ONE YEAR AND ALL WOULD BE WELL, SHE THOUGHT, Through the long wjnter Mrs. Reilly nursed the twins, and through the more dreadful summer, That was the hardest part—the dog days, which were baby days as well.

They Got Rather Cool Re- ception on Their Debut To-Day, but Maybe It Was Because the Dear Men Were Just Too Polite to Applaud. Marguerite Mcoers Marshall. For the first time the Am.rican women have taken the stump for a Political party in New York City. Saturday, Founders’ Day for the Prog- ressives, saw scores of women all over New York, in the public parks and on the street corners, appealing to the, voters with loud voices and emphatic | gestures. The women were young and not so young, of all classes and com- plexions. Most of them wore the con- ventional taflored suit and linen shirt- waist. And they had caught all the conventions of the stump, the raucous tones, the right arm sawing through the alr and the rest, Founders’ Day founded something else besides the Progressive party; it established once and for all the tradi- tion of the’ American woman on the stump. | It was the note of acceptance. acqut- escence, that to me seemed to sound most strongly in the different audiences, The men who Mstened were obviously much less interested in the argumenta, of the women than in the women theme | selves, And yet even this interest was’ Passive rather than aggresaive—tke the| glance of mild, mute wonderment a dutiful husband turns on the living- room which his wife has done over in his absence, a glance compounded in equal parts of ‘Can such things be?’ and “Whatever my wife does is right!” NOTHING WILL KEEP WOMEN OUT OF POLITICS. Whether we like it or not the expert- ment of women in politics 1s bound to be tried out in this country. It's as sure as the movement of the tides, and | triumphant “seventh waves" are coming a@t exceedingly brief intervals, ‘The adoption of woman suffrage in Callfor- nia was one suoh wave. Another broke jall over Now York on Saturday. Col, Roosevelt may or inay not be sincere in his verbal declarations favoring the vote for women. But by penmitting them to become such conspioious fac- tors in his party management he has certainly strengthened the hold of their cause on the popular imagination, And yet the women speakers played fair, Only one out of the half dozen I heard made only direct reference to suffrage, y had evidently given an earnest {f parrot-ike study to the third-term platform and the arguments |by which its somewhat flexible prin- jelples might be bolstered into the ap- |pearance of rock-ribbed fact. What a Psuperlaitvely Joyous document that plat- |form is! It makes me think of the old |rhyme: ) “For every evil under the sun | There's a remedy or there's none."

And she didn’t even realize that she had been deprived of the most spontaneous and genuine tribute to a Political speaker's power, the irrepres. sible salvo of applause that waives dig- nity and decorum in its eagerness to express approval. What was the trouble? One difficulty was assuredly vocal. The voice of the average woman 1s not dapted to outdoor oratory. Con- sclously or unconsciously, e Strains it when she attempts this ‘sort of speak- ing.
