THE MODERN WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ Why Should “ Mrs."” Mean Matrimony? So sends in his card no one can tell from it whether he is married or not, and it is considered irrele- vant, if not impertinent, to ask. But when Mrs. So-and-So sends in her card her mat- rimonial status is at once revealed. It is not so long ago that an interview with a strange woman usually began with> questions relative to her husband ‘sexistence, business, and whereabouts. he question, “Woman, where is your husband?” has disappeared from the social code book, its exit having been hastened by fear of an awkward moment, due to the divorce court being one of the busiest pl: in this land. But social custom still requires that the fact of a woman’s having or having had a hus- band shall be known from her visiting card so that all who run may read. But in the surge of the feminist move- ment this tabulation is being marked for slaughter. It received a dent when a cer- tain poetess of ancient days guiltless of a husband yet was accorded the title of “Mrs.”—her poetry perhaps being thought to have entitled her to a husband even if she did not have one. In our own times, Belle Squires, who led the protest by Chicago women against t tion without representat coolly si herself “Mrs.” although she cert received that title at the altar. She d clared that “Mrs.” for a woman should be a title of maturity just as “Mr.” was for a man; that it merely signified that a woman had put away childish things and she should no more be called “ Miss” than a bachelor, ancient of days, should be called ** Master. And so the world wags along. hose anti-suffragists who oppose and fear votes for women as a sign of general unrest are fully justified. Women are not only asking for the vote. They are asking questions all along the line, and one of the questions they are asking with increasing frequency is, Why Should “Mrs.” Mean Matrimony? When the Suffrage Pie Was Opened N April 1, the suffragists assembled and said “Bring in the pie and we will cut it.” And when the pie was opened the birds began to sing and the burden of their melody ran, “Presidential Suffrage for Women in North Dakota, Ohio, Indiana; Primary Suffrage in Arkansas; Municipal Suffrage in North Dakota, Indiana, Vermont; Suffrage Pledged to Women by the Govern- ment of Ontario; Suffrage Referendums voted in New York, Maine, South Dakota, and Oklahoma: All within the light of three moons.”” Wasn't that a pretty dish to set before the King? or rather Qu If anyone was fooled on the day set apart on the calendar for fooling it was not the suffragists when they cut their suffrage pie. The suffragists, as you note, are merely made foolish by overmuch su S, «- JUDGE =- next week will greet you with a cover full of humor by ALBERT LEVERING “Fat or Fashion” Other artistic features by ORSON LOWELL WILL VAWTER JOHN GRUELLE HARTMAN R, B.
