Where She Fails

Of course, woman's rights failure il woman
doesn't avail herself of her rights This is partcu-
ary true of those rights which come to her through
politics. for profane history since she took Adam by
the ears and made him eat that apple core is repete
with demonstrations that she'll take her other rights
good and proper.
We instance notable failure OF political empow-
cred woman to seize upon her rights that has just
been disclosed at the California city of DAILY where
at Miss Clara A. Jess is duly inaugurated and IN
stalled as recorder Mr.. Ed. f. Masters OF San Fran
CISCO and Miss Lorraine A. Bander of Oakland, APP
peared before Recorder Clara to plunge into the
marital state take the matrimonial risk, shake dice
with Cupid buck up against the double-harness
game, etc. Elsewhere they may refer to it as the
connubal bliss the blessed union of two hearts that
beat as one happy contamination of the divine eff
flata and such like, but round about Frisco and
Oakland they figure closer on the uncertain posi-
bilites and keep eye cooked on the everlasting
gamble in the hymeneal matter.
Well Miss Clara pronounced Ed. and Lorraine
man and wife proper and plenty, and then came
most embarrassing pause. 1t was time for the of
Hcial officiating to kiss the bridegroom We don't
know whether Ed IS quicker was repulsive, wheth-
er Miss Lorraine eyes looked daggers. Anyhow,
Miss Recorder Clara deliberately abandoned right
which has always been conscientiously claimed by
gentlemen officials whenever the bride wasn't too
much off-color or handn't too heavy a mustache.
Verify, this instance Of official woman s miserable
failure to exercise her right is not only dscouragng
to the suffrage cause but it also must have its eff
feet on that divine institution called marriage.
