with the general lines of the suit rather,
than marking striking innOVat tons En-
broldered motifs are much used on these
models. also braid trimmings, frogs and
fancy buttons. Many of the suits show
the silk braid edge binding, which is a

 Further, it is urged that there are some duties incumbent upon citizenship which women could not discharge, others the discharge of which would often be embarrassing, and still others in which they would likely be more influenced by sympathy than justice But this is true to TO small extent of both sexes Old age relieves the man from military, fire man and juror services. So do sick ness and physical injuries. Sympathy does not always blind the judgment Is not a masculine juror fully as likely to be influenced by the pretty face and tears of woman litigant as feminine juror would be by anything in the appearance or conduct of male party to an ac- ton? My experience tells me that the most dangerous adversary man has m a law suit IS an attractive woman. And IS sympathy, especially in criminal mai tcrs. always an enemy of justice' The quality of mercy is not strained and 'mercy seasons justice" Are we sure that our rigid criminal laws and their equally rigid administration are perfect? Is not reformation as much an object of the law as punishment Is not mother love one of the strongest forces m a mans life? And may VIC not well be- Iieve that woman's gentle touch upon orr criminal law in all its varied processes of administrator will do more for the criminals reformation than masculine rigor and adherence to the letter of the statutes?

quite turbulent life. More th.a ence has the military been called out to pre- serve order, and many instances of erievous outrages have been recorded
 Intcmperance and the social evil are abundant. What under such circum- stances has woman's suffrage accom- plished? This IS question more easily asked than answered. Woman has not forced her way into politics, though she
 has held some minor offices and dis charged their duties acceptably. There
 IS much talk of sending one of their leaders, cultivated and practical won- an, to Congress at the next election
 According to the best information I can ret her influence on political life has been mainly in the way of restraint, pre-
 venting the nomination of unworthy persons, and demanding, as in the case of Judge Lindsey, of the Juvenile Court in Denver, the election of the best man. She has not hesitated to take her part in school matters, and her insistence has caused many improvements in the ad- riiilis;fatien of city affairs She has not reformed everything. Intemperance still prevails and the social evil abounds. But large changes like these cannot be ac- cornplished solely by legislation or in a day. II the tendency of her efforts is in the right direction it is all that can be expected. To sum 1t up in a word. The woman's suffrage has not been hurtful. It has helped little; perhaps more than can easily be particularized
 Ii we look across the waters we find that in some of the Scandinavian na- tions full suffrage has been granted, while in many other European countries efforts arc being made to bring 1t about In addition must be noticed the change in the position of woman. Fifty years ago the only vacations open to her were teaching and sewing. If she were averse to tl.se, or failed in them. tine only al formative was to marry. and then it was "any man. Good Lord, any man," or else to live with some relative as the generally despised old maid But with rin the last half century she has entered tinto active outdoor life and is no longer

Wyoming is chiefly an agricultural and stock-raising State, with no large commercial city and compar ativelv little manufacturing or mining Public schools open to both sexes abound and a gen ersl intelligence prevails among both. It IS not strange therefore that little aggressive spirit IS shown by the female voter; that there is a community of thought and purpose between husband and wife. man and woman Yet it is worthy of notice that there has been little of the commercial element and no scandal in its political life It is not un- reasonable to believe that this is some what due to the feminine element, which. though relatively small, would 5e prompt to antagonize any effort of bad men to secure office or grasp for undue privilege Certainly, so far as can be seen. female suffrage has worked no harm to and probably been a wholesome restraint up- on the political life of the State.
 In Utah the relative proportion of the sexes is much closer than that of Wy onning. The significant feature of its life IS the Mormon church. As woman is more religious than her brother, the dominance of church control over her is greater than over him. Indeed, 1t has often been said that female suffrage was brought about by the rulers of the Mormon church in the belief that there by its control of politics in Utah would be made more secure. Be that as it may, it IS clear that, when that suffrage is largely a part of the machinery of a church, it is helpful or hurtful as the interests of that church seem to its lead CTS 10 demand Its results cannot be considered a fair test. such as will be found where her action is free from church control The fulncss of that control in Utah is evident from the fact that. after the alleged revelation to Brigham Young, the women freely sc- cepted polygamy.

or to force their way against the efforts of the police into the halls of legislation They must appeal to the Americans sense of justice and belief in the bene- ficial effects of woman's suffrage. They cannot here force their way to the ballot
 It is said that the sex. as body, is opposed to the granting of the franchise. Associations of women have been formed in different States, claiming that they believe female suffrage would be an in jury to them; that their welfare is pro- noted by making the home more secure and more fully under their control, rather than by participation in public life; Beyond the open, direct opposition of these associations, IS general indiffer- ence of large majority of the sex. They do not seem to care for it; they look upon the effort to obtain 1t as mere political clatter, adding that where it has been granted it IS treated as only a toy I lately read in a magazine an article by a woman describing vis;t to Cheyenne, Wyoming and what she saw take place on election day.

When the red, white and blue tissue paper coverings were stripped from the shot. it was found to consist of delicious balls of popcorn or ribbon candy, which were promptly enjoyed.
 Those who failed to catch a cannon ball were afforded a chance to distin- guish themselves and incidentally to win a prize in the game of the Thirteen Original States.
 For this little cards were distributed, having pencils attached with tri-colored ribbons, and the numbers from 1 to B inclusive written down the left-hand margin. The young folks drew up their chairs in a semi-circle. facing the map. which had formed Exhibit 3. Each boy and girl was now called on to identify the States by writing thei. names, as these were supposed to be opposite the numbers on the cards, for identification.
 Fifteen minutes was allowed for this feat. The players who at the end of that time was found to have named the most States correctly won . prize This was an interesting volume of stories from early American history.

The first relic, placarded Exhibit l." was an American flag, made, it was noticed, with only thirteen stars on the blue ground This was tackled on the wall with a white sheet as back ground. The explanation in the cata- Iogue read. The Flag of General George Washington. This beautiful ban ner became Washington's (and ours) in TIT. It has been in the family ever since, though more stars have been added"
 Exhibit was tiny cherry tree of the kind sold in all novelty stores and toy departments at this time of the year. The explanation in the catalogue read, This tree belonged to the great mans father It was cut down by George at an early age, and was never afterwards separated from him"
 A little farther on the laughing guests found Exhibit 8. This was a map Especially drawn), the principal outlines of which resembled the boun- diaries of the Thirteen Original States. Towns and rivers were given-the for rer as they now exist-but the names of the States themselves were omitted, for reason which appeared later on m the entertainment. Instead of a name, each State was identified with a number. This exhibit was labeled View of the United States Just After the Revolutionary War;
 Exhibit was toy cannon, mounted on small table with a heap of red, white and blue balls beside it The two Continental soldiers, bought in. nov city shop, stood beside it at attention.

 Further in favor of female suffrage is the belief that it will tend to cleanse the pclls and purify politics.
