A Cardinals Duty

AS for the duties of modern cardinal,
if he resides in Rome he graces the pope's
encourage, assists the holy father at great
litursical ceremonies and Is his official
helper and counsellor in the government
of the church. In consistory or assem-
blage Of the cardinals about the pope he
may confer with them on such matters as
the naming Of new cardinals, the appoint
ment Of bishops, the conclusion of con-
cordats, the choice Of nuncios and like
questions. But private consistories are
not frequent nowadays, so a cardinals
chief share in the government of the
church is that Of presiding over the vari-
GUS congregations which have been es-
tablished for the despatch of different
kinds Of ecclesiastical business. These
courts, set up or remodelled by Pope
SiXtus V in the sixteenth century, were
completely rcorganized and adapted to
modern conditions by the present poutiff
Cardinals in Rome also attend Of course
public consistories at which the pope con-
fers red hats, brings TO a conclusion a
process Of canonization, receives ann
baEsad0rs, etc. Gut bishops and other
prelatcs may assist at such consistorles.

Women Should Pop the Question
BY DOROTHY DIX.

they could get instead OF the men they
wanted, and they are revengmg their dis
appointment ana chagrin on their hapless
husbands
Strangely enough, although they would
be largely benefited by giving women the
right to propose, man, especially Anglo
Saxon men, view the idea with horror.
They seem to think that it would be a
torturing experience TO have a woman
ask their hands in marriage. This is an
error. To be made love to by pretty
girl is quite a delightful experience. Well,
rather!
Men also seem to fear that If women
pop the question they would have no
change whatever to escape matrimnoy,
and that they would lack the nerve to re-
fuse to be hers when lady asked him,
no matter how little they might fancy
the fair suitoress. This is also a mis-
take Men don't hesitate to say NO"
good and hard to the woman who tries
to borrow money of them or who presents
to them a go.d-brlck business proposition,
so why should they be shy about de-
clining to go with her to the altar unless
they so desire?
OF course, the one tangible objection
heretofore to women's proposing was the
feminine lack of money. a lady couldn't
very well ask a man TO assume her board
bill for life, but now SO many women have
money of their own and so many more
have good jobs that enable them to be
financially independent that that obstacle
mas been practically removed.
There are those who contend that it
would be horrid, bold thing for
woman TO go frankly up to man and
tell him that she loves him and would
like to marry him and that she was salts
fled that she could make him happy, but,
rightly viewed, would not such proceed
ing be infinitely more modest than the
underhanded means a woman now has to
lake TO catch a mans attention and lead
him on through chicanery and deceit up
the proposing point?
Give women the right to propose and
every wife will be breaking her neck try
ing to please her husband, and there Will
be no more unhappy homes.

Too chilly, cheerful chic, or chattery.

You do not scorn a naughty play.

How can you have the wild temerity
TO be so rich In lovelness?
How does this blindness come to be?

New diatribes 'gainst your rascality?
