MARIE CORELLI
HAS FAITH IN
UN'S FUTURE
(By Associated Press)
LONDON, Jan. 30 (by mall).—Now
that the women of England virtually
are assured of the vote, a discussion
has arisen as to what they will do
with it after the war.
Approval by parliament of the new
franchise bill, which before the war
undoubtedly would have been the sig
nal for a great feminine demonstra
tion, elicited far less excitement than
the average street queue which forms
nowadays in front of a corner grocery
shop.
While the mere mention of the in
troduction of such a measure formerly
would have been flashed across the
front pages of all the great English
newspapers, its enactment into law
now demands only passing notice, and
its relative importance to the other
news of the day is so slight that the
average reader might easily overlook
it altogether.
“What does it all mean?” the hard
headed, once uncompromising English
man is asking.
“It means,” says Miss Marie Corq||i.
the novelist, “that woman’s work after
the war will be very much on the
(straight and simple lines of natU^M
love, sweetness and home! TharF^P
I woman's work, which she is just now
I compelled to neglect—but only to
j cling to it more when the madness of
i the nations is past.”
Americans who before the war were
wont to seek out the places ol' his
toric interest in Shakespeare's town
never failed to pause when they came
upon the beautiful vine-covered house
which Miss Corelli has occupied for
some years.
Miss Corelli declares she has no fear
for her sex.
"The wheel goes round always, you
know% and in time stops at the same
old place," asserts the novelist, with
emphatic assurance. “Grace, coquetry',
pretty' apparel, and all the dainty',
sweet things of womanliness will come
back again—again another Dante will
muse on another Beatrice, another
Petrarch on another Laura! Again rev
erence for women and chivalry will
adorn the strength of manhood—and
slang and roughness be things of the
past. 1 love my sex, and would have
them all ‘creatures of beauty and joys
forever-”
“But what of the vote?”
“1 have seen a great deal of wom
en’s work in this war,” says Mis Co
relli, “and 1 am sure their metier is
affection, devotion, tenderness, and
that they hardly need the polling booth
to assert their claim to consideration
But the vote will give them a rightly
won position in the affairs of the na- *
tion Good and brave men will al
ways pay them honor; they can do
without the admixture of politics in
their lives; still they may as well
have it.
“I hope and believe Ihe place woman
will occupy after the war will be the
old sweet place nature intended her
for-^in the home nest, with love to
guard and sanctify her existence. She
will soon be tired of prancing around
in trousers and working on the land
Women are privileged to change their
minds, and about a year ago I changed
mine from strong anti-suffrage to the
other thing. In educational matters
women’s votes and their influence are
imperatively necessary.”
AElLiSEiCE
IS TO BE INSTITUTED
(By Associated Press)
STOCKHOLM, Feb. 26.—'The Swed
ish government Is considering propos
als for the establishment of an air- *
plane postal service between Noortelje *
sind Abo, beginning during the next
few days or early in March. The con
sent of the Finnish government has
been assured.
The new service would reduce the
time of postal transit between Stock
holm and Abo from four days to six
hours, and the time between Stock
holm and Petrograd from five days to
twenty-five hours.
