But M. Hopper-W4lker thought that
tie others needed further proof iof she
continued 10 present them with stasilstl-
cal evidence for half an hour loager II
least. Ia the mean time Archie found
the president " the club, Mrs Nerrie
Nav, who gave him a prosra inme OF the
evenings exercises aITd a printed synop-
sis OF the different SPEECHES While
Archie was attending 70 his duties, Rush
was looking about tie room ~ the strange
people ranged along the wall. A gentle
man with a very high forehead and a
blonde beard that grew n irregular spots
about his face wherever 1t could pierce
the surface tapped him upon the shoulder
after d while, and said:
Il saw YOU al the office Of The Dawn
the other day, 30 | presume you are a
reporter and would like some points for
an article for your paper-the names Of
the distinguished people here this even
ing. etc" And, before Rush could say
that he was not there as Il representa-
tive of his paper, the man ran his fin
gers through his struggling locks and.
drawing himself up 10 his full 3 feet ~
inches, said, 1.-THE lady reading the ad-
dress is Mrs. Lavinia Hopper Walker, p"
adding. in a most impressive whisper,
"my wife. / am Tobias I. Hopper
Walker. T. stands for Tartar. Ny
mother was Tartar"
Rush thought that his wife was Tar
tar also, but he didn't say SO.
Mrs Lavinia HopperWa Walker is a
most remarkable woman, sir. She can
take the floor against any man. and shut
him up before he knows where he is"
Rush looked at Mrs. Hopper Walker,
who ut this moment was making one Of
her most cutting remarks at the expense
of man. Her eyes were fixed upon her
husband, and the expression OF superior
ity that passed over her face was Il study
for a tragedian. The expression on his
face would letter have served the come
dian, it was so self deprecatory and
showed such satisfaction In being the
weaker vessel.
This is most representative gather
ing" he whispered. There is Mrs. Ann
Amelia de Johnstone, president of the
Women Who Dare society 1t meets
every week at her house in Williams
burg, where it enjoys a most intellectual
evening"
Rush looked in the direction indicated
by Nj. HopperWalker's long torefnger
and saw woman with high forehead
decorated with thin, tight curls. Her
eyes were large, and their prominence
was exaggerated by the powerful glasses
she wore on her very retrousse nose. In
deed, her nose turned up with SO much
determination that it carried her upper
lip with it, exposing her two large front
teeth to the public gaze.
