been apprehended ut

years ago in England
would have been ostra
cized by society by
men and women alike.
Dut scan the situation
to-day and you wi!! find
that we suffragettes
have nearly won our
battle. Perhaps it
seems far from victory
to Americans who have
been following the
struggle which we have been conduct
ing in our own way, but let m. say
right here that "votes for women" is
in. my mind a certainty within a de
cade. The idea has been driven home
among the men who are the ruling
powers of Great. Britain and they can
not help but see the- beauty of our
arguments. This opening of a vista
of light in the stubborn minds of the
men who construct English law is to
the suffragettes a certain indication
that if (he fight is carried on in the
next :ev years with the same vigorous
measures which have marked the
pursuit of voles by the feminine l'rit
ish of the past few years, our cause
is won
It is an enlightened age. The wom
an who spurns the thought of partici
pating in the political activities' of her
country has not yol 'reached a plane,
according to my belief, where she can
possibly appreciate the benefits to be
derived from the little ballot. Why do
woman dislike politics? I answer sim
ply because they believe the political
side of a country's life is the degraded
one.' They connect politics and votes
with drinking, graft and other evils,
which, I may say, beset tire safetj cf
political government to-day.
And let me ask the woman who
does not believe that she should vote:
Would not the introduction of the
feminine into government affairs serve
to cleanse them of the stigma which
I i:QUAL. &G&TJ AEu-ZSJjL CASfpAiaH
is too often attached? To my miad
that would be " t ult.
I have tail! I would deal im
partially in thi article and so I am
giving "the otiwr :and" of the ques
tion. Msn haf opposed equal rights
because they say 'hat the influence
which" a woman of evil' intentions
could throw into n political fight would
disrupt orpanizat ion. I answer: There
is now much .evd in the manner in
which oar .male citizens are carrying
out their policies -ind it is a certainty
that the- purifying influence? of woman
would be fek in national questions.
"Bat woman has not the training
for a political career," some of my
Kkeptical friends. may declare. True,
she has not had the training which
has-been accorded -to the men? but ju3t
now she is not looking for political
office for she is after hpr .primary,
fight the 'ballot. Then" after that is
won thi political training will natural
ly follow with the interest which the
woman must take in-the affairs of the
couatry, which she will necessarily
help in deciding.
1 go not suppose that enlightened
readers will want me to again go over
that thread-bare motto, which arises
to the uppermost part of the brain of
man whenever he is arguing against
equal-rights, viz...that "woman's place
is in her home."'
Of course woman's place is in her
home. So is a man's, but tbat does
not prevent either from participating
in. the decision Gf who shaw govern

True, the magistrate was good

Yet we refused to allow ourselves

Men have laughed at our methods of

A male friend of mine said to me:
"Why do not you women go after
the suffrage right peaceably without
the attempt at making your point felt
by the u3e of brute strength?"
Think of it. sisters and brothers
"brute strength." He called our efforts
'the utilization of "brute strength." T
laughed outright when he chose to
term our fight under that ccpi'n
Perhaps he gained his idea from u'.u
fact that our vigorous prosecution of
the fight has been, styled "rioting" by
the sensational press. But in my mind
it cannot be -called that for to my

extent than you Americans may imag
ine. It was a cunning mind among our
leaders who thought out the plan to
talk to the menbsrs cf parliament by
having two ol the women chain them
selves to the guard in the balcony.
Just that little incident gave England
the idea that the fight was a deter
mined one.
Modern advertising methods were
used to circulate general knowledge of
the March demonstration and certain
ly if we believed that the power of
brawn is needed to win this struggle
we would not have gone about it in
that manner. We could have hired
hoodlums to make a far more startling
argument in line with the use of
brute strength."
Another manner of unique advertis
ing was the airship episode, which un
fortunately ended disastrously. The
craft, upon the side of which was
pinned a great banner bearing the
slogan. "VOTES FOR WOMEN," trav
eled in the direction opposite to that
for which it had been steered, but the
moral effect upon the public wasgood.
Though it is not generally known
there are great minds behind this cam
paign and through them eventual suc
cess is sure. Every day new moves
are planned and the members of par
liament who are opposed to our creed
little know where to look next for an
outcropping of the emblem which
bears our little legend: "equai suf
frage." Male members of British nobility are
to be figured upon if the selfish would
defeat us, and that is why I say I be
lieve I have good reason to argue that
within a decade our fight will be won.

