tine~had By all and wishes for many
returns. Before the footlights she
had only to speak and her popularity
was unanimous.
Several other names have repeated
ly come to my ears, coupled with rea
sons why their owners should hold Of
flee.
Now, Mr.. Breen, we women folks
have the greatest admiration for your
political wisdom, so surely you can
tell us how to go at it to deposit our
spring toques into the arena, Any
woman who pursues faults in her own
husband as conscientiously as / do,
would not spare herself in attempting
to eradicate any corruption which
might assert itself while her fellow
sisters were in office.
Lord, how / detest that plebian
corn beef and cabbage! Peacocks'
tongues are more my taste, but | ask
you, what am / to do?

MAGGIE JIGGS
We're pleased to help you Maggie.
Now the selection Of the kind of a
is of first Importance. The first ques
ton to be decided is, should it be an
expensive one or one that will stand
the wear and tear when the voting
ladies trample on it? 1t should not
be too expensive since it may cause
envy, but should be we'll made.
Second, Maggie, rolling pin gath
ers no political moss. Keep the rolling
pin in the dough until after election.
Then if elected, it may be used with
freedom.
Third, don't be to agile with your
biceps or precepts. A short skirt well
used is a better vote getting trap.
Fourth, don't ask for votes merely
because you are lady and want rep
resentation Of your sex. Instead, get
it noised about that you know your
vegetables, and, even though onions
do smell strong, they are healthy.
Filthy, know why you want to run
for the office Some voters are cur
ious and will want to know. Have a
platform of some kind but don't build
it too high and with culled lumber
with knot holes in it.
Sixthly. if bouquets come in too
profusely get some one to throw a
few bfickhats; also turn a few mice
loose. Some one is always smelling
a mice" in politics. political jobs, fat
contracts and other such considera-
tions usually constitute the mice
smell" also the "nigger in the wood
pile").
Seventhly, Maggie, be prepared to
have your weekly wash strung out on
public clothes line where all can
look it over with care and offer criti-
cisms. If you don't the general pub
lie will peep over the backyard fence
at it any way and notice things you
thought you had spot doctored years
ago.
Eighthly, Maggie, remember all the
parties you gave and whom you for
got to invite thereto-these "whoms"
will usually be found among the anvil
chorus, regardless of your real de-
sire to uplift the community. Voters
are of all sexes and both compleXes.
Parties are parties whether political
or otherwise.
When the. primaries are announced,
it is wise precaution to get your
name on the ticket either by petition
or otherwise, because, Maggie, it will
help you to get votes by letting the
people know you are candidate for
office, also which office.
Since short skirts have become so
popular we can see no reason why
women can not run better than ever
especially for office. But for
heavens sake, Maggie, when you
start to run for office in short skirts,
don't stop to powder your nose
voters will not be looking at that, it
viii be your platform that will in
terest them.
Thanking you gratefully for your
high compliment as to our political
sagacity, we hope this will prove your
faith was well founded.
