But What Will Miss" Hill
Say?

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
There is. believe. a way out Of

itself in over the MacMonnies group.
Civic Virtue"
The particular objection the few
women who speak for all the women
OF the big city and of the country
have against the group Is that IL ac-
cepted by the city and placed at the
appointed spot II will tend to de-
grade the sex in the eyes of tas
paser-by. Therefore il very modestIy
is suggested to those upon whom
rest the responsibility for its ac.
ceptance or rejection that a radical
change be made in the statue or thai
the work be scrapped.
There still is another way out, 10
the very modest request of these
very modest women is denied. and
that is through an exchange OF the
offending MacMonnies group for one
more in keeping with feminist ar.
tistic standards.
As II happens, we of the Capital
City have acceptable material for \
possible exchange.
Not so long ago a more or less
artistic group literally was
ganization of determined women.
and the responsible officials were
ordered to accept 1t and to provide
a suitable place among the States

public exhibition.
This last group represented three
OF the pioneers of woman suffrage
emerging head first from the fog 1T
mist or bedrock of male mismanage-
ment of all mundane things into the
pure. scented atmosphere of the
matriarchate.
The public OF Washington and the
thousands attracted here were eX-
pected to enthuse over this feminist
masterpiece, but enthusiasm so far
has failed to materialize. Many come
to pray and remain to snicker.
AS evidence that II is not wanted
and never has been, the feminist
group has been shifted from pillar
to post and back again. a particu-

but as well by the few who by mere
chance bump into it and vainly try
/ to figure what it all is about
We at the Nations Capital would
, prefer that the group representing
the holy trinity of suffrage find a
more congenial atmosphere and that
something a trifle more artistic take
its place.
As we certainly are dissatisfied
with what we have and our great
neighbor to the northeast finds it,
self in like trouble. it may he pos
: sible TO make an even exchange. so
that each may get what it wants.
Therefore. it is suggested that the
officials of New York he approached
by our authorities. with a view to
( transferring MacMonnies Civic Vir-
tue. <sight unseen" to Washington,
our suffrage group to go to New
York.
In that way all and sundry will
be satisfied: the women OF both
sections will get just what they
want. and pickering that may result
in open warfare between the sexes
of the respective cities will be
avoided for the present

What Is Love.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
Does love cause jealousy?
What is love?
If every heart and every nature
were fashioned after the same model,
these questions could be easily an
.,wered.
With some hearts to love deeply Is
to suffer. for they exact a love in re-
turn as intense as they give. To
such beings love is tryant, a cruelty.
a succession of heart burnings. a tor
ture more pitiful than the rack: for
il Is almost always accompanied by
the pangs Of jealousy. the most un-
welcome guest that ever found lodg-
ment in a human heart, for IL Is, DIFF
ficult to oust him once he becomes
a tenant. To be loved by such a
nature is like the blossoming of the
rose upon life's vine. But beware; {;
take care; IL has its hidden thorns
despite its delightful fragrance. In
dealing with such a love the one
beloved must exercise continual
vigilance.
1t Is dangerous to show the most
ordinary courtesy at times to one OF
the opposite sex lest you inflict tor
ture as cruel as death to the one who
loves you; for a smile. an admiring
glance toward another. pleasant

We believe that reasonably good understand
ing can be reached in few years. But common
school system. common history, textbooks and COM
mon educational ideals, must be the eventual factor
in creating united Ireland. For nation united in
ideals and spirit wait for the next genera
ton. it is to be feared.
Yet the heads OF both Irish states have shown
that they personally wish to agree-that they la
ment the MISUNDERSTANDING which have resulted
that it depends on what county in Ireland a man
was born in whether he is human being like the
rest OF us-or just bit Of animated mud to be
spurned and slain whenever possible.
But the latest agreement should go long way
to modify the border warfare and to stop the
gunpay between rival religious followers in Belfast
and other Ulster cities. Both men have promised to
do their best to end these things. They have
agreed to let bygones be bygones.
II even little of this sentiment filters down
among the of both South Ireland and U-
ster-the exploited misled masses-lreland will
cease shortly to furnish front page and pass
into the happy unsung ranks of Switzerland, Den
mark and like European states of comparative
size and resources.
Despite the opposition he has encountered from
many quarters Collins will find his task easier than
Crag's will be. The aforetime commander of the
Irish republican army, the mysterious black captain
whose exploits seemed at times miraculous is hg-
ure which has impressed the imagination of ireland
and in almost every country blind devotion

place to make by his own personality.

credited to the Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
