Disadvantages of Suffrage.

Il. II is very hard on the teeth.
A real suffragette has to gnash her
teeth at you to convince you The
majority of them have to get new
upper plates every three months
-. If you read Lillian Russell's s
article where she reveals beauty's

preserve youthful appearance you
must cover the cheeks with cold
cream and rub up. Now, it's a
sheer waste of cold cream and of

a suffragette audience. Most of
them look as If they had taken eton

-. Its ruinous to the figure!
They all sit back with such virtuous
expressions with their hands folded
over their equators and an I've got
34-inch waist, and | don't care

Now, I'm getting one, but | do care!
.. Suffragettes get to be Chron-
ic kickers! They get into such a
habit of wanting to change the ex-
listing order of things that they get
to wanting double trading stamps
morning and afternoon, and they
want every day to be Glover day.
&c. They show such nasty
spirit toward their fellow-woman ere
atures, especially the pretty ones.
| When they see pretty one. they
look her over and then quoting Rose
Stahl. they say: Yes, she's all right

looking, you're through.

and it met with instant approval
from the senator. He suggested
however, that the idea of number ing
the homes be added to the projected
scheme on basis of 100 numbers to
the mile.
If this suggestion is carried out the
