- did, confessed Mrs. EdelStein uneaSiy.
II thought so,' complained the other 20, that's
the way you all do You fall right into the trap and
don't what becomes of the society and the poor
people. All that person has to do is to ask for
your vote and you promise at once. What does Mrs.
Barcus know about conducting the society, I'd like
to know? Because she talks to the poor people
little and collects money from the MEMBERS is that
any reason why she should be PRESIDENT"
- don't know what she does or what she doesn't
do, declared Mrs. Edelstein. "She is a nice woman
and she will get my vote"
How can you say so? don't want to be per-
sonal, but you know, Sarah, that fit to be
the president than she is. kno all the rules of
meetings, and am she can't keep order. Are
you going to vote for her and have me step down."
You will get plenty Of votes without mine" re-
marked Mrs Edelstein, taking up her knife and be-
ginning to cut her dough into thin, yellow strips
Mrs Sussman rose from her seat and came and
stood by her friend
II must tell you, Sarah, !" began she in her most
confidential tone, that if you vote for her she will
be elected. have all the members, and found
out that that designing has gotten enough
promises to elect her. if you desert me. 1t was only
by accident that discovered her treachery 1 hap
pened to call of the members and found
out what she had been doing. Do deserve such
treatment"
Mrs. Edelsten hestated before answering
i am sorry that things look so bad for you," she
"And you going to vote for her anyhow"
what else can do ?"
1T is just as / thought" broke out Mrs Ede
stein violently; mo for the society but
me. 1spend my days and nights keeping it in order
and the rest of the members don't care snap what
becomes of the whole thing And to think that YOU
Mrs. Edelstein, would deliberately break up the So
ciety that have worked so long to establish It's
enough to break ones heart"
The presidents feelings were evidently much hurt
- don't see how am breaking up the society any
more than any else.
Cant you see that with your vote Mrs. Barcus
will be eected?"
'WelI?"
And if she is elected I'll have to leave the society
know couldn't stand the kind of presiding that
