ISOLATION who made the demand. When,
on April 3. the mayoralty candidate in
the Chicago election was hooted down In.
a public opera house-woman suffragists
were the ringleaders in the agitation.
That woman suffrage means letting
down the bars Of restraint to a class Of
women who are in potential rebellion
against our entire system few men can
believe. When suffragists. for instance.
hurl packages Of literature into the
faces of the "antis,'' tear down American
flags and destroy property at county
fairs, etc. the men excuse tit seems
far cry from that to militancy. When
the most violent attacks are made on
our men called "oppressors'' all is con-
doned-because it is for cause head
ed by women.
The first time the suffragists heckle the
President. they are excused and he is
mildly criticized-and then. when the tenth
times comes. at a time when grave in
ternational problems have suddenly in
'spired a new respect for his position.
these apologists condemn the individual
and the incident. but attempt to convince
themselves that votes for women" is
something better and more dignified
than its representatives. The gentleman
who told the suffragists several months
ago that the ants ought to be burned
alive" and that they couldn't BE too
aggressive to suit him" was an encour-
ager of militancy.
Petted Violent Women.

House week before last. ENCOURAGED the
New York suffragists who raised all the
hub-hub last week-and yet some of these
same papers condoned the one offense
and criticized the other, without per-
ceiving connection.
Some men seem to have lost their
logical senses on this question. and seem
to think that you can incite women to
seek more license, and be more disre-
spectful to everything under the sun, and
yet retain the old-time womanliness and
courtesy of their grandmothers. In Chi
cago. where it is impossible to convict
woman of murder the seventeenth
woman charged with this crime was
found with a smoking revolver in one
hand and a newspaper clipping in the
other announcing that mo jury will
hang n woman" 1t is safe to say that
not one of the men who allowed the six
he was encouraging another crime of the
same nature thereby.
That is the position of many women
and men who believe you can plunge all
our women into politics and still keep
them as they are. Suffrage for women
has been tried out for one or two genera
tions in scarcely settled Western States.

frage pioneers of Colorado only last week

London. May Ponce more there is a
strong wave of Indignation not only in
the press. but among practically all in
telligent people here against the absurdi-
ties of the censorship. which keeps the
nation in constant ignorance Of what Is
happening in the war
Time and again it has been Said that
whenever we get any information OF
value in regard to what is happening to
the English army in Flanders We get 1t
from the French official communicates or
the French papers. The English people
object to being treated like children.
Reports Are Doctored.
Nobody here yet knows exactly what
happened at Neuve Chapelle. which
might have been an important victory
and have relieved the city of Lille Of
the presence of German troops II some
body had not Numbered. But who?
Even Sir John French's reports are
carefully doctored and edited before they
are published. and as everybody knows
this they are of no value. because peo-
pie here always have the impression that
something may have been covered up.
But nobody knows how to force the
government to take the people into its
confidence. as the French government
has consistently done ever since the be-
ginning of the war. with the gratifying
results that the people of France have
implicit trust in their government, while
the English are under the impression
that official red behring's are continually
being dragged across the trail.
In spite of the splendid generosity Of
America, there is no doubt that thou
sands of Belgians who have preferred
to stay at home in their devastated
country are now practically starving
because the German army of occupa-
ton refuses to feed them.

MISS sINDDAD
By CLARISSA MAcKIE.

Vale Benson was fishing off Bass
Rocks when the brisk little motor boat
whisked under his very nose and dart
ed away around the point.
There goes Miss Sindbad, the
Sailor" he chuckled at the nickname
given to the saucy owner of the
launch. And, by Jove. she's running
off with my line!"
The reel was spinning merrily and
the line sang tune as it ran faulty
after the vanishing boat. Wales hook
and sinker were caught in the pro-
peller OF the little craft.
Hi, there!" he shouted.
Miss Sindbad did not turn around.
Hi, there! Miss Sindbad!" he
yelled in desperation.
The brown head turned, the boat
swung a wide circle and came about.
A pair of big. brown eyes looked up
into his.
You called me?" she asked sternly.
"Why-why, yes-you are running
off with my line" he explained, point
ing downwards
OH didn't know-1 am very sor.

