Ancient Advocates Of SUFFRAGE

In casting about fer original ideas
and suggestions for the many floats
which formed the principal feature OF
their parade on the last day Of May,
the Just Government league members
discovered that even in Biblical times
there We're advocates OF the suffrage
movement. As a result. three Bible
celebrities were represented in the
pageant. They were Miriam, the sis
ter of Moses, and Deborah and Hulda,
the lsraelite judges, These three we're
gorgeously arrayed in garments be-
fitting their time and occupied one Of
the most elaborate floats in the
pageant.
Madam i, Won Il Mountford, resi-
dent Of Jerusalem, lecturer on Bible
lands and an authority on the correct
dress for the ancient days, gave the
benefit Of her knowledge for the pur.
pose of making the biblical float and
figures true to legendary times.
Miriam, the sister Of Moses. was pre-.
scented as the woman who led the
woman's parade across the Red sea,
The banner Of Deborah showed her
as leader of tho armies of Israel and
Hulda was suggested as a teacher and

STRENUOUS IN HIS WoOING
Modern Lover Could Net Use the
Method Employed by William
the Conqueror.

A modern lover who resorted to
brute force to win his lady would soon
find himself in the street, if not in the
police station. But fashions in pro-
posals have changed In 1000 years,
and when William the Conqueror set
out to make Matilda, daughter of the
count of Flanders, the happiest of
maidens, he adopted measures that
were forcible, to say the least.
The sutton Matilda had she did not
want, and the man she wished to WOO
her she could not get. The man she
did not want happened to be William,
duke of Normandy, and he decided to
go to Bruges and conquer Matilda
There were no national roads
through France in those days, and
William doubtless had a hard trip.
Perhaps Matilda noticed the mud on
his clothes when she came out of
church and found him waiting for her
At any rate, William descended from
his horse and, taking Matilda firmly by
the back of the neck, rolled her over
and over in the mire of Bruges, plant.
ing we'll directed blows upon her royal
face and body with his other hand
Life was elemental a thousand years
ago.
This strenuous love-making some
how appealed to Matilda. Perhaps IL
was what she would have liked to dc
to Brihtric the gentleman she could
not get, who was only the English am
bassador at her fathers court, and not
at all proper person to be snubbine
a princess So Matilda sent word tc
her father that. sick in health and
dolorous in body she had firmly re
solved to marry no man but Duke
William
Later, after William had conquered
England, he offered his queen the es
tates of any English nobleman she
might name. Matilda did not have tc
think twice She not only chose Birth
tries estates, but she put him IN prls
on and kept him there all the rest Of
his life.
