guished man who said only damned
fools vote. and he is a high state Off
cial.
Il am willing to let all the women
do all the voting and let the men tell
them how to do it. Is there any suf-
fragette in the world who would not
give up her principles for a nice man!
In Great Britain there are about l.
100000 women who have no men and
they are rather desperate. AS soon as
every woman has a man, the women
get to be very peaceful. do not blame
the women for getting mad. They
ought to tear down all England. But
voting will not get them husbands and
they will be as bad of as ever.
81 feel both jolly and bully about the
subject of equal suffrage. But we GER
tainly do not want to bring any new
source Of discord into the household.
The political result would be the
same with all women voting) in this
country The women would say Let
father attend to this matter; it bothers
our little heads too much
The English suffragettes who are
committing crimes would be locked up
here. The men, whether policemen.
judges or jurymen, do not like to hurt
the women, and that is the weak point
in the case"
The mayor said that he was quite
willing to classify himself as a suf-
fragist.

Let the Youngsters Romp.

When playing with children remem-
Der that a good romp is excellent for
them. and that noise is seldom harm
full unless the little ones are hyper
sensitive to impressions, and apt to
get over-excited. Let them play what
games they like, and plenty OF them.
Their games have a way of merging
automatically into each other as soon
as they begin to pail. You may be
sure that the children will not play a
game any longer than they want to do.
Children are almost as fond of make
believes as their elders are, and if
they want to dress up do not prevent
them. When they have taken the trou-
BILE to don weird raiment, help them to
sustain their Illusion.
