Respect for American Women

Where will you find women treated
with greater consideration, more true
chivalry than in America? There every
woman Is a queen, and the cause OF II
all is that every American woman. be
she millionaire's wife or humble walt
ress, respects herself, believes In her
right to the consideration and protec-
ton of man-and she gets 1t, says an
English journal.
Whether they get the suffrage or not,
women will rule and always have ruled
the world-indirectly Men rule osten-
sibly, but women rule men. consequent
w women are the real rulers of the
world, and many skeptics on thic point
would be dumbfounded did they know
how far-reaching has been womans IN
f1uence in most of the great issues OF
the worlds history.
Cleopatra, Helen OF Troy. and othet
well-known women of anTent history
who. without the suffrage and women
rights, influenced the destiny of nations,
will prove the truth of this. and In later
times feminine influence has been no less
marked though there has not perhaps
been an open acknowledgement of IT.
