that history records in the human cos

implements was scarcely looked at The
women were all for the knights in armor

Or shaw made the principal address
for the suffragists. She called attention
to President Wilson's view that the suf
frage question was "A State matter and
Sdld tndI tne Ir6llent preferred the
states TO settle the matter for themselves.
She argued that the proposition of amend
ing the Constitution should be sub
mittcd TO the voters of the State for
their approval or rejection, as the Con-
stitution prescribes. whichever way II
goes 1t will rest for season" she said.

Hats and Faces.

Boston man went down to Hart ford and said to the Motherhood club of that city. If you have a 29-cent face don't wear a $30 hat"
 Of course. the Boston man didn't make it clear to the ladies with Hart ford faces just what the hat-and-face ratio should be. Even 29-cent face might hesitate over wearing 29-cent hat. On the other hand woman with a $50 face could scarcely be expected to don a $50 hat.
 No. the Boston man is wading into deep water. He quite overlooks the eternal law of compensation
 Let the 29-cent face wear a s30 hat. It may distract attention
 As for the woman with the $50 face, she doesn't need any hat-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

"Pope's Size"

A curious item in the trade slang of hosiers IS the term "popes size" ap- piled to vests. They classify the scale of chest measurements for these as: Small mems. 32 inches; slender mems, 34 inches; mems, 36 inches; pope's. 39 inches; out size, 42 inches
 The origin of this term. which has been current for nearly century, was discussed some years ago in Notes and Queries, when it was stated on good authority that it had no connec- tion with the successors of St. Peter.
 It appears that the head of an old firm of West end hosiers. Messrs. Pope & Plante. ordered this size to be made specially for his own personal use, and the manufacturer called it after him for want of better name.- London Chronicle.
