SUFFRAGE NOTES

Mrs. o. H. P. Belmont has announced
her intention of becoming an active
suffragist
The Central Labor union of Washing
ton, ID. c., after listening to addresses
by Mrs Rachel Foster Avery, jeanette
Bradley and Mrs. Rachel B. Ezekiel,
passed resolutions cordially indorsing
woman suffrage.
The bill to give Chicago women mu-
nicipal suffrage, which was carried in
the Chicago charter convention and
sent to the Illinois legislature, was de-
feated in the senate the other day by
a tie vote of 16 to Is.
Mrs. Sofia Loebinger and Miss Helen
Murphy of Brooklyn, N. Y, will edit
the new suffrage monthly, 1.-THE Ameri-
can Suffragette.'
Mrs. G. Rowland Shaw was elected
president of the Massachusetts, asso-
citation opposed to the further extension
of suffrage to women at it's annual
meeting which was recently held in
Boston. The vice presidents elected
were Mrs. J. Randolph Coolidge. Miss
Anna L. Dawes, Mrs. Charles Eliot
Guild, Mrs. Charles D. Romans, Miss
Agnes Irwin and Mrs. Harry w. Whit
ney.
Mrs. Haslam, who attended the re-
cent International Suffrage congress in
London, as a fraternal delegate from
ireland, pointed out that every time
a woman suffrage bill has come up
in the house of commons since the
first one introduced forty years ago by
John Stuart Mill, the majority of the
Irish members have always voted in
its favor.
The young English woman who leads
the suffrage movement at Vassar col
lege, Inez Mulholland, was the heroine
of the annual field day this month. She
broke two records in ball throwing by
nearly two feet, and in so doing made
a new American woman's champion
ship record. Miss Mulholland has been
prominent in athletics, dramatics, So
cial doings and progressive affairs at
Vassar for four years, and has also
made good record in academic work.

ENTERTAINING AT
SUMMER HOUSE PARTIES

Weekend parties are in full swing
now People who must needs spend the
hot days toiling in town are only too
glad to accept invitations at country
houses and bungalows from Saturday
till Monday
These house parties, whether they
are in small bungalows or grand coun-
try seats, may be immensely restful
and beneficial to the tired pilgrim from
the city, but they may be extremely
unrestful If conducted on the wrong
lines. Nobody is looking for strenuous
entertainment at these affairs. Dances
and dinners. late suppers and teas are
usually bore to the city-weary guest.
Tennis, golf, canoeing, bathing and
sailing, or simply doing nothing at all
are the amusements for which the Wis
itor pines. Wasn't it Jane Austen's
Fanny Price" who said ito sit in the
shade on a fine day and gaze upon
verdure is the most delightful refresh
ment"?
The ideal hostess has a gift of divina-
ton about her guests needs. She will
not ply them with attentions and urge
them to come and join the dance when
she sees that quiet time is the time
for them.
Are you going out to Mrs. Us this
Saturday. said one man to another
the other day.
think not" replied his friend
1.-The last time I went she sprung a
garden party on me in the afternoon, a
dance at the Casino with a supper fol-
lowing in the evening, and Sunday was
almost as bad. There was no rest for
the weary. l think I'd rather go down
to the beach and have q quiet swim"
Some deluded hostesses arrange
bridge parties for their guests, and the
Wearied company spends hours at the
card tables, when outside the moon
light is making the night beautiful.
Nothing should be obligatory at q
summer house party. People should
be allowed to do about as they please,
and make their own amusements. Even
talking is not summer social require
ment. When people are stretched in
easy chairs and hammocks, or resting
on the sands, the conversation is apt to
be intermittent and without much con-
tlnuity. Arguments on a hot day are
never welcome, and the arguer is very
apt to find himself engaged in deliv-
ering monologue. Rest should be the
watchword of the summer house party
rest and change from everything that
the wanderer from sun-baked streets
mas been surfeited with all winter. A
hostess should say to her guest pax
Vobiscum," and allow him to enjoy his
holiday In the way he likes best.

A New York mother got around the
sometimes embarrassing duty Of an
nounciHg the engagement of her daugh
ter by an original departure in the
form of a rhymed puzzle.
Something interesting to be divulged
While the present company were to-
gether was limited at, after which two
pretty heart-shaped booklets, covered
In red, were produced One of these
was given to the girls in the party,
the other to the men. Each contained
questions about lovers, the answers to
which 1t was explained would spell the
names of couple lately engaged. Ini-
tial letters of the answers in the girls
booklet were, of course, to form the
Christian name of the groom, those in
the mems the name of the future
bride.
The brides Christian name being
Harriet, the following puzzle was
worked out by the men. 1t will serve
as an example for any one to whom
the idea appeals for future use. Each
riddle occupied page of the book:
/. Each night the water blue and
wide
A lover swan to win his bride.
(Hero)
2. Fair daughter of a king. her clew,
Led Theseus brave, the labyrinth
through. (Ariadne)
3. A heroine from deathess plays,
On trees her lover carved her praise.
(Rosalind)
4. Years were as days, while unafraid
Her Bible lover earned this maid.
(RacheD
5. A Spanish queen of happy fate,
Wooed and won by a royal mate.
isabella of Castile)
6. A heroine of opera fame,
Who lost her prince to know his
name. (Elsa)
Z. This maiden's kiss through garden
wall,
Held her lovers heart in thrall.

