She was Of the race Of humble and

In fact, think there are more con-
tented people than there are discon-
tented ones, but the question that
confronts the prosperous and en-
llghtened section of our country, the
question that these prosperous and
enlightened people must solve, in
wolves the welfare Of the poorer peo-
pie, the less educated folk, who are
deserving Of the support of the edu-
Gated masses, and who are entitled to
all the benefits that we can give
them.
"The enfranchisement of the
women, [ am confident, Is going to
solve many Of these problems that
now perplex the strong minds of
the nation. The right Of suffrage
Is going to work wonders for the
women themselves. 1t is going to
give them something to think about.
1t IS going to place a responsibility
upon them that they never had be-
fore. and they will be stronger and
happier for 1t.
Women and Politics
II think 1t Is absurd to haunt
tho bugaboo that all women are TO
become politicians merely because
the generous male voters Of the
country have given them the fran

expect that all women will become
politicians than 1t Is to say that all
men are politicians. 1t has been =
most difficult problem throughout

"That is interesting" mumbled
Bernard, who had become calm.
His vanity was awakened without
his knowing it. He saw himself
already in stage dress, like a Greek

He didn't add that he found a
secret pleasure in the thought of
humiliating Alinettc once more-by
leaving her at home.
The spectacle unrolled in an e,,-

all the spectators and reduced them
to absolute silence.

Broadway, and in collaboration
with the same busy accomplice she
now has two more plays in the
making.
In addition to the foregoing, which
embraces program that is to pro-
cecd unchecked, Mrs. Rinehart writes
special articles when editors demand
thenl--and they do that frequently
and on the side, away from the
literary realm altogether, she works
zealously in the women's counci! of
the we'll known Republican party
and does large share OF the prac-
tical planning in numerous welfare
schemes, which some people might
define as upllft movements, although
upllft is word that Mrs. Rinehart
thinks ought to be cast out of the die
tionary for all time.

boy was we'll out Of the nursery an

was called The Circular Staircase.
This book she wrote largely in the

unparalleled fame and q fortune.

Mary Roberts Rinehart, "and when

"You have raised some big oues-
