SHOE MODS SUFFRAGETTE SNAPSHOTS By IDA HUSTED HARPER HE SUFFRAGISTS have been barred out of the New York Woman's In- dustrial Exhibition, because, according to its lady manager, who is an ‘‘anti,” they get in they will be the whole show. The compliment is an antidote for the snub, but when it comes to industry, the suffragists certainly can be marked Exhibit A. A committee of inquiry has just reported that the girls in the New York pub- lic schools are much bright- erthan the boys. Nocom- mittee was necessary to ascertain what is a fact in every State, and it is equal- ly true that in the colleges the averages of the girls in the classes and exam- inations are higher than those of the boys. But when both are twenty-one, the government says, “Give the vote to the least competent.’” Oo There seems to be some mild excitement over the question whether a woman should be allowed to write “Mrs.’’ before her name when she is really ‘‘Miss.’’ The chief effect would be on the men, who are much more chesty before the unmarried women, who believe them to be heroes, than be- fore the married, who know they are not. The cable dispatches tell us that the German princess is going through a course of training for matrimony and three times a week pours her father’s coffee and cuts and butters his bread. Dear, dear, what a fine wife she will make! but won't it be dreadful if her husband should want to butter his own bread? G “How To Be ‘Smart’ Though Middle- aged’’ is the title of an article that is going the rounds. The smartest thing SHE WILL SHIFT THE PILES the middle-aged can do is to recognize that they are middle-aged and act accord- ingly, and this applies to men as well as women, i Sixty-two women are now serving on city and town councils in Sweden, nine of them presidents of suffrage associations. The Parliament might as well get ready to pass that franchise bill. NWA OME I New York State has 101.2 men toevery 100 women, That extra one and two- tenths of a man ought to make it entirely possible to give a vote to women without fear of changing the style of sex domina- tion, The fact that four per cent. of the ‘widowed’? are men and eleven per cent. women shows that the men hasten to re- lieve their unhappy con- dition, while the women let well enough alone. is) “*Women never could serve on the police force,”” an anti-suffragist rushes into print to declare. “Could frail woman with- stand, year in and yearout, the severe climatic changes constantly occurring?” Well, several million of her do, as they start out each morning to earn their daily bread. [a] A published extract from the diary of the ex-Sultan of Turkey says, ‘‘In my country a woman belongs to the home and to man alone. In Europe she has too many liberties to re- main womanly.” The precise argument of the anti - suffragists. Give woman political liberty, and she no longer cares for home and hus- band, losing her womanly charm. The Oriental spirit slightly Occidentalized! a] The scientific world is highly excited over the report of the birth of an atom. Its chief interest to women is the effect it will have on their getting the suffrage, as the public insists on connecting this in some way with the birth rate. “The Crowning Attribute of Lovely Woman is Cleanliness” The well-dressed woman blesses and benefits herself—and the world—for she adds to its joys.
