withal expressive slang, "to be sneezed
at." Those who have organized the
congress are to be congratulated on
having brought into being so ex
tensive a society, and one which haa
with indisputable courage taken on ita
shoulders the solution of time-honored
problems. The congress originated,
moreover, not as our federation of wo
men's clubs has done, out ot the found
ation of huLdreds of small organizations
in towns and cities all over the country,
but simply out of Paris, a non club pro
ducing place. The women prominent
in the congress do not want to vote; I
do not even know that they want to
convert anybody. They are the con
servative element of progressive French
womanhood, interesting themselves in
their property rights, in marriage laws,
in education, in art, science and letters.
At their invitation aelegates have come
to the congress from England, America,
Germany, Italy, Russia, Switzerland,
Sweden, Belgium, Denmark, Austria,
Spaio, Armenia, Turkey and India.

I ain't got time for kfesin't
For I've got a lot to do,- -The

An' it took no 'count of you.
It took mt mighty sudden

With a hedge o bloomin' luaflowea,

I heard a brsncho whinny
Down in Central Park tonight.
And a stunnia' woman cut him
Aa' whirled him out o sight.
He knew me for ha brother,
Standio' lonesome in the throng.
And (he fever took him s jdden
An' he pasxd the word along.
I guess I know the folia'
When it gets a hold that way,
Lord I There ain't enough o' wonua
For to coix a man to stay.
So I've got my waliun' papers,
An' Pra goto' to loose the reins,

Till I strike the Kansas phumy

Till I sit and try my luck

From the tropics to the snow,
Got their boois in Dawson, maybe,
An' their hate in Mexico.

An' I hate your dirty town,
Where the mmll rob a fellow
