THE CrEOBGHAWS MAGAZINE PAGE Thank Heaven, They’re Not Women By DOROTHY DIX. r pH FRF. is one thing for which all | suffragists should return thanks to heaven, on their knees, and that is that neither President Taft nor ex- President Roosevelt is a woman. Suppose two women who were candi dates for the highest elective office in the gift of their sex—the presidency of the Federation of Women's Flubs, or the National Suffrage association, say w ho had once been bosom friends, wore going about the country raking up each other s past and vilifying and abusing each other like fishwives. Suppose that the kindest epithet that they hurled at each other was Hussy! Cat! Liar! Ingrate! Fat Slob! and other compliments of the same kidney, wouldn't there be hoard from one end of the country to the other that such con <iuct showed that women were unfit for Mto-government or to participate in government ? Wouldn’t men declare that it proved how emotional, illogical and prejudiced women were, and how unable they were to bring the same calm, dispassionate • onsideration to bear on public ques tions that men did? Vea, verily. If two women who wanted the same honor and office should act as our two most exalted statesmen are now doing It would put the cause of suffrage for women back 50 years. "Look at the hysteria of the performance!” men w ould cry. "Consider the disloyalty and the treachery of them! Look at the wire pulling! Observe how; brit tle friendships are when they stand in the way of selfish ambition! Certainly, those who have nn more self-control 'han is exhibited in this disgusting struggle for place and power have no right to rhe exercise of the franchise, and it will boa cold Fourth of July when we put the ballot in their hands!” Lucky For Surffage Cause. Yes. indeed, it certainly Is lucky for suffragists that Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt wear trousers instead of pet ticoats, because if two women had en gaged in such a mud-slinging contest as they have, and had back-bitten each other as they have, we should have proved tn everybody’s satirfactio’n that we are ton emotional to be trusted to handle a loaded weapon like the vote. Os course, there's no argument in the kettle reminding the pot that It is also black, but it is interesting and cynically amusing to note how different is the code of morals and manners, even in politics, by w hich men and women are judged. Nobody, for instance, is fool ish enough to think that the unseemly wrangle between Mr. Taft and Mr. Roosevelt indicates that men are un fitted for self-government, or should be disfranchise d. but if tw o women were to contend that way for an office it ■would he considered, and used, as a potent argument again.-t giving women the right to coto.

Men who believed that they had a right to 1 a voice in making the laws that rule them have fought bloody battles to establish their rights, and the world has applauded them for it. But a , shriek, that is echoed around the i world.has gone up because some wo men. who thought that they had a right to a voice in making laws that govern them, smashed a few windows. Heaven only knows what would hap pen if a woman should shed a drop of blood in her struggle for liberty. Another curious and humorous illus tration of the things that a man may do, and a woman may not do. is shown in the. right that men have to judge a matter on its merits, while a wo man Is compelled to always lug In the eternal sex equation For example, you often hear it said that woman’s cruelty , to woman makes countless thousand mourn, and not that nobody is hard on an erring woman as another wo man. In the first place, there isn't a word of truth in this assertion. Women , at;e women s best friends, and there is no hand that is so steadily held out in helpfulness to the unfortunate of her sex as the woman's hand. But that's not the point f want to make here. What I want to call at tention to is that a man is accorded a perfect right to Judge another man freely, and say so. If a man finds another man to be a liar and a thief and a'hypocrite, nobody accuses him of being actuated by Jealousy and envy if he blackballs the unworthy one at a club and refuses to associate with him. If a man commits a terrible crime no body expects other men to be filled with maudlin sentiment about him. No matter what another woman is, no other woman can ever criticise her without being called a cat, and if she has the moral courage and hardihood to hold that sex doesn't justify crime and that the woman who breaks the law should be punished for It. body turns on her the old cry that it is woman against woman, and that wo men have no pity for each other. All of which means it a baffling and a perplexing job to be a. woman, hut amidst its difficulties Providence has vouchsafed us one mercy—it made Taft and Roosevelt our brothers instead of our sisters. Otherwise we should never have heard the last of the dangers of the emotional sex in politics, and the polls would have been the north pole to which no skirt would have pene trated for a generation to come. As it Is wo have hopes, and wo point with pride to the fact that the two ladies who are now rivals for the dis tinguished office of president of the Federation of Women’s <’lubs are con ■ ducting a campaign that is fragrant with rose water, and each is saying that the other is perfectly sweet and a darling, and would make Just a lovely president if she is elected. lady and am sorry now that I went away in a huff. ANXIOUS. Tell her you are sorry you became angry, and tell her also, emphatically, coolly and convincingly, of the danger a girl Invites who is so indiscreet. If she refuses to heed, she doesn't care for you, and it may be the best thing for you that the break in your rela tions has occurred. But don't give her tip without making t/ie effort of your life to awaken her to her danger. IT WOULD BE VERY WRONG. Dear Miss Fairfax: I am eighteen and in love with a fel low more than one girl is after. Would It be right if I should ask him if he really loves me'.' c. m. That is the.very last thing you should l think of doing. If "more than one girl" is after him. let him see you hope one of them will get him. An attitude of indifference on a girl's part will awaken interest in any man who is pursued by other girls. His vanity is piqued and he begins to take notice of the girl who resists his charms. The rest is easy. "AN HONEST CONFESSION.” Dear Miss Fairfax: Some time ago I kept company with a handsome young man. We quarreled and parted, and I have not seen him since. Now, I love this young man dearly, and fee! that the quarrel was mostly my fault. RUTH p. Tell him you are tn blame- and are sorry for the difference. But don't be too anxious or too ljumble.

