The woman who intends TO have any
sort Of success IN this world must be
tactful. II she isn't naturally tactful
then the sooner she learns so to be. the
better for herself. For tactfuln'ss a.
ways brings with It a measure of popular
ity Conversely. the lack OF tact always
means more than small degree OF un-
popularity--and who among us can "f'
ford to be unpopular with our feBpw
creatures?

ance who always says the wrong thing
No matter where she is or how she Is
or what the circumstances are she IN

is Thoroughly well-meaning That is the
lamentable part OF the whole affair. She
wouldn't hurt the feelings of the pro-
verbal mouse If she could help it-but
she can't help Il! For she was born with
q lack of tact. And no one shows her the
error of her ways.
In the small circle in which she lives
and moves and has her being she is only
tolerated-not really liked. She wonders
why?

And she is perfectly right. For how
could Mary Brown enjoy herself when
most of the time she was the unwilling

I'm so glad to see you. Mary. But.

Her Horoscope

'Tls true one half of womans life is hope
And one half resignation. Between
there lies
Anguish of broken dreams-doubts, dire
surprise.
And then is born the strength with all
to cope.
UnconscIously sublime, life's shadowed
slope
She braves; the knowledge in her
patient eyes
OF all that love bestOws, and love denies.
AS writ in every wOman's horoscopel
She lives her heart-beats given to others
needs.
Her hands, to lift for others on the way
The burdens which their weariness for
sock.
She dies, an uncrowned doer of great
deed.
Remembered? Yes as is for one brief day

Women Fall Into a Rut.

Woman suffrage was defeated in New Jersey
by $4,000 majority, and the suffrage leaders now
say the interests" did it Perhaps, but what
reform politics. This cry against the interests
is not encouraging. 1t does not promise change
1t is the same old cry of the defeated. Mere
man has INDUCED in that cry for many years
whenever he went down to political defeat The
origin OF this cry 'the interests did it, is not
known, but it has been heard ever since Jacob
devised a business advantage over his father-in-
law for the division OF the cattle Since then
men have had originality in business or poll
tics in accounting for defeat. They have all
laid it the interests. They have followed in
the footsteps of their forefathers, were clated
with success and dolefully cried against the in
terCsts in defeat.
The women have been original in their poll
teal campaigns, especially in New Jersey. They
have adopted many new plans for attracting at
tention, securing publicity and pledges of sup
port. Not the least of these was in securing the
support of President Wilson, Secretary Garrison
and Secretary Tumulty for defeated cause, which
placed these eminent Jerseyes in the minority for
the first time since the Democratic administra-
ton began, which may be prophetic. The sue
cess of the women in this feat of gathering in
the President and his Cabinet suggested a new
order OF political genius. But when the women
cry out against the interests as responsible for
their defeat they fall back into the old political
rut worn by defeated men for the last thousand
years. 1t is disappointing and, as a general COM
plant it is probably untrue as it has ever been
in the politics of men, What Interest" could
array itself against the women? What bank is
not engaged in collecting deposits for women to
withdraw and spend? What trust or corporation
is not making something for women to buy?
What real estate scheme has not for the center of
its picture beautiful cottage with bright carpets
on the floor and luxurious hammocks on the porch
to attract the eyes of women? What big or little
stock deal is not made attractive to the women, |
and finally what tipple is placed on the mar
ket without physicians certificate that it will
build up the weak, rest the tired and restore the
shattered nerves of women?
We doubt if there is interest in all New
Jersey controlled by men that is not appealing to 1
he women just have been appealing to |
women since the world began. Why not admit |
hat women had something to do with the defeat
Of woman suffrage, and that there were more
women who counseled if they did not command,
heir husbands, lovers, brothers and sons to vote
lgainst suffrage, than there were who urged their

The Common Burden.

In giving women the vote, says the New Re.
public, men "are not bestowing on women
precious privilege. They are implicitly withdraw,
ing from women the right of being politically IT.
responsible and socially protected, They are ask
ing women to share the anxious burden Of govern
ment They are asking women to put on uniform
and commit themselves to political good behavior.
mo wonder some women shrink from the
responsibility; but if they shrink, it is not mat
ter Of self-congratulation. Shey are refusing to
qualify for share in that part of the labor of
social regeneration which must be accomplished
through political action. Women will obtain .poti-
cal power at the time when it has ceased to be
an opportunity for ACKNOWLEDGMENT or satisfaction
and has become chiefly opportunity for public
service. During the last few thousand rothe
ruling class have extracted the sweetness from the
work of government The remaining public bust
ness which they are kindly passing on to the
democracy -consists chiefly of untiring and un-
selfish work on behalf of better social conditions.
"The male voters in a modern democracy, in
stead of grudgingly churlishly and condescending-
ly comforting the vote on women, would, If they
really understood, fall on their knees and beg
their mothers, their wives and their daughters to
help them carry the common burden"
