to them. 1t may be some time :fore
women will make this new power felt
AS something to be carefully reck-
oned with.
About the first thing that concerns
them is familiarity with questions that
are vitality interesting to them as citi-
zens-and as women. They have had
much experience in women's clubs and
through them have brought about
many noteworthy reforms. 1t is
through these already established or
CARNATIONS that they can carry on
campaigns Of education for them
selves and for others. Regardless Of
this or that party, women must make
up their minds as to what sort Of
legislation they want and then under
take to get it by means Of political
parties. In local and In national af.
fairs they must first inform themselves
as to worthwhile issues and help to
inform others. It is a game of public
ity-the spreading Of information.
keeping an eye on the performance of
men in Office and public officials Of all
sorts and keeping informed, through
newspapers and magazines on policies
that are beneficial for all the people.
Any one at all familiar with the
teamwork done by women in their
clubs and various organizations, will
acknowledge that they are always in
terested in benevolences; therefore it
is safe to assume that they will under
take to reform abuses and to institute
various improvements when they be-
come convinced that they are needed.
1t appears that the thing most useful
to them at this time. is as clear an
understanding as possible of the planks
Of the two great political parties and
n definite knowledge of the things they
want to see accomplished, both in
their own local affairs and In national
affairs. Busy as they are, they really
have more time to devote to the study
of public questions and Of politics than
men have. for many men are too much
tied down to business, to bread win
ming, and cannot find time for any
thing outside. 1t is possible, however,
even for busy housewives, to set apart
some time for this undertaking. Their
time is their own and managed by
them, which is an immense advance.
It may fall to their lot finally to gather
and spread information that will bring
about, through the education Of public
sentiment, the things that are desira-
BILE for the welfare of human Leings.
Already certain large organizations Of
women have got together and agreed
upon certain issues that they wish t.
see placed in party platforms. The
things they have agreed to advocate
are all beneficial to themselves and to
their children and therefore to the
whole country.

The colors of the new undertakings

tradition of white for purposes Of this

colored underwear as an everyday pos

all tones and shades. and even in the
cotton materials there Is seen every
variety of tone.
On the tinted underclothes there Is

the long wooden stitches, which show
