When the President Prayed
,m the Springfield Republican.

 How President Wilson went down on his knees and led his cabinet in prayer at recent meeting was told at Indian apolis Friday by Bishop William F. An Indiana Methodist Episcopal conference A United States senator told the bishop of the incident The senator had heard it from one of the cabinet members who had prayed with the President
 When the President arrived at tho cabinet meeting," said Bishop Anderson, ''his face wore a solemn look. It was evident that serious affairs of the na- ton were on his mind. He said to the cabinet members, I don't know whether you men believe in prayer or not. I do. Let us pray and ask the help of God
 And right there the President of the United States fell upon his knees and the enemb bers of his cabinet did the same. and the President offered a prayer to God. While the war rages in Europe, we in this country should thank God that in this crisis of the world we have chief executive who is servant of God and who stands with his hand in the hand of every time he offers a prayer. take Wood- row Wilson by the hand and lead him into the presence of God, and ask that he be given strength to continue to be the great apostle of peace among men.
 There was chorus of "amens' from the ministers. Later, telegram ex pressing the confidence of the delegates in him was sent to the President.

Not because she has sense that such Is the democracy of the day. but because as child will eventually cease crying for the thing it cannot get or as student of the Bible will in the end relinquish the de- sire for the collar that goes round, so will woman stoop to the traditions and the laws that were her mothers before her, and will abide for year or so to the directing of feeling that is inborn.
 Many moons ago "vanity cases" came into the market; they swing three feet below the serene eyes of every Phyllis puffs and hand mirrors, lip rouge and face tint. and all the 1902 things that Brothers" have gotten together and called themselves company" for, and yet with it all, beauty as a duty has been part of it's mission.
 Back in the early thirties there came a day when the high heel was dis carded for all the comforts of spring step tie; when the tea leaves were left in the teapot and the calling cards stuck to the case; about 10 minutes later women found that they suddenly cared and just as suddenly found that 1t was too late.

DOES WOMAN CHANGE?
 NOT IN NEW JERSEY
By ISABELL MARR

knowing intuitively her place In life.
 She knows that it is taking an unfair
 advantage of man to fix a blame when
 custom makes it cowardly for him to at
 tempt to refute her charge This men,
 tai ailment-this unrest-makes 1t ap- pear as if mans life Is happier than womans life; that because of their un- happiness these mental dsturbers must take away from their own sex their right to be just as happy as the stronger sex by keeping up continual aggita- tion of tiresome subject.
 Not long ago young woman, ana by the way she is from New Jersey told
 me, in defense of her mental ailment, she
 had learned how to stear clear of traps
 set by man, all of which were propped | open with fiattery, midnight dinners dances, etc, which finally brought about | marriage. Her new gospel offered free | dom from the monster and his self-made
 trap. "ls 1t your purpose to make | man of yourself?' l asked. "Yes, and no-I am going to keep all my womanly attributes and take on just certain man attributes. such as the right to protect my property by ballot, the right to ask
 mans hand in marriage. the right to go | to war, the right to wear trousers-you know there is law against women wear
 ing mems cothing-and my greatest and most important right will be the right to have latch key. go and come at will without being ostracised from good l society,"
 Now that the women of New Jersey, ] through the vote of her sons. husbands
 and fathers, have said we do not want
 to give ourselves over to this mental 1 ailment; we. the women of New Jersey. | do not believe in this proposed change 1 in womans life. but we do believe in
 the. protection of our homes by allowing l the men of New Jersey to hold the bal
 lot just as they carried arms to pro-
 tect our homes from the Indians years ago."

