sweetly and helpfully that before it rea -Ized
whnr ha 1 happened it had quite for

All through tho summer tho Ivy vine
grew and grow. It spread Its dninty ten
drils over tho sturdy oak trunk; It crept
up manv of tho branches and around
many of the forks and limbs, nut all
the wbilo it was growing, tho llttlo ivy
vino wns too busy, oh, fnr too busy, to

promptly replied, "Are you speakln? to

either vinos or folks nro busy growing
they have no time to think about them

But when tho autumn came nnd tho
frosty winds began a-blowlng, tho Ivy
vine stopped its industrious growing and
looked around for a fow days of rest and

leaves.
And then, for tho tlrst time, it noticed

oak tree tho most noticed of all trees.
"That's easy" laughed Jack Frost.
I'll help you nnd wo'll get the work all

the ivy leaves bright crimson and when
the morning Bun shone on them the oak
tree was the most brilliant In tho forest!

More thnn 21 years ngo nilhu Hoot de
livered a speech that made the suffragists
n mad ns It made tho nntls Bind. In
reckoning up the reasons why the fnlr
set should not bo permitted to bo to the
polls, he raid some sweet things about
woman nnd the home no, not pnrtlcu
lnrly original, even In 1fll; but Mr. Itoot
said them, and therefore they hnd
weight.
The "nntls" thought so, nt nny rate.
They seized upon tho speech with avidity,
and have been using It ns part of their
prorngnnd.i This jonr IJHhu reiterated
the statements contained In It.
Miss Wlnncho I. West, a Camden suf
fragist, declares she can ntnnd It no
longer. Tho Senator In her opinion has
been nvlntlng In the cloud of sentlmen
tnllty long enough. Somebody ought to
hnvo turned n mnchlno gun of logic on
him yenra nun. she np-mrtt,, and so, tak
ing bin contention p'ono bv piece, she
subjects them to n riddling process thnt
irml.es It look ns though the Renntor will
hnvo to got , new Aoblclo If lip wants
to fly In the "nutl" ntmophoro. Ills 1S9I
modnl, ncrordliw to Miss West, Is quite
worn nut nnd uttcily worthless for prac
tical, modern pttrposti.
"Tho Hfiht of equal franchise." she
says, "may not bo n nntuinl ono In tho
sight of the Hon. Klllm Knot, but In the
sight of every fair-minded nerson. mnn
or woman, It Is n most just one, and in
tho jenra to come, when puffrnep has be- i
como it universal net, those who wore
most earnest In their condemnation will
wonder how thoy ever could bavo looked
upon It ns anything else but the natural
result of progression in a. nobler and
broader form.
"The question Is most assuredly one
of expediency, tho exponents of the
cnuso having In niiiid the wide differentia
tion of sexes, seeing In the differentiation
tho culmination of n model foim of gov
ernment or democracy. The feminine mind
will tnko up nnd Introduce questions
which mnn In his commercial field does
not think of, or, If ho docs, merely
brushes nsldo as unimportant
"Woman's naturo l.s essentially her own;
It was put Into her nt the tlmo of creation,
and sho could not change It If sho so
desired Therefore, tho mere Inking upon
herself tho functions Implied In suffrage
does not glvo her the power of lifting nnd
tossing nsldo Inherent qualltlcH as she
would a cloak.
" 'TIs true tho political field li full of
contention, bitterness, heart burning, ex
citement, otc , but what Hold In life does
not contain nt least two or three of those
elements. If the nrenn of conflict will
cause a woman to abandon nil the nobler
and sweeter characteristic, of hnt
value hns her life becn7 AVo all know
that metal Is put Into tho tire In order
that It may be molded Into the desired
shupc. Tho woman who would nllow po
litical duties to mako her 'hard, harsh,
unlovable, repulsive,' would easily be
overcome by those qualities In tho gen
eral struggle of life.
"There are millions of women forced
Into tho world of strife or business
through no volition of their own, but
fiom tho fnet that the natural protector
ban been taken away from them, or, as
Is often the case, refused to assume
thoso obligations, or ebe bo la not In evi
dence nt nil. Investigation nnd Btii"dy
of tho question from nil sides has re
vealed tho need of woman suffrage as a
protection In instances where men have
failed to net that part, for men, I nm
sorry to s.ty, are not all like tho Hon.
Kllhu Hoot, nnd bavo often, particularly
In Industrial fields, taken advantage of
the 'gentle creature' nnd forced her to
labor under conditions that those moro
fortunately situated shudder to think of.
"It Is not that woman craves to usurp
or partake of the functions of men; her
object Is a inthcr worthier ono than that.
Hut sho feels that, as sho Is cnnablo of
holding the reins of government of tho
home In her hnnds, tho bearing, shnplng

