Beatrice Fairfax Says:
'Tonic- In without knouklnfr nml
jto nut the same itr-" In a uood
motto for Kirls,
By BKATKICK FAIRFAX.
"Come lu without knocking," reuds a
sign hung on many business doom, "and
go out the same way."
"Of rourse," says the woman shopper
indignantly. "I will go In without knock
ing Surely 1 havo enough sense to know
one shouldn't knock at the door of a
store or shop the uamo as one knocks
at the door of a private residence."
She goes In without knocking. Does she
go out the same way?
Wo will leave that question to tlu
thousands of girls who earn their bread'
and butter on the other side of the
counter. When they get home at night
and show their bruises, they display also
a woeful lack of consideration which
ninny of their own sex hav shown them.
That they are sometimes as inconsid
erate In return, no one disputes, but this
Is sure. The woman on the buying Bide
of the counter never received better treat
ment by forgetting the second clause of
the motto she saw hanging on the door.
If she got out a hammer, the girl who
waited on her immediately displayed a
hqrdor resistance. That Is human nature,
i ButJ it Is a good motto, so good it
should not be confined exclusively to
business doors. There is an urgent need
for It on the doors of homes.
On every will thero are mottos like
these: "Hope looks for unqualified suc
cess; but faith counts certainly on failure,
and takes honorable defeat to be a form
of victory-" "For charily begins blind
fold, and only through a series of similar
misapprehensions arises at length into
a settled principle of love and patlem-c.
and a firm belief in all our fellow men."
or "The first step for all Is to learn to
the dregs our own Ignoble fallibility," etc
etc. But time Is short, the brain Is tired,
and nerves are worn ragged, and the one
who "Goes in without knocking," doesn't
stop to read, and cannot, out of tho
depths of his fatigue, comprehend If ho
does. . '
But it requires no effort of the brain to
comprehend this: "Come in without
knocking and go out the sum way."
You go into your home at night with
out knocking. . Of course you do, for St
l.i your homo and you enjoy the latchkey
Privilege. But once across its threshold,
to you conduct-pourself In such a manner
that you can say next day that you
"wont out tho name way?"
'I' do not ask tho question of the men.
livery woman knows that it is more or
levs of a masculine privilege to possess
the hammer, but I nsk It of the girls.
.They go home from school, from the
llttlo pink tea foollshnea of society or
from tho more serious places In life whero
they arc encaged In earning living, ami
enter without knocking. Tho school girl

ence in the years to come, nnd is cro-si;
tlioglrl who comes home from the pink
tea foollphnns saw much there to envy,
and as pink teas are not conducive tu
sitimlblo thought, is somewhat resentful,
Olid the girl who goes homo from hard
labor ail day argues that she had to be
pleasant all day and can't be pleasant a
moment longer.
Just as all complaints are told to the
trouble man with a telephone company
so do all complaints in tho homo reach
mother. She Ib the central who hears
of all that Is wrong, and receives scant
praise when everything is right. Tho
girls, from wherever they come, regard
less of what they have been doing all
day. exercise the privilege that being at
home gives them and proceed to knock
as eoon as they havo crossed the
threshold.
Mother hears a complaint because the
teacher was unfair; there Is a whine be
cause some- other girl has prettier clothes
or a prettier home; there Isn't anything
for supper wortli coming homo for; or
it Is late, and should be early when a
girl wants to dress to go out.
Hammer after hammer Is raised and
brought down mercilessly, and the
woman on whom shoulders these blows
fall Isn't one who Is denying the family
one Jot of comfort ithut in within her
power to give. Who has never considered
the daily sacrifice she makes of herself
in her effort tb please; she has denied
herself necessities; forgotten that the
world holds any luxuries; knows nothing
of rest, and, bo far as possible, has ef
faced herself In every problem of divi
sion that there might be a larger share
for her children.
Girls, when you enter your home to.

That you will be able to say when you

"All women aro mothers. You don't
have to liavo children to bo a mother.
And every woman should do something
for that big, lovable, needy child
humanity."
It was a broad platform, that of Atlas
Ruth Richmond, the sweet-faced young
woman, who Is the daughter of a Justice
of the supremo court of Tcxns, and who
In New Yolk is working out her human
itarian theories in the form of a club.
It Is a unique club, In that it will bo like
Switzerland, for It Imh no president. Its
name is the Muses, and every woman is
eligible to It. Tho Muses Is a woman's
republic. Ith attractive founder says the
name is a injHnomer, for there arc only
nine muses and all women may enlist
under its, broad banner.
Heretofore thore has been a strong line
of demarcation between women's clubs.
They havo been of two klndu for tho
women who achieve outside their homo
and the women who work within Its
walls. The Colony cluti Is for women
who have achieved In society, tho I'ro
"fesslojial 'Woman's league for actresses,
authors nnd members of the allied arts,
tho Twelfth Night In other professions.
The mothers' clubs have had for thtir
object an uplift in that hlgheat of pro
fessions motherhood. The cookinir clubs
havi alined at culinary perfection. But
tho line between the home woman and
the out-ln-the-world woman lias been
strongly drawn. The Muses wipes out
that line with the sponge of a world
wide sisterhood.
"The Ideal club lias two purposes to
fostf r thu good tnlngM and to make 'the
1 ad Into good," asserted Miss Richmond.
"Tho Muse will build a club houuo
which will ho a temporary residence for
members. For Instance, a woman doc
tor may be tlrtd after a case, and her
j home may be a long distance from her
j patient. Tho club will be a place whero
tne can rest for an hour.

When a woman dies her husband can

lo! und behold! there comes his wife ti
