Whatever may be the argument in dis favor of woman suffrage. 1t has brought about splendid friendship among women, drawing them together in unselfish work for a common cause. At recent meeting in the rooms of the Equal Suffrage so- cety Mrs. w. Holden Weeks expressed It in droll though extravagant way. writes an ardent advocate of the cause "In the old days, she said, women had but one life job, and that was marriage. Does the banker say Go across to the other bank on the corner. That is a far better bank than miner Oh, no! And in the old days when women were competitors for one life job, they couldn't afford to extol each other Now, however, they can. Their lives are rich with interests and opportunities" Some among the onlookers thought of this better condition when they saw the Rev. Anna Howard Shaw enter Carnegie hall, as the paradd's marched in last Saturday. How the women love herl She now has tremendous popularity in New York. Watching her triumph, with the cheers and the waving of flags, there were those who decided they would rather be a Rev Mrs. Shaw with the love of legion of her own sex, than say "a gor- geous Lady Blessington," with the love of the men, but the jealousy of feminine acquantances far and wide.

MISS JEAN GORDON
 LEAGUE SECRETARY

The Survey magazine mentions Miss Jean Gordon in the current issue, referring to her new duties as secretary of the Ma tional Consumers league for the southern states. Miss Gordon is an honorary mem- Der of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage league and has spoken on four occasioAs to local audiences. among whom she has many personal friends. Her interest in factory inspection took her last spring to, the T. c. l. camp at Edgewater. and she was delighted with this first view of the mining camps in the vicinity. Miss Gordon will return to Birmingham this fall for a visit. The Survey says of Miss Gordon: . Jean Gordon, formerly factory inspector and now honorary factory inspector of the city of New Orleans, has entered upon the duties of secretary for the southern states of the National Consumers league. Some years ago Miss Gordon, aided by the Era club of New orleans, and number of in- fuential men, succeeded in having the con- stitution of Louisiana amended so that a woman could hold the office of factory Inspector in the parish of Orleans, whicn Is identical with the city of New Or leans The legislature then passed a bill regulating the work of women and chill dren and creating the office of inspector. of factories for that parish. Miss Gordon was immediately appointed to the new of-
 
 when she resigned and became honorary inspector without salary.
 It Is largely in consequence of Miss Cor don's exertions that women in New Or leans now enpoy the benefits of law re- stricting their working hours to 10 in one day and GO in one week, and that chil- dren under 16 years of age ars banished rom the stage; that children in other occupations are free from work at night and have the protection of a statute which compares we'll with the best in the north except in two particulars: Louisiana does not yet give her children the blessing of an eight hour day or an educational re- quirement.
 Since entering her new field of activity MISS Gordon has presided at the confer- ence on the labor of women and children at Chattanooga, Tenn, and reports the formation of consumers league in that city at the close of the conference. Irnder her guidance committees of women stu dents of Sophie Newcomb college (which bears the same relation to Tulane that Barnard bears to Columbia), have under taken practical work in relation to indus trial conditions in their city They are the first students south of Maryland to do this.

NEW DESIGN FOR
 FIVE CENT PIECES

Washington July 1.-The executive order changing the design of the United States cent pieces probably will be issued by President Taft within few weeks.
 J. w. Frazer, the New York artist who Is working out the design, con ferred with Secretary MacVeagh and George E. Roberts, director of the mint. today regarding details of the new coin which will be completed shortly for submission to the Presi- dent for approval
 The figure of a buffalo has been se- lected for the nickels face to displace the goddess of liberty because, 1t is explained, the buffalo is peculiarly an American animal The goddess of lib- erty is on several other United States coins. The thought of the buffalo sug- gests the Indian and for that reason an artistic head of a red man will adorr the reverse side of the coin.

THE "HONEYMOON-ERS'

 ''To deduce things by your test" Polly replied that must be the place where homesickness overtakes-EvER BODY
 Look at thisl' said he, handing her post card with picture of Horseshoe Falls on it. Listen to this:
 Wish you were with usl Wonderful place. Having a glorious time.
 'Well?" Polly interrogated
 Translate that any way you like, but I know they've reached the stage when three wouldn't be a crowd, but pow erfully welcome addition. There's such thing as talking oneself out, even on Honeymoon. If you'll notice, you'll find that the ones who married in June usu- ally start to sending Post Cards and let ters back, telling how happy they are, about the second week in July. When they take time to write letters, inclosing pressed flowers, then 1 know the Honey moon is waning rapidly I know that the next train will be bringing them home that the Honeymoon has wasted away, and"
 "When I get married" Polly declared irrately, I'm going to remember every single, blessed word you've said a1d never send you a scratch of s> pen" | "Of course you won't send me even line" the Crusty Old Bachelor ac- 1 quiesced, If you are as dead in love with your husband as think you would HAVE l to be to get married"
 I'm not going to send you line, any, way" she went on saying peremptorily. "The first business of a perfectly good married woman. the Old Bachelor went on teasingly, lis to give an imitation to the world of a woman who is supremely interested In her husband"
 Even if wished you were with us on our Honeymoon" Polly broke into the conversation, T wouldn't send you line telling you so. to save your life"
 But they HAVE to write to somebody the CONTEMPORARIES man said meanly. ''All of them do 1t sooner or later, so why not write to me? I'll do as we'll as anybody else, won't I? They've got to get 1t out of their system, and I seem to be pretty good escape valve"
 T shall never write to ANYBODY, least Of all. to YOU,'' Polly still insisted.
 Not unless you go to Niagara Falls," the Crusty Old Bachelor came back at her once more. There's really nothing else to do if one happens to go there. Now. Honest Injun, won't you send me at least ONE post card, saving you wish I was with you?"

 Hadn't thought of it--no,''N drawled Polly. wondering what he was going to say next.

 The drinking cups to be used at the punch bowl this afternoon are furnished by the Jefferson County Savings bank. The dispensary is a cool, restful sort of place. Wonders were worked by little paint and much cleaning, for the rooms when they were securf for the purpose appeared impossible. One cannot fancy the germ with temerity to remain an in stant in such a place. It is trifle bare, of course. and that Is we'll as long as the necessities are there, though one fancies that few ferns and few cheerful pic- lures would be ve~- gratefully received and be messengers of good cheer which would greatly help. However, it Is a place in which great deal of suffering
 will be alleviated and much comfort given.
