EVENING CHAT
BY RUTH CAMERON.

THE single standard of morality for
both sexes that you keep talking about
is absolutely impossible and absurd"
man wrote to me the other day, land
1 wish you would write on more sensi
BILE subjects. Tell women to stay at
home and darn their husbands stock
ings and leave the things they don't
understand alone, and you viii be
doing more good in the world"
There is a familiar ring about that
injunction to the ladies to attend to
their darning.
Some years ago, as newspaper
woman, 1 accompanied half a dozen
suffra gists who were making tour
through the state speaking on woman's
suffrage and trying to get signatures
for a giant suffrage petition.
In order to get incidents for my
story, I myself took the petition one
day, and went about with it in a mill
town where there was an unusually
ignorant class of people When the
men refused to sign, I always asked
them why they did not believe in wom-
ans suffrage, and in four cases out of
five 1 got slight variations of one an
swer:
81 want my wife to stay at home and
darn my stockings
But that is merely by the way.
What I started to speak about was
M friends assertion that a single
standard of morality for both men and
women is an absolute impossibility.
If this man had lived fifty or hum
dred years ago today, he would UNI
doubleday have said that 1t was an inn
possibility that women should enter
colleges or succeed in business.

PETE HAUsER AS A SCOUT.
Creates CONSERVATION at Haskell by
Securing Football Star.

Lawrence, Kan, Aug. 13.-"Pete''
HauSer, former star player on the
Haskell football team, made visit to
Haskell last week to see old friends,
and it transpired today that Hauser' 8
visit was also for the purpose of secur-
ing some experienced Haskell football
players to fill positions on the Carlisle
football team.
Hauser will captain the Carlisle
squad the coming season. Among the

who played star game at quarter on
the Haskell team last year. But hewitt
announced today that he will remain
at Haskell. Hauser had better luck
with some of the other players. chip
Caldwell, who will coach Haskell this
year, said today that Louis Roberts,
captain and star tackle of the Haskell
team last year, has decided to go to
Carlisle this fall. Roberts is a strong
kicker and his loss will prove a serious
handicap to CaldwelPs squad. Cald-
well said today that he had expected
nearly a full team of old men to be
back this year, but that present pros
poets are that only five or six expert
enced players will return.
1t is understood that Hauser's visit
to Haskell is responsible for the deficit
in the Haskell squad. Hauser's trip to
Kansas was made necessary by the
fact that a number of old Carlisle
gridiron men played their last games
last year. and that Carlisle has an un-
usually heavy schedule the coming
season

Another romance, which budded dur

pie of Washburn, is now thought to be
full blown. The girl lives at Valley
Falls, and was extremely popular in
college circles during her attendance at
Washburn. When she came to Topeka
to visit not long ago she wore a dia-
mona on the tell-tale finger, and the
friends of the young people who have
set about to di3 gnoSe their case have
given the verdict heart trouble; re-
suits fatal"

Nor did he have the help of riches
to put him where he is. He was a
