—— ——— YVhIRA THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ If in Illinois Why Not Then in New York? Pr THE dim dreamy dawn of election morning in New York State in 1918 women will be in line at 7 a. M. waiting to vote. In fact some of them will get there before the polls open at 6. There will be a scurrying and a scatter- ing in the Empire State homes on that fate- ful day because the housewives will have something on their minds. In some towns fully half of them will have relieved their minds by casting their votes on their way to market before the clock strikes ten. Ambidextrous females will be seen in many places holding the baby with one arm and hand and recording their political convictions with the other. Whether or no any old women over ninety with sight just restored by an opera- tion will cast their first votes in New York in 1918 the deponent sayeth not.

But the men of those countries, remember- ing the frailty of women, and that they were, in psalm and story, the weaker vessels did not thrust the meat of political liberty Precipitately down their unaccustomed throats. Oh, no! The men of Iceland safeguarded the po- litical innovation by providing that women could not vote until they had reached forty years. This disfranchised at one fell swoop all those light-headed females given to wasting valuable time trying to look as though they were thirty when they really are forty. Never on election day would these women be seen on the street where the polling place was located for fear someone might suspect that they were going to vote, and thus testify to the years that had passed over their heads. But not satisfied with this provision the men of Iceland never held an election until fifteen months after women were given the right to vote, not wishing, of course, to imperil their nervous equilibrium by the too sudden impact of the polling booth. And Denmark? Well, the men of Den- mark were not averse to meeting fairly young women on election day and they low- ered the age limit of Iceland ten years or HE goodness of Nabisco is proved by its ever-growing popularity.
