THE GEORGIAN’S KAGAME'PAGE
Thank Heaven, They ’re Not Women
By DOROTHY DIX.
THERE Is one thing tor which all
suffragists should return thanks
to heaven, on their knees, and
♦ hat 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 Clubs, or
the National Suffrage association, say—
who had once been bosom friends, were
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 heard from one end of
the country to, the other that such con
duct showed that women were unfit for
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
consideration to bear on public ques
tions that men did?
Yea, verily.
If two women who wanted the
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
would 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 no more self-control
than is exhibited in this disgusting
struggle for place and power have no
right to the exercise of the franchise,
and it will be a cold Fourth of July
w hen 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 to everybody’s satisfaction that
we are too 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 ft Is also
black, but It is interesting and cynically
amusing to note how different is the
i’ode of morals and manners, even in
politics, by which 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
disfranchised, but If two women were
to contend that way for an office it
would be considered, and used, as a
potent argument against giving women
the right to cote.
When a man wants an office he goes
after it tooth and nail, with a scalping
knife in one hand and a money bag in
the other, but when a woman wants an
office she is lampooned and criticised

Women Must Keep Still.
Apparently when men do certain
things politically they are right. When
women do them they are wrong. Men
who believed that they had a right to
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
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 Roman's cruelty
to wmman makes countless thousands
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
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 hatjd.
But that’s not the point I 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. every
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 ft a baffling and
a perplexing job to be a woman, but
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 we have hopes, and we 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 Clubs 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 sorrv 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
up without making the effort of your
life to awaken her to her danger.
IT WOULD BE VERY WRONG.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
T am eighteen and in love with a fel
low more than one girl is after. Would
it he 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 feel that the quarrel was
mostly my fault. RUTH P.
Tell him you are to blame and are
sorry for the difference. But don’t, be
too anxious or too humble. Just seek a
friendly reconciliation, and trust the
rest to time.

MISS LILLIAN LORRAINE.
“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.”
{{T NEVER look in the glass when I
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 hand glass 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 I answered
quickly. “I’ll take a triple mirror and
all the big mirrors I can get. You
probably only get a good look at your
self in shop windows you look in.”
That may have been a catty remark,
but she certainly looked as if she put
herseif 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 while she was finishing her toilet,
and especially after it was done.
A three-s-lded 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, how 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 back of
the neck is perfectly yellow in com
parison with the white front, but they
have no mirror to see themselves by.
or, like my critical friend, they are
too proud and haughty to care how
they look, and they dress by Instinct
and 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 neck will show it. I have seen
lots of clean, white shirtwaists with a
dingy, yellowish collar at the back,
carelessly fastened with a bow or pin
in front, and how many high collars

Many women think that because a
shirtwaist buttons in the back a miss
ing button is of no particular conse
quence. Like 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.
But, of course, the worst sins against
tidiness are committed in the depart
ment of hair, for so many girls think
that if their bangs are 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 ill-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 hair is done up.
To accomplish the best results in
brushing, part the hair in sections or
strands; have a perfectly clean brush:
oil ft with a very little bit of salad
oil or brilliantine. or if you like you
can u»e vaseline instead. The way to
oil the hair Is first to rub a little of
the oil in the palm of the hand; rub
. this on the brush and then brush your
ha i r.
When I have a chance to see some
other play than the one I am playing
In myself. I always look over the heads
of haii- in the orchestra, and frequent
ly wonder how women with good-eye
sights and enough Intelligence to dress
, the front part of the hair so becom
ingly. seem to utterly ignore the fact
that people sitting behind them get 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 back of their head.
Artificial hair is a fearful give-away;
that's one of the reasons why I am

One of the prettiest ways to do up
hair, for a young git 1 !, especially if the
hair is a little curly, is to brush the
hair away fro'm the forehead in a soft

head; take a band of narrow velvet
ribbon about an inch in width, lay ii
over the pampadour and fasten be
hind 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
head. If the hair is thick, knot it at
the top of the bead or lower down if
more becoming. If it is thin and
short, curl 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 haii
with hot irons, especially not in hot
weather.
The big coronet ' braid or hair

style, and the plain Greek headdress,

the sides, and knotted loosely at the
back, is becoming again a favored
mode of hair dressing.

He had been right: the man In his de
cent. scrupulous silk hat. with his dis
creet bag and silk hat, had been a solici

it all the time. He looked down at the
cord, and saw how it had been twisted by
nervous fingers—a familiar, irritating
trick of Edith's. Edith had known all the

In a sudden burst of nervous anger he

Anthony Barrington, usually so sensitive
to every fleeting change that passed over
the face of Nature, the rare charm of the
afternoon made no appeal. He paced the
winding, moss-grown paths, a man com
panioned by ugly thoughts; a man on
whose shoulders little Devil Doubt sat and
gibbered and chattered unceasingly

for a smile relieved the stolidity of his
face and twinkled in his brilliant black
eyes: a smile that had not wholly died

his thoughts, however, to be by the side
of the wheel, hat In hand, before- the
driver of the taxi alighted.
Edith Barrington’s greeting had some
thing of the graciousness which her re
ception of the solicitor of the previous
afternoon had lacked. The vigil of the
night had taught her wisdom, as well
as given her courage.
She needed all the courage a woman
might summon, and found it little enough
as she followed the inspector and the
solicitor down the flagged passages to the
room where the meeting was to take
place.
Her heart beat suffocatingly: all her
pulses hammered. For a second a mist

"What a very ridiculous and wholly

His eyes sought hers mercilessly. H«

the compression of the beautiful lips that
told of the struggle with fear which was
; raging within. But, apart from this, the
beautiful face was proud and cold. He
felt an intense desire stir in him to see
her humbled, seeking quarter at his feet.
He bad never succeeded In taming her—

Mrs. Barrington, returning the look,
was conscious of a bitter disappointment:
she realized that she had expected to find

in the face of the danger that threatened
him. at least not the suave, cynical indi

speak, to break his obstinate silence.
“Now that I am here, what Is it that,
you want of me?" she repeated. “Money

she leaned forward and put a rapid ques

Again he shrugged his shoulders. “You
