By DOROTHY DIX.

Once upon a time there was a Man
who thought that Husband and Wife
should be Two Souls with but a single
Thought. and that He should be It He
was one OF those Chesty Fellows who
are always Conspicuous on Public 0cea-
sions, and who go about wearing SIX
Lid and with a Diamond HEADLIGHT on
their Fronts, while their Wives stay ut
Home and Walk the Collie.
The Man was not at all a Bad Crca-
ture, but he was full of Theories about
Womsn's Sacred Sphere. and he opined
that q Wife's Sacred Duty was to per-
form on the Cook Stove, and that a
Mother should md her Highest Happi-
ness in Watching Little Johnnie cut a
Tooth.
He also thought that the Purity of
the Feminine Mine should not be Con-
tanimated by the World. so he never
blew his Wife to a Theater Ticket nor
took her out in Society. Likewise, he
said Women should be shielded from
Sordid Commercial Affairs. and so he
Doled out the Housekeeping Money by
the Nickel, and his Wife had to Chioro-
form him before abe could get the Price
of q new Frock out of him.
Lost Her Good Looks.
Now, no Female Creature can live up
10 q Mans Ideal Of a Wife's Mission
without getting so meek and Worn that
her Ears hang down, and SO the Lady in
Question lost her Good Looks and became
so Discouraged that she did not take the
Trouble to Fix up any more.
The Man himself was Gay and Bril-
liant Figure among the Married Bach
elors, who pitted him greatly when they
observed what a Faded piece of Calico
he was tied up with. and they communed
with each other after this fashion:
Alas they cried, "how sad for such a
Man TO be Married to such q Woman.
He is all Wit and Spirit while she has
not Enough Ginger In her to make her
Pompadour stand up Stif. No wonder

her:

WOMAN'S WELFARE FROM THE
ANTLSUFFRAGE VIEWPOINT

Miss Margaret c. Cummings, principal
OF one OF the public school vacation CEN
tiers OF New York. recently spoke before
the National League for the Civic Edu-
cation of Women on the dance hall prob
lem, which she has done so much TO
solve. She said: ..suffragists wonder
why I am opposed to votes for women.
/ say that we women had better straight
en- out our own affairs before We try
to straighten mems"
Senator Travis. or the New YORK state
Legislature. voiced the feeling OF a ma
jority OF the members when he frankly
stated on the floor OF the senate that
while he was willing TO vote for the ad-
vancement OF the bill for the enfran-
chisement OF women. he would have to
be shown good and strong that there
was a greater demand for It than had so
far been made apparent
Sir Edward Clarke. K. c.. great legal
authority in England. has given to the
London Times his opinion regarding the
recent suffragette riots. He holds that
London can be prosecuted under the
malicious damage act. Miss Mollie
Elliot SeaweI has called attention I'm
the Richmond Times-Dispatch to the fact
that conviction on such a charge would
effectually prevent any suffragtst con-
cerned in these riots from landing in
America. The immigration laws strictly
prohibit any person convicted OF a felony
from entering the country. and any
one attemptig to do so may be de-
ported.
The anti-suffrage mass meeting in
Albert Hall in London was very large
and most enthusiastic. The hall, which
seats 1000. was thronged. and on the
platform and among the speakers were
some Of England's foremost statesmen.
Lord Cromer presided. and addresses
were made by the lord chancellor, Lord
Curzon: Mr.. Harcourt. and Lord Lands
downe. Miss Violet Markham was the
only woman speaker. and It is said that
her speech was one of the ablest and
most logical ever heard there. She used
scathing language in regard to the COM
paratively little use women make OF the
municipal franchise. and spoke OF their
characteristic unwillingness to do the
laborious and monotonous work of
''stuffy board rooms She mentioned
that there were only a very few women
on town and county councils. and no
fewer than ~ boards OF guardians with
out a woman on them. She charged
suffragists with claiming the parlia-
mentary franchise while neglecting TO
use those opportunities for social anchor
alton which they already possess.
Sir Gilbert Parker. in a recent inter-
view, declared himself opposed TO wo-
men suffrage. on the ground that all gov
ernment exists by force, and that as
man Is the "engine of force" he is en-
titled TO rule. He holds that when wo-
men vote they are logically entitled to
be Representatives and Senators.

to the players, such as elephant. snail,

Sometimes as many as twenty cards
