ADVENTURES or ROSE RAMBLER

Dear Little Men and Little Women: l
will tell you why call my doll Rose Ram
bier. When I was little girl, about Ave
years old, my aunt gave me doll and at
first l just called her Rose. 1 thought a
lot Of her, but when l had kept her
while 1 broke her. Ny parents bought a
new head for her. I would sometimes let
my little brother and sister play with her.
One day my little sister got her when she
was OF the bed and poked her eyes out.
My elder brother and thought we would
fix her, so we took the wig off and we
spoiled St My mamma told me to put her
up in the clothes press. One day l went
upstairs to find her. but I could not find
her anywhere. l came down and toid
mamma It was like the story Of "Rose
Rambler in the piece Of The Runaway
Doll" in Little Folks" paper. About
year after that went upstairs to put
something away when my aunt was mere.
l looked in the clothes press, and the hrst
thing saw was my doll. She was dressed
I'D fine, with blue eyes that would open
and shut; her wig was on, and she had
white bonnet and veil over her face
Aunt told me If I broke her 1t would be
the last doll she would give me, and L
have not let my little brother and sister
play with her since. Aunt makes me a
lot OF clothes for Rose now because L
don't break her. 1 have got quite few
dresses for my doll. Sometimes / dress her
up like a little baby, with long dress:

MARY SHAW THINKS IT A JOKE.

Your editor doesn't want a serious an
swer to the statements of the eminent
doctor-he just wants reply in KIND
doesn't he?" she inquired
What should you consider a serious
reply?'
.eWhy, If you go down into the depths Of
the question:
And here Miss Shaw did go into the
depths showing a working knowledge of
ethnology. ethology, ethics. the Darwinian
theory, the woman movement, psychology
and lot of other things, all of which We're
mighty interesting.
But" she continued, as we emerged
again into the daylight Of the casual and
the conversational, speaking in just the
sort of surface fashion DR.. Baff has been
quoted as using. what he has said isn't
true, and I'll tell you why. Somewhere
away back In those prehistoric times of
which we have been speaking. when the
sexes were equal. man for some reason be-
gan to slide out of his share of maternal
responsibilities and gradually got the up
per hand. He's kept 1t ever since, and has
naturally formed a mans world, world
founded on masculine ideas of what is
risht, wrong and expedient.' The earth
is his. and the fulness thereof. Such as it
&c II belongs to him, and he is responsible
for it 1t is in no sense n womans
world"
what would a wonan's world be like,
Miss Shaw?' interrupted curiously.
who knows? We've none of us ever
even dared TO think Of it 1t might be a
place so much worse than this that IL
would be frightful even to contemplate.
But the women who are to come must face
the thought, must realize IL. eventually.
And out of the fusing Of the mans world
and the woman's world we may long ages
hence strike the perfect balance-perhaps."

Rafr was wrong when I interrupted you,"

FEAR OF BEING "UNWoMA2;LY. -

Yes. indeed. Just as soon as we get
over being afraid OF the word 'unwomanly.'
Z Jnwomanly' practically means 'unmother-
ly and no woman wants to be called that.
Why, that one word unwomanly' has done
more to retard woman's development than
any other dozen things. AS q weapon in
the hands of a determined man it is prac-
tically invincible
Don't | know it?" put in
Sometimes, you know, all the seething
and conflicting Ideas of the century will
begin to bubble and boil all at once in
woman's brain. until finally she bursts out
with an intense I think" Miss Shaw
drew herself up dramatically and paused.
Then with a sudden cnange to the patrol

There seems to have been some original

II should say SO. It reminds me Of one
time in Chicago when the politicians were
having fit over the possibility OF votes
for women They were very busy telling
the good women in chivalrous horror that
if they could vote, why, so could all the
dreadful creatures OF the street; and Just
think how awful that would be Finally

indignation. do you realize how terrible it
would be If these creatures had a vote?'
No said Miss Adams, I don't What!
You don't object?' they gasped. No. said
Jane. sweetly; L really think they need the
vote more than we do. If they are as de-
praved as you say, 1 think the response
bility will be good for them-respOnsibility
always is good for people
Now" said Miss Shaw enthusiastically,
when woman is awakening all over the
world to her sisterhood with all women 1t
seems little late TO discover her barbar-
ism, don't you think?''
You knew when we started what I think
of glittering masculine generaities on the
subject of women I answered
Though, at that" she continued. as
though l had not spoken, 1T may be a
sign Of personal growth in DR.. BaT. He,
individually. has begun to awaken to the
barbarism of civilized dress. for instance.
He thinks he wants woman 10 pur aside
but do you think for one instant
lie would be seen on public street speak
ing to a woman dressed in what he thinks
IS rational dress or that he'd let the women
of his family associate with her?
The men certainly do love to guy our
clothes; but look at the way they lampoon
and avoid US If any one of us tries TO dis
sent liz any particular from the prevailing
fashion. No one would catch any one of
him taking any one of us TO church in any
rational dress. believe me! II we leave OF

FOR being truthful and honest-can you

She has always had Infinitely so much

elevator accident at the Proctor screen
works late Friday afternoon that he died
within two hours.
Mr.. Kirby was not an employee of the

the old man attempted to cross to the
other side. Just at this time the slowly
descending elevator struck him on the
head and threw him into the pit, crush
ing him between the elevator and the
pit bottom. His cries were heard by
the operator who Immediately reversed
his car and started it upward.
Mr. Kirby was SO years old and ma
tive of Burlington. He is survived by
