Lady Somerset thinks it is quite funny to see me on
a wheel but have stuck to 1t religlousy all sum-

When asked about her plans for the coming year
Miss Willard said:

We will be able to do that remains to be seen. We
think that a great deal Of good could be accom-

be for us to do elsewhere.

hands as yet. 1t has been presented at Wash

PLEASED WITH THE PLANK.
Miss Willard was pleased with the action OF the
Republican State Convention in adopting the ex-
else plank. She said in speaking OF this:
at good news to me- and clapped my hands
when heard 1t. The only thing that surprised me
was that ex-senator Plat allowed Il to 30

terest in the work that IL on hand 10 assist the
unfortunates. Lady Somerset had taken the mat

before her in this country that she cannot spare
the time to cooperate with Lady Somerset IN THIS
matter, but she expects 70 do something Tor the
cause In this country.
