Special Club FRANK KIMBLE Luncheons Manager L THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage By ANNA Thirst for Beauty Is Not a Sex Distinction GAIN the year has rolled round. Again the papers have been plastered with the pictures of handsome men seeking the suffrage of the voters at the fall primaries. One and all the pictures showed that the candidates were extremely good looking. It had not been suspected that there were so many handsome office seekers. If, per- chance, there were any homely candidates they evidently did not think it good politics to pay the press to print their pictures and thus let their wished-for constituents find it out. It was but the other day that a man who came to collect a bill told me that if women voted they would all vote for the hand somest man. He spoke dourly as he is not, strictly speaking, a handsome man and he a bit of a taste for politics. (7 “But,” [ said, “women cannot vote around here and yet haven't you noted how the papers are full of the pictures of handsome candidates? What does that mean but that the offic kers are bidding with their beauty for votes? The thirst for beauty is evidently not confined to women. Men too like to be represented by a person 4 who is not a pain to look at.” But he refused to show any weakening toward the Votes for Women Proposition An instinct within him warned him that, if he did, his happiest day in the year might be wiped out of his life forever. Just let the women get a look-in at city politics and they could be counted on to economize in the same petty disgusting way in which they looked after the pennies in their homes. and gone would be his job of election inspec tor when in one day he earned more money than he could ina week at any other time in the year. Logic Will Have It So HE IDEA has been abroad in the land that by staying in the home and leav ing politics to men women were choosing place of sweetness and light in contrast to the oft-designated “filthy pool of politics” occupied by the sterner sex. Wh er and wherever women have appeared with the plea for the right to vote, they have been met not by logic, but by flowers of eloquence with which men have painted the home as the loveliest and most precious thing on carth and politics as too horrible for words. Are men who thus ex- alt the home voicing their deepest convic- tion, or are they merely trying to put off Facts IDOGAN ETZ THE HAND OF DESTINY and Fancies that day in which they will have to divde up with women in politics? If they are sn core—and we truly believe that they thin they are—will they questions? answer one or two Why is it that every evening in Ameri countless women sit alone in the home w countless men, free to choose, delibe elect to spend the evening in the thy pool of polities” or. it would seem, almox anywhere save in the home to whose charm they pay such fulsome lip-service? Why is it that a statesman fresh from a suffrage hearing, in which he has lavished the bright and beautiful words in hisvocaby- lary on the “home;” why is it, we ask, that woman who is a veritable pain ejaculates, “Gee, what a This, Friends, is the acd test: Tf the “homes charming, then to k “homely” is to be cham ing too. But, if to be “homely” is to be quite the contrary, then the pre- sumption is. that the “home,” in the minds of men, is also quite the con- trary. So it has come to pass that suffrage appli- cants, needing some time to rest in the ardor of their pursuit, doze off during the panegyrics on the “home” delivered in legis lative halls. So it has ne to pass that suffrage applicants, kno ing that the home is not all the politician paints it and that the politician knows it too, have come to suspect that politics als are not as black as the politician paints them and that the politician knows that also: in short, that man in his attity toward both the “home” and “politic very much like the Erishman and his pig of which he said that it did not weigh 3s much as he expected. and he never thought it would if he passes s to look at. he homely woman!
