This fence Is painted red, and Is so high that the suffragettes can no longer hang upon It the dodgers with which they used to ornament the old division line, but they have amiably erected at its termination a tall pole and awlnging in tha b'reexe as you approach tha place a triangular pennant with "Love Your Nenlghbbr" meets your eyes. It meets the eyes of the opponent of woman's suffrage as he looks down from his shnttered windows and It Is said in the most charitable way Imaginable by the ladles in uharge of the lunch room that It la expected to do the good work of overcoming his prejudices in time. They also say that ao long as there must be a fence they are mighty glad It is a high one. for they don't want any witting on the fence. It is one aide or the other with them. Poor Braes. "Borry.

"I would first say to a woman: 'Go and weigh yourself; note the table of Weights and heights and see whether you ara at normal. A few pounds mora or less will not make any great dif ference.

Take a woman whose waist Is drawn In like an hour glass and get her to let it out, tying a broad band of something around her waist, and aha will Immediately look slimmer. . "If you were to ask a Farlalon how she makes herself look tall and slim she would stretch out her bejewelled little hands and check off her fingers tha following: ;'A long chain or Btrlng of beads. "A wide, loose sash effect around the be the waist, but neither wide enough to cumberson nor loose enough to hide figure. "Something .floating around the neck, neatly arranged to float In a certain fashion or hang In a certain way. "An unbroken hip line, something which exhibits the length from the waist to the floor; It may be only a panel or it may be a long girdle; but there's always some thing. "A wrist ornament, something that dangles and makea tha arm look long and slim; It may be a bag with a long gold chain or it may be a reticule with silk strings, but there's sure to be that long, slim arm effect. "Other things make a woman look all. a train for Instance; but It musn t be too long; the little woman with a very long train Is ridiculous; tha tall woman with the long train Is grotesque; but there Is medium which should be carefully studied."

In the seat next to her sat a small dog, which evidently belonged to an elaborately dressed woman Just beyond.

It went something like this: "No one," whined an old horseshoe which hung against the wall, "has endured the fiery trials through which I have passed without any respite being allowed. The sledge hammer and the anvil were my enemies, and between the two I was cruelly treated and found no pity. I was beaten by them most unmercifully, and the blows I received at their hands would have killed an ox. I'm dlhgusted with life, that's what 1 am!" "Hold your foolish tongue?" said a ploughshare, which had sent to the shop for repairs. "Hold your tongue unless you can talk more aenalbly. Roth you and I have been greatly benefited by I fie ordeal through which we have passed. Once, and not so very long ago, e were useless pieces of Iron; but now, look at us you are a useful borsoshoa and 1 am a respect able ploughshare. Horses need you and men need me. To be sure, It took much pain and trouble to get us into shape, but it was worth the effort. You will find that fire purifies and pain strengthens for future good."
