CARAMELS will be an added pleasure to your guests These caramels are “really different” — better than you imagine. probably They are unique in appearance, quality and flavor and the most carefully made of all confections. In case your local dealer cannot supply you send twenty-five cents for a trial introductory pack- age. Then you will know just how delicious Caramels can be. Repel, NEW YORK “KING OF CARAMEL MAKERS" 30 West 34th Street 42nd Street and Fifth Avenue THE MODERN WOMAN CURBSIDE COMMENTS By OREOLA People vs. Principles JR YEARS, the noble tenders of tra- dition have complacently declared that the female of the spe is more personal than the male, not because she has been forced to concentrate on pinhead proposi- tions but because of her petty powers. Not only have they maintained this, but they have also whooped up the desirability of the male glueing his attention to principles while the female confines hers to persons. Horrific indeed then is the spe ¢ of womankind presented by the Rev. Anna Shaw. For this former president of the National American Woman Suffrage Associ ation in her reminiscences recently published docs not hesitate to reveal the infamous fact that in these United States there are hundreds — nay, thousands—of women who elect to live for a great cause, receiving blows as well as bou- quets, and successfully wrenching their atten- tion from the concrete attractions of men to the abstract allure- ment of measures. Oh, Ye° Stygian Shades! Can it’ be that the female flout- ing antique analyses of her mind delighteth to show that when lifted from the kitchen to the tower she can promptly discard backyard views and seize upon those that valley wide and mountain high? Alack! it looketh so. But let the tradition lovers not despair. The delight of delaying may always be theirs. For while the brazen footed of the Insurgent Sex cannot be kept from the tower stairs, obstacles and objections will assuredly make the timid to fall so that they et be blessedly bumped back into a realization of what they ought to be. Sad Revelations NDER THE stern law of the State of Massachusetts at the end of the suf- frage campaign all organizations working either for or against suffrage were compelled to file all contributions and expenses, unless they were under twenty dollars, with the etary of State. Dark secrets were thus aled, and it must be recorded with a sob that the Antis report the death of one of their grandest arguments killed ruthlessly by frosty facts. The beautiful and impressive wail that for years has reverberated through campaign contests, “eighty per cent of the HASKELL Women do not Want to Vote,” has expired in Massachusetts. For an analysis of figures shows that $30,324 was contributed by men to Anti-suffragism and only $0,585 by women. As opposed to this, the suffragists meanly show that $32,963 was contributed to their fund by women, while men gave only $7,017. Further figuring reveals that while 633 men parted with their coin to the Antis to the tune of $62 cach, there were 135 gentlemen who thought nothing of squander- ing $235 apiece. If therefore eighty per cent. of the women of Massachusetts were dead set against the ballot, they were cer- rather coy about decorating their antipathy with dollar signs while a few well- to-do masculines gen- crously assumed the réles of the Shrinking Sisters. Hereafter the suffs will be quite vindictive enough to say that ‘tis men who are fighting them be- hind a flimsy rampart labeled female oppo- sition. African Actions HIE VIRUS of vo- ting has been transmitted even to the women of South Africa,and on Novem- ber 1oth they went shamelessly to the polls to take part ina municipal election Not content with this ANOTHER MAGNA CHARTA bit. of franchise so far beyond the deserts of their subordinateships, they have poked up misguided men to introduce bills asking for full suffrage. The first bill was com- pletely snowed under, being lost by one vote, but the present dne supported by leaders of three out of four parties may thrust the vote into the lily hands of the women and contaminate said liliness. What is sadly lacking in benighted Africa is some of the good New York spirit that keeps women far from the miry paths of politics and sees them duly impressed with the humbleness of their ordained sphere. Proof she’s a good French scholar, isn’t she?” Splendid! She can make herself under- stood all over the United States.” What They Might Have Done Wife—Aren’t these bank people horrid to notify me my account is overdrawn? Husband—What would you have them do? Wife—Well, they might have sent word to you privately. comicbooks.com
