May "a, 1911.

It is a long cry from New York City to
Tacoma, Wash, but club women here have
IDEAS as to what constitutes the head OF a
family which will carry to the western
coast, where en- authority. in the guise OF a
commissioner, has defined the head of a
family as the one who pays the bills,
whether the defined head wears real
trousers, merely harems or the softest
laciest gowns, says Theodore Bean In the
New York Telegram.
II seems the Equal Suffrage League Of
Tacoma questioned q commissioner as to
who, as the head OF the family, was en-
titled to the $500 exemption from taxes.
And this is what he said;
''The support of a family is its head,
whether a single person, an adult brother
or sister, and the dependent or dependents
need not even live with the person provid-
ing support"
With only a little dissenting note from a
bride or two, the members of the Rainy
Day club, in session at the Hotel Aston,
voted q woman as the head Of the family;
that a woman who doesn't know how to
| rule is fool; that a man is the head OF
his business and woman the head of the
home that a man makes money in his
office and . woman saves 1t by good
housekeeping. To promote and insure har-
mony IN the home all q man has 10 do IL
to recognize the feminine sway and do his
best to be reconciled to It.
Some men are unmanageable in the be-
ginning, 1t was admitted, but II a woman
can rock a cradle and thereby rule a world
she can rock a mans evil or hasty nature
into submission in such nice way he viii
believe the change was brought about
through his own nobility OF character. his
appreciation OF home ideals.
"a woman may easily assume the place
of head OF a family and hold on to the
power, but she must so about II nicely, -
said Mrs Bertha Welby, the founder of the
club. and tho woman who doesn't know
Ihrw to rule Is q fool. All the sentiment
about ruling the world and the cradle
means nothing II q woman does not rule
her home. All women cannot go about II in
TIE same way because mems natures must
| be understood or at least studied-nen
must never be taken for sranted-the mold
