on some legitimate revolving office chair from which
she gets her one dizzy view of the world.
The gambler woman goes through life on the eter-
nal googoo, and all men are material for her vince
dles-j anitors conductors, walters, bellboys,-she
saves tips and gives her glances to them all the
butcher from whom she gets the chops and the
dertaker who buries her husband. She looks about
her like triumphant Cleopatra and asks with
what suffrage will do for her.
This is what it will do: it will obliterate her by
eevating the standards of honest womanhood to
that of the honest who pays he goes and does
not consider it necessary to go through life like dog
begging for bone.
Suffrage will kill Chvalry used to bleat with the
other Antis-as though Chivalry relative
of mine! Chivalry has been pretty dead, SO far as
outward seeming goes, for sometime. 1t has played
dead, at all events until that it has answered
to the call for help from the Suffragists.
What the average woman must do who is 1aboring
under the obsession of high sounding political
phrases that she does not fathom is to regard the
Vote Symbol. Star that will light the way to
cleaner safer paths for womens feet. 1t will
deem them from the Alice Sit by the Fire blight that
falls on the manless woman like plague from one

it off, she dares to regard herself having her divine

the mills for voiceless animals.
1t will make for better marriage and divorce laws
which cannot be played with by a twostep to Reno
and back again. 1t will better the actually degrad-
ing conditions of traffic in the crowded of
of cities, where women the victims of atroc1-
ties of which they can't speak 1t will attack Food
Trusts and Cold Storage systems.
1t will tighten the Woman Handicap which has

her heart hopeful and helpful, but the less,
through many cruel conditions which dead
against her, feeling the filings that her portion,
until she sinks, worn out-as men do not wear out
for they fashioned body and soul for the fray.
Too many of us have regarded the Suffrage carica-
ture rather than the thing itself the rampant
man at the polls, the she rowdy who well dressed or
otherwise is the exact opposite in type of the
woman who is falling in line gradually. not for her
individual gain but for those of her own sex who
suffer wrongs
And this rowdy woman used to bleat in my be-

There is no need to mention the women's

Women may develop into political sex in

DALE shimmering green, and soaked in sun, the
L miles of sedge flats lay outspread from the edge
of the slow bright water to the foot of the far
dark wooded purple hills. Winding through the
quiet green levels came tranquil little stream.

the golden-glowing water. At the extreme tip of

crest feathers drawn far back by curious I'M

tween the bumped blue wing shoulders. From the
lower part of the neck hung fine fringe of vaporous
rusty gray plumes which lightly yelled the chestnut
colored breast. The bird might have seemed asleep
like the drowsy expanse of green sedge silver blue
water, and opalescent turquoise sky, but for its
eyes. Those eyes. round, unwnking, of hard

The butterfly these blossoms, or perhaps
smelt them, and futtered in their direction to see
those pure chalices held honey. But on his way he
noted the moveless figure of the heron conspicuous
above the ranks of the sedge. Perhaps he took the
curious shape for post or stump. In any case, it
seemed to offer an alluring place of rest, where he
might pause for moment and faunt his glowing
wings in the before dancing onward to the honey
blossoms. He 1ickered nearer. To him those un-

In that instant, like flash of light the long pale
neck and straight yellow beak shot OUT and the but
terf1y impaled Twisting his head shoreward,
without shifting his feet the heron struck the glow

Then having swallowed the morse leisurely he drew
his head down again between his shoulders and
sumed his moveless waiting.
The next matter of interest to come within the
vision of those inscrutable eyes dragon fly
chase. Hurting low over the sedge tops and flashing
in the sunlight like lace pin of rubies, small
rose coored dragon fly, fleeing for its life before

amethyst. The chase could have but one ending;

great blue heron kept still enough The this
point went softly over shoal half sand, half mud,
and in the faint of the clear amber-b brown
current the sunlight wove sfimmering network on
the bottom.
Across this darted shadow The heron's beak
shot downward with almost inaudible splash
transfxing the shadow and emerged with glitter

mouthful could be traced clearly down the birds

AS the morsel fairly down. the bird
stretched his neck to its full length, with curious

completed. Then he resumed his post of watch

extremity of the sandspit looked like weather
beaten post placed there by man for his inexplcable
convenience in regard to hitching boats; but pres

stopped. Perhaps he saw the menacing glitter of
that yellow unwinking stare. After moment of
