ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

The first woman to be given the
freedom of the House of Representa-
tives was Elizabeth Thompson, who
was born in Lyndon, VT, 81 years
ago today. 1t was in recognition of
her purchase and presentation to
Congress of Francis B. Carpenters
painting, 1.-The Signing of the Eman-
cipation Proclamation by President
Lincoln in the Presence of His Cabi-
net" that the honor was conferred
upon her. Mrs. Thompson was the
daughter of Samuel Rowen. a Yer
mont farmer, and at the age of nine
she became a servant girl. She de-
veloped into woman of remarkable
beauty, and acquired a good educa-
ton, chiefly by her own efforts. While
visiting Boston, when she was p
years old, she attracted the attention
of Thomas Thompson, millionaire.
They were married within a year.
When Mr.. Thompson died his widow
inherited the income of his immense
estate. She gave large sums of money
to various causes. and became the
first patron of the American Society
for the Advancement of Science. Mrs.
Thompson founded the town of Long
mont, Cplo., giving each colonist $40
acres of land and $500. She died in
1899.

DECL ARES She HAS
NO FEAR FOR SEX
Women of England Are
Now Virtually Assured
of Vote.
DISCUSS WHAT WILL
BE DONE WITH IT
Vote Will Give English
Women Rightly Won
Positions.

London, February 20, -(Corres-
pondence of The Associated Press):
Now that the women of England
virtually are assured of the vote, a
discussion has arisen as to what they
will do with it after the war.
Approval by Parliament Of the new
Franchise Bill, which before the war
undoubtedly would have been the sig
nal for a great feminine demonstra-
ton, elected far less excitment than
the average street queue which forms
now adays in front of a corner groc-
cry shop.
While the mere mention of the in
PRODUCTION of such a measure former
ly would have been flashed across the
front page of all the great English
newspapers, its enactment into law
now commands only passing notice
and its relative Importance to the
other news of the day is so slight
that the average reader might easily
overlook it altogether.
What does it all mean?" the hard
headed, once uncompromising Eng
ishman is asking.
1T MEANS" says Miss Marie COreIi,
the novelist, that woman's work after
the war, will be very much on the
straight and simple lines Of nature
love, sweetness and home! That's all
woman's work. which she is just now
compelled to neglect-but only to
cling to it more when the madness of
the nations is past"
Americans who, before the war,
were wont to seek out the places of
historic interest in Shakespeare
town, never failed to pause when
they come upon the beautiful vine
covered house which Miss CorelH has
occupied for some years
Miss Corelli declares she has nc
fear for her sex.
1.-THE wheel goes round always. you
know, and in time stops at the same
old place" asserts the novelist with
emphatic assurance. "Grace, co,
quetry. pretty apparel, and all the
dainty sweet things of womanliness
will come back again agair

ETIQUETTE

1t is the place of the young man to
suggest a correspondence whether the
boy or the girl is the one departing.
If the girl goes away, the boy may
ask her to write to him, or he may
write to her and request an answer.
II the boy goes away he should write
first.
Cynthia-You should send your en-
graved wedding invitations to your
brother and his wife, and to all rela-
tives whom you wish to see at the
wedding, excepting those who live in
your home. The exceptions would be
your mother and father, and any sis
ters or brothers living in your faith
er's house. You must also send them
to your bridesmaids, to the minister
and his wife, and to the parents, sis
tiers and brothers Of the bridegroom.
No matter if all these people are in
some way included in the ceremony
and festivities, and understand per-
fectly we'll that they are expected to
be presenter perhaps because OF
this-it would be a serious discourtesy
not to send them formal invitations
It would be very bad form to send
but one invitation to the club of girls
20 which you belong; you must sene
them individual invitations.

"I have seen great deal OF

that they hardly need tho polling
