hair, for it is about three shades winter
now than it was a year ago; She has
otherwise kept even with time for she Is
fatter and more hearty than she WAS dur
ing her last visit here and wears a corset
fully two sizes larger. An additional
wrinkle or two were noticed about her
eyes and her respiration shows the effect
OF the constant leak OF her lungs.
The quicker of her lips is more pro-
nounced than il ever was before, and as
she spoke about the cooking club In that
naughty manner of hers her mouth curled
mp as If she had just tasted of one of their
art pies Ordinarily Miss Shaw's mouth
looks like "A hole made with d butter tester,
but when she has some thing sarcastic TO
say il Fuckers up until 1t looks like a
wilted mushroom or the end OF a bag OF
fine cut tobacco. She was dressed in
black silk and wore a diamond that seemed
TO be half sister 10 that of RUFUS Cones
That diamond shone and sparklel as 10
hesyed on the swell OF Miss ShaH's emo
tional roundness. The dress was without
trimmings except piece OF narrow braid
that wound nicely around her plumpness,
forming itself into an electric magnet.
She wore long hair done up IN Knot on
the top of her head. This made her look
little ike the portrait OF Catherine
of Russia.
The other leaders on the stage were Mrs.
Tiffany, Miss Elizabeth Yates of Maine.
and Miss Helen Kimberly of Parsons.
Mrs. Tiffany introduced, Miss Yates
prayed and Miss Kimberly smiled. In
fact she was the committee on smiles and
no one dared TO smile until She gave them
the cue. Why such delightful smiles
haven't involved her in the misfortune of
marriage long ago Is lucomprehenslDle.
Miss Yates retained her seat on the plat
form duriag the entire evening and also
retained her bonnet and shawl, her
dignity and her spectaeies. Mrs Tiff
fany's face beamed with delight all
through the speech Or address and Was
the only woman in the house who didn' {
seem in the least jealous OF the beautiful
diamond that Miss Shaw wore. There
were about ten other women present and
some thirty-fivs or forty men. q. Miss
Blanche Isis Martin was again the usher
of the meeting.
Miss Shaw's address lacked logic
throughout, and coherency in many parts
of il. 1t was not up 10 the standard OF her
fame as an orator and contained nothing
but the silly old story of what women
could do if they had the ballot.
After an opening prayer from Miss
Yates, who spoke the night before, DIR.
Carrie Tiffany introduced the speaker,
Miss Anna Shaw. She started by telling
the audience that though the RAIN kept
many people away yet she was satisfied,
for she believed that rain would do Kansas
more good than woman's suffrage. Il
would have enjoyed better TO debate with
the distinguished gentleman who was TO
have been here than TO speak to You but
i'll health has kept him away. When L
first learned of this fact L WAS inclined to
think that it was merely a ruse of his TO
avoid an open debate but when l remem-
bered that you had II cooking club IN this
CITY was not surprised to learn that he
was suffering from severe attack OF
dyspepsia.
After this double thrust of the reverend
lady at her double antagonists she turned
in npon the Cooking club singly, and with
a sarcastic ring in her voice referred TO
what the EAGLE said about the Cooking
club roasting her goose. She remarked
something about the geese and members
of the club and that when ii band OF per-
sons went out of their way to insult re-
spectacle people they We're wanting OF
good breeding, good tact ana good sense
and that there was vacuum where the
grey matter of the brain ought TO be.
Having thus disposed of those whom she
considered opposed 10 her views she started
in on TRADE upon the general enemy
man. which caused considerable applause
and laughter as she praised the unbound
ed humanity Ol lONiu5
drew ous sarcastic and mock heroic WORDS
descriptive of the sterner sex.
In substance she said: The opposition
AT first claimed that suffrage WAS not Z
right but privilege. The women Ghef
asked TO be granted the same privilege "a,
men and then the argument Was produced
that voting WAS not a privilege DuJ uull
and now the women want to state that
thsv are willing TO take the duty uPof
- "A dnrV which
people should have alike.
