gentle and womanly without being
frivolous. She is the beau ideal
of woman with brain. She
is of good height. neither tall mol
short, and of strong, but not flabby,
build. She wore a blue tricot skirt,
braided in black up the sides. The
draepry was not conspicuous for hustle,
nor for the ugly flatuess which follows
the absence of one. A fine white muslin
house Sacque looked comfortable and
becoming. A certain trimnesS about

lace scarf about her throat, and from
the coils of gray hair glistened dia-

A few pinks and sprigs of mignOnette

"Certainly, women have no VOTE" she

do YOU mind telling me something
of your home life? It's a question /

it's always the most interesting thing
about prominent people,"
Certainly not" she replied without
hesitation, "but it is a little like a
writer once calling to get something
from my mother to write about me

but mother said never did anything.
Rather rough on me, wasn't it? / live in

''Do you feel encouraged in your

"YeS, we are making great progress.
It is only by practical work that we can
show what we can do. People are less
welded to party, and do some thinking.
