woMAN's SUFFRAGE
 CONVENTION

The National Suffrage ssocation will hold it's annual convention in New Or leans this month, March 19 to March 25
 The convention is anticipated with much interest both by the members of the As sociation and the women of New Orleans. Arrangements are being perfected there now for the meeting. Miss Gordon, the National Secretary, is a New Orleans wo- man, and Miss Jean Gordon, President of the New Orleans New Era Club. who has charge of the work of placing the dele gates, is her sister.
 Mrs. Corinne Chapman Catt. the Presi- dent of the Association, is pleasantly re- membered in Montgomery, where she yis- ited little more than one wear ago.
 Tho officers of the Association will be entertained st the St. Charles Hotel, this being necessaED 1t is said, to facilitate the business work of the convention. The other delegates will probably be enter tained at private homes.
 Among the speakers will be Mrs. Catt, Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, Mrs Margaret Haley. who helped to secure $2.o00,oOO for public schools of Chicago, and Miss Susan B. Anthony. Whatever may be said of the creed of the woman suffrag gists, it is gen. erally conceded that among them are some of the brightest and brainiest of the wo- men of this age.
 Alabama will be represented at the com ing convention by the State President, Miss Frances Griffin of Montgomery.
 MISS ROOSEVELT LEAVES TODAY
 Miss Alice Roosevelt and her friend, Miss Root, will leave today for Wash tngton after two weeks of gayety in the South, which even for them was, perhaps, unprecedented.
 Despite the little ugly talk that started. about the possibility of coolness in New Orleans society toward Miss Roosevelt. on account of certain political actions on the part of President Roosevelt, the en- tertainments. large and small. in New Orleans have been such that 1t is a won der the young girls are alive to tell the tale. But society girls. as rule. have remarkable constitutions. and it is evil dent that Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root are no exceptions.
 AS for the ugly predictions of cross grained croakers, the reception that the young ladies have been accorded demon strates the fact that however great may be the resentment of the South as a class against a public official. when 1t comes to individual, especially when the individuals are women, there is absolute ly no danger of any treatment in South ern society other than that for which Southerners are famed. In consequence Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root probably journey toward home today with delight fuI recolections which will remain with them always as something unique and apart from all others.
 Of their stay after the carnival The New Orleans Picayune says:
 Mrs. Edmund McIlhenny. who, with her sons. Messrs. John and Paul Nell henny, and daughter, Miss Sadie Nell henny, have been occupying the Hayden residence. which they rented for the month of February. left on Thursday with their carnival guests for their home on Avery's Island. A special car was placed at the disposal of Mrs. McIlhenny for her guests. Miss Alice Roosevelt and Miss Edith Root. In addition to Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root, Mrs. McIlhen- nys guests, at her country home. will he Mrs Albert Shattuck and Miss Alice Schenck of New York, Miss Roosevelt and Miss Root will return on Monday to New Orleans. and leave the next day for that. hornau In Waabin0toy, n
