woman doesn't like it, and not liking

1t isn't question of the peculiar con-
struction Of the feminine mind. You
won't find me saying that women can
understand fully anything they choose to
understand. But when it comes to poll
tics the majority of them are simply in

Mrs. Underwood is as familiar with the
tariff as the average woman is with the
fall fashions, nor is it too much to say
that she has loved her husbands work
in Congress as he has loved it.
Few women are better fitted to grace
high position than is Mrs. Underwood
She is highly accomplished, having a
mezzo soprano voice of unusual beauty.
She cultivated her voice under eminent
teachers in Paris during her early girl
hood and continues her vocal study in
Washington. In books her taste tends
to the psychological and the philosophi-
cal. In the matter of clothes her gowns
a:e always characterized by great SIM
plicity, but it is that simplicity which
only the smartest Of modistes can
achieve. Widely Travelled. she has the
culture OF the cosmopolitc. but she has

Last year Mr.. and Mrs Underwood pur-
chased home in Washington. 1t was
the house formerly owned by Mai. Archi-
bald Butt. Mrs. Underwood has spent
every congressional season in Washing
ton since her marriage nine years ago.
Also. she is real ''standpatter" when it
comes to remaining at the capital during

Human Nature in Street Cars.
Cincinnati TiInes-Star.

From the Cincinnati Iimes-Star.
Two able bodied men in middle life
held a long argument in a Walnut Hills
car the other day as to which should &C.
cupy the only remaining seat. The
courtesy of each man toward the other
was most punctilious. The older of the
two finally yielded and was about to sit
down when he noticed a woman standing
behind him. He moved aside in her be-
half when the other man pushed his
friend into the seat. saying, She's prob
aoiy been to u matinee all the afternoon.
and isn't entitled to 4 seat" That point
of view prevailed.
Across the aisle sat three husky high
school lads. They were not tired, and
were not i'll. They saw the woman
standing in front of them, and by COM
standing They simply did not UNDER
stand why on earth they should get up.
II there was no excuse for the selfish
behavior of the boys there was still less
for that of the men. for they were
trained and disciplined during a time
when courtesy toward women was more
insisted upon and observed than now.
They belonged to an age Of "Old-fash-
ioped poiiteness," but they seemed to
have outxrown II or thrown 1t aside.
There is little justification for their de-
uberate discourtesy. The only value
their churlishness has is to show to the
average man how petty he appears to
others when he deliberately makes a
choice between good and bad manners.
and selects the latter. AS for the boys,
they probably reelected the prevalent
lack of home training. When eugenics
are taught in the schools. it might not be
