THE END
HOLDS ROUSSEAU IN HONOR
French Republic, Unlike America. Commentaries the Birthday of
 One of It's Chief Founders.

It is interesting to note that the French republic is not ungrateful to it's founders. On every twenty-eighth day of June, the birthday of Jean Jacques Rousseau Is commemorated in Paris and throughout France. Like Paine, the author of The Social Con- tract" was hardly respectable, and he is known to Americans not as the friend--one might almost say the fa- ther-of liberty. but as the author of those Confessions" in which he laid bare all his weaknesses, all his vices and all his petty sins, and gave to the world for the first and only time the spectacle Of a man who dared to tell the whole truth about himself. But despite these revelations, France does not leave to it's ultra radicals and so- cial outcasts the task of perpetuating Rousseau's memory The foremost statesmen of the republic have joined in the annual tribute of respect to Jean Jacques.
 So France honors Rousseau. But of the 100,000,000 people who live under the flag of the American republic which Paine helped to found, only a few hundreds remember his birthday. A few gather in New Rochelle. per haps few others meet in Philadel- phia and Boston-and for the rest, si- lence Why? Because Paine neg lected his finger nails-or SC his en- enies aIleged-and because he was supposed t8 be an atheist-he who began his confession of faith written in the shadow f death. with the state ment: T believe in one God.

 Well, five minutes," agreed the voice. But don't let me call you again"

 Ten minutes late" interrupted Elm ma McChesney. I'm dishing up ser mon, hot, for one, and you've got to choke it down Whenever I hear a travelling man bowling about his lone some evenings, and what a dogs life 1t is, and no way for a man to live, always wonder what kind of a sum- mer picnic he thinks it is for his wife. She's really a widow seven months in the year. without any of widow pltNIcSGH- DIu lOu CkCi sup AO AA4hA what she's doing evenings? No. you didn't. Well, I'll tell you. She's sit ting home, night after night, probably embroidering monographs on your shirt sleeves by way of diversion. And on Saturday night, which is the night when every married woman has the in- alienable right to be taken out by her husband, she can listen to the woman in the flat upstairs getting ready to go to the theater. The fact that there's a ceiling between 'em doesn't prevent her from knowing just where they're going. and why he has worked himself into a rage over his white lawn tie. and whether they're taking taxi or the car and who they're going to meet afterward at supper. Just by listening to them coming doynstairs she can tell how much Mrs Third Flats silk stockings cost. and if she's wearing her new lavalliere or not. Or maybe you don't There's so much you've missed"
 Say. look here broke from the man beside her. But Emma MeChes- ney laid her cool fingers on his lips.
 Nothing from the stde-lines, please. she said. After they've gone she can go to bed. or she can sit up, pretend ing to read, but really wondering if that squaaky sound coming from the direction of the kitchen is a loose screw in the storm door. or if it's some one trying to break into the fiat. And she'd rather sit there, scared green, than go back through that long hall to find out. And when Tillie comes home with her young man at eleven o'clock. though she promised not to stay out later than ten, she rushes back to the kitchen and falls on her neck, shes so happy to see her. Oh, it's gay life. You talk aboat the heroism of the early Pilgrim mothers. I'd like to know what they had on the average travelling mans wife"

sT don't know" replied Emma Me Chesney. "but there is. And for your own good I'm going to tell you few things. There's more to this travelling game than just knocking down on ex. penses. talking to every pretty woman you meet, and learning to ask for fresh white bread heels at the Palmer house in Chicago. I'll meet you in the lobby at eight"
 Emma MeChesney talked steadily, and evenly. and generously, from eight until eight-thirty. She talked from the great storehouse or practical knowledge which she had accumulated in her ten years on the road She told the handsome young cub many things for which he should have been undy- ingly thankful But when they reached the park-thee cool, dim, moon-silvered park, it's benches dotted with glimpses of white showing close beside a blur of black, Emma McGhesney stopped talking. Not only did she stop talk ing, but she ceased to think of the boy seated beside her on the bench

 It would be significant if France followed the example of Wyoming and Alaska. This state and territory gave women the vote, without sub Jecting them to ha.d campaigning and obect pleading. In France an influential journalist, MT. Urbain Confer has launched movement to glVs the ballot to the women of France. He argues.
 Since the men have been sent to the army women have replaced them ln practically every occupation. trench woaen eSe working fourteen hours daily ill the munition factories. on the farms and in public utilities. linen they go home to care for their children. War crosses numbering lS2,OOO have been awarded to men. Women are entitled to just as many, but what they really want to save them from the hospitals and the side walks is the vote. In that way alone can the sweated female labor. which has increased greatly through the war, be abolished.
