THE MODERN WOMAN Curbside By OREOLA W. HASKELL Counselors S I SIT adream in the firelight’s glow, Oft faces rise from the long ago, With eyes mine own have never seen, Save with the printed page between; Yet filled with an immortal fire, They rule my thoughts, my soul in- spire. For if my heart grows hot with rage 'Gainst foes who war on woman wage, Lucretia Mott, in sober guise, Strong, calm and steadfast, greets my eyes; And then I feel the tumult cease, As though her Quaker voice said, “*Peace!’’ Or when some triumph swells my breast With thoughts elate, and I would rest, Content awhile to dream perchance, Nor toil for woman’s just advance, Then Lucy Stone I seem to see, And hear, ‘‘My banner bear for me!”” And when defeat finds me appalled, Then she who Anthony was called, Whose eyes like stars of hope shone clear, The Dauntless One, doth then appear, And shames in me a faith so wan— “*Failure’s impossible—fight on!"" College Women [IN A NUMBER of soulful epistles the New York man again tells ina daily newspaper just what kind of woman he will condescend to lead into wedlock. Comments And the college woman is de- barred, because she, it seems, is wont to confine her conversation to the nebular hypothesis and to the philosophy of Kant, thereby turning herself into a human ency- clopedia, when man wants a copy of a Laura Jean Libby novel. And only the other day a wail went up that college women as a class were too slangy, too frivolous and too girly-girlish. We must THE MAID OF ORLEANS Canonized in 1894. Four hundred and sixty-three years after she died for France. leave to man the reconciling of these two views, for to the feminine eye the college woman seems much like the ordinary woman, only more interesting, because of a wider outlook and a deeper culture. Polish Women LTHOUGH we know that women are only capable of the narrow love of the hearth, while men are glorified by the broader one of country, there is always some one misguided enough to en. deavor to show that in some instances women have the nerve to rise up to the affectional heights reserved by Providence for their brothers. Mr, N. O. Winter, in his book on‘Poland, tells us that women occupy a position of unusual prominence in that coun- try, that they are even considered superior to man in nearly every way, that in the various conspiracies and revolutions against Russia they have played important parts, giving up their worldly goods, going into exile, and even fighting in battle and losing their lives for patriotic motives. Can it be that women are human as well as feminine and are capable of loving mankind as well as man? Divorce It MUST come as a great surprise to the antis to have twenty-one judges of the district courts of Colo- rado assert that in the twenty-one years of woman suffrage they have never known of a divorce case where it was known or suggested that po- litical differences in any manner had been the cause of trouble between hus- band and wife. Thus another harrow- ing picture of hostile spouses and shattered homes is wiped out of existence by the big whitewash brush of Truth.
