This 10 an interview with Mrs james scrlm-
Geour. ths President OF tho Women's Health
Protective Association OF Brooklyn. She Is a
delightful woman. and as entertaining and
absorbing conversationalist rs any man will
find in months travel. She said the Women's
Health Protective Association was something
like the Frances Cleveland Influence Club Of
New York They both had brains. only the
Frances Cleveland Club had no common
sense. That's the reason 1t went to pieces.
Tho W. II. 7. 4. will never GO to pieces. No.
1t has come to stay.
Mrs. Scrimgeour you pronounce the as II
81 were and leave out the o and the VI is work
ing hard to soct Mr.. Schieren Mayor OF Brook
Ign. Not that she cares anything for Mr..
Gchieren. Oh. no. But thcro is ring In
Brooklyn that has for years refused to intro
duce sanitary garbage reccptacles and crema-
tories and has entirely ignored the w. II. 7. A.
This ring must BIO destroyed. Yes. indeed.
Mr.. Schieren did not know Mrs Scrimgeour's
address. In fact. when asked for 1t. a look OF
pain came into his face. as II he did not care
to know II. But The SUH man found It. He
went there. and he rang the bell and n very
pretty lass in white dress and a white cap
upon her head came TO tho door and showed a
very enchanting set OF white teeth. and said
that Mrs. Sorimgeour was not at home be-
cause she was out. but that, X the gentleman
cared to como In and wait. sho would soon
como back.
In little while the bell rang again. Tho
lass In white went to the door, and then this
conversation took place:

"No. ma'am."

"Yes. maam."

"Yes. maam."
And tell her that I've distributed all the
circulars she gave me. and wish she would
send mo some moro pastors. And tell her that
my husbands partner has come over to our
side and 10 going to vote our way. Will 2"
YES. NAM"
And tell her that everything looks hopeful.
and that she mustn't fail to attend tho next
meeting and-and-and tell her that only
bought three yards. She will understand what
Imean. Will your"
Yes. ma'am."
Ten minutes later Mrs. scrimgeour mr.
rived. She is somewhat below tho medium
height and inclined to be stout. Her cheeks
are red and her eyes are blue. and her coun-
tenance 10 constantly beaminE good nature.
