1.-THE scheme of the women suffragists
this year is now looked upon as a very
shrewd one" said woman who is against
suffrage, to the New York Sun For
many years little band of women in this
city who have persistently and faithfully
agitated the subject of the right of women
to vote, found their closest adherents
among the working women and those
whose higher education and liberal read
ing led them naturally to desire fuller and
freer powers Hence the band of women
sutfragists was well equipped with brains
and industry, and formed a picturesque
element of society. The papers did not
pay much attention to 1t, the meetings
were not crowded, and the world at large
did not shew an acute interest in their
doings.
But early last fall the old leaders Sc
lected list of the most influential and
fashionable women in New York and
went about the work of conversion with
firmness and industry. Nothing checked
them, nothing put them off. The only
qualification they looked for in a candi-
date at that time was social position.
For time their efforts were fruitless,
but finally one prominent woman of fash
jon after another became interested in
the movement, Sherry's fashionable quar-
tiers were secured, and the first half
dozen meetings were made so exclusive
that innumerable heart burnings and
jealousies arose. But the managers did
not lose sight of the fact that the women
who had fallen through inferior social
position to secure an entrance in their
counsels on one occasion would be all the
more anxious 10 come a second time.
:'The result of this artful and original
style of campaigning was that the woman
sufragists movement was made distinctly
fashionable in this city for the first time
in its history. Women follow the fash
ions without any discussion; hence the
enormous following OF the woman suf-
fragists at the present time"
