Glheaterfielh tlersue Tlnxmghrnuk OllVlEN,', said Lord Chesterfield, Hare only children of a larger growthf, fit? I . . . . 5 The way of children, as we know them, is to fix their attention upon some- thing seerningly quite unattainable-perhaps in a shop window or on a e 5:3115 ' pantry shelf-and in every conceivable style that their mischievous, per- sistent little minds suggest, try and try again to attain it. ln the end, they usually do. But then half the pleasure lies in the anticipation and the planning of schemes. With real possession the alluring object loses so much of its fascination that the tiny SQEMQW figures which itehed so before to caress it, toss it aside after a brief moment's playtime. If this is the way of women, too, then the Earl of Chesterfield is right. We have wanted something very much for what seemed an endless time, and the year 1920 brought with it the realization of this great desire. The same celebrated year ushered in the DONNYBROOK FAIR of l922, so it is only proper that the achievement of all women be humbly commemorated in this lesser endeavor of a few. After all, we are merely projecting our most precious heritage in the unique relic of our class. Women at last have obtained as patent to their social, intellectual and moral freedom tangible self-determination in the ballot. Will our pleasure and pride in this attainment exceed our erstwhile anticipation? Man has ceded to the nation his renowned monopoly of the knowledge and practices of state-craft. We cannot find it in our hearts to doubt that woman is half the strength of the nation, not alone in numbers, but as a vital, moulding force, and that our land will be the better that she is free to administer in government, as in private life, the prob- lems of which she is the natural arbitrator. We realize that the Seniors of 1921 will be among the pioneers in this great undertaking. We bid them God-speed, great service, and high renown. And we look to them to prove that, though in courtesy Lord Chester- field is law-in feminine evaluation he is not to be identified among the prophets. ,EC- fur! Thirty
