.vsning For a summer wedding tissue
naner bags' filled with rose leaves are
ilven Instead of rice. These make hand-
lome favors, tied with n ribbon bow.
The bags come In many colors, but It Is
well to have them carry out. the color
scheme. The newest table decorations
are small satin slippers, usually tho
same color ns the hrldc’s gown, nnd
trimmed with a little rosette. These
are also to be had glided of china nnd
are less expensive'than the satin.
It Is not necessary to provide any
specific form of amusement for a gar

this country. In England croauet or
tennis Is usually played and the young
•Iris wear short skirts nnd some play,
it would be a good idea to adopt the
English custom and at least have the
wickets In place and balls nnd mallets
at hand for those who may care to play.
You might serve crab croquettes, cold
boiled ham, tiny rolls, or omit the cro
quettes nnd have lobster or salmon
salad, rolls. Ices, fancy cakes, coffee,
rlaret punch or fruit lemonade.
Rood taste never boasts, avoids
(hunting, never parades superior ad

about happenings and honors In her

taste frowns on lavish display, even

bids personalities In public places, loud
talking or laughing at’any time; it puts

THE WOMAN WHO DOES
By ELBERT HUBBARD.
Ella Starr Young Is superintendent
of public schools lu tho city of Chicago
She was recently selected to take the
place which, up to her time, had
always been filled by a man.
Her salary Is 110,000 a year, which
waa the amount that her predecessor
was paid. She hns charge "of property
valued at 1.00,000,000,
She looks after 6,000 teachers and
276,000 pupils. She hires and fires
600 Janitors.
Mrs. Young Is the w-ldow of a school
master, but this did not weigh In the
scale In her selection to the office. She
Is 61 years old.
The fetching powers of a widow, I
nm told, are In abeyance after 60. and
she then goes In on her merits, accept
ing no favors nor giving any.
She Is the only woman I know of In
the world who gets 610,000 a year—and
earns It. There are plenty of women
who spend 610,000 a year. Last month
a lady allmnnlac In New York city
was granted an nllowanee of 666.000 a
year hut this award was not based on
her earning power. It was given simply
because her former husband hod the
money. And he didn't earn the money,
either. He lay under a coconnut tree
nnd the coeoanuts fell on him.
Mrs. Young, however, Is In another
class. She does a man’s work and very
rightly gets a man’s pay. Whether
she would get a man’s pay for doing
a man’s work If she lived In New York
state Is a question I respectfully refer
to my old college chum, Hon. Chas.
E. Hughes. ...
Mrs; Young hns great executive abil
ity. She Is also Judicial and diplo
matic. She has a wide sympathyand
an active Imagination, without being
lachrymose or maudlin In her emotions.
She makes her points and holds them.
She hns the ability to decide, and is
usually right. She Is a seer and a
prophet for she realises the needs of
ihe future. Yet she Is a true Fabian,
nnd always Is wllllng tonccept uhnt
she can get. even If It Is not all she
She has' the letting of lighting and
heating contracts, also contracts for
repairs and In aome Instances building
contracts. Millions of dollars pass thru
her hands. The thought rfgraftlstoo
far removed from her b L, , ,7’“5 „nv
This could not have been sold of any
oYthe male candidates for the IfiMf.
Her Intellect Is high; her purpose no
ble: her character beyond reproach.
She has every quality which the po
sition demands, and one more (han any
other genius could muster—that Is, the
outlook of motherhood. .
So why shouldn’t she have the posl-
** It's a foolish question to ask, since
nobody has hinted , th

h0 rt'"fquSe probable that Vfrttiis, Old

wear whiskers, and no mat) with whis
kers In this rapid nge of the automobile
Should be seriously considered.
Mrs. Young fills the arduous position
and the pay she receives Is none too
great. It would be twice a* much If I
had my way. In this thing of teaching,
as a people, we are very small and nig
gardly. When we get clvlllwd we will
set apart the greatest and best men and
women'In the land, nnd we w
them enough, so that the offer of a
pension will not be an Insult to their
ability to exercise the Savings Bank
Habit.
The world needs more of this strong,
able, hopeful, loving type of folk like
Ella 8tarr Young—people who have In
Itlatlve, nnd who are able to carry re
sponslbtllty.
Woman was the first homemaker—
naturally she Is a builder, while man,
naturally and thru centuries of heblt. Is
a destroyer.
Most of the school teachers under
Mrs. Young are women. It seems but
common sense to suppose’ that a wom-
nn would know more about their needs
and capacities than a man.
It also seems to be n commonplace to
assume that a wnmnn would know the
needs of the chlldrrti better than a mnn.
That a woman should bo penalised on
account of her sex, and be compelled to
do a like service ns a man for half tho
pay seems a barbaric policy.
Illinois Is proving herself tho Surcot
State.
It Is Surely a short-sighted, economic
policy that would deprive a woman of
the right to take a big and responsible
position simply because she Is a wom
an. as w-o occasionally do In New York.
A woman Is a human being. The
divine Intelligence ploys thru her. ex
actlyTis thru n mnn. Among the lower
animals the female Is often vastly supe
rinr to the male In many ways. ,
Among humans she will show herself
the equal of man In every line of social,
economic and Industrial endeavor when
given equal opportunity.
Very many men live on a low mental
piano for the lock of the help of women
with brains. But woman, as a whole,
will never be tho equal of man In men
tal reach until she Is given the right
nnd privilege of using her powers.
The race didn't develop, as long ns
we were thanes, serfs, villains nnd
chattels. lookqil after, controlled, re.
pressed and suppressed by soldiers and
priests.
The first requisite (a growth Is free-,
dom. And with freedom must go re
sponsibility, Let womnn do anything
along the line of the world’s work
which she can do, and let her be pnld
the some for a like service that we pay
to the genus male.
In nil thnt goes to make up mental
worth, to decide wisely and execute
Justly, the Chicago superintendent of
schools has Just as much ability ns the
governor of th* state of New York.
And yet when It comes to having her
political preferences recorded she Is de
barred, nnd In Ihe eves of the law Is n
perpetual minor. The only reason she
can not vote Is because she Is a woman.
And John Temple Graves says that the
reason women should not lie nllowod to
vote Is because they can not bear arms.
However, women bear children, nnd
bear responsibilities; and women are
amenable before the law exactly the
same as men. Yet we do not give her
the right to express her choice as to
whether she shall be .Irctroruted or be
hanged. Neither do we let h»r say who
shall be chosen to finally decide how
she shall die and when.
Men have a few things to learn, one
of which la that we gain freedom for
ourselves only by giving It to others.
