Baroness Aletta Korff tells in one
OF the magazines how the women Of
Finland came 20 vote. The fact Is
that women had TO show that they
could meet an emergency before the
vote came TO them. They have not
had many opportunities to take the
initiative in the worlds history and
they have not always responded when
the opportunity came, but when a
crisis. such as that in 1904. when the
strike and the revolutionary outbreak
In Russia took place at the same time,
occurred. they proved they could
make peace by doing It. Not until
England and the United States find
the women helping them to bear some
great trouble will they give them the
right to vote.

Short skirts or Long?

There can be no doubt that the real
ly short skirt has thoroughly estab-
lished itself this spring. OF course.
for walking and all outdoor games 1t
is a delightful and most sensible
fashion, but there is some question as
to it's beauty and suitability where the
dressy afternoon frock or evening
toilet is concerned. For the quite
young woman who is still in her teens,
or has recently quilted them, the short
frock looks girlish and pretty, and is.
moreover. very practical and comfort
able. But with the older woman it is
quite a different matter. She looks
simply ridiculous IN these fashionable
curtailed skirts. and, far from giving
her a girlish appearance. they add
years to her apparent age.

PROBLEMS MANY YEARS OLD
Children Of Today Puzzle over Them
Just as They Did = Thousand
Years Ago.

When King Alfred the Great was
reigning over England, C thousand
years ago. school children pondered
over problems in arithmetic much as
our boys and girls do now.
Here are two taken word for word
from a lesson book Of that day:
"The swallow once invited the snail
to dinner He lived Just one league
(three English miles) from the spot,
and the snail travelled at the rate Of
only one inch day. How long
would II be before he dined?"
An old man met a child. Good
day, my son. he said. May you live
as long as you have lived. and as
much more, and thrice as much as all
this; and II God gives you one year
In addition to the others. you will be

PLEA FOR THE GROWING GIRL
Problem Of Maternal Management
That is Worth Some Serious
Consideration.

So many older women seem to
think that because girl of from four
teen to twenty or SO is likely to be
callow and sometimes forward and
rather ridiculous in her pretentions of
age and dignity she must be contin-
ually snubbed and put down" They
keep calling her Child" and laugh
ing at her opinions and criticisms,
and leaving her out of discussion and
awake with a start to realize that the
child is woman, and a pert and en-
bittered woman at that.
OF course, American girls are no
torious for their unpleasant presump-
ton, and there are many, many things
which a girl in her teens is not com.
petent to decide for herself, let alone
for others; but there is no reason
why a girl who really is growing up
should be made to feel that she is al
ways In the way and must be pat
roniZed when she is noticed at all.
Give her at least a chance to feel
that she is one of the family and that
she is step above the children in
the nursery, whom she is likely so to
despise.
Here, as elsewhere. you will go
most safely in the middle" and this
rather delicate problem OF maternal
management will settle itself If CON

in fact, world of airy and attractive
decorations-are cleverly fashioned
from the feathers of the turkey, chick.
en-, pigeon, peacock and pheasant.
These are bleached, dyed, eaten with
acids, pieced and pasted until their
origin is lost sight of. Other birds
of bright plumage, such as the parrot,
aud birds like the blackbird and spar
row, of which there are myriads, are
used, but they are not cruelty treated,
unless sudden death is cruel.
The wearing of bird upon the hat
may be in questionable taste and at
present one sees almost no birds, but
any amount of plumage. Gradually
the wearing of feathers may die out
but the signs of the times do not point
that way. More plumage is shown
now than ever before. Women should
learn to discriminate in choosing IT,,
and select those feathers which they
may wear with an easy conscience.
They are obliged to inform themselves
in some states of the Union or run
the risk of forfeiting their forbidden
property. For laws have been passed
and are enforced to protect certain
birds, and one may not own their
plumage.
