MAN'S OBLIGATIONS.
Mrs. Arthur Dodge, at a dinner in Washington, smiled at the uproar recently created by her attack on the suffragettes.
"Why should woman clamor for the vote?" said Mrs. Dodge. "Hasn't woman, modern woman, got enough influence over that voting animal, man, without needing the vote in her turn?
"You know what they say about woman and love?
"Every woman with one sweetheart, they say, has several—the man as he is, as she thinks he is and as he virtuously hopes to become. But along with this trio of sweethearts the modern woman, the twentieth century woman, has a fourth—the man he will have to be."
