EQUAL SUFFRAGE NOTES 
There is very good news from 
Wyoming, the state which has had 
Woman Suffrage the longest of any, 
and now has a woman member in the 
legislature. This legislature has just 
closed a remarkable session, in which 
these things were accomplished :—an 
eight hour law for women and girls 
Was passed; married women were 
given their dowry rights; a mothers’ 
pension law was passed; capital pun- 
ishment was partially abolished; 
medical inspection in the schools was 
provided for; and Mrs. Morna 
Wood herself (the woman member ) 
introduced a bill prohibiting employ- 
ment of children in injurious occu- 
pations. All of this good legislation 
and other recent good laws are ad- 
mitted to be largely due to the wo- 
men voters and Mrs. Wood. Equal 
Suffrage is beginning to have its full 
effect in the pioneer state! 
Local news is also cheering. The 
Suffrage campaign canvassers who 
have been working in Haverhill the 
past three weeks report that 75 per- 
cent of the voters there seem to be 
in favor of equal suffrage. And the 
Haverhill Ministers association last 
week unanimously passed resolutions 
in favor of woman suffrage. 
A newspaper man in Boston writes: 
—“Several cities contemplate Public 
Welfare Committees. This work is 
peculiarly adapted to women. Each 
home is a little welfare committee in 
itself, of which Mother in the Presi- 
dent and Father is the Vice Presi- 
dent. And Mother is on the job 
morning, noon and _ night.” 
Eminent opinions are being col- 
lected at the State Headquarters in 
Boston. Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of 
Harvard (one of the most noted edu- 
—— “The 
reasons for favoring Woman’s suf- 
frage are precisely the same as those 
favoring the suffrage of men, name- 
ber of the class. 
ly, that they are human beings, a 
part of the groups which have or- 
ganized themselves into nations. Ail 
argument for government of the 
people, by the people and for the 
people, apply as much to women as 
to men.” 
Another of the great meetings 
which have overflowed the Tremont 
Theatre in Boston once a month, 
will be held next Sunday afternoon, 
at Colonial Theatre, at 3.30 o’clock. 
The chief speaker will be Miss 
Helen Varick Boswell, president of 
the Women’s Forum of New York 
city. 
The next meeting of the Manches- 
ter E.. Sx League ‘will be a Tea,at 
the home of Mrs. Charles Hatch, on 
Wednesday afternoon, April 21st, at 
three-thirty o’clock. Mrs. William 
Codman Sturgis will come out from 
Boston to give a talk on her Colo- 
rado experiences. Mrs. H. E. Rus- 
sell and others from Boston will 
come. with Mrs. Sturgis. 
“THE PRINCE OF PEACE” 
Secretary Bryan observed his 
fifty-fifth birthday by signing one of 
his peace treaties, th at Colonel 
Roosevelt speaks of as “‘scraps of 
paper,” The officials of the State 
Department are very fond of their 
chief, and they gave him a little in- 
formal reception. Mrs. Daniels, 
wife of the Secretary of the Navy, 
presented a birthday cake, made by 
herself, on the top of which were 
fifty-five candles. When Bryan first 
became a national figure he was the 
handsome “boy orator of the Platte,” 
but in these Jeffersonian days no one 
ever speaks of his beauty, though he 
is still as able as ever to qualify as 
an orator,

Dresses FoR HicH ScHoor GRAp-

For years Paris has been setting 
the pace in styles, but of late there 
has been a tendency among Amer- 
icans to fix their own styles in wear- 
ing apparel of all kinds. Simpler 
and less expensive dressing for high 
school graduates has been advocated 
for several years, and now Washing- 
ton bids fair to fix the fashion for 
sweet girl graduates. The movement 
for greater simplicity in graduation 
gowns has been started by Central 
High School, and the other four in- 
stitutions here are expected to fol- 
low the example. “Simpler dressing 
at graduations will be accomplished 
only through education,” said E. L. 
Thurston, superintendent of the pub- 
lic schools. “It is a thing to be de- 
sired, and more persons are con- 
stantly coming to a realization of the 
fact. Public sentiment is being 
formed in favor of greater simplicity, 
and I feel certain that this will re- 
sult in less expensive dressing at the 
spring graduation exercises.” 
The ‘girl graduates of McKinley 
Manual Training School will con- 
tinue their established custom on de- 
signing and making their own com- 
mencerent costumes. These gowns 
are not uniform, nor are they simple 
to an extreme, but the prevailing ten- 
danev is toward simplicity. This 
tendancy is ‘becoming noticeably 
more marked because of the influ- 
ence exerted by teachers of domestic 
art. 
Never marry a jealous woman. 
A woman who is jealous is almost
