Dear M'Llss Cecil Montague Is all -wrong!
To confess to such beatings about by women Is
most humiliating-. I. as a man, cry outt
To bo candid. Cecil loa not understand the
ladies. It ho did. Inatead of bewailing an
unlovely fat ho would tell u; how to rnanaira
them. How eaay It la! M 'Llss. It to tho
simplest thins In the world, thla handling- of tho
ladlea.
. Let me explain at few rudimentarius: Never
bo. direct; Imply rather than assert, unless your
l-v:ner cravea frank treatment. In which case
U? violently frank. You will find those imwn
who have foregone prudlshneea In much the
una condition a modesty, after she has sue
ceaafully "skinned the, cat." Then there la
the principle of eauallty. Every Intelligent
man ahould not only avoid the Pcrlla , of In
tlmated Inferiority, but also tha Charybdto of
flatterr-a Odysseus underatood auch things, lie
never flattered the ladles!
Just between you and me. M'Llss. I fear
Cecil would like to be u "Hon" that, again, la
m fttiHA ,n. ThA Indies have no appetite for
each a, diet in these troubled time. Oh. nun,,

In truth, the management of women la the
wost almple thing In thla wide world. If Cecil
only realised huw eaay It to he would baak In
the sunlight of his own. broad mlle. Ife could
read the women's pace with a real relish.

"How lone ahould a maid allow a young man's
arm to rest behind her while driving out of an

Or, perchance, he would enjoy the plaintive
wall from the throat of 43 summon who ob

who habitually frighten oft young and prospec

"O. apple of my eye: like fruit ripe for the
sicking, thou, my love, foil Into my arms!"
M'Llss. do you really believe Cecil does not
enjoy theso things secretly! If ho were wlsj
he would boldly step to the newsstand and
very-eo often dive Into the ladles' Home .ournsl
or read of woman in the Woman's world. Cecil
wun'd do these things if he were a red-b,ooded

UNWISDOM
WOMAN'S PARTY
the last timd It was put up to tho
electorates of the big States of the East
Those who bleat about tho virtues of a
Federal amendment and the giving of tho
Voto to all of the women at one fell
swoop lose sight of the fact that, oven
were such an amendment passed upon
favorably by both houses, It must go
back to the State Legislatures and be af
firmatively voted on by three-quarters of
them before it becomes effective.
At a conference to be held 'at Colorado
Springs on August 10 the "medicine men"
of tho Woman's party will put thoir
heads together to decldo on tho best plans
for disposing of tho votes of the 4,000,000
enfranchised women off the West Plac
ing these votes on a silvor salver, as It
jvifre, they will bo prepared to offer them
,to the presidential candidate who makes
them tho rosiest promises.
Aside from the sublime faith In candi
date's promises, is it not a beautiful ex
hibition of trust in women this supposi
tion that 4,000,000 of thorn will voto as
one and at tho dictation of other women?
"Age cannot wither, ' nor custom stalo,
her Infinite variety," tho poet tells us.
Woman's ability to co-oporato remains yet
to bo provod. Suffrage leaders apparent
ly have lost sight of tho fact that tho
women of tho West have not takon their
Voting privileges very differently from tho
men. Thoy aro Democrats or Repub
licans chiefly. Tho probability is they
will voto as such.
By specious arguments tho Congression
al Union has won more recruits than It
deserves, but tho majority of suffragists
havo pinned their hopes to tho national
organization, of which Mrs. Carrlo Catt is
tho president and Dr. Shaw the honorary
president. It may do more harm than
good to tho cause to have the Woman's
party plcdgo votes that 11 has no asBUr
anco It can control.
Bosalsm to bo effective must bo suc
cessful. M'LISS.
mleerabile dlctu. M'Llss what a wrinkle ho
would be. Inside!
'n all my successful encounters with the ladles
there Is only one that stands out In ugly sil
houette. Even as I write, the matter Is In
urgent need of n satisfactory settlement. Kindly
outline the proper procedure that a youth should
pursue who determined to havo his two strapping
sisters press his trousers at periodic Intervals
throughout the year, Host affairs are easy
enough to handle Just a little tact, a fow quiet
suggestions and overtures of some unrealizable
co-operation I'restol Hesults! Hut with pants
pressing It Is different, Indeed. It is very awk
ward. Now that several months of hostilities
have worn by with tho trousers still limp and
uncreased over tho chair back, I am aerlously
constrained to link arms with Cecil call all
men "nuts." all women tyrants, woman's rights
contemptible, and generally "bosh" every living
creature from "the sparkling-eyed hell-fire Itiner
ants" to the vapid, cherry-lipped scions ot
puristic fashion.
So much for a pair of pantal Would that
they wero pressed. Oh. man. thou art Indeed
thick not to manage thy women better.
To return to Cecil, M'Llss. when you see him
next explain td htm for me that he really is
not a slave, but a king. It Is for him alone
to discreetly direct his subjects of the gentler
sex. Man never had a more willing servant
than woman even In the daya of uncontamlnated
Adam.
I speak from experience. M'Llss. If you do
not bellevo mo I shall gladly show you my
trousers.
PETER WEST.
Dear M'Llss My hair la very curly and It is
Impossible for. me to comb It any style that

El l'aso, famous "gas fighter," who saw
service In the British trenches. Ho Is happy
because he knows why "Dearest Haburn"
did not write.
In a few hours, "Dearest Unburn," who
lives In western Pennsylvania, will bo
happy, too, for she will know that "ned"
did write and she will know why she did
not get the letter until the Evhhino
LCDocn camo to tho rescue.
Back of all this llos n story of what
a newspaper can do of tho way It can
roach across a continent and bring people
Into communication, who think there Is no

And this Is the story: Bed Is a gono-to-the-border

Is the left-behlnd girl, who has been await.

In tho meantime James Thompson, of

fell Into the hands of Colonel Frank M.,

If you can find tho girl. Thero Is nothing
on tho letter to Indlcato who sho is. Sho
is likely waiting for a tetter. Seo what
your paper can do to bring happiness to
theso young people."
And tho Evenino Lnnocn did. The story
of the gono-astray letter was published on
July 12. By tho 18 th a copy of tho story had
boon handed to "Bed" by his captain, R.
W. Brown, and "Bed" wroto nt onco to the
