How | do dislike these tight skirts"
said Miss Blaney. n think that women

they would go back to petticOats, and
all the frilly, lacy things which are so
essentially feminine.
These present ia shions are certainly

a crinoline in fact; something that es-
love lace and all beautiful materials,
and lots of them. These ridiculous
skinny skirts are ugly and unbecom-

You will notice that since women
began to discard one petticoat after
another and appear finally in the scan

deal of the outward respect and consid-

WHAT DID MOTHER SAYY

The kitchen was deserted. Through
the western window the last red RAYS
OF the setting sun poured into the
room, making all the commonplace
things crimson and fearful Great. lurid
stains lay on the floor and dyed the
window blinds.
On the hearthstopa Law a Ratchet
with ominous red stains on it. The
moor near by was vivid with a grea
scarlet splodge. The very air seemed
to culver with horrid mystery.
Slowly the door opened. and a girl
entered, sallow Of face and stealthy of
tread. Her long red hair was gathered
In careless, untidy knot. She stood
a while, bathed in the lurid light from
the window, her eyes fixed convulsive-
ly on the hideous Ratchet and the tell
tale stain on the floor. Then shud-
der ran through her slender frame, and
she despairingly threw her hands aIoft
"What-oh, what will mother saw"
she gasped. Won't she be furious
when she finds out that tried to open
the tin OF tomatoes with the choppers"

At the notion counter the Suffragette
borrowed thirteen cents of Daysey
Mayme to pay for a writing pad on
which to note down Reasons Why. and
the Frivolous one borrowed two cents
of the Meek one, and eleven cents from
Daysey Mayme to buy box of pink
powder, all of which borrowing was
done to avoid the long wait for change.
At the luncheon hour, Daysey Maymc
traded her fifteen cent pudding for the
Frivolous Ones ten cent ice cream. and
the Suffragette found. by borrowing two
cents from Daysey Mayme and a penny
from the Frivolous One. that she had
change to pay the Meek One for her
share OF the first carfare
During the day it was necessary to
pay three additional carfarcs. and the
Suffragette was the banker on the frs
occasion. and Daysey Mayme, the Friv-
olous One and the Meek one uniteu
their resources to pay the remaining
fares.
There were two visits 10 soda foun-
tains. which resulted in Daysey Mayme
owing the Frivolous One seven cents
more. the Meek One two cents less and
increased the debt of the Suffragette to
her to thirty seven cents.
IF you count the stamp | paid the
Frivolous one which you owed her and