Story and Its Confirmation.
"On Saturday, October 21, 1893. I
was in Berlin with Lord Carnarvon.
We went to the theater together and
returned at midnight," quotes a writ
er in the Strand Magazine. "I went to
bed at once, leaving, as I always do, a
bright light burning in the room (elec
tric light). As I lay In bed, I found
myself gazing at an oleograph which
hung on the wall opposite my bed. I
saw distinctly the face of my father,
the Maharajah of Duleep Singh, look
ing at me. as it were, out of the pic
ture: not like a portrait of him, but
his real head. The head about filled
the picture frame. 1 continued look

me with an intent exprcssiou. Though
not in the least alarmed. I was so puz

the picture really was. It was an

expense of placing new doors" on the
schools to prevent a catastrophe
woudld cost too much. "AH danger

Are there not in England among
the male population mmds of far
lesser caliber than those of the women
who believe they should vote? There
is no doubt of it. Yet wo, who have
a greater grasp of the political side of
life in his majesty's domain, are de
nied the privilege. Is our condition
not like that which you Americans
fought back in 177G: taxation without
representation?
From reading the cable news from
America in the daily newspaper here
in London I learn that several states
of our former colonies hae bestowed
upon their women the right to cast
ballots in rendering decisions as to
state and city officers. If the offspring
of England shall have so far prog
ressed as to recognize that the femi
nine branch of the human race de
serves a "say" in the affairs of men,
is it not time for the mother country
to cast from her back the black cloak
of unequal suffrage?
There is a suffrage lesson in Amer
ica and well may England profit by it.
The thought that voting is unwom
anly is as obsolete as the old stage
coach system, to my mind, and some
day the eyes of .our country will be
opened to that fact. We women have
simply formed ourselves into a band
of leaders and we hope soon to see our
way clear to the voting booth.
Our struggle commenced in humble
little mass meetings on the street.
The success of these resolved itself
into the desire to do greater things
and to-day you Americans who read
the newspapers are viewing a fight
which is nearing the mountain top of
victory.

