Playing Fair.

This Is an old, old theme I've Sc
lected today. but 1t was suggested to
me so strangely in brand-new way
that | feel l must take it up with
all Of you again.
Do you realize that most Of you
would rather die than cheat at cards,
or steal some Of your friends silver,
or write an anonymous letter to your
neighbor's sweetheart telling him
that she had been unfaithful-and yet
every day you will slyly injure the
reputation Of some one who has done
you no harm and hy your words you
may succeed in depriving her of some
thing plea SAINT"
For instance-yesterday crowd OF
us were standing on the steps Of
hotel porch, four men and three girls.
The odd man was rather casting
about for girl to escort to the dance.
and we were discussing possible can
didates for the honor. when quiet
looking, rather pretty girl passed
along the walk
Who's that" the unattached man
demanded. "She looks rather nice
and rather lonely. Do you know
herr"
"Oh, yes" replied Angela indiffer-
emily. She's an awful Washout. No
body pays any attention to her AT tne
hotel dances. and she always looks
queer and rather wall-fowerish. You
have dull time II you took her. her
family are queer people, too.
The extra man looked rather dashed
and I yearned to slap Angela face
For the poor child whom she had so
ruthlessly cut out of good time hah
never done Angela any harm
None of us had any means OF Know
ing whether the girl was nice or not.
We had aeen her only once at hotel
dance, and she had then appeared to
he very lonely and unhappy. But. for
all know. she might have been
riot in her home toWn-and one OF
the hest dancers In the world.
Still Angela, with wanton brutality,
had Gated" her sufficiently to do her
out of an evenings pleasure.
1t wasn't playing fair. was IT? The
poor little vallf1oWer had no way nj
retaliating. She didn't even know
what she had missed.

shed calmly steal away a few hours
happiness from lonely girl who was
apparently having a dull. unhappy

It's such a mean thing to do.
Don't YOU feel rather ashamed Of

ular and does you no good at all?

Honors Paid Leader
of Woman Suffrage

Representatives of women's organi-
cations in Norway recently gathered
together to pay tribute to the memory
of the birth, 100 years ago, OF Aasta
Hansteen, one of the pioneers of the
womans movement in that country
and a personality so original that she
has been the model for Norwegian
dramatists and sculptors.
Aasta Hansteen was the gifted
daughter of Prof. Christopher Han
steen of the University of Oslo
formerly Christianity. A university
career was at that time unthought
of for woman, and the only. career
which was deemed possible for a wom-
an was art, writes the Oslo CORE
spondent of the Christian Science
Monitor. Aasta Hansteen therefore be-
came a painter and studied at Copen-
hagen. Dusseldorf and Paris, but she
soon left painting for literature and
also to work for the liberation Of
womanhood In her country. Her point
was that woman as well as man Is
created In Gods image and this she
argued with her seemingly narrow
minded contemporaries
Aasta Hansteen lectured publicly on
this favorite idea of hers and people
scorned her and ridicuIed her In those
days it was an unheard-of thing for
women to speak in public and thu
doors Of her friends and relatives
IL RI hnF
was then that she felt she must leave
her native land and she went to the
United States, where she stayed In
Boston for nine years between 1880
and 1889.
Meanwhile Norwegian women be-
came active, suffrage clubs and so
cieties were formed and when Aasta
Hansteen heard Of what was going on
she returned to Norway, radiating with
zest and In fighting mood. When the
wOman's suffrage movement was pro-
crossing Aasta Hansteen became less
militant, and when she heard in 1907
that women had got the vote she took
the news at first with an impressive
silence. Later she said. Remember
that the woman's movement goes
further than to get the vote; 1t aims
at the spiritual liberation Of all hui
mainly"
It now seems hardly possible that
atty years ago a woman was out
lawed in Norway because she spoke In
public. Progress certainly seems to
have been rapid.
