have promised reduced rates( one
third fare, round trip under the
numerous restrictions and hedging
usual among corporations. Up to

The National Woman Suffrage
Association are to entertain the
guests invited from abroad and
committees are making every pos
sible effort towards comfortable
and Inexpensive hotel rates and
private entertainment for visitors,
and the comprehensive pro-
gram is enough to set a
backwoods woman, like some
of us, wild to be- among
them.

little paper until lately but will
