upper crust You will find many traces
Of what was once Pittsburg's social
filing, or middle class. Their con-
nection is a bit precarious, almost
perilous, but they manage somehow
to stick, for below, through a great
SPACE, they see the under crust,
absorbing that part Of the filling
which failed to rise and cling to the
upper crust. In no other city of
America will you find che words mid
die class" regarded as a term Of con-
tumely. In no other American CITY
will you see 50 many individuals draw
ing comfortable salaries and yet re-
garding life as a hopeless sort of
game, hardly worth the playing.
Pittsburghers have reduced the art
of being pessimistic to a science -

VOTES FOR WOMEN IN DENVER.
1T was a decided mistake TO give
women the right Of the ballot" says
a woman politician Of Denver in Wom-
ans Home Companion for November.
But now that they have it, in my
belief it is as much the duty of a
woman to exercise that right as it is
for her to observe her religious duties
to take proper care of her home.
Phe average woman is better than
he average man. At least that is
ny observation. The average woman
is as bad as the average
nan politician-only she is worse!
+ the rank and file Of women would
Elm in n concerted movement to
nseat both the professional man and
he professional woman politician,

,omen would prove a boon of inesti-
value. {
