SHELLEY'S WIFE.

Mary Wollstonecraft Goodwin, who
later became the wife of the poet
Shelley, and the daughter of Mary
Wollstonecraft, author Of the "Vindi-
cation of the Rights Of Women" died
60 years ago today. Her mother was
a noted radical and revolutionist, and
a writer of great ability. She attacked
the institution of marriage with great
vigor, but after several tragic ex-
periences of ''free unions, she be-
came the legal wife of William God
win. She died in 1897, in giving birth
to her daughter Mary. After her
mothers death she lived with her
father and half-sister Fanny, who
was born during Mary Wollstonecraft's
unlegalized union with Gilbert INLAY,
an American merchant. Poor Fanny
killed, herself about a century ago,
because of unrequitted affection for
Shelley, who was gin intimate OF
Goodwin. In 1916 Mary went to
Switzerland with Shelley, who did not
care for his wife, and there they were
Joined by Lord Byron and his mis-
tress, Claire Goodwin. another half
sister of Mary, who, early in 1917,
gave birth to a child, Of which Byron
was the reputed father. Shelley
wife having committed suicide, Mary
became the legal wife of the poet, to
whom she had already given a son.
1t was in 1917 that Mrs. Shelley wrote
her great novel, "Frankenstein," and,
after the death Of her immortal hus-
band in 1922 she wrote several other
novels.

FRENCH JOURNAL
PRAISES WOMEN
OF THIS COUNTRY
Says They Have Proved
Themselves Unlike Ac.
copied Descriptions.

Paris, Feb. 1.-The American wo.
man will come out of this war under
an aspect entirely different from that
hitherto given to her by French writ
ers and critics." says the Temps.
For SO years she was presented to
us by our romancers, and dramatic
authors, as an opulent beauty, of ex-
travagant wealth, with a madness for
expenditure, with eccentric tastes and
life of audacity.
did they really imagine that these
little nervous and eccentric beings
that they presented to us, spoiled
children Of immensely wealthy fam
lilies, always agitated, thirsting for
pleasure and noise, were the only
American women? To those who
have not the leisure to cross the
ocean, and who content themselves
with, observing the American women
among US, the war will have unveiled
the real visage Of many of them.
at will be perceived that their
ardor to live may also be an ardor
to make live, passion for devotion
to suffering; that the mania of agi-
tation, that need for "bustle," as they
call it, may become the most beauti-
full of activities when it is animated
by the spirit of charity. 1t will be
perceived that extravaganza in alb
surd expenditures may be changed in
to sumptuous largesse for good.
''The observer will have seen
nurses animated with the most per-
feet spirit of sacrifice, passing their
time at the bedsides of our wounded
women 'putting in common their re-
sources to succor the inhabitants Of
invaded regions; others utilizing their
spirit Of initiative in the organization
Of charitable works, some traversing
France to distribute clothing toNrefu-
gees, others employed in the hospitals
right up at the front, and all of them
rivalling each other in ardor, gen.
crosby and devotion The observers
will then understand that the idea
they had made for themselves of the
American woman, the idea populariz-
ed under the auspices of the theatre
and the romance, was decidedly at
fault. They will certainly seize the
occasion offered to them, not only to
rectify an inexact type in our litera-
| ture, but to find among American wo-
men new figures perfectly true and
| moving. Both literature and truth
can only gain thereby"

PHYSICAL TRAINING AND
BUSINESS SUCCESS.

College life is looked at by the
ordinary run of people as a soft snap,
a sheltered, protected, leisurely life.

He may not burn much midnight

a varsity team he will submit to a

would call barbarous.
Looking over the regulations for a
college team, it was noted the other
day that the boys must be in bed at
10 p. m. Sweets, fried foods, and
many other commonplace Of the

young men in business would thus
limit themselves for the prize of bus

Business failures are very apt to

HUMANE SOCIETY
FOR RESTRICTING
NUMBER OF CATS

The need Of awakening a strong
ity in favor of a reasonable restric-
ton in the multiplication of cats, the
frank acceptance Of the responsible
ties Of ownership and a willingness
to pay the slight necessary expense in
volved for the humane destruction
of the cats when no longer wanted,
were advocated by President William
DeLoss Love of the Connecticut HUI
name Society in a report submitted
to the annual meeting of the society
held yesterday.

1900 deer have been killed in the
state since August, 1915, under the
present law. Among conflicting inter-
ests,' the report said, "a law satisfac-
tory to all can hardly be expected, and
it is not easy to determine impartial
ly what is the best law. It seems
evident hiatt such wholesale slaugh-
ter will always occur, whenever per-
sons are allowed to shoot deer, as in
the present law, after a long closed
season. In such season, the deer
become tame, and are suddenly sur
prised by a general onslaught. 1t
must be admitted that as they become
tame, the damage to the farmer
crops and to young orchards increas-
es. Without doubt, the farmer
should be reimbursed by the. state for
such damages. In this case, how
ever, and if. he is permitted to kill
a deer found actually injuring his
crops, he should be required to re-
port the killing; and turn over the
| carcass to . the state, thus removing
the motive for killing a deer, on slight
pretenses."

Anti -Suffragist
Organization Adds
To It's Membership

(HeadQuarters Press Committee, Con-

Woman Suffrage.)
Reports from the many branches
of the Connecticut Association Oppos-
ed to Woman Suffrage made at the
monthly meeting of the board Of
managers in Hartford this week
showed gratifying increase in mem
Dersh1p for the last month, and the
sentiment expressed in the reports
was one Of confidence in the spread
of the feeling against woman suffrage
among the women themselves. With
the question, to come before the legis
lative, judiciary committee this sea-
sion, the officers of the anti-suffrage
association are beginning already to
prepare statistics showing just how
great is the demand for the vote
among the women of Connecticut
With the backing of an organization
OF over 10000 members the anti-suf-
frage advocates will go before the
committee with perfect confidence in
the truth OF their arguments with
facts drawn from the history Of the
woman-suffrage votes in elections in
various states of the Union during the
past three years, and an assurance
that they can make the committee
men feel that the demand for the suf-
frage comes from but a small minor

branches of the anti-suffrage associa-
ton in the towns and cities about the
state, the Champaign Of education"
goes steadily forward. To these meet
ings the members bring friends, who

ment against suffrage among the
women themselves, and there are talks
and lectures in which a primer of

| result that non-members, their eyes

mand" for suffrage, change their at
titude from one of indifference to the
question and register their names as

quarters in Hartford, accounting for
the gain of so large number of mem

steadily increasing roll which moves
with the present year.
| Reports received a. the Connecticut

concerning the "silent picketing" of
the suffragists at Washington indicate

that the suffragists, believing that this
method of attracting the attention OF
the President is !on the wane, are
planning other methods to be put into
effect at the Inauguration, if not
sooner if the debate on the constitu-
tional amendment comes before Con
gress prior to that time. Having