"I have never seen anything to admire in a woman who didn’t take pains to get a good view of herself in the looking glass." <4 T iook 1,1 l-he Flass when J I do up my hair." a girl said to me once, as I was struggling to get a good look at myself by the aid of a band glais and a large mirror at the back. "No," my critical friend went on. "I could dress perfectly without any mir rors at all," and she looked at me with such disapproval that 1 answered quickly. "I’ll take a triple mirror and all the big mirrors I can get, You probably only get a good look at you - self in shop windows you look in." That may have been a catty remark, but she certainly looked as if she put herself together in the dark, and I've never seen anything to admire In a woman who didn't take pains to get a good view of herself in the looking glass w hile she was finishing her toilet, and especially' after if was done. A three-sided mirror is something of an extravagance, but one good one will last you a. lifetime, and you will bless it daily, for the hints it gives you on how to dress, bow your hair looks, and the back view you present to the • public. Most, people are awfully careless about the back view, men as well as women. A man thinks he's all right as long as he’s not bald on top of his head, and you couldn't make him take a scalp treatment or apply tonics to that little round bald spot which only shows at the back. Careless Women. Many women seem to think If they powder their faces and two inches of the front of the neck, the back will take care of itself. Os course the hack of the neck is perfectly yellow in . com parison with the white front, hut they have no mirror to see themselves by. or, like my crith al friend, they are too proud and haughty to care how they look, and they dress by instinct an<l powder by Intuition. The back of the neck and the collar is a very good indication of a girl's neatness or her lack of it. Even a Dutch nock will show ft.

Many women think that because a shirtwaist buttons in the back a miss ing button Is of no particular conse quence. bike the ostrich who buries his head at the sight of danger, what they don't see does not trouble them. Another fearful spectacle which is part of the back view of many’ people are the downtrodden heels of otherwise good shoes, and the skirt that sags at the back and is at least two inches longer in the rear than in the front. Rut, of course, the worst sins againsi tidiness are committed in the depart ment of bail’, for so many girls think that if their bangs arc ail right they can trust the back of their heads to the manipulation of their fingers without the guidance of a double mirror. Sins of the Hair, I often notice that front hair is well brushed and well combed, bright and shiny. On the contrary, the hair at the back looks coarse and dry and 111-cared for. Many girls in brushing their hair at night simply part the hair in the middle of the head and brush down either side of the face making the front of the hair quite smooth and paying no attention to the back and under part of the hair which is most conspicuous when the hail- Is done up. To accomplish the best results in brushing, part the hair in sections or strands: have a perfectly clean brush: oil it with a very little bit of salad oil or brllllantine. or if you like you can use vaseline instead. The way to oil the hail- is first io rub a little of the oil in the palm of the hand; rub this on the brush and then brush your hair. When I have a chance to sen some other play than the one I am playing in my self, I always look over the heads of hair in the orchestra, and frequent ly wonder how women with good eye sights and enough intelligence t<> dress the front part of the hair so beeom, Ingly. seem in utterly ignore the fa, i that people Hiring behind them g,q a good back view and have a wonderful opportunity of studying the various shades and qualities of artificial hair which they so dexterously pile upon the bac k of their head Artificial hair is a fearful give away that's one of the reasons why I am against it It necei never, I like th< halt that grows upon your hear!.

I will just note a few of the prevailing styles, hut no one • an really advise another person, espe cially without having seen that per- One of tlie prettiest ways to do up hair, for a young girl, especially if the hair is a little curly, is to brush the hair away from the forehead in a soft l>ompadour. but without any rats or pad. Knot the hair at the top of the head: take a band of narrow velvet ribbon about an inch In width, lav it over the pampadour and fasten be ltin'] in the nape of the neck. This flattens out the pompadour, of course, and curls and waves of hair can be brought forward from underneath and arranged prettily over the fore -1 head. If the hair is thick, knot it at the top of the head or lower down if more becoming. If it is thin and short, cur) it over a curling stick, using a little sugar and water, and fasten the curls with hairpins to the velvet ribbon, dividing it. into three parts for the back and two sides. I don't approve of curling the hair with hot Irons, especially not in hot weather. The big coronet braid nr hair braided in two braids brought for ward from the back, crossing th» cen ter of the head, is always a becoming style, and the plain Greek headdress, the hair parted In the middle of the forehead, brought down softly over the sides, and knotted loosely at the back, is becoming again a favored mode of hail dressing.

"I came," she replied, “for the best rea son in the world because I could not help it.” Up gave a faint shrug “You have still the old genius for ob truding the unpleasant.” he said. “If you ladies would only realize that the un palatable loses much of its bitterness if it is properly clothed!

"Was it merely to bp impertinent to me that you sent for me?” she asked The man smiled at her serenely. He sat down also, near the table, leaning his elbows upon it, his chin on his white, folded hands. "What a very ridiculous and wholly unnecessary question!" he said, quietly. His eves sought hers mercilessly. He noted the sudden blanching of her cheek, the compression of the beautiful lips that told of the struggle with fear which was raging within. But, apart from this, the beautiful fare was proud and cold. He felt an intense desire‘stir in him to see her humbled, seeking quarter at his feet.
