This is what the suffragists will cele-
brate in Washington. There will be n
roll call of pioneers in addition, and 1t
may be the last time many Of the old
timers will get together.
The seven avenues of employment
open to women in 1870 were teaching,
sewing Keeping boarding house. fold
Ing and stitching in binderics, work in
the factory or the compostors' room
and domestic service, The FIRST woman's
medical college was opened the same
year In Boston, and n year later the
first woman doctor was graduated in
Geneva, N. Y.
In clarifying the rise of woman no
profession will be left untouched.
Assistant Attorney General Mrs. Has
kcil of Montana will represent law. The
domestic arts and sciences are to be
given an important place. for the mod
ern suffrngist considers the advances in
those lines of supreme Importance. Mrs,
Ewing has arranged to address the
convention on the great progress made
In cookery.
The sevcnty-eighth birthday of Susan
T. Anthony will be appropriately cele-

courtesles of excursion rates. and as

been postponed to next year many or

had sent women. English ministers at
once said they could not come into the
convention, but waited to take action
until the convention opened For day
the question was fought, and at last the
wcmen were refused admission. But
the men decided they owed them some
courtesy and told them they might sit
in a gallery behind u screen and listen
to their voices.
William Lloyd Garrison, arriving on
belated ship, heard the women had
been put out, refused to sit In the con-
vention and for IL days sat with the
women in protest behind the screen.
Among the famous women behind
that screen were Lady Byron. Lucretia
Mott and Mrs. Wendell Phillips. The
Indignation among them was great.
Mrs. Stanton and Lucretia Mott de-
cided that when they returned a move-
| ment for the emancipation OF woman
| from slavery should be started. The
argument used by those English minis
| ters was that the moment women sat
| down by men In such a body that in
| slant the morals OF all Chrlstendom
would be ruined.
Soon after the return to America
| Antoinette Brown, who had been or
dained a minister of the Congregational
church, was sent as delegate from her
church in New Jersey to n temperance
| convention of ministers and leaders.
| For two days and half her admission
was fought over. and when she was
finally allowed in to clinch it her sup>
| porters gave her ten minutes in which
| to address the meeting. AS she went to
the platform that body of good men
broke into Kisses and cat calls. For
ten minutes, her allotted time. she faced
storm of Kisses. For three long
hours, until 1t was time for the con-
vention to adjourn, she stood and tried
in vain to speak a word. The reverend
gentlemen continued their storm of
Kisses without cessation.
That was the last straw to the wom-
en-, and when Mrs. Stanton and Mrs.
Mott found themselves together in cen
trail New York they decided to start a
movement to secure freedom for wom-
en-. This conference of women that has
resulted in such wonderful strides was
organized by seven women and met at
the residence of n high seat Quaker at
Waterloo N, Y. Other women attended
and the newspapers characterized 1t as
"a crime against social order" The wo-
men formulated n declaration of indie
pendence. They demanded the right for
woman to earn her own living, the right
to own property, the right to education
the right to speak in meeting. the right
to sit in convention on equality with
men. and, finally, after n struggle, q
suffrage plank was inserted.
The demands of those seven women
have all been won after many battles
except that for suffrage, and even thai
has made great Roadway.

stood guard outside after an entrance
had been effected. one stood beside
Mrs. Richmond's bedside and the fourth
proceeded to rummage around for plum
der. Ruth was aroused by some slight
noise occasioned by the midnight prowl-
ers. She slept in the same room with her
mother. Jumping out of her bed, she
started for the door of the room The
burglar saw her movement and tried to
catch her. The quick witted little girl
picked up a box of insect powder that
lay on the window sill and threw the
contents into the mans face. The pow
der filled his eyes and blinded him.
Meanwhile the other fellow in the room
bolted, being accompanied In his flight
by the two outside. The prowler who
got his eyes filled with insect powder
was easily captured by neighbors, who
turned him over to the police.

The New Art Corset

Tho fiat tronted, bias cut corset is the
latest novelty in stays and, needless to
say, 1t emanates from Paris. 1t is shap-
ed with q number of cores forming
curved bias sides. This corset conforms
TO the figure. following closely the
curve of the waist ana allowing the
hips to swell out suddenly; hence Its
name. 1.-THE sudden hip corset" 1t also
leaves the bust uncompresscd, avoid
ing the pushed up effect so unnatural
and ugly where u woman possesses u
surplus OF flesh.
The new corset gives tho waist won-
derfuI tenderness and supplenass. the
widening of the hips accentuuting 1t to
a remarkable degree. The dressmakerS
have accepted this innovation and are
recommending 1t to their customers.
