Before the mirror hours and hours
Felicia moulds her face;
With scented soap she scours and
scours,
To leave no grimy trace.
Where paint belongs, the paint’s ap
plied;
Flesh powder hides the tan—
Felicia fain would be a bride
And captivate some man.
She does not celebrate nor stir,
Though other folks are gay;
Each day in all the year for her
Is Decoration Day.

Southern States Woman
Suffrage Conference
The contributions made for the suf
frage campaign in Louisiana vary all
the way from a two hundred dollar
checks to breast-pins and pigs. Many
women in the desire to give something
to help gain the vote for Louisiana wo
men have made substantial donations
of money, others whose purses are
light but with strong convictions for
equality, have searched among thei
adornments and treasures for bits of
discarded jewelry that can be melted
in value. The women on the farms
have promised in a number of in
stances, to set aside a wee pig and
raise it for the suffrage cause. These
suffrage pigs will sell for a goodly
sum on reaching maturity and suf
frage sausage or ba
con will be accorded coveted places on
fortunate breakfast tables. But
whether dollars, pigs, sausage or
brooches ,the suffragists agree that
their method will be as effective as
bullets in obtaining the vote.

English forces, in his latest rep°rt,
mentions the names of fifty-eight wo

Recently, General French paid a
visit to bis aged sister especially to tell
her that he had become convinced that

mills which have obtained licenses for
1 this purpose are allowed to use the
cotton, and before they can do so they
must comply with certain regulations.
The purpose of the new regulations
is to prevent the entrance into the
country of the pink boll weevil worm
in the seed of foreign cotton. Seed in
fected in this way has been found in
1 a number of shipments and it is felt
j that stringent measures are necessary.
women should have full and equal
power in government, and that even
on the battlefield they have an import

American women are quite as patri

i equally intelligent to exercise the

“As to the natural fitness cf women
to exercise the right of suffrage, there
hardly can be any doubt. If there are
some questions that men seem bet
ter endowed by nature to discuss and
decide, on the other hand there are
equally important questions that come
within the province of women; ques
tions to the settling of which she would
bring a judgment riper by reason of
her superior intuition and safer by
reason of her deeper religious nature.
To my mind the question resolves it
self into one of practical experiency.’

Suffrage Live Issue In
Georgia This Year.
At no time in Georgia’s history have
suffragists been so active as during
the present legislative session. The At
lanta Constitution reports: “The two
; best bets for excitement this year seem
to lie in prohibition measures and in
woman suffrage. Warm fights will
probably be made in both issues.”
The suffragists are working for sev
eral measures. Full suffrage for wo
men, a compulsory education law, a
bill to enable Georgia women to prac
tice law, and a law to raise the age of
protection for .girls from 10 to 18
years. Think of a state which does
not protect a little girl of ten from the
lust of any man! Surely Georgia
needs women’s help in framing law 3
in the interest of the home.
