Haines Suffers Serious Ill-turn

One of Madisons foreign families had
an experience recently that they will
not soon forget and which has given
them a desire to know the language of
their adopted country. A member of the
family went to a grocery store to pur-
chase a bottle of vinegar and was Civ
en- what he supposed was the article
asked for. He took the bottle home and
with other members of the family used
it for such things as vinegar is ordin-
arily used
The whole family became i'll and after
a bit Of investigation decided their ill
ness was due to the contents Of the bot
tie. As soon as he was able the per-
son who made the purchase took the
bottle back to the store and said the
vinegar was not good The clerk read
the label and found that instead of Civ
ing his customer bottle of vinegar as
he intended he had given him a prepara-
ton for bleaching clothes which sat
close by the vinegar.
The first meeting in Madison of the
present campaign for woman suffrage

DOES SHE SHUT HER EYES?
Watch and See the Next Time You Kiss
Pretty Girl

A distinguished forum fighter recent
ly propouneed a question which seems
TO us Of the greatest psychological ard
pathological interest-namely, why
does girl shut her eyes when a fell
| low kisses heo
Having but the most meagre expert
ence in such matters, we were con-
strained, in the pursuit of knowledge,
to seek information from others. A
cuffragette, whom we supposed knew
everything and would be quite disin-
terested. seemed to be somewhat vexed
at our polite inquiry, and replied:
I'm sure | have not the slightest
idea. unless the girl is ashamed Of
being such a silly fool as to kiss the
brute
From a young wife came this curl
Gus answer
She is thinking. ".Oh. Lord. how
have been cheated"
Pursuing the investigation further
among q number Of young women who
presumably knew something Of the
subject. we got answers as these:
IF YOU have ever seen a male mug
at close range-or ever looked in a
mirror-you ought TO understand why
she shuts her eyes"
Perhaps for the same reason that
men like 10 be blindfoldad before they
are shot or have to face any other
horrible ordeal"
But one sweet young thing. made up
OF loveliners alone, answered the
question with melting eye and a rapt
expression:
'Ah, it's because she is drugged. in
toxics ted by the sweetness and Joy Of
it."
Puzzled by this diversity Of female
opinion. we appealed to a somewhat
stockingly gay old blade Of our ac-
quairtance as to why girls shut their
eyes.
Answer is-they don't" he replied
