no criticism Of the Government would be

Another special gift is woman's habit
Of centring the administration Of her af-
fairs around the production and nourish-
ing Of life. Women must not surrender
these advantages in an attempt 10 make
their political service the exact duplicate
Of mans, and they must not let their
presence blind them to the one weakness
women have in politics, the lack Of expe-
perience in democracy as an impersOnal
instinct.
In discussing the weakness Of present
political methods that make a distinction
between a mans private and his public
character, she says:
"Politics is the technique Of living to-
gether. The search of to-day is not for
fixed frame Of living, but for the principle
Of elasticity. To attain this some attention
to private character is indispensable.
Rather an end must be made to the idea
that there is such thing as private char
acter, as distinguished from the sort Of
character we are expected to exhibit in
public affairs. There is only one char
acter functiOning in a private capac-
ity.
"True public spiritedness is a state Of
continual awareness Of the extent to
which other people are involved in every
Thing we TO and of their right to be COLI
sidered.
'1t is astonishing to find how many
things that we have raised to the dignity
Of political theory are really only ques-
lions of good breeding. Good breeding
is The sum Of human experience as to the
best way OF handling human situations.
It is a practice of the art of conducting
every situation so that everybody con-
cerned in it will get the best out of that
situation.

made for Us exclusively by men we should
have found this out long ago. Men think

TIHE YOUNG FOE4N CITIZEN,
Il by Mary Austin, is book that
masculine as well as feminine voters will
find well worth study. 1t is discussion
Of the problems Of democracy and of the
responsibility that Americans bear toward
n building Of the world democracy to
which our country is definitely committed.
The author insists that there must BE con-
scious preparation for citizenship as wide
as the world itself.
Nothing is so certain as that all the
world democracy We are ever going to
have will be only so much as we can use.
We cannot hope to establish it on high
plane until we have taken the measure, by
use, OF what we have on hand. Before
we are able to put our ideas into world
form we must explore the American ideal
as it is already expressed in our laws and
industries; we must test every political
privilege for its power Of increasing hu-
man welfare; we must use every political
advantage as fast as it is secured. And
we must lay this obligation, so far as it is
consistent with our institutions, equally on
every citizen"
Mrs Austin SAYS that women bring
special endowments to politics, talents chat
their previous work has given them. One
of these is womans instinct for social d.
rection, her habit of thinking the nert
thing, which enables her TO keep her ideas
in q state Of continuous mobilization.
"This capacity of intuitive Judgment is the
best thing women have TO bring to their
new undertaking, this and the things that
grow out Of it. This is what women have
10 stand on squarely; not their ability to
see the world in the way men see it, but
the importance and validity Of their see
ing it some other way"
