"Our problem In America, Is a

the reason for thu general unrest. It
Is the cause of strikes and the work

What Will We Do
Now? -
MANY earnest and broad-minded
women struggled manfully to
win the ballot and many had It thrust
upon them. Hut the agitation for It.
before It was achieved, won over most
women to a whole-hearted belief In
the Justice and tho desirability of wom
nn suffrage. And now that millions
of women linve the privilege of voting
they are asking themselves just how
they are going to go about exercising
It Intelligently. Likewise sundry pol
iticians are anxious to know Just
what this new voting power will do
Drawn Thread
Slmple Removal of Strands Affords
Means of Decorating Household
Linen of All Descriptions.
Drawn thread-work has, for a long
time, enjoyed great popularity as ti
means of ornamenting household
linen of all descriptions, and many
people are proficient in tills form of
needlework. It occurred to one en
terprising person that drawn thread
work would be a very effective way
of adorning her summer cotton
iresses, and forthwith she experiment
l w4th ratine. Success attended her
efforts, and the thread "drew" from
the material with tho greatest ease.
The color of the ratine was blue;
round Uie hem she worked ubout three
to them. It may be some time ' -fore
women will make this new power felt
- as something to be carefully reck
oned with.
About the first thing that concerns
them Is familiarity with questions that
are vitally Interesting to them as citi
zens and as women. Tliey have had
much experience In women's clubs and
through them have brought about
many noteworthy reforms. It Is
through these already established or
ganizations that they can carry on
campaigns of education for them
selves and for others. Hegardless of
this or that party, women must make
up their minds as to what sort of
legislation they want and then under
take to get It by means of political
parties. In local and In national af
fairs thev must first Inform themselves
ns to worthwhile Issues and help to
Inform others. It Is a game of public
ity the spreading of Information,
keeping an eye on the performatice of
men In ollice and public officials of all
sorts and keeping Informed, ' through
newspapers nnd magazines on policies
that are benelltiul for all the people.
Any one at all familiar with the
teamwork done by women In their
clubs and various organizations, will
acknowledge that they are always In
terested In benevolences; therefore t
Is safe to assume that they will under
take to reform abuses and to Institute
various Improvements when they be
come convinced (nut they are needed.
It appears that the thing most useful
to them at this time. Is as clear an
understanding as possible of the planks
of the two great political parties and
a definite knowledge of the things they
want to see accomplished, both In
their own local affairs and In national
affairs, Husy as they ire, they really
Imve more time to devote to the study
of public questions ninl of politics than
men have, for many men are too much
tied down to business, to bread win
ning, and cannot find time for any
thing oiUslde. It Is possible, however,
even for busy housewives, to set apart
some time for thli undertaking. Theli
time Is their own and managed by
them, which Is an Immense advance.
It may fall to (heir lot filially to gather
and spread Information that will bring
about, through the education of public
sentiment, the things that are desira
ble for the welfare of human beings.
Already certain large organizations of
yomon Imve got together and agreed
upon certain Issues that they wish to
see placed In party platforms. The
tilings they have agreed to advocate
arc all beneficial ti themselves and to
their children and therefore to the
whole country.
