motorists! Here is an article that is close to your pocket- book. In “‘Gaso- lene: The Popular Mystery”, Edward Mott Woolley tells many things you should know about your “gas”. Look for this interesting article in the July 8th issue of Collier's THE NATIONAL WEEKLY 416 West 15h Street, New York City THE MODERN WOMAN Curbside Comments By OREOLA W. HASKELL Extracts from The Antiquary A Weekly Journal Edited and Published by Real Ladies and d ly Journe male Pollution tn the Poot ot Polis, ot CPPosed to Dear ire last cover of your noble magazine was too swee' anything. To depict the Suff as a brazen yellow Tulip, while the Anti a pale, pink Rose shed its petals fragilely and fragrantly at the Feet of Mas (a sturdy Bush with thick leafage symbolically and_ beautifully conv the idea of whiskers), what could be more caustic and more clever? Dp you get all your lovely ideas from your mind or have you other resource? How grand it is to report another victory for the great Army of the Op posers to which we belong. To think that the men of Virginia have bees courageous enough to vote 48 to 46 against granting to the girls of the an equal right with the boys to attending the University of Virginia is take heart and realize that all is not yet lost. With what a thrill one of the masterly arguments hurled against co-education and higher female education by our staunch friend, Mr. Hugh White. It is so true that “the education of women in proximity to men would have a coarsening effet on the women.” To preserve the refinement and purity of women generally we must keep them away from men. Of course they are obliged to mary men and to have them as brothers and fathers and sometimes as friends, bu: This Is Bad Enough. They may even have the Brutes as ministers and physicians. as lawy s dentists, as servants, and have business dealings with them as merchants, but to study with them in public merely chaperon by a few middle-aged and elderly professors is infinitely degrading. Oft have I met graduates from co-educational institutions— females who, however womanly, had a subtle look that branded them for what they were, and dark have been my thoughts as to how they made up in private for looking hypocritically feminine in publ Smoking, swearing. drinking—may these not be the habits they contracted by studying Latin and Higher Mathematics in the presence of men? For do we not all know that it is in the classroom of our colleges that our boys display all their villainous vices? Are not our college campuses scenes of hideous roystering? nd tho’ we might keep the girls safely guarded by matrons in s distant dormitories they still would breathe the same atmosphere for stated times daily as the male students and certainly be inoculated with the Bac lus of Badness. All hai! to the Solons of Virginia, who have opposed the Squashing of Female Refinement. In that brave State at least, young and women will continue to mect and get acquainted in heated and sce ballrooms, listening to the strains of seductive music, and dancing the latest modern writhings. It is glorious to realize how much more wholesome. natural and uplifting this is to the human race than to have them listen together to Scientific Explanations of our Mighty Universe or Read from our Best Poets.

Suffrage Facts and Fancies Ry ANNA CADOGAN ETZ When the Glamour Fled «6QOMETIMES woman suffrage does not appeal to me,” writes 2 American woman living in a Canadian city. ‘For instance, women have limited municipal suffrage here and I know that my sundress took a bribe for voting for the most awful yellow dog candi mayor, and he was elected too. I suppose she considered it an easier way to earn money than washing.” If vote selling is the latest profession open to women it compares very favorably from the point of morals with the so-called “oldest profession followed by women,” the name of which is not mentioned in polite society. Let us admit that the tired laundress decided to ease the strain on the muscles of her back by shifting it off on to her conscienc Is it, then, established that women ought not to vote? Not at all.
