of suffrage. Mrs. Bennett said:
 "I have always considered that it was an easy and delightful thing to speak in favor of woman suffrage and an honor to be an active member of the association organized for that sole purpose. For years we have been laying most of the stress on educa- tional work, by telling people through articles in the papers and in speeches the true reason for extending to women political freedom. Now we have entered upon a new era because votes TOT women has become a live political issue in both state and na- tional affairs. The national parties, both Republican and Democratic have put blanks in their platforms unqualifiedly endorsing the principles of woman suffrage as measure of justice to quote the words of the re- publican plank. In the states both parties have endorsed their national political program, and the Democrats have even added specific suffrage plank to their state platform. After this political acknowledgements we feel in very secure position. No man who has been elected on a party ticket to the legislature can fail to support the further extension of the suffrage to women in this state with out repudiating the pledge of his party, which he has accepted as lis, or else repudiating the constitution of the state of Connecticut and the' Declaration of Independence which are at the very foundation of our commonwealth. These documents state that all political power is in- herent in the people and that gov. ernment derives it's just powers, from the consent of the governed. Having acknowledged that women are, poli- tically speaking, people and a part of the governed to deny them the full rights of citizenship would be both illogical and cruel. How the fair minded men of this state can place women in the position of working any longer for the vote is surprising to me when you consider the type of people lined up for and against the movement. On the suffrage side is the National Grange, the National and State Federation of Women's clubs, Ithe National and State Feder- ation bf Labor, most of the clergy and all of those women who are giv- ing their lives to humanitarian work and social service. On the Anti suffrage side so far as I know there is not a single organization except liquor organizations which has pass ed resolutions opposing suffrage. Prejudice we have nearly overcome. and we can trace practically all of our political opposition to the liquor interestsi Without taking any stand on the question of license or prohfbi- ton as citizens of Connecticut we ob. ject to having the affairs of the state
 dominated and run by any specia interest,"

PICKLE WESTERN LOVER
 MAY HAVE A RIVAL

L. T. M. writes: T am girl out West seventeen and a half years of age. Deeply devoted was to a young man of IS who was on the border. Told me he loved me. I went away. He wrote till last month. Did not re- ceive my letters, nor I his. He went with another girl. He thought I had quit him. T came back. Said his mother objected to his caring for me, I having a Mexican sister-in-law. He loved me just the same, saying it was for me to say what to do. Now he goes with dear girl friend of mine. Am I to win him back or try to love another? I could win his mother, show h"r am ladylike, lowing her son.
 If one married in the family, you cannot help it. Poor. excuse to part lovers. You are spirited, good, wor- thy. If he does not seek to win you you will find one as good to wed.

WHEN HE'S NOT
 INCLINED TO CALL

l
 "'T1s good nature only wins the heart, It moulds the body to any easy grace And brightens eevry feature of the face; .N
 It smoothes the unpublished tongue with eloquence,
 | And adds persuasion to the finest sense.''
 There is generally among girls &C., quaintances of the opposite sex one young man who appeals to her more than all the others. If she has invited him to call and he has not taken ad- vantage of it, she should not infer by any maner of means that he is not in- terested in her. There may be a good and sufficient reason for his staying away.
 One girl remarked recently: '1 set apart Thursday evening to entertain the young man whom I wish to call upon me- Other evenings of the week I go off pleasuring. There's one young man who seems deeply interested in me- When I suggest to him that I'd be pleased to have him come around the following Thursday evening, he always has some excuse to offer. This shows me my company is not attrac- tive to him.
 This girl did not happen to know whit I did. The young man in ques- ton had taken a position as night clerk in a drug store to relieve the regular clerk each Thursday night. ] His duties began at eight o'clock in the evening. He was poor, but proud. He needed the small stipend he re- ceived there. Not for worlds would he | admit why hetcouId not call Thursday evenings, although the poor fellow was
 madly in love with her. He could not sleep nights worrying over the possi- bility of what lucky fellow might be in her parlor enjoying her smiles on l Thursday evenings.
 1 Another girl endeavored to pin a young man down by insisting that he should call the next, Wednesday even- ing if he did not wish to incur her dis pleasure. Being a near-lover-that is, a young man from whom a proposal
 of marriage might soon be expected he demurred, declaring he had mat
 ter on hand to attend to which could mot be postponed. How could he tell < his sweetheart that his chum in a nearby town had got into trouble for
 auto speeding; was locked up, and he
 was obliged to hustle to his rescue at
 once? His love affair could wait but | his friends affair couldn't. Reason 1 enough for his demurring in allowing
 her to fix the evening as to when he
 should call again.
 The wise girl suggests to a man that
 he suit his convenience; that he might not be- surprised to find her out If she
 had no intention of his coming. Where
 a man't heart is there his interest is
 also. He may not be able to call on
 her some particular evening, but he
 will ask her to arrange another date
 that will be mutually agreeable. A lyoung mans evenings are not always

WIDOW KNOWS RULES ,.
 TO DETERMINE LOVE

T. c. W. writes: T know well this space is not for misgivings. I am a
 young widow, domesticated. Never
 idle, as I am an only child. I received Ia letter from a would-be suitor which
 impressed me favorably, as he did. Ev-
 erything this young man regards just suits me. If he knew me better he
 might care for me. Our correspond
 ence is not too sentimental, but pleas ant. Just thought you may kindly an- swer if letters bring love?''
 If your worthy correspondent proves all he should be, next you will have
 to invite him to call frequently. The
 test of love will then be determined
 after a while. A widow has not to be told rules she has learned.

 TODAY'S POEM ~~~~~~~
THE LIGHTS.

THE LIGHTS. I know the ships that pass by day; guess their business, grave or gay, And spy their flags, and learn their
 names And. whence they, come and where
 they go- But in the night I only know Some little steady, starry flames And yet I think these jeweled lights Have meanings full as monday sights; ;.
 And every ruby rich and clear Proclaims them putting out to sea. And all the yellow diamonds set On mast and deck and hull in jeE Have meanings real as day can show.

Shaw Didn't Lik. Him.elf.

4 Many years ago in house in Ash

An impulse of rage at this insult was checked just in time By the discovery that instead of walk ' ing along . corridor was crossing a
 square landing and that the detestable
 apparition who had chilled my very
 soul with his abominable aspect was
 . reflection of myself in the wall of
 mirror which the tenant of the Ashley
 Gardens hat had put up to give his
