SOCIAL AND CLUB NEWS AND ACTIVITIES OF WOM

philanthropies they are apt to make
money go further; in clubs they pride
themselves on making the two ends meet.
1 doubt If any of the women's clubs in
this city lives beyond its means. for in
stance; and I also doubt IL any of the
mems clubs is living within its. w. l..
George thinks that women will be less
readily tempted by money-that. of
course, will depend largely on her po-
sition in life. Anatole France claims
that the rich exhibit over the poor this
moral superiority, that they neither beg
in the street nor steal bread. Her
temptation, however, will be in the d.
rection of preferments or Of power-es-
pecially the latter.
The American woman, as a rule, is still
at the stage where she can be flattered
and cares immensely for the baubles OF
life rather than for its realities. But al
ready she is reaching out for the latter.
When she Graves real power-the power
that dictates rather than the glory that
appears-men may well look to them
selves, for the American woman has
just won a great fight and she is about
to realize her strength.
The fault in her panoply, where she
may be stabbed, however, lies in her
womanhood itself. Will women play fair
with each other and show united front;
or will they split up in petty personal
or party politics? If the latter, they
will woefuIly fail to make an impress
sion on the moral and political history
of our world. Which is worse, they Will
lose their great opportunity for good
and in time will subside to be lost in
the great mass of voters who don't vote
or of those who are responsible for pub
lie affairs and hold office, but have no
real power. That would be an ignoble
ending to a noble fight of nearly a cen
fury.

the standpoint of what we have claimed
would be the value of women representa-
tives of their sex in Congress, Miss Ran
kin was not distinct success. She came
and she went and left no trace. II was
her misfortune that her necessarily I'M
ripe judgment in international afafirs
should have been called upon on her ar
rival in Congress to pass on the most
momentous question that has ever come
before it. 1t was perhaps hardly to be
expected that she could rise to the &C.
casion. A stronger and more brilliant
mind might have seized upon the oppor-
tunity to do so-might have seen that in
an hour of extreme national crisis normal
values must adapt themselves to Con-
gress' responsibility for the general safe
ty and the national honor
Miss Rankin remained the good woman
she is; but she did not even heroically
stand by her personal convictions, to
which she was willing to sacrifice the
dignity of the flag-for she faltered and
she wept.
But all this is a depression.
1t is not to be expected that women
elected to office under the same boss
system and through the same occult
agencies as control mems elections shall
be very, If at all, different from the men
in office so elected. Doubtless many of
the men we severely criticize for their
falls from grace would be admirable
officers under a respectable system. If
women are elected on their merits be-
cause they understand the job for which
they are slated better than any other
man or woman-or as the case may be,
because of superior knowledge and I'M
Outstanding of civic affairs and are
elected because they have the confidence
of the majority of men and women COM

not more honest than men, all other
, things being even.

Two seasons ago she visited in Mobile
as the guest at that time of Mrs. Julian

= OF very long ago I read a story

N DOT very long ago I read story
lW in popular magazine. relative to
women and politics; it was writ
ten by The well-known Englishman, w.
L. George, and it brought out the point
very conclusively-
''Will women in politics be more honest
than menu"
A little later 1 read an article writ
ten by Peggy Shipper of the Philadel-
phia Ledger on the subject of this ar
ticle by Mr., George which I think is very
well worth reproducing, because of its
originality and it's purpose.
Peggy Shipper says:
''W. L. Georges article suggests among
other things what effect will the arrival
of women on the political stage in this
country have on the political life of the
nation? In England many more or
less witty jokes are being made on the
subject which the cartoonist especially
finds a fruitful field. The woman M. p.
is represented, during a debate, busy
powdering her dainty proboscis! While
her sister member is doing fancy work.
Now, am glad to find that w. L. George
disapproves of these cartoons. Neither
of US believes that women who will care
to run for Congress will powder their
noses or even do fancy work during
debate. The writer Of the article is
full of wisdom on the eternal feminine,
assures US that the woman legislator
will not become a legislator unless she
possesses some virile quality and declares
with prophetic daring that, while she will
approximate to man, her Influence in
Congress will be rather different "she
will probably import. as did Miss Ran

BIRDS EFFORTS TO DECEIVE
Pathetic Deception Practlced by Moth
Or Of Brood In Her Attempt to
Save Her Young.

It has been pointed out that the
military tactics which a commander
may employ to deceive the enemy are
practiced In a limited way by many
birds.
There is nothing more interesting In
the study of bird life than the efforts
to deceive which many species put
forth to save their young or their nests
from the despoiler. They iutter just
In front Of the trespasser to attract
his notice, and then they trail of with
a broken wing dragging on the
ground, emitting cries Of distress.
The bobwhite Commonly called
Quail) is a most notable tactician In
this kind Of deception. This bird is
physically helpless in the face OF dan
ger, possessing no weapons. Its power
Of swift flight for a short distance Is
great, but when there are little bob
whites to protect, the mother Will not
leave them. The nest is always on the
ground, and the eggs are thus peculiar
ly open to the ravages of snakes and
other enemies.
There are sometimes a score of eggs,
sharply pointed at one end and round
at the other, so that space in the nest
is economical. The chicks quit their
birthplace before they arc fairly out OF
the shell.
They inherit a knowledge Of the
family vernacular, and each little head
about the size Of a pea, holds quick
perception and ~resolute will. Ii Ian
ger threatens the brood, the mother
bird calls. The young all go dead"
Instantly they drop down wherever
they chance to be at the moment. A
man or a boy might step on them;
they are almost invisible among the
dry leaves and grass. The mother bird
renders herself very conspicuous, nut
tering with a broken wing"
The mourning dove Is another umio
and helpless creature; she also tries
the broken wing use to divert dan
ger from her nest. The dove acquired
the "broken wing habit" Of deception
while the tribe yet nested on the
ground. The habit persists. although
rather ludicrous when exercised on the
Dough of a tree or on the top OF q
rail fence.
