Burdette on Womankind.
Why am I a woman suffragist?
Because I am.
Because a woman has more good, hard, common sense than a man.
Because she makes less bluster about her rights, and quietly maintains them better than a man.
Because she won't give $1.50 for an article that she knows very well she can get for 75 cents.
Because she does not stalk loftily away from the counter without her change if the robber behind it is a little reluctant about counting it out.
Because she is too independent to pay the landlord $2.25 for her dinner, and then pay the head-waiter $1 to send her a waiter who will bring it to her for 50 cents.
Because she will hold her money tightly in her own good little right hand for two hours until she first gets a receipt for it from the fellow who made her husband pay the same bill three times last year. Not any "just give you credit for it" for her.
