A Case of
Wonan's Rights:
Involving a Case In the
Courts
Bv MARTHA v. MONROE

Margaret Elwood was a new woman
In every sense Of that term. She be-
reyed In the ability of woman to do
ANYTHING that a man can do, but ad-
mitted that since woman had been
kept in a subordinate position from
time immemorial she needed time
and opportunity to develop any par
ticular faculty. "a muscle she ar
gued. "becomes fabby and weak from
iisuse. Exercise it and 1t becomes
hard and strong
But Miss Elwood believed in the
home and the family. She recognized
that If was womans mission to bear
children, but she denied that this was
all of woman's mission.
Edmond Blair was equally liberal
minded. He was fine man and II ne
married would require fine woman
for his wife What he meant oy
fine woman was not SNOWY woman,
but one with head on her shoulders.
one who could think out a problem IN
everyday life and execute it. He had
no use for what Is commonly called
"smart" woman.
These two met and were mutually
pleased with each other. Miss Elwood
admired Mr.. Blair's reasonable way OF
looking upon subjects. He was
LAWYER by profession and used to es-
tablishing his points before insisting
upon them. He knew the difference
between a proved fact and a dictum.
He was the first man Miss Elwood had
ever met who accorded thoroughly
with her views of the proper sphere
for woman. They became engaged.
So far as reason. judgment and fore
sight go, never did couple become
engaged with better prospects for hap
piness. Nevertheless. that they might
take a proper precaution against max
ing a mistake. they agreed to put OF
their marriage for one year.
Everybody. as soon as the engage
ment was announced, remarked that
it was an excellent match. Persons
who were noted for caution and fore
thought said that If marriages were
| always made up in that way there
would be no divorce There was but
one person who predicted that the
match would be a failure. That was
| the lady's' father He had been at the
head Of large manufacturing plant
| for thirty years and during his incum-
bency had been one man power He
| declared that his daughter and her
| fiance were each quite capable Of lead
| ing in any enterprise. He saw nothing
more feasible in two heads to family
! than two heads to his business
1t was not to be expected that a
| man whose Judgment had for three
successive decades been warped by
ruling small army of EMPLOYEES

Sentient Alarm Clocks.

"Devil dogs" are species Of alarm
clock used in Greece for the purpose of
keeping persons awake, such as watch
men, stage drivers and railroad men.
They are generally small black dogs.
Should the person whom the devil
dog is detailed to keep awake be a
stage driver, the dog is strapped to a
little stool beside him, and throughout
the journey he keeps up sharp bark
ing, often causing the passengers to
keep awake as well as the driver.
At times he will pause for minute
or two to moisten his parched, rasped
throat at the basin of water set before
him and then begin again.

The Foot of the Reindeer.

The foot of the reindeer is most Pc
culiar in construction. 1t is cloven
through the middle, and each half
curved upward in front. 1t Is slightly
elongated and capable of consider
able amount of expansion. When
glazed on an irregular surface which
Is difficult to traverse, the animal con-
tracts the feet into sort of claw by
which a firm hold is secured. When
moving rapidly the two portions of the
foot as it is lifting strike together, the
hoofs making a continuous gathering
noise, which may be heard at consid-
cradle distance. 1t is this popularity
Of the feet that makes the reindeer so
sure footed and so valuable in rocky
and uneven country, where almost any
other ANIMAL would prove failure as

Daniel and Mary Longman had been
married ten years and had no children.
Mary especially longed for a child,
and largely on her account Daniel
wished for one too. One evening just

1rVuIu ISse an UNBIASED view or cir

opinion. He did not attempt to en-
force it. When an old friend twitted
him by reminding him that democratic
principles cannot find favor in a des
pot he replied. ''If l am a despot my
daughter is quite likely to be one
through heredity."
One day Miss Elwood called at the
Office of her fiance and, being admitted

DISPLAY OF DAHLIAS.
BIackistone's Exhibition of Fall
Flowers Attracts Attention.

Flowers Attracts Attention
The floral establishment Of z. D. Black
istone, at Fourteenth and H Streets, is
proving a place of special interest this
week because Of the, dahlia exhibition,
now being held.
This is an annual event with the firm,
and it is claimed that this years display
is more attractive in every way than
any previous exhibition.
Modern horticulture has at last brought
the dahlia into its own, and the flower
that was once relegated to the back
ground in the garden and was never
heard of for bouquet use is now enjoying
great vogue.
BlaCkistOne's specimens show TO what
perfection the flower has been developed.
and the range of luXuriant colOrs is more
varied, il is asserted. than that of any
other plant cultivated. The store pre-
sents a riot of gorgeous hues. ana many
of the dahlias rival the giant chrysanthe-
NUNS in briIliance and size.
To the number OF Washington amateur
growers, who have collections of dahlias.
this exhibition is especially interesting,
as many of the varieties displayed are
particularly adapted for planting in this
climate.
The exhibition will end Saturday even
ing. at which time the dahlias not dis
posed of will be sent 10 local hospitals,
or given to anyone applying for the bene-
1T of their Ill or invalid friends.

Point of view is not to be interpreted as
any prejudice whatever on their part

valuable institution. More perhaps than
any other women do they respect its
traditions and honor its essentially lofty

The reed OF these women is the modern

What they do believe is that their dauEh-
tiers shohld be so trained and educated
that their supreme happiness will be
found in living the normal. wholesome
life Of a healthy. rational human being.
These women repudiate that oft quoted
bit Of early Victorian sentimentally, for
which the late Mrs Browning must be
held responsible:
