FAMILY SUFFRAGE

Mo NSNEG lSi-FNs
Colonel Marchand, the French
army officer whose entrance 20
Fashoda some years ago nearly
caused war between England and
France, is the author Of a new suf-
frage scheme which is attracting
much attention in Paris. This was
brought out as a suggested amend
ment to bill introduced in the Cham
Der of Deputies by the Able Lemire,
who proposes that a married man
have two votes, or three when he be-
comes the father of three children.
Colonel Marchand in a letter to
Excelsior sets forth his idea, which
may be called family franchise" Its
basic principle is that the family in
stead of the individual be taken as
the voting unit and that the head of
each family cast the collective ballots
of his house, the number of these, of
course, depending upon the number in
the family.
He got the idea from the Ivory
Coast of Africa and found something
similar existing in certain parts of
China where the Fundamental basis
of all society is the family. Return
ing to France, he ran for Parliament
! In lone Il, n ,>op,,Io,,o Dorie diotr;ot ~
platform of which this was the chief
plank. He was beaten, but he kept on
spreading his doctrine, and now, he
says, the time is ripe for launching
it again, for it has taken root among
thinking men and is being discussed
seriously.
Where is the family represented?
asks Colonel Marchant. Nowhere.
That is why I propose to give the
family life from the social point Of
view by recognizing it's political
rights. This social existence of the
family should be consecrated by law
and inscribed on the statute books.
when this shall have been done
heads of families will be placed be.
tween their family interests and their
corporate interests; they will have to
hold the balance even between these
two sides. Then his family will be
a power to its head, while today it is
only a burden"
Colonel Marchand does not believe
in giving women the suffrage, but he
does demand that women be placed
on an exact equality with men. If a
woman be the head of the family,
then it will be the woman who will
cast the family votes. If man be
the head of the family, his wife win
have an equal right with him to de-
eide how the votes of herself, her chill.
dren and her husband shall be cast.
A corollary Of this is that a man
who fails to support his family shall
lose his right to cast its votes, jury
of heads Of families depriving him OF
his headship and bestowing this upon
his wife or upon whichever member
OF the family shall have become its
active head.

The key note for all hangings should be
simplicity and suitability. There are, of
course. many ways in which they may be
hung; but in general it may be said that
cumbersome, dust catching. festoon dTapery
has been banished and the lace curtain and
overhanging that once swept the floor have
disappeared in favor of simpler forms-the
sill length hsngfngs Of today.
The selection of materials and the study
of the proper methods of hanging the cur
tains is a delightful duty. There are guam
titles Of quaint, old fashioned English
chintzess and reproductions Of delightful
cretonnes Of colonial days for bedroom use.
For the second floor sitting room there is a
wealth of hand blocked linens and taffetas
from which to select. These hand blocked
materials. prints de luxe, are also made in
various effects, especially for dining rooms.
In breakfast rooms they are almost indis-
pensable. and for porch furnishings and
cushions they stand alone.

send your toes as far away as you are able.
Turn over from the waist up, keeping the
