 The two listeners admitted this and then asked Miss Petunia's opinion of "the inner stockade--the home"
 Miss Petunia turned and picked from a great bowl of flowers sitting nearby clover blossom and held 1t tenderly to her lips.
 The others failed to note the wistful teardrop that came into her big brown eyes or the pathetic droop of her tired
 mouth.

"Oh. no. indeed; you'll never catch mo Quarreling with my bread and butter. never." said Miss Petuna proudly, ''but now that the fledgelings have flown the family nest and my duty is done.

 Miss Petunia smiled.

NOISE AND THE NURSERY
By LUCILLE CANE

It seems to mo that the reaction is carrying us . long way in this matter of training our children. and in the way of controlling them. We think of our own childhood. perhaps, rather hedged in with irksome restrictions. We remember. some of us. that we had to move softly, to speak when we were spoken to. and not before; we had to be prirn and proper all tho time, or if we did not have to behave this way ourselves. we had friends who did.
 Father and mother were not people to whom we could talk freely. They were high above one. and persons to be re- garded with awe. We decided that our own children, if ever VIC had any. should not be brought up like this. We would let them treat us as equals; they should not fear us; they should not hesitate to approach us.
 And 70 1t has como about that we have some of us lost the respect of our children. Discipline which after all has made tn what we are. is being withheld from those dearest to us. We arc taking the habit of rAverence out of their lives.

an queen of love and beauty. I have nevAr been able to discover. even from fact or fiction, that 1t alleviated by a shSie the condition of the low borr womrjl. The world was torn with strife during those long. black sinister centuries, and woman was one of the regularly accepted spells of war. A famous teacher of history has said that no fiction writer has ever dared to describe truthfully the sacking of a town in the middle ages The woman of that period lived in the shadow of the peril. Then how about the woman of the near past? The black reril that lay over her sister of me- diaeval times has disappeared Her home was almost as safe as the church. but she must stay in it. like Robinson Crusoe, on the uninhahi- tated island of her environment. She lived in series of stockades. Pro. hibited mans big world. she built hei womans world inside the stockadc Occasionally a woman escaped from her little world and blazed a trail ol fire through the mans big world"
 During the chorus of comment. varied and interesting, which followed ths reading of the article. handsome gray haired woman of dignity and ele- gance, splendid intellect and aristo. cratic bearing sat mute and gentle with a look of protest in her eyes that was rather curious.
 She was a business woman wei known and highly esteemed both ill thu commercial world and among the few social acquaintances that she had Jeff after years of prolonged working ant being out of such things.

The lady remained absolutely quiet during the discussion that followed the reading of the article and she sudden. ly had an attack of stiffness which she seemed rather to enjoy and she became thoughtful as she listened to the opin- icns of the others.
 Loud were the praises of the story great were the congratulations of the sex who in the white light of our mag. Lificent civilization come into her owr.
 Woman is at last free; she hal thrown off the yoke; the letters ars hers no more; she is no longer down. trodden; at last man has welcomed heI into his world on an equal footing, were among the sentiments which the women present were indulging in. some approving. some condemning, al of which. however. made the discussion enjoyable
 At length the conversation veered 'rount and landed on woman suffrage" and 1T the argument that followed the ardent ad vocates were the younger women of tn, little group, all well-dressed, well-fed anc some of them-most of them, in fact women of independent means. Other diversions now obtruded them selves and some of the group scattered leaving a little bunch of three, including Miss Petunia Angeface" and two others seekers after the truth" we will cal them; at least they were women of pro nounced views and opinions on different subjects.
 
 Surely, Miss Petunia. you who are s, | broad and so independent and so success ful in the commercial world, must be lieve in suffrage" said one patlen seeker.
 'I believe in suffrage as a movement Miss Petunia answered with dignity anc boise, "and l ardently desire it for those who want it, but as for myself-well. my opinion doesn't carry much weight She leaned back in her chair with | tired gesture as if she really meant what she said.
 Wouldn't you vote if you could?" asked the other member of the trio. The older woman smiled quietly and said:
 Twenty years ago I was asked that self same question. and I ardently an swered yes Ten years ago, when tht question was repeated. I was still Ire mendously interested"
 And now?" inquired the first speaker
 Well. I might attend the polls if i, didn't rain. and the crowd wasn't toe large and it didn't interfere with my lunch hour, she smiled back

 The two younger women moved closer and asked for the story.

RED TRAIL ROUTE
IN NEXT BLUE BOOK
Automobile Blue Book Publishers
Will Establish Route on New
Highway.

The Bismarck Commercial club has
pledged the Automobile Blue Book
Publishing company of Chicago its
cooperation with other organizations
along the Red Trail in relaying re-
preventative of the publishers over
the National Parks highway in 1916.
The local club has been fighting for
several weeks for a square deal for
the Red Trail in the Automobile Blue
Book. The routine originally submit
ted by the Blue Book publishing COM
pany was faulty, including bad spots
which have been eliminated during
the past two years good roads build
ing. The club, after considerable cor
respondence, procured authority to
edit the routing, which it did. The
publishers then came back with an
offer to send man the entire length
of the trail early in 1916 to prepare a
complete new routing for the 1917
edition, providing that arrangements
could be made to relay him from city
to city.
The Bismarck Commercial club has
assured it's own cooperation, and it
believes that it can depend on other
organizations along the line to ''come
to the scratch" as every commercial
executive appreciates the value of the
Red Trail to his community