The recent vote in the state of -sew Jersey against suffrage goes to prove that the woman who rocks the cradle controls the vote. Men bear arms and men hold the ballot: women bear life and women hold the control of the ballot
 He who studies the Greek drama real izes the sameness of human nature. The yesteryear and today are the same events and customs may change. Changes are brought about by great mass move ments We see at one stage of the worlds development contented women at another period environment changes social conditions but does 1t change woman?
 There is something in her personality like every instrument in the orchestra she is tuned to the development of con sciousness; she stands out for simple truth of human happiness and all its possibilities.
 When the men of New Jersey bore arms in defense Of their country, the women of New Jersey were training their sons to not only defend their homes and country, but time went on, and great changes came about they must defend themselves against the inroads of unwise movements. New Jersey mothers and grandmothers. by virtue of their hold on their mother world, have been able tc keep their state apace with the progress of civilization by training tthelr sons to guard well their own homes from invasion of this great mental ailment
 The great soc.al fabric of life demands a whole, well made woman without any mental alment. New Jersey women are responsible for this sane and decisive refusal of suffrage. in roundabout way tis true, but the men who cast the bal lot were only proving that then mothers lived in an age that is not guilty of changing with the tide.
 New Jersey women are to be congrat- ulated on their success in keeping dowr the suffrage movement. This suffrae movement reminds me of a great bis sponge. absorbing everything within reach, regardless of consequences, pro poeing when the ballot is given to women the reorganization of all society, forget ting that this sponge movement is no the teachings of their own mothers. bu q departure from the training of thei youth

 through the glass of its coffin lid.
 The tradition, the belief, or what you will, went, that women should not strive for beauty; it even went so far that if a woman happened to be endowed with little of it, that little was to be hidden from the pub lie.
 If she had a pretty ear her looks s might be banded; if it was a pretty mouth, up went the fan; if it was small and steady hand, on went the mitt and. above all, if it was beauty of eye, down came the lids like d speakers gavef' for silence, to em- phasize delicacy of reserve such as maidens should possess.
 So came the belief into New Eng land some 100 years ago, and made dimity demure, put antimacassars into addition, samples into society, and the garden of the soul blossomed once in three generations. for of wax were the roses and the lily of the valley
 In the long time ago, there was born into the heart of woman the de- sire to put her hair into curl papers, gird up her elbows with ribbon and lace; dimples were a snare and a lure, and at the same time the period in the language of the face, and she might not smile too often.
 Because of these things, even up to now, young girls are afraid to be as attractive as they might; not that they

study ourselves to learn and unlike the battle of Waterloo, or the victory of Bull Run, it is not the history of the people. but the person.
 Each of us has first to learn herself; you know what I mean; instead of standing before the cheval glass, for 30 seconds, and drawing the rabbits foot across the face, with hurri- cane movement and punching the hair up with single hair pin. (the wind blown beauty effect), and stand per- fectly still, gazing at yourself as though you had produced a second "Mona Lisal' ct took her a long time, you know, to acquire that ever lasting smile that goes round all the worldD
 Stand still for few moments, my lady, for the latest that has come to town in the way of epigrams is that beauty is duty"
 What may suit someone else will not key up to our complexion, for we have to study not a map, but an un- discovered country, and we have to build and prune and improve and achieve without the help of a guide.
 When we clothe ourself we should have something else in sight besides the tag"
 In word here is the idea:
 Just a little longer over that bow, my lady. and make the lace about the throat fit just little bit more snugly and becomingly, and place the folds of your scarf in more graceful lines: attend to your hands, madame, little more carefully, for ye gods and little fishes! when you shall de- scend at last from the chariot your hand Is your only calling card; by 1t you shall stay or pass one; and Mrs. Mod- ish, just one more little curl in your

the lamps over the masonry of a se- cluded monastery, yet who could not and would not keep their nails polished and pink, to save their souls; they know, as they pass out of the fash ionable cafe that the tout ensemble" Is stunning; that their hair Is the cor rect shade, even if it is neglected, and their hands are all right when properly gloved; their features show up beautifully under a 50 per cent of electric power, plus a frill of pink pa per, but what on the face of the earth would they do if the light should sud denly happen to go up 50 per cent more, and the pink shades equally as suddenly happened to fall off, and the well gloved hands should suddenly be stripped of their covering! Can you imagine such an awful moment?
 Just what importance 8 woman lays upon her make her toilet, rather, we cannot rightly estimate. but it is certain that she does not put the stress upon it that she should!
 Very often there is an idea about a woman who overdresses, overprimps. overmassages, and overexercises, who does indeed anything to improve her looks, and fails through excess, that she must typify all women. who would do the same things in moderation.
 Women who "overdo" as a matter of fact, are really very few and far be- tween, because chiefly they don't want to bother.
 To be attractive, to cultivate beauty if we have been given ample soil in which to cultivate beauty. to make our selves not merely attractive. but cui- tured. not only simple. but perfectly in tune, we should have to go about 1t as all things are gone about that are worth while; we should have to
