Lest We forget however, that the best
sellers are sold to women. IL is cheering
after all this heavy intellectual display
10 be told that Dr. Anna Howard Shaw,
leader of the suffrage cause in the

There is only one thing against which
the suffrage leaders really draw the line
that is the suffrage article.

SUFFRAGE READING.

II is quite true that the leaders OF the
suffrage movement display elaborate in
difference 10 the printed words Of wisdom
intended by up-to-date publishers for
their particular consumption Their in
difference is easily understood. however.
when one remembers the length OF time il
takes an idea 10 percolate from the CEN
tres Of thought 10 the realm OF estab-
lished literature. 10 say nothing of the
time consumed In the mechanical proc
osses OF making up and publishing a mag
azine. Women who live and think OF
nothing but the feminist movement find II
pretty tame reading TO sit down 10 a vol
urne OF their own ideas second hand from
the pen OF some well meaning bat unn-
spired male writer II 10 this the objec
ton be raised that these articles are often
written by famous feminists themselves.
the reply is that TO that extent they arc
more interesting than articles written by
outsiders, but. even so since the circle OF
real leaders is small. all the members are
usually perfectly familiar with the ideas
% the others and probably have heard
them expounded hot from the heart long
before they ever saw print.
