tell off the terms of party platforms and

This does not seem to Mrs. Gore to be
getting at the question at all. She would
like to see women study the question it
self and not the biographies of men who
are leading public thought. 1t is the
most absorbing study, and would be food
and amusement and occupation all in one
If properly and earnestly pursued. The
tariff question or any of the Industrial
problems. she thinks. offers a serious
field for women who are in earnest about
the obligations of life. But she does not
mean in the actual working out of the
problems. That seems to her to be
mans issue, and s every public man
is in need of all the good advice he can
get when such a question is under dis
cussion, all the light and inspiration
which il is possible to bestow should
