Marriage Ie the Sword That Would Always Hang Over the Head of the Woman Poli- tician — Like Youthful Graduates, They Can- not Realize That Every One Is Wrong More Times Than He Is Right. Gir Gilbert Parker, the man who wrote “The Seats of the Mighty,” "The Battle of the Strong” and "Pierre and His People,” has just plorer and statesman, Sir Gilbert has tong been an interosting figuré in the lish world of letters. As the godfather of the Canadian bebitant and the creator of Charley Btesle, “that sad, bad, giad, mad man,” he hardly needs an introduc tion to American readers. Yerhaps, though, as readers will, they havc wondered what he looks like. I flo nt know whether Sir Gilbert was born the land of Our Lady of the Pnowe or only adopted by her; but he lea’t a wit the tall, blonde, “typical” Britisher Hi are blue, but his hair and close-cropped Vandyke are not Vet gray enough to hide the fact that they were originally dense black. He Is bronzed instead of ruddy, and be uses a ourfous un-Engiish trick of festure. Ho has a way of pushing his emphatic phrases outward, with the belp of a lean brown fist, and now and then he leans over and writes the tell- Ing word on the table. “T’'vo come to ask you what you think the woman movement,” I announced, hen we were comfortably led in sitting room at the Hotel Nether- “Not just suffrage, but"— “Oh, I'm an anti-suffragist, rupted, with smiling deflance, “And why?” I asked. vanished and he spoke “If you really wish to sow, I can put my position on the mat- Jer of women’s voting in a nutshell, 1 think that they should be not only al- towed but encouraged to have a voice in 1 affairs jucation, soocinl reform, the domentic side of government, the laws which each town or each community makes unto itself, these are the things in which woren are oblefly interested.

Now, Isn't it?” But I was not being interviewed and t had another question, “If you do not wish to eee woman in the political field do you approve of her entering tho arts, the professions or business?” Slr Gilbert leaned back in his chair.
