Miss CoCcinella replied: Members of
my family destroy the enemies of GER

the farmers are fond of US. You de-
stroy the vegetables themselves, instead
of their enemies, which. you see, Is

OF BEING
A WOMAN SHOWN

By DOROTHY DIX.

hardest-hearted of US might well weep
when we hear the thin little wall Of
protest with which the woman greets
life. 1t so fully presages the tears that
she must shed, that are a part Of her
fate.
Indisputably there is no use in eriev-
ing over spilled milk. What is, is, and
she who is born a woman cannot
escape her sex, and must cen dree mr.
weird, as the Scotch fatalists say, but
there is nothing more pathetic than the
lot of womanhood. Just to be born a
woman is to be born under the double
cure Of Nature and society.
Nature Jays its ban first upon wom-
an by making her Of frazier and weaker
physique than man, by giving her a
more complicated bodily structure, and
a more highly strung nervous organiza-
tion than he has. Then it lays upon
her every disease, every quivering agony
OF flesh to which he is heir, and adds
other suferings inseparable from he>
sex, that no man ever knows, and that
are so great that they have come to
be the very synonym OF pain that may
be borne. The greatest invalid among
men does not suffer more in a lifetime
than does just the ordinary woman who
has average health.
for heavy and continuous labor, fate
makes no provision for her, but chucks
her out into the world to sink or swim,
live or die, survive or perish as she
may. There is a theory that every
woman has a home, that there is some
snug nest to shelter her, some g. ong
arm to defend her. This Is true only
Of the favored few. The great ma
jority Of women unloved, unappreciated,
sick, suffering, with aching backs and

GAME OF BARREL
IN KINDERGARTEN
Cylinders Can Easily Be
Made of Baking Pow
der Boxes.
By MARGARET LOUISE WALLACE

1>HE sphere, or wooden ball, the
cylinder and cube, considered as
one, come logically after the
First Gift" or the ball, which
is the first thing the baby plays with,
and the mother uses to teach her little
play-lessOns. They sound a bit fOrmi-
dable, but I " be easily made. They
are best of cd, but a substitute may
be used. Ii almost every household
there is some sort of wooden ball, such
as used to be sold fastened to the end
of an elastic string. Or. perhaps, it
has come with n game. This is the
sphere. Then, if mother will take an
empty baking powder tin, soak off the
label and adjust the cover tightly, she
will have a very good cylinder. The
cube may be one of little Neds alpha
bet blocks, with the paper letters and
pictures, which would distract his mind
from the pure form which he is learn
ing, peeled off. The three forms should
be harmonious in size.
When they have been put into a neat
box, so baby himself may take them
out and realize that they, in a way,
belong together, the game may begin.
The ball or sphere is already an old
friend OF little Ned's. He will at once
begin to compare them, and the differ
ences between the soft, lively ball and
the wooden, smooth sphere he will soon
notice, as well as it's likeness in shape
and movement.
The tin can will roll. too, mother"
cries Ned, experimenting, but only one

'.TVhv not asks mother

Then Nelly and Ned play with the
forms, building, tossing, and handling
them, until mother is ready to play
with them again.

ball and the baking powder can. Why

With assistance he soon discovers
that the corners and angles prevent

questions, and possibly to answer them
over and over again, only to be tripped

The Washington times., 1911-01-17

n OT long ago the papers told the
nj story of the Western mother
/ who killed her babe as soon as
1t was born because 1t was
girl. The woman was a poor, sickly,
neurotic creature, an overworked drudge
OF farmers wife, whose whole life had
been spent in toiling beyond her strength
on the treadmill of domestic slavery.
Her husband was one of the dun, stolid,
Unconditional men who never think to
show their wives any affection or ap-
probation, so there was nothing to
recompense her for all she endured.
Existence to her meant nothing but
endless labor and suffering. and so,
when she realized that she had thrust
life upon girl who was, in all prob
ability, doomed to grow up and follow
IN her own bleeding footsteps, she reach
ed out her feeble, worn hand and choked
the child to death.
The physicians said that the woman
was crazy. They took her away to an
asylum, and she went muttering over
being woman"
This Is, of course, an abnormal illus
tratiOn of the sense Of tragedy that all
women feel underlies womanhood. No
mother ever looks for the first time in
the face Of her little daughter without
her eyes dimming with a very passion of
pity for all the little being must go
through, and that is the inescapable
heritage of her sex. Not without reason
do the big guns boom, and there are re-
joicings and feasting when a boy is
born, and do people walk softly and
quietly when a girl first opens her eyes
on the world. The most callous and

Crocheting a Purse

taking three-chain to turn. Turn and
work one treble in each chain, turn and
continue the same till you have the re-
quired length. Remember that the work
has to be doubled from beginning TO
end to form two sides.
When you have the length desired.
start decreasing one stitch at each end
until all the stitches are done. This
point forms the turnover flap.
Double the work and sew neatly on
the wrong side, turn back and sew a
patent fastener to the under side of the
flap, which fastens to the purse itself
If you wish to faSten the purse around
your neck, fasten your thread at one
end of the purse and work eighty-chain
and attach the opposite side. Buy a
brass ring and double crochet around il,
catching it into the eighty-chain in the
center. Pass the cord to go around the
neck through this ring and the purse is
completed. -,

USEFUL ARTICLES
IN MACRANE WORK
Hand Bags and Shopping
Bags, and Dutch
Collars.
GOOD while ago macrame work

GOOD while ago macrame work
~ was all the fashion. 1t was an
~ odd handicraft, consisting of
knotting heavy twine into pat
terms and fashioning the articles thus
formed into all sorts Of things for wear
and ornament. Now, very few people
do this work, but it still has some ad-
herents, and many of US possess odd bits
done by grandmother or Greatauht
Eliza. Here are few hints for making
use of them in modern ways:
Both handbags and shopping bags may
be made of dark or bright plush or
satin, embroidered with this macrame
work or completely covered with
network of twine. These bags have long
hanging fringes of the twine, perhaps
held in place by beads; in fact, macrame
can very we'll be combined with bead
work.
Then there are sets of Dutch collars
And turnback cuffs, with or without a
fabric background. These are very
quaint on severe tailored blouses or on
black and dark silk or merceHzed waists,
the collars fastened by a mosaic or
cameo pin. 1t takes certain type
of girl to wear this style, but to that
type it is very becoming.
II you have a good deal of the mac
rame and do not know what to do with
1t, make an antimacassar of it. Get
grayish linen, cut It into two squares
and connect and frame these with your
bits Of macrame, not paying any atten-
ton TO whether these match in pattern
Finally, edge with a border Of the knot
ted twine, which you can do yourself
when no design is required. The effect
Is charming and exceedingly unusual.
