WOMAN was put out of a prom- inent hotel the other day because, she went into the parlor and in- vited the other women there to join her in a bottle of champagne. | Not only did the hotel management prompily exclude her, but she was taken to Bellevue Hospital for an inquiry into her mental condition. | Her act is explained by her friends} on the theory that she is suffering | from “acute recurrent mania” and) that once every so often she has an impulse to treat everybody. In these days of women's rights why should not a woman be permitted to treat? Treating is a bad habit, but if women are to be placed on an equality with men, on what logical theory can they be excluded from acquiring the same habits men have? Every evening in the dining- Tooms of the best New York hotels women can be seen drinking cock- tails, wines, liqueurs and some- times high balls. At the Fifth ave- nue tea rooms, palm rooms and luncheon places the liquor trade brings in more profit than the Raines law hotels derive from their back rooms, where the women who drink are at least secluded from the public eye. The suffragettes, whose meet ings have ranged the length of New York, from Wall street to Harlem, have asked police protection against | jeering remarks and more tangible interruptions. They should be al-| lowed to go their own way. Free speech is a right no woman can be denied. The weak point in the arguments for woman's suffrage is their ia- completeness. If women want to adopt men’s code, whether in politics or morals, there is no way that ordinary man can devise to restrain them. Wom- en will vote whenever the majority of women want to vote. What pre- vents their voting is not men but themselves. But while women are working for women’s equality they should not single out voting alone, which comes} only one day of the vear, and the way the suffrage is exe in New York will not about! equality. They should ins: being policemen and jurors. average voter. If many women want to treat there would soon be bars open for thei: accommodation.

The reason the uptown hotel ejected the woman who wanted to treat the other women was not that the male guests in the hotel minded it, Many of them would have been glad to accept the invitation. It was the other women and not the men who prevented that hotel from running a feminine wine room. What women are, what they will do, and whether or not they will make their code of morality and behavior the same as men’s, is some: thing which women alone will decide. \ maybe not foolish, | have seen love mal money and after “The New Sentiment.” By Maurice Ketten. aily Magazine, Tuesday, May 5. 1908.

DODODHOOQOIAO Do Women Prefer Scoundrels? N England a very interesting discussion Is now eing I waged as to whether or not women really prefer scoun- drels. Apparently the consensus of masculine opinion 4s that even the best of women 1s likely to be irresistably attracted by the worst of men. The masculine majority 4s, nevertheless. wrong, though why man should believe that we as a sex prefer his un- regenerate brother may be easily explained, To a certain man the mere fact that a certain other man is preferred by @ certain lady makes the second man a scoundrel. Vanity forbids tne defeated suitor to admit that the best man won, The same spirit that led Hackenschmidt to protest the victory of Gotch, that leads a vanquished base- ball or football team to accuse its victorious rival of rough plays, prompts the man who has (been beaten at the game of love to cry “foul.” His favorite method of doing this ts by saying, and. more- lover, believing, that the winner is not quite all that an honest map standing | four-square to all nis kind should be. | As a matter of fact, women do regan the male rogue with a greater degree npathy than he can ever expect from other men. But this ls a simple matter of sex, not one of righteousness. | Men murderers recelve bouquets from strange women. But likewise female murderers receive proposals of marriage from unknown men. Women Ike cer- tain men,for the same reason that men like certain women—not because they are either good or bad, but because they are charming. Every woman admires courage, and as certain forms of scoundrelism present at least the outward aspects of valor, a highway robber may actually find @ | wife more than a Sunday school superintendent. So, too, a chorus girl locked |up in the Tombs for attempting to Kili her lover will undoubtedly receive more | offers of marriage than a Methodist deaconess whose whole life has been dedl- | cated to good works. | But these preferences merely evidence universal admiration for the unusual. Saints are just as popular among women as sin but they are so consider ably scarcer that even she whose soul pines for a St. Aloysius y have to be satisfled with a plain ordinary citizen, who may even turn out a bank de- faulter.
