THE DIARY OF A BoNEHEAD
"I don't believe In women's suf-
frage, and that's all there is to it."

rather lively family Jar. Il don't be-

don't care whether women vote or
not, but it was an evening for argu-

Can you explain the Presidents
currency measure to me?" she asked
sweetly, just as though nothing at
all had happened.
Certainly" 1 replied. THE Presi-

to ask you whether the Underwood
bill will put buttons on the free list

| THAT is easily explained" said I.
"Of course, one can't keep all of those
details in his mind. l will look the
matter over tomorrow"
"How about the duty on whalebone
and the duty on ginseng products and
how about wool, sugar and licorice?"
We'll, 1t is this way. about those
articles. You see-you see, it is just
this way"
II hesitated and she started in and
explained to me the currency bill
from the ground up to the topmost
peak. She explained the banking
system and told of coinage for one
hour and a half.
Just to inform you," she said, 81

She told me how many mousetraps
were manufactured in this country
every year and how many are manu-

and Peru. At o'clock in the morn

argument.
She went upstairs and just before
she slammed the door she said: And
still you say the women don't know
enough to vote. Think it over Good

There is no use in arguing with a
woman, especially If she is your wife.
Convince a woman against her will
and she Is of the same opinion still.

nous a generation earlier as the create
At this wedding there happened to
be a beautiful German princess
named Helen of Waldeck and no
sooner had the king beheld her than
his old heart began to flutter and he
had to admit to himself that he was
in love. He proposed to marry the
beautiful charmer-but, wonder of
wonders, the young woman would
have none of him. She was even
amazed that so old a man would
presume to think of her as his wife.
But Helen had a sister, younger and
not so beautiful. She was little
brunette and looked like a healthy
German peasant girl. She heard of
her sisters refusal of the old king
and went to her and said, az should
never refuse to be queen.''
Fortunately for her the old mon
arch heard this speech--or possibly
someone who heard 1t carried 1t to
his ears-and 1t was an easy matter
for him to transfer his wounded
feelings from one sister to the other.
This young princess, then only TWEEN
ty-one years old, was Queen Emma,
who today celebrates her fifty-fifth
birthday, the mother of Queen Will
helmina, and the grandmother of the
little four year-old Juliana who will
some day, no doubt, succeed to the
throne of her ancestors.
