Sometimes a June bride. with an

world at large concerning every lost
one of these vari-hued, vari-tempered,
various propositions that having once
become June bride she will by the
light Of nature. and entirely without in
reference from any intelligent adjust
ing agency, turn into a loving wife. a
devoted mother and the best house,
keeper anywhere in an entire tier OF
counties.
Generation after generation has grown
to a noble manhood with the idea firmly
imbedded in their craniums that while
they themselves may be encouraged to
be unlike, and each shall. according to
his natural bent, work out different
and perhaps somewhat devious des-
tiny even after he gets married, every
last girl of the lot before faltering al
luded to is going, by the necessities of
the case. to turn out exactly alike.
And do girls do this?
Nay. And again nay!
And why do they not do this? Because
they are naturally willful and wrong
headed, and require rather to be reverted
to type than to be allowed further to
pervert themselves from the original in
tention intended for them by the Great
Original Intender Himself?
Again, nay!
The original intention, II always seems

I'VE make a boast Of the high quail
ties of the woman Of the Rockies, and
Colorado is in the foreground for such
distinction. In way, We are pioneer
women and have helped to make our
states prosperity. We vote and ponder
public questions for the ultimate good
of our homes, our children and our state.
present and future. What ! wish to en-
phasize is that the women of Colorado
do vote. which is more than can be said
for the men. There are 10000 more men
than women In the Centennial state and
yet the statistics of the last election
show the feminine votes exceeded mas
culine ones from 43 TO 81 per cent. We
attend TO our duties quietly and without
ostentation, and really all the fuss comes
from outsiders who do not understand
the conditions at all. Another feature Is
that married men attend to their civic
duties more regularly than single ones,
which proves that the wife is an aid u
the performance Of this sacred obligation.
1t is frequently stated that Colorado IN
tends to withdraw the right OF the ballot
from women, that il has been found
unsatisfactory and that the women them
selves want to give back the privilege.
Nothing Is further from the truth.
when Colorado was admitted to the
Union clause in the constitution said
that the legislature may confer the right
TO vote on women. The question was
brought up and defeated about ten or
twelve years after the state was admitted.
In 1893 il was carried and women have
voted on every question since that time.
But about ten years ago the constitution
was amended TO meet certain objections
about the right Of foreigners to vote. Our
state, with many others, had been 50

intention to become a citizen. Conse-
quent!y the foreign vote threatened to
swamp matters and the issue was acute.
The change regarding the status OF for
eignerS was voted on by the people ana
had there been the least objection 10
women voting IL would have been chal-
lenged at the same time. But not word
was lodged against the privilege, SO that
this rumor must be placed against the
overzealousness of the ants Certainly
l never hear OF 1t in Colorado.
Colorado women take their civic
duties seriously. 1 was much impressed
when a prominent bookseller Of Denver
told me that after the right to vote had
been conferred on women he had sold
fifteen times more volumes on political
economy. political history. parliamentary
law and these allied themes in six
months than he had disposed Of In ten
years previous. We showed a determine
ton to go 10 the bottom of things and
we still maintain clubs which instruct
the novice in her duties. 1t makes an
intelligent and responsible lot of women
to whom grave issues may be safely
trusted.
