- - "A Sidelight on Suffragettes"

a RIOUS sidelight Is
n thrown upon the history
of suffragette violence in
England by the latest reports OF
male rowdyism which have
reached this country.
From Liverpool comes the re-
port of a meeting which to a per-
son unfamiliar with English life
is so amazing as to be almost
unbelievable Anti vivisectionists

that further restrictions should be
placed by law upon surgical ex-
periments tried upon living ami

vertlsed a meeting for tho Advo-
cacy OF their views. This is how
the report begins:
Much interruption and disor-
der was created by company OF
medical and veterinary students
from Liverpool University. The
speakers were persistently inter
rupted by shouts and caterwaul-
ings, and toward the end OF the
proceedings an old man, who was
in sympathy with the objects OF
the meeting, was struck by one

scene ensued, several persons

The Woman Gives All,
and the Man Gives
Nothing.

All the odds are against her.
She is giving all, risking all, while
the man risks nothing. He does
not even take the chances of a
bachelor on having to marry her
If he compromises her or being
sued for breach of promise If he
is faithless. His marriage certifi-
cate protects him from the con-
sequences Of his wrongdoing and
leaves the girl to bear the burden
alone.
1t is useless for her to claim
that he is more guilty than she,
because he has been a traitor TO
the wife that he had sworn at the
altar to be true to, while she is
free to give her love where she
pleases. Society will draw it's
skirts away from the woman and
sneer at her with scorn, while II
digs the married Lothario in the
ribs, winks at him and tells him
that he's a very devil of fellow
among the girls.
The woman Who chooses the
primrose path takes enough risk,
God knows, but she who elects to
tread 1t with a married man is
fCredoomed to walk only upon
thorns. She does not have even a
sporting chance at happiness!
That a merried man should be
fascinating to an inexperienced
and silly girl IS not surprising.
For one thing he represents to
her forbidden fruit, and the very
knowledge that he belongs to an
other is a certain fillip 10 a fir
tation with him. 1t fills her with
a delicious sense of wickedness to
have clandestine meetings with
him and little dinners and sup
pers that ere spiced by the
thought Of what would happen II
his wife should suddenly walk
into the restaurant.

that even If she is as chaste az
ice and pure as snow that you
could never convince a censorious
and scandal loving world OF 1t.
Such a man will deliberately
win a girls heart for the SOD to
his vanity that it is, knowing that
it can bring her nothing but mis-
cry. Then when anxiety and baf-
fed desire have worn the fresh
ness from her beauty and the
gladness from her spirit he will
cowardly take shelter behind his
wedding ring and tell her that she
has no right to reproach him.
that she knew all the time that
he was bound to another.
Sometimes a married man does
fall honestly in love with a girl,
but how selfish is the love that
drags woman into the slough of
a hopeless ENHANCEMENT The
man knows that he can make no
return to the woman that he
binds to him that viii not COM

that is the most bighting curse
on earth to her.
The girl who INDUCES IN a love
affair with a married man com
forts herself with the hope that
he will divorce his wife and mar
ry her. This is weak reed
upon which to lean. Divorce Is
not to be had for the wishing, nor
does the man always wish for IL
Often the very married man who
is befooling girl and leading her
to perdition gives whatever OF

his wife, and would not think Of
bestowing his name upon the frail
creature with whom he amuses
himself.

Married Mans Love Is
a Curse to the Girl
Taking It.

Also, in many women, there is
a streak of mischievous cruelty.
1t gives them pleasure TO think Of
how they are torturing some fat
and middlc-aged wife with jeal-
ousy, and of how she is cutting
down on the grocery bills to pay
for the champagne they are vast
ing.
But the chief IA scination OF the
married man is that he plays the
game of love with the sure hand
of a professional. The very fact
that he is married has made him
wise to the psychology of woman.

ways to touch a woman's imagi-

HOPE that every girl in the
length and breadth of the
land has been reading the sad
and terrible story of Hazel Herd
man, who murdered the wife Of
her lover and then took her own
miserable life, because the wife
would not get divorce from her
husband and leave him free to
marry her.
The stark tragedy of such a
story breaches a sermon more
powerful than any printed or ut
tered words upon the wickedness
and the folly Of young women
carrying on love affairs with
married men.
Many girls indulge in these
shady romances. Many girls are
proud of their ability to attract
married men, and boast of such
conquests. Let them all be warn
ed by the fate of this poor girl,
for in some degree every one of
them sooner or later will share in
the agony she suffered, for while
not every love affair with a mar
ried man ends in bloody murder,
every one ends in a bleeding heart
for the woman.
The girl who permits herself to
be drawn into a love affair with
a married man is not only a sin
ner, but she Is fool. She is
playing a game in which the dice
are loaded.

The Fire of Jealousy Can
Not Be Put Out
With Love.

And always, for the girl who
falls in love with a married man,
is that terrible, frantic Jealousy OF
the wife who bears his name, who
has a right to be at his side, who
is recognized by society. No be-
lief that the man loves her the
better can ever quench this jeal-
ousy in the heart of the other
woman. It is canker that eats
into her very soul until It poisons
her spring of life and blishts
every joy.
No happiness endures that IS
built on the misery Of another

withstood the onslaught. He
spoke briefly. The real speech he
came to make was never made.
The beginnings Of militancy are
rooted in these English methods
of disturbing public meetings. The
suffragettes began by doing moth
ing but interrupt speaker, not
with yells, with kissing or with
oaths, but by questions, What
about votes for women" and the
like. They were treated with
gross brutality. As they con-
tinued their tactics at meetings
all over England the violence of
the incensed supporters of the
meetings increased. Then women
were the victims. We sympathized
with them and when they went
TO prison we gloried in their
courage and devotion.
Thus, naturally, has militancy
developed.

Those who are still young and ro-
