This is particularly true, says Tbe Telephone Review, N. Y., tn tbe case ^ tbe telephone. We bear a voice. 'Wa AOMwer It and the other person bears our voice. We do not see any¬ one. We speak tbrougb a mechauk^al contrivance and we find it so easy to forget some of tbe Uttle niceties of everyday manners. We forget that tbe fieraon with whom we are con- Ters^g telephonically cannot see us, and we often say things in aucb a way tbat we are misunderstood or we cjr- •elves are misjudged. We forget tbat It is not what is said but tbe way it Is said tbat very often counts most.
You have probably beard the story «f tbe farmer who bad a spendthrift ¦on nt college. The sou w'as out of funds and wrote the following letter to bis father: Dear Dad:
I «ni broke. If you do not send me money immediately I shall have to leave college.

The father, of course, read this in «n abrupt, hurried tone and felt that If tho son wanted money be should have l)een a little more polite In ask¬ ing for Itl The mother, who wns bU ting at the other side of the room, asked what the trouble was. "Thai good for nothing son of yours," s.iid the father, "has wrllten for some money. But no man cau get any money from me who sends me such i letter." "Let me see tbe lelter. 4ear." And then tho mother read tho letter aloud in a iilouding, plea.suiit voice. Before ^lie had finished It the fatter was entirely softened and said, "Why, sure. I'll send him the money If be asks for It bi that way." Using tbe same jihraseology and expresshi:: tbo same thought, but Interpreting the thought In two different ways, chaiig ed tho entire moaning of tliut letter.
In our face Jo face Intercourse with those nrouiid us we show our meaning not only in our voice, but also by mir facial expres.slon, by the smile on our lips and the glad look In our eyes.

SUFFiUSE LEIOER WRITES OPEI LETTER TO SEMTOR BROWN
WIDOW SAVES THE IIIEES
I
Taking Senator Elon R. Brown to task for his opposition to wo¬ man suffrage, Mrs. Norman de R. ' Whltehou.se. In an open letter to the senate leader, says:
"Dear Sir—Although your par¬ ty indorsed the principle of wo¬ man suffrage at its national convention and recommended a submission of woman suffrage to the voters of New York state at the next electl(m In November, at Its state convenllon, and al¬ though you yourself voted In favor of this resubmission amendment, nevertheless. In yonr speech to the senato ou Monday, March 12, you say:
I am opposes to woman sulTrage becau.se It conflicts with my Ideals of manhood and womanhood. The present Kuropean conflict lllus- trutes my point. Who fights? The men of France or the women of France? • • • Who for Belgium? • • • Women can neither defend themselves nor the stata
The issue is clear. You pub¬ licly declare In tbe halls of legis¬ lation at Albany that "women can neither defend themselves nor the state." Can It be that you are ignorant of what Is going on today In Europe?
In reply fiennit me to call your atfentinn to a different point of view thau yours held by two of the leading statesmeu of the British government. On Mnrch 28 the British government was squarely committed to woman suffrage. ^Ir. Lloyd (toorge said: When aftfir the war the nation comes to recast the whole Imlus¬ trial fabric to give women no voice therein would be an outrnt;e; it would be Ineciultable, unjuat and ungrateful.
In the house of commons Mr. Asipiith said:
My opposition to woman BufTrage ahvays was based solely on rmisiil- eralions of public expedienc.;. The women have nuw worked o'li tlu-ii own Riilviition. Tho war cuiild not be carrifil on without them.
Tlie situation here will be no | different. Your party has snid ¦ tliMt women should have the ] right to vote. The experience of Eii.ulnnd hns proved It. On what grtniiuls do you still believe llinr they should be denied that right' VIRA BOARMAN WIUTP:! lOfSE, (.Mrs. Norman DeU. Whiteliouse), Cliairman.

It was three yea fa ago that iire. Spicer started ber battle with city offl-1 dais over the maintenance of this ar- borian Inheritance. She was called up¬ on to enter another skirmish this week when sidewalk bids were opened. In which proflslon was to bave been made for the removal of the trees.
