Suffrage won; they melt away,
Like the snows of yester-year.
Thoughts at an Anti Meeting
There are no homes in suffrage states,
There are no children, glad and good,
There, men no longer seek for mates,
And women lose their womanhood.
This I believe without debate,
And yet I ask--and ask in vain--
Why no one in a suffrage state
Has moved to change things back again?
A MASQUE OF TEACHERS
AND
THE UNCONSCIOUS SUFFRAGISTS
The Ideal Candidates
(A by-law of the New York Board of Education says: "No married woman
shall be appointed to any teaching or supervising position in the New
York public schools unless her husband is mentally or physically
incapacitated to earn a living or has deserted her for a period of not
less than one year.")
CHARACTERS
_Board of Education_.
_Three Would-Be Teachers_.
_Chorus by Board_:
Now please don't waste
Your time and ours
By pleas all based
On mental powers.
She seems to us
The proper stuff
Who has a hus-
Band bad enough.
All other pleas appear to us
Excessively superfluous.
