him up for a friend with whom I had
been going about seven years ago. I
now feel that I would like to renew my
friendship with this gentleman, but don't
.know how to go about It.
This gentleman lives quite a dlstancn
from me, and I have heard through
friends that he still likes me, but he is
going with another girl. 1 wouldn't like,
to mako any advances, because I don't
want to give him the Idea that I am run

Aro you quite sure that your desire is
prompted by love for tho man. or Jealousy
of the other girl? The two sentiments aro
so much alike It Ib sometimes difficult to
dlstlnsulsh between them.
If you offended, you must be the first
to apologize, even at the risk of being
misunderstood. But don't play fast and
loose with your friends In this fashion.

A Suffragist's Claim to Life
By FKAXCKS GAHSl !;.
"Why does tho suffrugist make the

after me thoughtfully, laying her pen
down by a half finished cartoon.
"The suffragist," she said slowly,
"makes tho best wife and mother ami
always will make the best wife and
mother, because she Is the thinking
woman of the world today.
"The thinking woman Is always the life
woman, tho Interested and interesting
woman, the Imaginative, growing, feel

"The suffragist is looking her domestic
life squarelv in tho face. She Is realiz

what sui rounds It. She thinks about
her husband and children, what tiny
wear and where it conies from, what
they eat and where It comes from, md
how to get It to them. She thinks about
where her children play and what effect
the place has upon them mentally and
morally.
"She sees clemly that the American
homo Is no longer sot apart by Itself,
as It was 10O ears ago, producing nearly
everything It needed, from light to sho
and hats.
"She understands that her home nnd
every home In tho fnltcd States Is a
center, around which a million mighty
trades and Interests revolve. Great fac
tories make the clothes her children
wear. If sho would protect the health
of her children she must tegulate the
health of tho factory' workers.
"She realizes that the bakeries that
supply her with bread and pastry, the
factories that handle the thousand and

Inspected, else her family must suffer.
Sh.e understands that the care of the
