It has been said recent- ly that the war has devel- oped three great military geniuses —Joffre, Von Hin- denburg, and the Grand Duke Nicholas. Of the three perhaps the career of the be- loved French leader is the most humanly interest- ing. You will want. to read Joffre, an Interview, by Owen Johnson, in the October 16th issue of Collier's Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Man's Reasoning S6C)F COURSE,” explained a man who had disdainfully refused to si a suffrage slip at a street meeting, “I admit that if you can &e any state it is New Jersey, as the population is small and centralized; I than two-thirds of the voters vote anyway; and only one-sixth of these take the trouble to vote on constitutional amendments.” “Then why won't you help us by signing a slip?” she i ‘ tively. And he answered, “I would if I thought that the maja women wanted it or would usc it if they had it.” “And man,” she mused as she turned away, “is the only animal, according to the biology, that can reason.”” - An Example He—If women would stay home instead of running around for the vote, homes would be pleasanter; meals would be better; men would stay home too. She—In China they do. John Chinaman has bound their feet $0 they can’t get away. Meals better! Homes pleasanter! John eats off the shelf in any old way at any old time, just like the man in the funny paper whose wife has deserted him for the polls, and home life is so dreary that John has become the greatest gambler in the world. Pro and Con “What's the matter with father that he can no longer be trusted to protect the family?” asked the anti-suffrage speaker from the band stand at an up-state fair. “Say,” caroled out the suffrage speaker from her nail-keg around the corner, “if you wanted a nice little bear skin and started out with your gun to get it, what man here would not rather meet a father bear than a mother bear? Father is all right, but when it comes to protecting cubs, human or otherwise, he simply isn’t in it with mother.” P Plenty of Substitutes “If any woman is entitled toa place in the Hall of Fame,” said a noted author, “it is the one who invented apple pie.” Query: How does he know it was a woman? It was not Madame Nesselrode who invented the famous pudding. It was a boy and not a girl who took the prize in a recent biscuit making contest in a Rhode Island High School. In France, where cooking is a fine art, a glimpse in the café will be apt to show husband in the kitchea and wife at the cashier’s desk. When a rich suffragette was asked how she would like to have her cook vote, she replied, “He does.” Go to. If women are to be denied the right to vote it is not because they can’t find a substitute at the cook stove. Amusing Tales His Unsteady Night—A woman of East One Hundred and Eleventh Street is touting her servant girl as a real humorist and asks a place for one of her bright bits in this column. So here it is: The girl had a caller the other night—a girl caller—who worked for a family farther down the street. And the woman of the house overheard this conversation—it was about “‘fellers,”” as usual: “T seen Joe out with you last night,” accused the caller. The other girl admitted it. “He's your steady feller now ain’t he?” pursued the first speaker. “T guess he is—that is, on Thursday night.” Aw, I seen him with you on Saturday nights, too!” 3 Yes;, but he ain’t never steady on Saturday nights.” —Cleveland Plaia Dealer. Under the Table—During dinner in a certain Brooklyn household the 8-year old girl child suddenly interrupted the conversation in this wise: “Dad, you and mother can’t guess what I have under the table. Then, after the manner of parents who like to please their children, they guessed all kinds of things, but without success. So they said, “We give it up. Tell us.” —— e. Whereupon the kiddie, drawing her face up in a grimace, replied: “A stomach ache.”—Harper’s Magazine.
