rights made her way to the stand usually
occupied by the speakers and regardless
of the passing of time proceeded to ar
range the coy curls before her mirror be-
fore venturing to speak. Her appearance
created no end of amusement and the ad-
dress which she then deliveredl was ex-
cruciatingly funny.
In the course of her argument she said /:
Man claims to be superior to woman.
Why is this thus and what is this..olaim
Man was made first, which is true. but
the experience gained in making man
was not forgotten when woman was
made. Adam couldn't live alone so Eve
was created. 1t would have been money
in our pockets. sisters. If we hadn't been
created at all. Imagine Adam living
around before Eve was made. Who
sewed on his shirt buttons cooked his
steak and got him his slippers when he
came home at night. He must have
boarded round and ate hash before Eve
came Cruel, cruel man, hard hearted
and cold. They assert that Eve plucked
the apple from the tree and gave Adam
half the forbidden fruit. It's too true.
She did this but If Adam had plucked
the apple he would have gobbled the
whole of it at once and never thought OF
dividing 1t with Eve. Even this was a
means of doing good for 1t brought death

having to live an eternity with man

while man votes and stumps around

or what he Is stumping for. 1 want to

Mrs. Lucy H. Day of Portland was
next introduced. She made a very strong
argument for womans suffrage, showing
the progress woman Lad made in the last
fifty years and stating that this country
is now democracy for man hut des-
potism for woman. She argued that the
woman in business was unable to express
her wish at the polls and as long as bust
ness is SO dependent upon politics 1t Is
highly essential that the business woman
should have an opportunity Of protecting
her ow n interests.
This ended the presentation Of the Pc
titioners' side of the case and Miss Eliza
beth Varnum who represented the remon-
strants then made brief opening argu-
ment and called upon Mrs Head as the.
first speaker on this side of the question.
Mrs. Heald said that these strong minded

made encouraging progress in his suit
when Captain Lettarblair Litton of the
Royal Irish fusiliers. dashing, ro-

gerous rival. Lettarblair wins her
love, but is diffident in seeking her
hand on account of his present poverty;
he is the owner of an estate but de-
votes all his income to paying off an
obligation of his dead father. The
cider Litton was ruined by the villainy
of partner in business, and on his
deathbed adjured his son to save his
honor by paying the debts resulting
from fa failure. The amount Of this

have the courage to ask for her hand.
She instructs her agents to press her
