Women Writers Advantaue.

The woman writer was comparing men and women authors. we wom- en have an advantage over the male writer's" she said. Because if the muse refuses to be wooed we can in differently turn to knitting a sock or trimming a hat, which is the surest way to bring the muse to terms. l know an author, man, who says he goes to his study for three hours every day at exactly the same time. He says that sometimes he will spend most of that time staring at sheet of paper with not an idea in his head. Now, I think that Is a wicked waste of time, and the muse is probably giggling at him.
 "When my time for writing comes and I try to set apart a certain pc riod of every day-if no ideas come just seize my stocking bag and darn up a few holes, or I cut out pretty dress for my kiddie, or I knit 20 rows. And then the ideas begin to rush into my head thick and fast. Yes, we women certainly know how to handle the muse better than the men folk-for we know that nothing will get her attention quicker than in- difference and neglect" t"-Springfiel Union

told her mother and Louise of what she had gained in knowledge. She kept a notebook.
 "Just think" said she, "I didn't know how a table should be set; nor where to seat the guest of honor, and these are important things to know. I am taking down the names of the kinds of china the Mertons have.
 'Then, too, Mrs. Merton is chairman of the art department in the woman's club, and she told me lot of things that they study. For instance: know, now, that know nothing about pictures and I know John doesn't; so we won't have any pictures in our house until we learn something about them"
 "You have the rest of your lives to select pictures" said Mrs. Mangan. 'so I think you are wise there."
 "Mrs. Merton Is going to borrow some of the papers that members of the class have written and let me read them. Then I have access to all her art books. My notebook is nearly full now and have been there only five weeks"
 And your clothes are going to be lovely" said Mrs. Mangan, happily.
 'I think you're the cleverest thing, Allie," exclaimed Louise.
 And I am not working any harder than if 1 were home. I have ihore money for clothes and all this house. keeping knowledge besides. Then too, shall know how to manage a maid know how she should dress, wait on table and answer the door. I feel equal to my beautiful home now"
 The 9th of September and Alice's wedding day arrived. John came with his parents and met the bride with Louise, the bridesmaid, and their mother at the church. There was a beautiful though simple wedding and no reception aftcrward.
 The bride in going-away gown and hat left with her husband for the mountains immediately after the cere- mony. Mr. and Mo. Shuler left at the same time for Oxbridge. It had been a perfect day!
 That same evening Louise remarked to her mother: II shouldn't be sur prised if Allie male John governor of the state some day"
 q should be more surprised if she didn't" calmly replied the mother.

False Economy in Words.

The insistent call for economy should not apply to the use of words, according to Lady Helen Munro Fer guson, wife of the GovernOr-General of Australia, who has been warning the students of the Presbyterian Ladies college in New South Wales not to make one word take the place of half a dozen others. "If you fail in the attempt to do something, you may perhaps say it is 'rottea,' when you only mean that it is tiresome; or, per haps, some person may be just decent when all the time you mean she is kind," remarked Lady Helen. And she added that the use of one word on oc- casiOns where it had no proper place would simpl" give the nearer a de- pressing idea of the capacity of the speaker. Read good literature, learn good poetry, do things in the best way possible" was the kindly advice which accompanied the lecture on slang.

Allie. dear you look worried"

Allie, dear, you look worried"
 ''I am worried, mother"
 "Why, what have you to be worried about? You're young and pretty and engaged to John Shuler, the finest young man in the world"
 "It's this, mother: John has always moved in the best circles both at his home and at the university, and we have lived so simply here-pinching nickels-that I won't know how to manage the beautiful home he is build- ing for us."
 You'll learn, dear, and I will tell you everything I know. I had nice home once."
 "Yes, I know, mother, but telling isn't seeing. I lack the practical knowledge of everyday usage. We've mostly eaten out of boxes, we've been so busy"
 "1hat's true enough, Allie."
 Mrs. Mangan and her daughter were sewing in their tiny living room during this conversation. Two weeks before Alice had finished her first year in col lege. While there she had met John Shuler and it was love affair at first. Alice was working her way through college by being an assistant teacher.
 Her mother left a widow with two little girls when very young, had made a brave fight to educate her children. Alice had been a wonderful help with the hOusework and sewing, and later with tutoring.
 Things were looking much better for them now, as Mrs. Mangan had been

WOMAN'S RIGHT TO PROPOSE
Following War Have Mace Old Ideas Lock Foolish.