Eggs and Easter.
The eggs has from time immemorial
been connected with this season of the
year. In Africa they even worship it,
and no altar decoration is considered
finished without.a circle of eggs, while
each private family boasts at least
one sacred egg.
The custom of using eggs is sup
posed to have originated with the an
cient Greeks and Romans, who col
ored tliem to use in their pagan fes
tival. Marvelous stories may be found
of bewitched eggs, said to be able
to fly straight toward the. sun, and one
famous variety was said to have been
laid by a rabbit.
So even in those remote times the
Easter "bunny' had a place. In Ger
many he has been known these many
years. The children of the-fatherland
watch eagerly for the hare who hides
his eggs so carefully for their finding
on Easter morning.
Russia is really the paradise of the
Easter egg. Every one carries one on
the street and presents to his friends,
saying "Christ is risen," the recipient
responding: "He is risen, indeed."
In practical bustling America this
season is becoming a much-Iooked-for
occasion. AVe are beginning to live up
to many of the beautiful traditions of
the past, of which the legends con
cerning Easter are the most beautiful
of all.
For an Easter Wedding.
The week following Faster has al
waysz been a favorite time for wed
dings, so these few suggestions for
girls who are preparing for this mo
mentous event are timely. White
flowers should be used exclusively,
giving lilies the preference, but car
nations, roses, tulips, hyacinth and
narcissus are all effective.
A pretty conceit is to confine one
flower to a room, massing in bowls and
using flower holders wherever it is
possible.
A canopy under which the couple
will stand may be made of wire, wind
ing with greenery, then studding with
white flowers. Form the isle of broad
white satin ribbon or tulle, and use
tall white candles in every available
place. Wind the stair banisters with
green, tying a. large bunch of white
flowers to the newel post', from which
there should be a tall cathedral can
dle. It is a pretty idea to have one or
two little flower girls with baskets
filled with white roses and petals to
scatter in the pathway of the bride.
At a wedding of this kind, the at
tendants should be gowned in white,
and the refreshments may be served
out almost entirely in white.
PiretWy
THE design which is worked on this sachet is decidedly uncommon, and
most effective. Satin, in a delicate shade of blue, is used for the cover,
and white for the lining; it measures about ten inches in width, and
14 deep, which, when folded, gives seven inches in depth. On one side the
design shown is worked, the other being left plain. The oak leaves are an
applique of green silk; the acorns are-worked in satin stitch in green and
brown- the scroll pattern round is worked in cording stitch with mown silk;
it would be most effective if gold tinsel thread was used instead of brown
silk the STjace between the two rows is dotted with short, single stitche3
worked in gold; the circles are in satin stitch outlined with cording.
The white satin lining is formed into a pocket each side. Aftrr the em
broidered satin is worked it must be stretched, then placed over a layer of
well-scented wadding, the edges are turned in, then the lining is put in and
the two edges are slip-stitched together, a cord composed of blue, green and
gold finishes the edge; the two sides may be fastened together by a silk
loop and button, or by a ribbon sewn on each side and tied.
Toucnes of color are everywnere.
There is still a rage for bead work.
Dyed laces are still in great favor.
Stripes are to be unusually popular.
A new high linen collar buttons at
the back.
The one-piece princess dress is pop
ular. Velvets in narrow, shaded stripes
find favor.
The new spring suits continue to
have buttons.
Washable tulle predominates for the
summer blouse.
Long sleeves will be worn on all the
tailored suits.
Soft, puffy afternoon frocks may
have elbow sleeves.
Tulle and linen jabots are as popular
as ever in Paris.
Tegal straw is. the finest material
for the brimless hat.
J Have-the ice cream in egg-shaped
forms resting in nests or straw-colored
spuu sugar: or it may be served in
cases made to represent lilies. Use
white candles in glass holders, white
Uowers. shade the light with lily
shades and cover the floor with white
canvas. Tliis makes a dining room be
fitting the occasion.
Of course use green vines and ferns
for background with the white flowers.
A Lily Luncheon.
For this affair it goes without say
ing that the decorations are all white
and gold. The cloth should be of
snowy white, with center piece over
yellow, or the always pleasing pol
ished board with doilies. Easter lilies,
the flower chosen for this pretty func
tion, should stand tall and regal in
their purity in the center of the table.
White tissue paper lilies may be made
at home or purchased to hold salted
nuts, and the yellow candles should be
shaded with white lilies, the holders
being of glass or brass. Plain white
china with gold decorations is the
proper thing. For place cards have
one lily in a small yellow jardineiere
(doll size) at each plate, to which are
tied lily-shaped cards bearing the
name in gold ink. Serve this menu:
Cream of celery soup, over which the
grated yolk of hard-boiled egg is
sprinkled: bread slicks, boiled fresh
cod, with egg sauce: chicken breasts
fried, creamed potatoes in yellow
ramekins, egg salad in nests of water
cress, cheese wafers. Xew York ice
cream, egg shaped in spun sugar
nests; sponge cakes.
An Egg Race.
Thi :; a purely Gorman sport called
"eier laufen." or egg race. It is al
ways a feature of the Easter Monday
panics, and. by the way, it is a cus
tum in the country for the grandpar
ents to enteitaln their children smd
grandchildren on the day after Easter.
The young people participate in all
the traditional games, of which the
one described is a great favorite.
A course is laid out around the
room, which takes the child over
chairs, stools, under tables and finally
through a big barrel. Six hard-boiled,
colored eggs are placed on the floor at
the starting point, and each child is
given a shallow wooden spoon, in
which the eggs are to be carried sepa
rately over this course and deposited
in a basket at the goal. The one who
makes the transfer in the shortest
space of time and with the fewest
drops is awarded a fancy egg-shaped
receptable filled with candy eggs.

Lemon Shampoo.
Here is a recipe for a simple sham
poo made of lemon: Pour the juice of
three lemons upon two ounces of salts
of tartar, add about two quarts of
warm water and use as an ordinary
shampoo. This will make the hair soft
and fluffy and is an excellent cleanser.
If one has sufficient time at her dis
posal it is a good idea to boil the juice,
boiling the skins wi.h it. This makes
a stronger solution of the lemon. A
few drops of perfume, or attar of roses
added, will leave a faint scent upon
the hair. The mixture of salts of tar
tar should never be allowed to stand.
It should be mixed fresh for every
shampoo. The DeHnea.'or.

their attractiveness to the way they

manner to enhance their textile beau

The extraordinary popularity of fini
white goods this summer makes the
choice of Starch a matter of great im
portance. Defiance Starch, being free
from all injurious chemicals, is the
only- one which is safe to use on fine

perfect finish, equal to that when the