OFF, she asked crisply.
It took him half an hour to olsen
tangle the line from the propeller.
At last it was off and Miss Sindbad
was free to pursue her way. During
the half hour Vale had learned that
she lived in the red-gabled house at
the extreme point.
RED Cables" he muttered, staring
after her. why, that is where Freda
Frake, the writer, lives. By Jove, it's
Miss Frake herself!"
All that evening he dreamed Of Miss
Sindbad's brown eyes and flushed
cheeks, of the dimple in her chin and
the soft curve of her face How low
able she was! And to think that she
should turn out to be Freda Frake,
|, that mysterious writer of fascinating
romances whose stories he had eagerly
bought for his magazine, but whose
personal identity was mystery to him
and his staff.

A BORROWED FlANcEE
BY LOUISE OLIVER.

Tommy Harvard lounged sulkily in
the doorway of Fifth avenue jewelry
shop. He had beaten his aunt to the
rendezvous by nearly half hour-not
that he was anxious for the meeting,
but because it had just happened that
he was passing and it was easier to
stop in than to come back. Tommy,
having too much money and leisure
had the habit of doing the easiest
thing
While he sulked he mused: 81 wish
to thunder the family would let me
alone. I'm no baby! l don't want to
get married, and Aunt Elizabeth can
trot her candidate home again, the one
she is to bring along to luncheon.
Say" He turned around and looked
after girl who had entered the shop,
leaving trail of exquisiteness behind
her as she passed. That's just the
prettiest girl | ever saw in my life!
Wonder if l know her. No-I'd have
remembered her if | did. l may as
well wait inside, guess" And Tommy
sauntered in.
Suddenly he conceived the brightest
idea of his life. A small room at the
back of the shop, with it's black velvet
topped tables and chairs for custom
ers, would make splendid setting
for the little drama he was arranging.
Anyone there could easily be seen by
persons entering the store.
Oh, nln CT hn ri ~
hour. Fifteen minutes until his aunt
was due with her protegee!
The girl turned away from counter
and found good-looking young man
in her path. He lifted his hat and
bowed. She returned his bow coolly.
Il beg your pardon; may I speak
to you for minute?" asked Tom.
The girl hesitated and ran her eye
rapidly over his clothes from shoes to
collar, and then for an instant studied
his face Reassured, she smiled and
nodded. why, yes, guess you may.
But don't believe know you"
That's the trouble You don't.
Won't you sit in the next room with
me while tell you something 1t is
more comfortable and a better place
to talk"
They sat down at the little table and
Tom pitched in with a queer feeling
that he was getting in over his head.
do you think you could be engaged
to me for five or ten mnutes?"
He was very red. The girl looked
serious in spite of CLEAN in her eyes.
Is it as bad as that"
Indeed it is. I'm in for a bad day
If you don't. Perhaps for life. if am
not careful, and let myself be caught
by an overzealous aunt who insists on
my getting married and who has a
new kind OF kait to try on me today"

An hour later Vale took farewell OF
the popular authoressand without one
glimpse of Miss Sindbad wendell his
way down to group of coy little cot
tages on the sandy slope.
He glanced casually at the last one
and stopped abruptly. On the gate was
the neat sign, Red Cables" and COM
ing down the steep steps was Miss
Sindbad herself, a white duck hat on
her brown head, her dark eyes dane
ing with pleasure.
$50 this is Red Gables!" exclaimed
Vale, and then at her amused glance
he went on recklessly. 1--we been call
ing on Miss Frake-I thought you
lived there!"
Such pity-and such difference"
she sighed. We're not bit literary
at our Red Gables-just plain, every
day folks"

Vale enthusiastically. They're easy

vigorously, and near him stood a slen-
der little. woman holding a big pail
Of paint.
'Oh. Jean,' called the woman, as the
girl approached.
Benson thrilled at the name. It was
his favorite of names for women.

leased her.
But Jean had vanished il.to the
house and he saw her no more that

he told himself gayly as he went back
to the hotel.
Tomorrow is always another day for
lovers Tomorrow he would see Miss

would be another day. And then
