A NOBLE SPORT
An English Collectors Remi-
niscenCeS.

THE SPORT OF COLLECTING. BY Sir
Martin Conway. Illustrated svo. pp. 147
Frederick A Stokes Company.
This is a delightful book on a fasci-
mating subject IL covers fully thirty
years of its authors adventures az a
collector Of old pictures, tapestries,
furniture, pottery. Egyptian, Greek and
Roman antiques, and of the remains Of
that prehistoric Peru on which Sir
Martin has made himself our leading
authority. IL Is a record Of begin
ner's mistakes and unrecognized OPP
portunities, and of his later prizes
when he had acquired the connOlsseur's
knowledge and fGir. 10 is also a tale of
opportunities vanished forever, of the
golden days when, in Sir Martins own
words, what was q taste of the re-
fined had not yet become a fash
ion among the wealthy" when unrec-
ognized old masters might yet be I'M
earthed and bought for a song in dingy
little curio shops in narrow streets IN
small Italian towns, and when provin-
cial England still held warehouses full
of old furniture which the dealers
never expected to sell because It was
old. Genuine oak court cupboards
were 10 be had any day for about "a
apiece. A Cromwell table cost perhaps
80 shillngs if it was good one with
spiral legs. Solid-backed oak chairs
were to be had in any number. Carven
four-post oaken bedsteads, great bulb
ous-legged oak tables, fine EliZabethan
cupboards were never exactly common,
but any one who had taste for such
things could find them without a pro-
longed search, and could purchase them
at a cheaper rate than that obtaining
for good contemporary furniture"
The growing trophy OF Sir Martins
career as collector Is Arlington
Castle, near Maidstone, Kent, which he
has converted into a worthy casket for
his spoils from many ages and many
climes. To 1t he devotes glowing
last chapter, but, alas nothing is per
feet in this world, for it contains not
a single wall on which pictures can be
effectively hung. All the rooms have
crossllghts.

ment back of it?
But woman is represented by her
husband" they tell US. Is she really?
That might be true ii every woman had
a husband, and husbands and wives al
ways agreed on vital subjects. Anyway
what is the matter with woman $
brain that she should depend even on
her husband TO do her thinking and vot-
ing?
''She who faces death by torture for
each life beneath her breast" has an in
tensity of interest in the future welfare
of that life, which, it seems, would rem
der her especially fitted to show far
sightedness and wisdom in law-making.
Kipling says: THE female of the spe-
cies is more deadly than the male" He
could have added with equal truth that
she is also more faithful, more loving,
more self sacrificing-in other words,
more intense, whatever the emotion
whether it be love or hatred. Her ab
sorbing devotion to her own, he takes as
proof that she couldn't be just to others.
But are not women wise enough to know
that their own are a part of the nation
and that all stand or fall together? That
the greatest good for the greatest num-
Der is the thing best for their own?
Man needed woman-that was why
God made her. He is not complete
without her. He needs her brains to see
and think that which according TO ia
ture he cannot see nor think. No man
can make a home without a woman S
assistance; neither can he manage to the
best advantage that larger home-his
country-until women realize how all
important to themselves and their pos
terity is the subject of good govern
ment.

ed and read by Mrs. Eli B. Evans at a
recent meeting of the Bay View, Mo +,
Emily ChenaUlt, of this place, and is a
sister of Judge J. c. Chenault and Hon.
ID. NJ Chenault. She is being recogniz-
ed in her home community as quite an
essayist and the following article from
her pen will be read with interest by her
many old friends here:
Madam President and Ladies': think
women should be allowed TO vote.
believe in government of the people,
for the people and by the people; and
notwithstanding the diversity of opinion
on the subject, honestly think that wo-
men are people
OF course there are various opinions
concerning women. The Turk locks
her in when he leaves home. The Hin
du, the Chinese and others have their
views. Some. think she has no soul,
some that she has no mind and some
that she has no rights. And even in the
Gland of the free and the home of the
brave" she has been classed politically
with idiots and criminals.
My belief in woman's right TO the bal
lot is not founded on statistics. To me
it seems simply matter of justice and
fair dealing. The 13 colonies needed no
statistics to convince them that taxa
tion without representation" was unjust
neither do we need statistics to prove
to US the same fact. Thomas Jefferson
had no statistics to prove to him that all
men are created free and equal-neither
do we require statistics to prove to US
that woman is entitled to fair deal.
''Oh, but, some say, woman has no
business in politics"
''She is the home maker Very true.

''But women are too busy with home
duties, they tell US, to have time TO
vote" If she is so closely confined as
all that. say, give her holiday! On
election day let her 90 to the polls and
vote, while the men, If necessary, stay
at home and rock the cradles and rule
the world.
1t was predicted that higher educa-
tion would ruin women. just as it is TO
day that politics will lower her standard,
her influence and her usefulness.
think that she who bears the race is wor-
thy of greater confidence.
She has proved blessing almost al
ways and everywhere. Surely she will
not fail in home making" in the larger
sense Of the word.
No one will deny that many Of our
most needed reforms in politics have
come through the influence of woman.
Then since she has benefited the gov
ernment, having only an echo in its af-
fairs, why fear TO give her voice!
