century historians did not hesitate to say
she was poisoned in order to prevent her

While Henry wrote her the most af-

that everything was as roseate as it might
have been. Henry was very jealous Of
his rivals. you know the resolution l

plain any more. And now I'll make an
other-not to be cross any more" He
was not always so docile, though: "If l

not have seen you again-I should have
browen with you then and there. There

very troublesome-that of your subject is

love me a thousand times more than L
love you. You have lied, and you shall
maintain your lie with the arms which
you have chosen. 1 shall not see you
again for 10 days. 1t is enough to kill me.

more reason to be afraid of my loving you
too muc hthan too little. That fault
pleases you-and me, too, since you like
it. See how I yield to your every wish!
Don't deserve to be loved? And think
you love me, and so, with happy heart.

and Personal Mention-A Announcements
BY MYRTLE MILES

News of the resignation of Mrs. Ella
Flagg Young has been food for discussion
in every state. In regard to the matter
the Womans Journal has the following:
1.-THE resignation OF Mrs. ella Flagg
Young from the position of superintendent
of the public schools of Chicago comes at
a dramatic moment. The nation had hard
ly stopped talking about the first women
voters east of the Mississippi when the
women were called upon to exercise their
new rights and vote in such numbers and
with such wisdom as to prove conclusive
ly-and while the world looked on-that
women everywhere should be enfran-
chised. Now comes the challenge TO the
new voters to prove what vote is worth
in a crisis.
1T taxes the imagination to eonjure up
q more compelling case and a more dra-
matte setting. Mrs. Young has been su-
perintendent of the public schools of Chi
cago, at salary of $4,000, since 1909 In
1910 she was elected president of the Ma
tional Educational association. She Is
considered the most able superintendent
of public instruction in the country. In
four years she has brought order out of
chaos, organization out of disorganization
and harmony out of discord in the public
school system of the second city in the
United States, according to Dean Sumner
and she has the love and respect of 1000
teachers and principals and the confidence
Of the public at large.
The women of Chicago can vote for
mayor; the mayor appoints the school
board and the school board has made it
impossible for Mrs. Young to remain su-
perintendent and either render the best
service to the schools or keep her own
self respect The women are, therefore,
aroused, and in a body demand that Mrs.
Young be retained and that the political
intrigue which has hampered her be elimi-
mated. Since even the most anti-feminis-
tic agree that women have a right to
vote on educational matters and have Pc
culiar fitness, wisdom and experience in
school matters, Mrs. Young's resignation
is clearly case for the women