ROASTING OYSTERS A MERRY
GAME FOR CREOLE BELLES
IN OLD Creole days it was the custom
to have parties at which the belles
to havo parties at which the belles
and beaux contested in a very unlquo
game. This, while serving to glvo plenty
of merriment and an opportunity for shy
llttlo flirtations on tho side, hud tho
added advantage of supplying the most
Important part of tho refreshments. The
Southern method of roasting oysters Is
given below, and tho hostess who Is
looking for something new in the wny of
entertainment will do well to remember
this recipe.
Itoastcd oysters Take three dozen
large, fat oysters; clean the shells thor
oughly, set them on tho top of the stove
or place In a baking pan until tho shells
are easily removed. Remove the flat
outer shell, butter tho oyster In tho deep
shell and serve very hot with Bait and
pepper. Tho baking only takes a few
minutes.
Creole oyster fritters Take ! dozen
largo oysters, drain them in a colander
and remove carefully any pieces of shell
or grit that may adhere. Chop the oysters
line. Take 2 eggs and beat until very
light, then add a cup of milk nn rub In
smoothly 2 cups of flour and 1 teaspoon
ful of good baking powder. Mix well
and then drop in tho oysters, which must
bo dry. Then drop Into boiling oil or
lard. When browned on one side turn on
the other, being careful not to use a
fork or to pierce them, as that would
render the oysters and fritters heavy.
Use a skimmer In removing from the pot,
nnd drain n brown paper. Serve on a
dish on which you havo placed a folded
EXCLUSIVENESS IS THE MAIN THING, AFTER ALL-
tho centra ol the table. A good substi
tute for this Is a few stnlks of dried
corn, tied artistically together with
orange ribbon. Autumn foliage may bo
gathered almost anywhere, and makes
a ttunnlng festoon for tho cbnndeller.
Small renl or papier macho pumpkin
heads, red devils, blnck cats and the
usual witches may be suspended from
these garlands of leaves most attrnc
tlvely. If you uso candles on the table,
bo sure to veil tho artificial lights about
tho room with orango paper.
Mnny hostesses favor tho largo "real"
pumpkin head, hollowed out and Illumi
nated, for a centrepiece. This may rest
upon n base of autumn leaves, nnd makes
a pleasing noto of color with Its cheer
ful Brin. Smart llttlo cut-out figures,
such as miniature cats and pumpkins,
may be mounted on toothpicks and stuck
In tho Ico crenm. Those mny bo In sil
houette style or dono in orango and
green.
Tho Halloween supper may bo Just as
formal or as Informal ns one chooses.
For tho small party, at which young men
nnd women have Informal frolics, ono
may serve a buffet affair, with sand
wiches of all kinds, nuts, cheese grated
(pimento), poppers, jolly, sliced tongue
nnd chicken, and stuffed olives, pickles,
crnckers nnd several kinds of cheese,
cldot or coffee. If ono prefers it. After
this comes tho Ice cream and cako course.

except for tho decorations. If ono likes
to serve something more elaborate than
the slmplo buffet lunch given, creamed
lobster, chicken, chicken a la king, lob
ster newburgh, rarebit, or any of these
delicacies may bo added.
i napkin, and garnish wltn sprigs or parsley
and asparagus tips.
"La Medlatrlce" Is the charmingly
significant name given to old Creole
oyster loaf. Tho Idea is that any hus
band who is detained downtown or dis
pleases his better halt in nny way may
bring homo this "peacemaker," as the
Creoles call It, and bo forgiven. Be that
as It may, hero Is the recipe: Take deli
cate loaves of French bread and cut oft
lengthwise tho upper portion. Dig tho
crumbs out of the centre, leaving the
sides nnd bottom like a small box. Brush
this box on all sides with melted butter
and place in a quick oven. FJU with
broiled or creamed oysters. Cover with
each other and serve.

The "69-day" law, which prohibit th
keeping of normnl children In almshouses
for moro than two months, waa violated
In more than 300 Instances during tho
last year, according to tha Russell Sago
Foundation, of New York, which has Just
completed an Investigation of the child
wclfaro work In this State,
Tho report of the organization asserts
that In numerous Instances children were
forced to live In cloao' proximity to Idiots
and Insane persons, while In some aims
houses they were forced to associate with
persons having loathsome diseases,
vicious mornls and tho extremely aged.
An Instance of tho conditions found by
tho Investigators is Illustrated In the fol
lowing extract from the report In refer
ence to conditions nt tho county homo
at Woodvlllo, Allegheny County, where
the children had no separate quarters for
sleeping or playing!
"Tho sanitary conditions wero particu
larly objectionable? ono room In which
10 babies and little girls nnd four women
woro crowded day nnd night contained
a toilet built Into ono corner and sepn.
rated from tho room by n thin wooden
partition. Tho only provision for ventila
tion In this Hvlng-sleopltiB room, as In
tho other rooms whero tho children slept,
was by windows which wero rarely
opened; tho hcntlng was by gas, and the
air was foul.
"Llttlo boys over 2 years old slept In tho
open ward occupied by disabled men
cripples, paralytics and locomotor ataxia
cases. During the day these llttlo fellows
had no placo In which to play except the
sitting room, whero tho men smoked and
played cards. Tho visitor to this Insti
tution found 40 children between tho ages
of 4 nnd 1G standing about In listless
groups."
In conclusion, the reports urges the
adoption of a State program for child
welfare, nnd suggests that the various
chnrltablo institutions of the Stato meot
to outline a course for future nctlon. Tho
report nlso embodies a proposed "chil
dren's code," calling for radical changes
In tho legislation which now nllows in
sanitary nnd abhorrent conditions to pre
vail in tho almshouses of tho Stato.
