TWO women, both widows,
were talking of life, mother
hood, and their ideals of duty.
one woman was something past
forty; she had been a wife at twen-
ty; and her children were growing
into the romantic age. She was
contemplating d second marriage
with a good man. The other wom-
an was older past the half century
mark; and her children were all
married
She rebuked the younger woman
for her thought of conserving to
second marriage.
'"You have a comfortable income"
she said, and your children ought
to fill your life so that no such
foolish idea as a second marriage
could enter your mind. l was a
widow at thirty; and now l am
fifty three; and l am thankful to
say ] am satisfied to be my chill
dren's mother. and not their step

But" replied the younger wom-
an with some spirit. ct do not see
that your example is one which
would make other women eager to
follow it."
And pray why not?"
Because you are a very lonely
woman; your children are married
and have homes of their own; they
may love you devotedly, and be
kind and all that; but the fact re-
mains, they do not need you to
make their lives complete.
'They do not need you in their
homes, and you must feel yourself
a guest when you visit them; it is
in the nature of things, A new in
dividuality has come into their lives
The son has his wife, and the
daughter her husband; and if they
go away on a journey they would
find more pleasure to be with each
other than with a third party.
Now, l have two young children
who will soon be marrying; and

~ and appreciation of the sanctity
of the ballot under tempting condi-
tons to become selishly partisan, 1
don't know of it.
The third point of interest to
women in the election is that it af-
fords them a visible illustration of
the different political status Of
women with the ballot and women
without the ballot
All Parties Wanted Work.
Heretofore, so far as a presiden-
tial campaign has been concerned,
women have cut just about as much
real figure in politics as a snow
flake is supposed to cut in the
region Of perpetual summer. Cam
paign orators were content to
throw them a few bouquets of
compliments, and to say something
nice and hattering about women
using their great silent influence
in politics, And that ended it.
But with the women voting in six
states and holding the balance of
power, and with women about to
vote in many other states and
keenly interested everywhere in
politics, there was no talk about
womans silent influence. All three
of the big parties urged women to
use their voices in their behalf
and to roll up their sleeves and help
with the actual political work.
Woman without the ballot was a
cipher that no one thought Of con-
sdering. Woman with the ballot
is q mighty power that has to be
reckoned with and conciIiated. The
granting of the franchise to wom-
