We were further told that she was “effectively gowned and her hair becomingly coiffed,” but we were left in complete ignorance as to the effectiveness of the clothes and the hair dressing of her gentlemen colleagues. We rise for information. Is Mondell, of Wyoming, a “swell dresser” or a slouch? Does Meeker, of Ohio, wear a mpadour or a close haircut? Does Fietle, of Kansas, part his hair in the middle or on the side? Has nature gone and wasted any curls on these men when women need curls so much more than men? If votes for women is to mark the greatest stride yet taken toward abolish- ing the double standard, the press report of this greatest stride toward votes for women should have helped prove it. It should have left us in utter darkness about the personal appearance of the only woman member, or should have given us the equally important informa- tion about the personal appearance of the men. If clothes and hair dressing enter into the situation at all, suffragists want to be assured that their Congressional leaders Rankin was are all “effectively”? dressed and that the hair of the men is at least well brushed if not “‘coiffed.” Be Good and You'll Be Happy LAST year women in New York State were chattering, chattering every- where reasons without end into the ears of men in order to convince them that they ought to give women the vote. No man was safe. Insidiously women crept upon them in unexpected places proceeded ‘forthwith to tell them things they ought to know about the justice and expediency of woman suffrage. Does anyone enjoy being told things that one needs or ought to know? Prac- tically no one does This year men in New York no longer live in fear that women in ambush may demand of them, “Listen!” When a man sees a woman down the corridor he has no desire to flee. She is only bear- ing to him an invitation to speak to her club on some phase of politic All over the state crowds of interested women are listening with mute reverence to all sorts and kinds of politicians freely and with no time limit, giving to women the thing that men have and women need: a working knowledge of practical politics. Does anyone believe that these men are not happier this year in which women listen to them than they were last year when they perforce had to listen to wo- men? Not a soul! And to think that this addition to the joy of life came to men as the immediate result of being just and giving votes to women. An Arid Spot Explained N conning the map of suffrage victory in New York State the suffrage an- nalist was puzzled for a moment by certain large city which had given an overwhelming adverse majority. It was not because the men of the city weren’t used to women and dreaded the unknown. The press reported that the JUDGE women outnumbered the men three to one. There are any number of men ready to admit that men need improving. In fact a State senator from this very city later admitted in the legislature a substantial amount of vote buying in his home town, But no men want to be feminized. “Let us,” they say, “remain the brutes we are rather than have lady-like standards of behavior thrust upon us. Everybody knows what an arch anti- feminist a boy becomes who is brought up alone with a number of sisters. He is so smothered in sisterly service and advice that his soul rebels. His heart beats in full accord with St. Chrysostom, who de. clared woman to be “a wicked work of nature covered with a shining varnish,” and he agrees perfectly with that other notable in church history who made no bones about lamenting that nature had so arranged things that girls had to be. Perhaps, then, this adverse vote was but an instance in which a mass of men protested against being overwhelmed by women in every department of life. Just as the lone boy rebels at a sister who is ready to serve him, no matter which cor ner he turns. So the men of this city may have voted “no” on the suf frage amendment merely because they wanted one place within the city limits where they could go and be alone. Even the suffrage annalist sighed with under- standing sympathy.
