 No, Mss Lorimer. I'm neither for nor against. I simply do not care to vote. That's alll'
 Chrys laughed, but quite agreeably, as she said:
 Now. that is just exactly what some other clever women are saying, Miss Caryl. They do not see that the very thing they call their neutrality is of itself political conviction! If you do not vote. Miss Caryl, you are so much dead weight to your state, to your community-a person to be legis- lated for, by others.

 The politicians have already found few who will not fail,' I said. I've read that 100,0 900 women speakers from all walks of life will take the stump this fall to support one or another of the presidential candidates!

 "Oh, dear! oh, dear." said little girl in a blue silk dress. Her name was May and she had blond hair and deep blue eyes.
 T don't see why mother dressed me up. Oh, dear | just knew it would rain or something would happen on my birthday: and I don't see why mother won't let me go into the parlor. The chairs there are so nice and soft and pretty, and these are so hard and ugly"
 Just yesterday she had sad the chairs in the parlor were ugly and those in the living room were pretty. But we'll not blame her as we some times forget, too.
 "Oh. dear, oh! dear." Saying this she began to cry softly to herself.
 It seems that May was very fond of saying, Oh, dear and of fiding fault with everything.
 She sat up suddenly in her seat, but fell back, as she said with sigh, T guess I just imagined that I heard some of my friends speaking"
 Another moment or two passed. She could hear the clock go, Trick, tack, tick over and over again. "Oh, hear. I would be very tired if l had to say, Tick tack, tick" all the time. wonder if the clock gets tired-' She went and looked in the looking glass. "Oh, dear!
