The smallpox scare seems to
stirred up quite a bit of excite-
ment. There seems to be just
cause, from the fact that cases
which were pronounced smallpox
were not put under quarantine
as soon as the disekse was dis-
covered. If we read the quar-
antine law right, the penalty is
somewhat severe for those who
are in a position to and do not
comply by it. On the other hand,
if it is not smallpox the report of
it being such should not be put
out. In the eyes of the state,
county or township health officers,
there is no discrimination as to
who shall be quarantined.

man's idea of a woman. Because
as Lincoln, or somebqdy said,
“While she can please some of
the men most of the time, and
most of the men some of the time,
no mortal woman ever could
please all of the men at any time!"
If she wears long, frilly skirts
she is foolish and "unsanitary,"
and not fit to vote, and if she
wears high water skirts, she is
trying to "lure" men to destruc-
tion. If she is limple and domes-
tic, feminine and ignorant, and
nobody happens to marry her,
she is a failure and an “incompe-
tent" who ought to have been
taught how to earu a Iiyijng. But
if she is so busy earniug her own
living, and basen’t time to marry,
then she is “taking the bread out
of the men's mouths,” apd has
missed "womans highest voca-
tion,*' and "her place is in the
home!" If she cultivates the olo-
gies and goes i» for clubs and
reform and suffrage, it is because
she is "sentimentally unemploy-
ed" and can’t attract a man, and
if she concentrates on "dermatol-
ogy" and does attract a man, then
she is “siren” and a “vampire,"
and a bundle of vanity. 'If she
frankly yearns to marry and suc-
ceeds, everybody pities the “poor
chap” whom she “ensnared.” Bat
if she wants to marry and fails,
everybody calls her a “disap-
pointed old maid!" and the only
jokes more bitter and scalding
than those about a woman’s at-
tempt to “catch a husband." are
those written about her failure
ries and “lets George pay her
bills" she is a “paraite." If she
loses her waist line and her
beautv bringing up a large family
of children, everybody but Mr.
Roosevelt pities her husband
and wonders wbat he ever saw
in her. But if she hasen’t any
children and keeps right on bant-
ing and going to beauty doctors,
and wearing pretty clothes, and
learning the new dance steps, she
is a frivolous, extravagant “en
cumbrance." If she smiles pleas
antly at a man she is "angling"
for him, and if she never smiles
at a man she is a priggish old
prude. If she wears the latest
things from Paris she "ought to
be giving her money to the war
fund," and if she trims her own
hats and wears her gowns two
seasons she is a “dowd" and a
"frump."
Permit me to assert that soch
gossip is not only applied to the
feminine tvpe but to “my" type
also. We would all receive such
great pleasure if the word “gossip"
was cancelled and the word
"praise" placed instead; and as
things stand at present perhaps
that is why every mother sighs a
little when her husband kisses
her and tells her “its a girl."
