Tracing Rhymes

T hope you will not be made sorry for offering to locate quotations and to settle mooted questions that bob up serenely and sometimes stormily with us young folks Here are several we cannot agree upon Some we are utterly at a loss about We are summering at the sea- shore and naturally quotations about the sea are spouted at all times and sea- sons.
 Time writes no wrinkles on thy azure Such as Creations dawn beheld, thou
 rollest now?
 An thou. vast ocean. on whose awful
 face
 Times iron feet can paint no ruin-trace. ] The wrinkled sea beneath thee crawls He laid his hand upon the oceans mane And played familiar with his hoary locks. All dark and barren as ralny sea.
 q hope I am not imposing upon your good nature in asking for so many names. The five are but few of the rhymes rolled out from the throats of sopho- mores and seniors on moonlight nights from the cliffs above old ocean,

 In Pollock's Course of Time we have, in the celebrated tribute to Byron: He laid his hand upon the oceans mane and played familiar with his hoary locks"

Character and Reputatiop

What is the difference between char acter' and 'reputation?' I contend that the words are synonyms. My husband does not think so, but ne cant define the difference. l said today, That mau has a fine character, if we may believe what his neighbors say. My husband anI swered, You mean he has a fine repu-l tation That's the way the argument began The only point upon which we agreed was when it vas decided to refer the question to the Corner. l shall watch { 1t for an answer and l fancy many read- CTS are as uncertain as to the difference between the two words as we are
 MRS. l. c. D.
 The words are so often used as inter- ehangeable, even by educated speakers and writers, it is no wonder that you cannot rightly define them. | know of no more concise and pertinent discrimination between the two than that given by Thomas Paine, author of The Rights of Man. Reputation is what men and women think of us. Character is what God and the angels know of us'' In brief, character is what we are. Repu- tation is what we are said to be.

The following article appears in re- cent issue of The Suffragist:
 We have grown accustomed to hear ing the existence of war and woman's supposed uselessness at such a time ad- duced as a final argument against wom- ans enfranchisement. When all other points are answered, our opponents are wont to say with an air of crushing finalty-'Well women cannot fight. Those who cannot hold their own when 1t comes to a matter of physical combat should not be entrusted with the power of government It is interesting to note, In this connection, that the existence Of war is coming to be used as an argument for and not against woman suffrage, by peo- ple In those states where the enfranchise- ment of women has already taken place. This changed point of view was evil denced, for instance, in the United States Senate this week when Senator Ashurst of Arizona presented to the Senate ar guments for suffrage based upon the con tention that the existence of war was one more reason why women should haye, the vote. He said in part
 Twenty years hence, when the muse of history shall come to writerof the mag nitude of the social revolution and of the changing of the old >'order which is oc- curing in our nshion now, but which we do not see because it is so near us, it Will then bef pointed out that woman suf- frage Vas made part of our American s-system because for centuries govern ments had been going to war without ask ing the consent of the women who fur nished the sons who, after the carnage of battle, are heaped into a trench in one red burial blent.'
 ''rhe pen of the future historian will point out that the women of the world be- came weary of passing through the valley of the shadow of death, bearing sons as a bloody sacrifice to the Moloch of war If their sons are to be thus sacrificed they demand that they shall have a voice as to when war shall be declared.
 But say some persons with fertile and winged imagination, women do not go to war, hence they should have no voice in determining the natter The conclu- ison Is not well founded, for female cour- age. female patriotism, and female influ- ence are war power, or, rather are just as much sinews of war at times as are ball cartridges. l reply that women do the work of the Red Cross and the hospital, and frequently the heavier and more important work which the men leave behind them. Their patriotism is just as virile, their devotion to country just as unswerving, as that of The men. History records many instances of the bravery, daring, dauntless courage, and prowess of women on their battlefield"

"SkeIeton in Closet"

What is the origin of the saying, There is a skeleton in every closet? And is it true as some say, that sorrow and happiness are evenly distributed among mankind? MARIA J. NJ
 The author of the proverb is not known. It has reference probably to the custom of the old Egyptians of placing a skele- ton at the table of every great feast. The ostensible reason for doing this was to remind the revelers of their own nor tality, whereas all must have become so familiar with the ghastly memento that it lost meaning in time.
 As to the equal distribution of sorrow and happiness in the world. nobody who has lived long can credit the theory. Some of the Fathers children suffer far more in mind, body. and estate than others Why only He KNOWS. It is never theless true that if we look for compen- sations, we will be amazed to find how many and how full these are. Outward prosperity does not, of necessity, imply peace of mind

To Remove Stains

q should like to know of something that will take stains from a photograph Also of something to take white spots from a black brilliantine. D. V. K.
 To both queries I return one and the same reply. All depends Upon what caused the spots. If there is grease upon the photograph or gown, rub them with chalk and magnesa, leaving it on for few hoi1rs If they were caused by acid, touch them with hartshorn. If sirup was spilled upon the articles, sponge with pure water.

MRS. FRENCH, PRESIDENT OF THE TEN NESSEE EQUAL SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION
 TALKS OF CONDITIONS IN THAT STATE
By DOLLY nALRYMPLE

Mrs. l.. Crozier French, the distn-
 guished president of the Tennessee Equal
 Suffrage association, who has been among the prominent visitors to Birmingham
 during the past few days, needs no n- troduction to the people of this com
 munity.
 Mrs. French is widely known as one of the most intellectual one of the most forceful, one of the brainiest and one of the most charming women whom the south delights to honor.
 As President of the Equal Suffrage as sociation of the grand old state of Ten
 nessee, Mrs. French has become known
 not only nationally, but internationally,
 and her work in behalf of the cause has
 given her precedence and prominence wherever intelligent men and women are
 assembled. Mrs. Freuch Is the type of
 woman who is distinctly feminine and in-
 sistently human.
 With all of her splendid intelligence and learning. she has the warmest note of sympathy hidden away in her heart-the l xindliest consideration for her fellow man "a spirituality that is surpassing> sweet and strength which IS dominant, meet l ing as she has in the pioneer cause that l she sponsors tremendous opposition but
 always able to cope with it=-always able I to win.
 l One of her greatest admirers, a young
 woman of delightful personality and en- gazing charm, has said of Mrs French 1 that she is made of the finest feminine fabrics" and that if she were asked to sum up her one biggest quality in the variations of her makeup, in single short sentence, she would say: 'She is the most heroic type of moral ] courage l have ever seen!" Mrs. French chatted interestingly with
 me a few days ago about suffrage and it's
 rrogress in the south.
 for suffrage a distinct forward move- ment for the cause.
 She talked of the Congressional Union and its position in suffrage ranks that the one note of militancy that had ever been struck in the United States (which by the way, she declares could never ex- ist as 1t does in England, because the conditions could never by any possible
 means be the same) had been sounded bv
 this organization.
 She remarked upon Mir Wilson's atti- ture toward suffrage as not Surprising to
 her in it's conservatism, since in his off cal position as President of these 1lnit4sd States he has not before been callesf dpon to lnaugurate any measure sof radical. any measure so large. any measure that
