TINY WOMEN'S WOES

81 never used to find lack of size
trouble" sighed the tiny woman with
the high heels and the upstanding
feather. an fact, I've always believed
that if woman can't be pretty she'd
better be small. because nothing 50
brings out mans latent chivalry as to
see a pocket size woman trying to act
full sized"
"Why this gloom?" queried the wo-
man with the humorous mouth and
the kind, shrewd eyes. And why that
wistful stress upon mans chivalry"
What if there are few men left to pay
attention to us? We can open our
own doors and pay our own car fare
and carry our own parcels and be each
others escorts"
That's the very thing I complain

to the position which Luxembourg had
been made to occupy as a vassal of
Germany.
1t was not so with the people, and
nothing could better have served to fan
into flame the unrest existing amongst
them than the assumption of this at :
titude by the grand duchess in the
face of the treatment which had been
heaped upon them. The demand for
new government. in view of the
wave OF democracy which has been
spreading over Europe, is therefore
not surprising. Rather is it to be
looked upon as the natural conclu-
sion, but whether Luxembourg will en-
deavor to struggle along as a gov
crnment by itself or whether it will
seek union which France remains to
be seen. 1t is quite evident that there
will be no thought of linking up with
any of the German states.
