rine ank ik, an d Suffrage Snapshots By IDA HUSTED HAKPER ANOTHER English doctor heard from! This one deprecates the present style of dress, because ‘‘it does away with the mystery in women, which is greatly against their own interests."’ Let the doctor calm himself—woman will always be enough of a mystery to keep the men busy guessing. The antis are dreadfully vexed at the suffragists because of their reported attempts to convert the women public- school teachers, the women in the govern- ment departments, the women wage-earn- ers and women in divers other capaci- ties. Putting it mildly, they are like the schoolboy who wrote, ‘‘To sum up Daniel Webster's character—it is one which I do not approve !’’ “The mother of Moses had no vote,"’ said Rabbi Solomon Foster, at the New Jersey legislative hearing. No; but if she had, she never would have aban- doned her baby there in the bullrushes, o Prime Minister Asquith is carica- tured by Punch as Mona Lisa, with the smile that won't come off. To the suffragists he looks more like the cat that swallowed the canary. The President of France is consid- ering the proposal to decorate with the Cross of the Legion of Honor the mother of twenty-two children. Some- thing that could be exchanged for twen- ty-two pairs of shoes would be more ap- propriate. a “The clinging-vine type of women will continue to multiply,’’ we are assured by those who claim to know. Well, that is a very good business, since they don’t seem to be able to do anything else. Admiral Chadwick's recent assertion that “‘women teachers develop in boys a feminized, emotional, illogical manhood” is receiving some support from great edi- tors. It is very peculiar that mothers have always been taught their greatest THE MODERN WOMAN work is to train their boys for the high- est duties of citizenship, and yet if these same boys spend a few hours each day in school with women teachers they are ruined for life. Is it only when there is a salary attached that a woman's teach- ing becomes dangerous? c The anti-suffragists are having a good deal of fun because the papers tell of a California mayor who does the family washing. Maybe he runsa laundry. Men are doing most of the family washings nowadays. The Anti-Suffrage Society of Washing- A FACT WORTH THINKING ABOUT ton passed a vote of censure on the Young Women’s Christian Association of that city, because it allowed the delegation of working women who called on the Presi- dent to have a paid-for luncheon in its headquarters. The members of the asso- ciation felt so bad about it that they im- mediately proceeded to give a circus. Mrs. Josephine Daskam Bacon says, ‘‘I am an anti-suffragist because I have never seen any way in which the ballot could help me.’” Perhaps some time the fact may dawn upon her that it might afford help to other women who need it much worse than she does. Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL. The Wife HE olden wife had tasks full hard: She sewed and wove and spun, O’er steaming caldrons toiled away From dawn till set of sun. What now the whirling factory wheels Create with speedy skill, By her beside the hearth was made By fingers never still. But though her body taxed we find, Her mate asked little of her mind. To-day the new wife, though she seem A creature freed from toil, Since Labor’s million hands to her Bring spoils from loom and soil, Yet finds one great task set for her That fills each waking hour With complex labors, high and low, That tax her every power. For man of her seeks more and more Companionship unknown of yore. Trustful Trenton RS. EVA H, MANSELL, who has been superintendent of the New Jersey State Home for Girls for ten years, has accepted the position of over- seer of the poor for Trenton, basely snatching the job, with its $1,500 at- tachment, away from some poor, abused man. It is touching to see the trust placed by Trenton in a mere female, who it is to be hoped will make an over- seer of the poor and not a poor overseer.