An Unusual Heart Search
/ A heart seach announced as one
part of the evenings fun in one pleas
ant household, had a most unexpected
and interesting ending.
Large pink cardboard hearts having
familiar quotations written on them,
had been cut In half across, diagonally,
etc., and hidden in hooks and corners
around the room in the conventional
style The halves were matched as

show all my dimples. And once I
punched my father playfully in the
ribs and gave him a tiny wink. l
wanted him to know what little
sport l was, and that he would really
enjoy the time he spent with me. But
my father only said absently "Ah, the
child seems very well, nurse, very well,
indeed" and left me.
You see, my father is so busy making
money for me to spend when I grow
up that he hasn't any time to love me
now. I am afraid when he has made
the money and looks around for me
that 1 won't be here then. When ne
wants them there won't be any baby
fingers to cling.
Tuesday, s P. NJ.
My father passed me on the street to-
day while l was in my carriage. He
stopped and looked at me as so many
people do, but without any sign of rec
ognition on his face.
How madly I bit my rattle! Would
he know me? Would no thrill of pa
ternal pride tell him who 1 was? Sure
ly, surely he would knowl 1 am told
1 have my fathers nose. Now, as he
bent over me l wriggled it eagerly. 1t
is a cunning little way have. I heard
gle it's dear little nose! Isn't it cute?"
I have practiced it frequently since
then. So now as my fathers eyes
searched my face 1 wriggled my nose
anxiously and smiled up at him. He
smiled back and poked his finger under
my chin. Usually I resent such lib
erty from a stranger but, oh, how
happy 1t made me when my father did
it! kicked my covering off and held
up my new shoes for him to admire.
My dress is inconveniently long, but 1
have learned to manage it very grace
fully. A we'll directed kick soon dis
poses of it.
My father laughed.
"Ah! Quite a jolly little kid. Is it
yours young woman?"
"No, SIR" said the young woman, re-
specially; ait is yours, sir."-Barbara

Miss Molly" the pleasant faced
teacher of the Vernon school. was hav-
ing great difficulty teaching Jack to
read The new word was Cow" and
she had exhausted her usual devices.
At last, in reviewing the word, she
wrote it in large letters on one part of
the blackboard and in small letters at
another place. Pointing to the large
word she said: Nov, Jack, this is
cow"
Then, placing her pointer on the
small word, she asked: Jack what is
this word?"

H HE infant next door was telling me
today about the pleasant times
II she has with her father.
She says that he handles her on his
knee. losses her in the air and allows
her to pull his hair, bang his ears and
swing on his nose. She says that he
is the most useful punching bag and
muscle developer that she has been able
to discover.
How attractive this sounds! How
delightful such companionship must be!
She tells me, too, that. quite often
in the early morning, about 2 or
o'clock. she and her father take a long
walk.
She saws she always embraces this
opportunity to tell her father all her
troubles. and that he listens very pa
tiently. She complains, however, that
they have very unpleasant neighbors,
who frequently interrupt her CONVERSE
lions with her father by putting their
heads out of windows and shouting
such rude and insulting remarks as:
Cant you keep that child quiet?"
1--WE would like to get some sleep up
here" II love your wife, but oh, that
kid"
She says this always irritates her so
that she talks louder and faster than
ever, until her father begins patting
her softly on the back and telling her
nice stories in a soft, deep, soothing
voice, and then she says she snuggles
up close to him and drops off to sleep.
What a fortunate baby she is. And
what lonely little baby I am. No
body loves me. and there isn't any
body's hair I can pull My mother is
always at receptions and teas, and my
father lives in Wall street
Sometimes my father comes In to see
me- When he comes in he says:
rs the child WELL nurse?"
Then he holds out one finger politely
to me, while he gazes with worried
frown on his face over my head. l

IT tight. oh, how l cling with all the
strength I have! 1 coo and gurgle and

GEO.. COACKLEY, AT WALKER
SCHOOLINTRODUCESAGAM

Geo. Coakley, a graduate of Nc
MILAN High School. teacher OF the
Walker school in this county, has
introduced hat1ban among his pu'
pills, and the game has aroused
much enthusiasm. 1t is a game
with no element Of danger and in
which the entire school can parti
cipate.
Mr.. Coakley believes that interest
and enthusiasm on the playground Is
just as essential as in the
school room. "All work and no
play makes Jack a dull boy" is a
good rule to follow.
