The ability Of always seeing the
bright side or shining up. the, dark
one is a blessing to the person who
possesses the power, as we'll as to
those with whom he has to do. 1t
changes our daily struggle in the
performance Of duty into playing the
Joyful game Of life. :, Instead of the
home being a place of grumhling and
growing 1t becomes a place Of laugh
ser, and song, Wrinkles will not
come SO soon upon your fair counte-

flowing from the heart is trick that
may be learned by everyone with a

Perhaps most people regard the
agitation In this country for women
suffrage as of quite modern origin.
AS far as 1t is an organized movement
that Is true, but 1t is an interesting
though not generally known fact that
as far back as 164S woman claimed
the right to vote in the Maryland as
sembly, which convened In January
Of that year. Miss Margaret Brent
was her name and she claimed the
right to cast two votes-oue as ad-
ministratrix; for the late Governor
Leonard Calvert and one for the pro-
prietary, Lord Baltimore. But the
assembly was so ungallant as to re-
fuse the request.