Among the last rights of women to be fought is the right to propose.
 It is the inevitable consequence of the vote and of the war. The position Of woman with regard to marriage has entirely changed, and the sooner it is recognized the better. Up till now nice women have properly not pro- posed, because it meant virtually: Will you keep me?'
 Now that a woman can be as inde- pendent as a man she need have no scruples on that score. "A Girl From the War" writes in the continental edition of the London Mail.
 In every other direction the position of men and women. with regard to marriage. is equal. It is quite ridicu lous that it should be an honorable thing in a man to love woman who does not return his affection, and yet be a disgrace to . woman to love un- asked. A proposal from the man clears the air, and 1t would be the same with one from the woman.
 In the present condition of things a woman often wastes the best years of her life on hope. It would be much better if she could say in the begin ming: '1 like you. ;sd if you like me aS much as like you, let us spend our lives together" It would be quite sim pie for the man to reply. if he were 0f different mind: 'I am sorry. Of course, I like you, but I do not feel like @uing into partnership"
 The woman would then put him out of her mind and go about her business. Broken hearts heal in time, and 1t is l.J>sible that hearts would never get beyond the wounded stagt If this plan were adopted.
 There is a serious reason why it should be adopted. Some badly wound ed men are feeling much as if they haC changed places with the women. They do not have to say, "Will you keep me?" when they propose, but what to them is almost as bad, "Will you keep yourself?"
 It would be a great relief to many a crippled man in love if proposals were taken out of mems hands.
 In the present circumstances no nice girl could bring herself to propose. however willing she is to keep herself. however much she loves the man.
 There is no need to fear that the new right would give added license to the other kind of girl. She proposes now, although not in so many words.

DIDN'T STAND TEST
Readers Caustic Criticism Of
 Modern Heroine.
They Lack the "Homey' Qualities of the Characters in the Pages of Dickens, Is One Thing He
 Has Notceo

Doctor Pedbury picked up the gay ly bound novel that lay on his patients counterpane.
 "Wsll, HOsea," he inquired. "how's the light literature prescription work ing? Good story? Mighty pretty girl on the cover, anyhow"
 "Ain't read 1t and ain't a-going to-" declared Hosea progressively. Girls pretty enough, but no three hundred pages of her doin's for me- She don't stand the test. They don't any of 'em Cover or frontispiece; there's only two sorts of 'em, and I don't like either. ain't pertick'ler whether they're tall or short. skinny or dimply, gypsyish or light complected; but do want 'em nice, likable-lookin' sort of humans and they ain't. You put 'em to the button test, and it downs eln."
 "The button test? What's that?" asked Doctor Pcdbury
 "Oh, 1 S'pOSe there's others" admit ted Hosea, "but that's the easiest; jest s'poSe feller wants |; button sewed on wants it right off. We'll, he hangs his coat on his arm and goes to one
 
 says he. I want to wear this coat. there's a button off. Can you fix it?' We'll" Hosea displayed the imperial beauty on the book cover-"jest look at her, doc. You know what she says without me tellin' ye. Base slave be- gonen or 'Minion, avaunt ? or Tmpert- nent Rube, go ask your grandmother! or some little thing of that sort. That's the general idee; that's the way Gwen dOlen Gertrude looks.
 And there's lots to her-chin up, head back, eyes shut; handsome crit tsrs; but gosh! who'd want to ask a favor of 'em?-'less by telephone, sos he could drop the receiver quick before he got an answer. We'll, that's some folks idee of lovely heroine, s'pose but it aint mine.

Elsie Maree, she laughs prAttv and shows nice teeth and says pleas ant, Why, yes, of course: only she's got engagements up to the middle of next week, and, anyways, the buttons she sews ain't warranted to stay on mOre'n an hour or so; so maybe. after all 'twould be as we'll to ask some body else. Well, that's Elsie Maree; and she ain't my notion of a lovely heroine, either.
 "Heroines were different when I was young. Dickens heroineS. now they was real nice and lovabIe besides bein' pretty, and their picters looked it. That little Dot woman with the baby, and that Ruth girl that made the beef steak puddin'-they'd ha' stood the button test all right.
