BEING FAT is REAL TRAGEDY
To Modern Woman II 10 Worry That
Frequently leads to Ruined
Health and Insanity.

A fat man Is usually a jolly sort OF
as the same sort OF n joke as the
world considers him. Girth. says the
New York Sun, may worry man oc'
caslOnally because 1t Is an annoyance.
but with the modern woman 1t verges
upon tragedy. AS physicuns-if they
would talk freely-can tell you, 1t Is
a worry to them that frequently leads
to ruined health. insanity or the
grave.
It Is possible for man to grow
fat gracefully. At least he can sub
due his habits. stop running for
trains. give up his golf and spend
most of his time In ponderous poses.
Ills tailor can easily arrange his
clothing Into well-known and accept
ed lines.
The case OF the woman Is different.
Fashion binds her as with n chain.
There are no stylish frocks for stout
women. The fashion Of today calls
for slim figures and trim ankles.
Waists and hips are taboo. There are
no sleeves capable OF concealing over
fieshed arms. Man can adapt his
clothes to his figure, but woman must
adapt hc- figure to the clothes. or else
shnmeIessly admit that she cannot
wear what is fashionable.
It was not always so. In another
generation the stout woman had well
defined pInce-the "dOwaser type. II
was sometimes called. The woman
who made the best biscuits ana
cooked the most savory chicken was
always rotund sort OF person VIII"
never minded 1t when people came
unexpectedly around dinner time She
was the one children fiocked to Tor
sympathy and the one who seemed
to make the world brighter wherever
she went.

FINLAND: WHERE WOMEN

Victory for woman suffrage In the
United States adds interest to the ex-

won the franchise by their part In qui-
citing labor troubles similar to those
which now assnil the United States.
Incidentally, Finland was one Of the
first portions Of the old Russian EN-.
rIre to set up constitutional govern

The advent and progress OF suffrage
In Finland is described in com.n,lni-

ciety by Baroness Alettn Korff as fol-
lows:
"From an educational point Of view
the women Of Finland have been very
fortunate. as there are many excellent
schools for girls and number of CO.
educational schools throughout the
country which prepare students for
the university examinations. Girls
were admitted to the university in
1878. and. until the war interviewed,

"There were several salads. These
they ate with forks. for II is not con

to put the little instrument In the

we're less adroit than the others,

able to get to their mouths.
"Afterward n great silver basin and

the guests washed their hands. though
II seems ms IL there would not be much

they had touched their food only with

RUMANIA: PAWN OF MANY

Rumania, which has attracted atten-
tion recently because OF the visit OF
Prince Carol to this country, has been
center OF European war storms for
u thousand years.
Peter the Great once established n
protpctorntc over the Kumnninns and
Catherine the Great later advanced
n plan for the annexation OF their ter
riiory to Russia. Fearing that such
territorial expansion might be n men,
nee to her, Austria persuaded Gather
inc 10 abandon that plan.
Rumnnln. ms we now know 1t. was
formed from Moldnvin and Wnlachia
in 1861. Previously these princIpnli-
ties had been under Turkish suscr-
nnty. following AustrIn's protest

tonomy being guaranteed by the pow
crs which agreed to the union Of the
municipalities, following the C-imcnn
war. RumanIans chose an army officer.
Col. Alexander Curzn. as their ruler.
His title was Alexander John !. prince
Of Rumanin.
When. seven years later. the element
in power ut bucharest decided for
change Of rulers there were few for.
malities. Invading the princes bed
room by night. leaders OF the group
presented certificate OF abdication 10
he signed. and then bundled him In n
carriage and put him aboard nm OK
press for Paris.
The count Of Flanders. brother to
King Leopold of Belgium. was chosen
by provisional government. The
powers. especially Austria. protested.
and Prince Charles (Carol). VIII" had
been an officer in the Prnssian nrmy,
was substituted. lie set about free
Ing tho country from the suZcrainty
of Turkey.
When the Russo-Tnrkish storm clouds
arose In 1873. Charles sought to have
the powers guarantee the neutrality
Of RuInanin. He failed. Then nm
agreement was reached with Russia.
Under Its terms Russian soldiers were
to have free passage through Ru-
mania. while Russia was to respect the
rights and defend the integrity OF Ru-
mania.
When the war. began I,umnnin
promptly declared herself Independent
of Turkey. As the war went on Rus
sin needed help badly and finally Ru-
mania responded to repeated appeals.
Under Prince Carol. Rumanian and M.
lied troops gained n decisive but cost
" victory before Pievnn. Ruman!nn
freedom wns recognized In the treaty
Of San Stefnno. and II furthermore
was stipulated that RumanIn was to
get the swampy country known ms

where II flows to the north. and the

arabia. territory claimed by Rumania
and in part occupied by her.
Rumanin protested bitterly against
exchange of picturesque Bessnrahln
for the ugly DohrudJa region. Russia
threatened to disarm the Rnmnnnn
army. and Prince Carol pluckiiy re-
spondcd that his army might he de-
stroycd but It never would be dis
armed.
The Russo-Turkish treaty Of San
Stefnno was overturned by the con
cress of Berlin, but Russia's aim In
Bcssnrabia was not denied. Thus

the suffrage began only In the year
1901. although In 1897 n petition had
been officially presented to the diet
Mt the request of the Finnish Wom-

1.-THE reason why so little was done
IN direct furthernnce Of the cause OF
woman suffrage between the years
1897 and 1904 Is that Just mt that time
Finland was passing through severe
political crisis.
after the outbreak OF the October
revolution In RUSSIA (19O5), n sympa-
thetic strike was declared In Finland
and several of the members of the CEN
trail committee elected by mass
meeting to manage the details of the
strike were women.
"The first action taken by the com
mittee was to close all the liquor
shops, saloons and barrooms. and to
organize n volunteer police force to
keep order. After the second day the
markets We're reopened and the strik-
ers were not allowed to cut OF the wa
