VOTES A CANADA
How Three Provinces Rapidly Got
the Suffrage.
POLITICS AND TEMPERANCE.
1016 Brings Success to Canadian Wom
an After Years of indifference—No
Speaking In the Streets Allowed, a
Forum Is Demanded.
Three Canadian provinces have this
year given complete provincial suf
frage and eligibility to women. "How
did the women of Canada get the vote
-» quickly ?" Is the question asked Miss
Inez Terry of Toronto. •'Suffrage was
as dead as the much famed doornail
all over Canada," said Miss Perry, j
Trying to urouse public opinion was
Just like tx>atlnfr one's head against a
stone wall. 1 suppose you don't know
in the I'nlfcd States about the queer
discrimination we Canadians make
against married women. Only widows
and spinsters enjoy school suffrage in
Quebec, and married women may not
rote on tax questions in Ontario. In
fact, the law rubs In Its lack of ronfl
visa isez rjuuix.
dence in married women In Ontirlo
more than elsewhere, for it permits the
husband of a woman who pays taxes
to vote In her place and because of her
tax qualification. In 1914 Toronto bad
a referendum on tbe Question of the
married women's right to rote, which
showed two to one lu favor, and. while
tbe laws of Ontario ure still stitHy op
:>osed to suffrage. the demand for it is
■rrowtng steadily. And the three pow
cfs that are shoving suffrage events
right along In Canada are the temper
inee cause, the war and the wonder
.'ul woman of Canada. Mrs. Nelly Mo
Clung."
Miss Perry Is a young. alert figure
full of life aud energy. She, like
nany other Ontario suffragists, follow
->d I jul}' F.a tori into temperance man
'festations. "Here also the war and
temperance work and the suffragists
worked together," explained Miss Per
ry. "for the war has pushed prohibi
tion on as fast as it has pushed suf

tui if the grouping of so many motives

such a wonderful woman as Mrs. Mc

A Family
Secret
It Came Out Gradually |!
and Satisfactorily
11 By ESTHER VANDEVEER j!
When I was old enough to desire a
child to play with me 1 said to my
mother:
"Mamma, why haven't y*i another
little girl for me to play with?"
She kissed me and told me that I had
a little brother whom I had never
seen, but he was coming home soon
and I would have a companion. I was
too young to seek for a reason why
this brother, whom she called' Georgle,
had never been at home since I had
been born. I simply accepted the fact
and rejoiced that I would hove a play
mate.
Georgle arrived a couple of days
later. He was several years older
than 1. I asked him where he had
been living all the while, and he said
that he supposed he had been with his
mother, but a few days before he
came to us she hud told him that she
was not his mother and then was sent
to na.
Whatever explanation of all these
matters was made to us was called
forth by our childish questions, and
they were answered vaguely. We
looked upon each other as brother and
sister. We lived In a place In the
country where we saw no other chll
dren and when w» began to be edu
cated were placed In charge of a young
woman who taught us the rudiments
and as we grew older had tutors.
When I was ten yearn old something
occurred that troubled me. A lady
visitor called on my mother. I was In
an adjoining room reading a story
book and as quiet as a mouse.
"Is Clara still Ignorant of the fact
that she Is not a Clayton?" asked the
visitor. My mother's name was Clay
ton.
"**— *---■»■ «« r»«*Hn<y tr» fin Q£T(»
when we shall and It hard to keep the
secret"
"How about George?"
"He being older than Clara, we may
expect still more difficulty In bis case.
"1 question It Boys are not so cu
rious about seeming trifles as girls. A
boy's mind reaches out to discover
what is going on without—bow things
are made and all that A girl is cu
rioua about those things which imme
diately concern her."
I was thunderstruck. I could scarce
plain what I had heard. But fcie pres
ence of the visitor restrained me. 1
would wait till she had gone. I stole
away and upstairs to my room, where
I shut myself In and gave myself up
to all kinds of (to me) terrible fore
bodlngs.
By this time George had grown old
enough to crave the society of boys
of his own age and was out plnyins
ball with some of his friends. There
fore I did not see him before I had
had a conference with mamma. This
was perhaps fortunate. As soon us
the visitor had gone I went to her and
almost with tears In my eyes asked her
what the lad.v had meant by saying
that 1 was not a Clayton.
Mother was evidently quite put out
at first, but presently she took me up
on to ber lap and said:
"I will explain this if you will prom
ise to ask me nothing more till yon
become eighteen years of age."
I gave a reluctant promise, and she
continued:
"Papa is not your real father. Your
real father died when you were a
baby, and I married papa when you
were too young to know anything
about It"
This was a great shock to me. Re
membering how It affected me, I have
ever sln<-e condemned the bringing up
of children in Ignorance of their true
parentage. After what my mother told
me I was curious to know about
George. Forgetting my promise to ask
no more questions, I begged mother to
tell me about him. She considered for
awhile, then said:
"George must soon know about his
case, but not now. I will tell you
about lilrn if you will promise to keep
what 1 say a secret from him for the
present."
I gave the promise, and she con
tinued:
"George Is not your brother."
This was not the shock to me that
the secret about my papa was. Possi
bly this was because of George's in
troduction Into the family at a time
when I was old enough to take cog
nizance of his coming. Mother con
tin ued:
"George's mother and I were very
dear friends. She died when he was
two years old. and George was given
In charge of a woman who took care
of him till he came here. 1, would have
taken him at the time of bis mother's
death, but it was then impossible
There had been an arrangement be
tween me and her to that effect, and
I carried it out as soon as I was able
to do so."
Mother paused here for awhile in or
der. I presume, to give me time to get
somewhat used to what she had toll
me. then concluded what she was sav
ing.
"And now. my dear little girl, I wish
you to be brave and strong and say
hothln'g to papa or George as to what
you have learned, but leave it to me
to make it all known whenever I
