hear of a second story woman? ask
you again or course not. Then that
brings ME back to my original propo-
sition, which 1 now prove by that
that until she can qualify as second-
story woman she cannot vote. Tho
man who made the English language
looked ahead and couldn't see anything
, Ike sunraSette. There is no such
word as yeggwoman. That proves
again that am right. You can't fool
me. BESIDES. !, follows that II we give
you the ballot we necessarily take
away from you the right of divorce
and the allurementa OF alimony Would
you surrender that cherished right?
Would You stay married when the
divorce court is the home of the brave
and the house Of the free: should
think not.
Rock Tint Wrecks Movement.
But now said, 4 ccene TO tho
rock on which all suTragette boats are
wrecked. You Will pardon me, 1 am
sure. IL 1 become bit personal. but
plain speech Is golden. There isn't
any use TO beat around the bush. The
ballot and the bargain counter cannot
belong TO the same class, nor can the
hand that stuffs the turkey afford to
stun the ballot box.
Before / get to my main point,
which decides the question once and
for all in Kansas. ! want to ask YOU
dear women II you could set two Jap
anesc kimonos, real silk. cut on tho
bias and with hemstitched butterflies

into Z number three shoe and still be
ablc 10 dance than to squeeze your way
through the crowds around the pre-
cinct In the Fifth Ward7 And wouldn't
you rather take those wrinkles out OF

OF the body polite? Wouldn't you
rather have a vanity box than bal
lot box-now. honest, wouldn't you?
Wouldn't you rather have rel hair
than real votes? Wouldn't sou athc-
have figure that Is a figure than
place on the ticket? Wouldn't you
rather have your name on some sick
mans life Insurance policy, with a
little arsenic about tho house. than TO
have your name on the poll books?
Wouldn't you rather have silk hose
without the franchise than cotton
hose with the franchise? Wouldn't
you rather have IA baby mouth aud
soulful eyes and great. sweeping eye
lashes and dimple In your chin than
chair at the table where the returns
arc counted? Wouldn't you rather
| pour punch at wedding than TO serve
as Judge of election?

In this discussion. Wouldn't you
! rather have husband If you had
none, and not have a husband, II you
! had one, than 10 have this suffrage
right? Did you get me-?
They did. The good sister who sat

motion. and no suTragettes will ever

the movement-crusIed It to death
right then and theirs that night"
Slipping quietly out OF the room

nearer home, Mrs. Skillit quickly came
back with steaming cup OF hot water
tea. Bill drank 1t. then put the cup
