WOMAN is NOT BOUND.
TO THE PAST UNLESS
SHE HERSELF so WILLS IT
BY DOROTHY DIX.

I get great many pathetic letters
from women who have taken a step
aside from the straight and narrow way
and who ask piteously If they must al
ways be doomed to walk in the down
ward path, or whether they can GO
back and make a fresh start
Sometimes the writer is a woman who
has loved not wisely, but too well.
Sometimes it is a girl who has drifted
into wrongdoing through the sheer ignor-
ance and heedlessness and mad love of
gayety of youth, but these women have
repented their sin in bitterness and tears.
They yearn with very passion Of long
ing for the good things and the white
things OF life.
They ask If there is no redeeming of
the past for women; If there is no blot
ting out of the record against them, so
that they may take their place in the
world among respectable wives and
mothers.
Sometimes, as in the case of a letter
that 1 have received to-day, the writer
Is a woman who has the drink habit
that she is trying to conquer, but who is
ostracised by the community in which
she lives, and whose little children are
taunted with having a drunken mother.
She, too, wants to know what hope there
Is for her to ever win back her place in
society, even though she reforms.
Undoubtedly 1t is much harder for the
woman sinner to come back than 1t is
for the man sinner. This is not only be-
cause the world judges a woman harder
than it does a man, bat because the

ARE YOU IN FAVOR OF
THE BALLOT FOR WOMENe

Do you believe in votes for women
Do you believe that better political re-
suits can be obtained if men and women
work together, or think. on the Other
hand, that woman's voice in public af-
fairs will create dissension in the home?
Every reader of the Herald's Page for
Every Woman is invited to send her
opinion to its editor, expressing her rea-
sons for her conclusions in the matter
of wOman's suffrage whether they be pre-
or con.
Here is what Elizabeth G. Taylor, in
the New Voter, has to say in the matter.
1t is a source of considerable gratifca-
ton to suffragists that the argument of
sex ignorance is now rarely used TO COM
bat the subject of womans enfranchise-
ment Women have always been Iauded
Tor their virtues, but to the agitation of
the suffrage movement, in greater part,
is due the credit of the discovery that she
is wise as well as virtuous Any less ag-
gressiye campaign for political recog-
milton, any deeper inclination to accept
traditions handed down through CEN
tur.es of unreasoning prejudice, would
have left the sex in swaddIing clothes
Indefinitely and without hope of emanci-
patton.
At the present day the press and great
magazines Of the country devote much
space to recording the achievements of
women, even while many CT them
ANONYMOUSLY urge the capabilities OF the
sex as an argument against her political
development. The education thus attained

THE WAY TO WASH
FINE FLANNELS
Rain Water Is Almost a
Necessity.

When flannel Is put into quite clear
water, II this is hard, the lime salts that
cause the hardness are absorbed by the
absorbent fibers that seem to drink in
liquid. They absorb 1t by cellular at
traction, one cell sucking the water par
ticles up and so forcing the air previ-
ously contained in 1t into the next cell.
The action OF the small vacuum so pro-
duced is to draw up the water rapidly
from cell to cell. If this water contains
salts, their action on the flannel is bad,
away the particles Of softening animal
oil, the lanolin.
So rain water is almost a necessity for
flannel If 1t cannot be obtained, water
softened by wood ashes is the next best.
Or little borax may be dissolved in the
water before hand.
The soap is the next consideration for
flannel. On no account must a common
caustic soap be used for this material
The soda in 1t will ruin the fabric di-
rectly. changing the colors to an ugly
yellow. So mild curd soap Is wanted
and this in the form Of jelly
Soap Jelly MIIder Than Soap.
Soap jelly is far milder than ordinary
soap. 1t is made by shaving hard soap
into thin pieces and setting these to melt
In the oven or in jar of water set in a
saucepan until all the soap is dissolved
When the shavings three parts fill the Jar
tho vessel is filed with water. When
fully dissolved, and then cooled, the re-
suit Is soap jelly much milder than the
original hard soap was, on account of
the added water,
Some OF this jelly dissolved in the tepid
water for flannel washing will make 1t
Just right, nicely lathery, and soft,
The flannel must be dipped I'D and
down until It is clean, and not be rubbed
at all. II 1t be rubbed, then the hooks in
the hairs will entangle themselves. each
with each graphing and clinging. This is
one great cause of felting. When the
hand is drawn down over the fabric 10
squeeze out the water care must be taken
to squeeze down the way of the nap. The
nap goes from top to bottom of a well
made flannel garment II it be rubbed

Hardly had the. Puzzle Special gotten
up steam before passengers for the
weeks trip across the United States be-
gan to arrive.
Strange to say, they all took the same
train of cars, and yet not one of them
had the same itinerary.
They expected the Puzzle Limited to
steam them into all sorts Of queer places
in hunt for twenty-seven different
classes of people and bring them home
again, and the places they expected to
find these folks differed as widely as the
United States itself
But the Puzzle Special is an accounno-
dation train, stopping at every rabbit
path en- route If one but pulls the signal
cord, and so accommodating is tie con-
ductor that he will even hold tke cars
until the passenger has alighred, takes
q look around, and returns again to tell
whether she found the people for whom
Ehe sought the other folks remaining
in their seats while she looked, and
Laughing at her expectation of finding
the class she sought in such a place as
she demanded to look for them.

eide where to look for The Idle mo,

having the funniest time imaginable in
their search.
Nor are these the only classes Of folks
they have been unable to locate.
The Puzzle Special may be boarded at
any time during the week until noon
on Friday, so do not be discouraged If
you did not see the puzzle yesterday
and are only preparing for the trip this
morning.
The enigma is published again to-day
for those who missed it Sunday.
It takes no one out of the United
States, and is not an easy puzzle to find
the answers corresponding to those Of
its author, which are as clever and ap-
propriate as possible.
1t isn't because they are difficult that
the Puzzle Circle cannot find the names
OF these towns where certain classes
of people should go.
Ideas of Classes Differ.
1t is just that ideas of she classes of
people so differ that one puzzIer thinks a
certain class should be consigned to
some warm climate while another con-
testant thinks the very same class should
go to some place where the very marrow
would freeze in their bones.
