Like Mother Used

By William J. hampton

Like mother used to make "-ah. me
What memories are mine
OF the old days and the plain ways
Revived by that brief line!
In these degenerate times wear
The trousers of the dav,
With creases down the front of them
And colors grave or gay;
They're built upon the latest lines.
And cost pretty stake
And yet. ah me, those pants are not
Like mother used to make.
Ny coats are done by tailor men
OF such artistic taste
That if the slightest wrinkle showed
They'd think themselves disgraced;
They turn me out in fashions form.
In which there's no mistake
And yet their coats are not at all
Like mother used to make
Ny shirts are cut by skilful hands
From linen OF the best,
And fitted to me perfectly
BY every filters test;
And exc my socks in every hue
The rainbow dares to take
And yet those shirts or socks are not
Like mother used to make.
My hair is cut by tonsors trained
To WELD the shears with skill
That gives to every customer
\ high esthetic thrill;
4 hirsute harmony is mine.
In which no discords break
And yet the tonsors cut is not

Ting on for the cause which they have
made their life work and neither dis
heartened nor discouraged by the op-
position or defeat, the members of the
National Anne lean Woman Suffrage
association assembled in Washington
today and began their thirty-sixth an
nual convention. Enthusiastic and ag-
gressive as ever. daspre her four
score years, Susan b. Anthony leads
the host, ably assisted by Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait of New York, the Rev.
Anna III. Shaw, of Philadelphia, Har-
riet Taylor Upton, of Ohio. Kate M.

have attained national prominence as
leaders of the equal rights movement
During the last year equal suffrage

in fact, the movement cannot be said
to have made any material prog. ess
anywhere in the country. The fight
has been waged steadily, however. and
tie national association has returned
to the charge unbaffled by the reve. ses
with which it has met. Year after
year the leaders of the movement have
appeared before congress and appeal
ed for the enactment of a law which
would give women equal suffrage
rights with men. There will be a
similar hearing by congress next
Tuesday, but with no prospects of bet
ter results than in the past.
During the present convention,
which will be in session a week, an af-
ternoon and evening will be devoted
to Colorado speakers. Women suf-
frage has been tiled for ten years in
Colorado ard some of the foremost
women of the state have come to the
convention to tell how it has worked.
The convention was formally Jpen-
cd today in National Rifles Armory
hall. with Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait
pI Iesiding. ADDRESSES of welcome and
responses, reports of officers and ap-
po.ntments of the usual committees
occupied the initial session. During
the remainder of the sessions there
will be general discussions on various
features of the suffrage movement
and addresses by prominent suff age
leaders, philanthropists, sociologsts
and others.
Between sessions the many dele
gates will be treated 20 an elaborate

other features there Will be a recsp-

VALENTINE BALL A.
SUCCESS
High School Students Enter

One didn't need q calendar to re-

ance of the hall itself was convincing
Hearts were the prominent feature of
the decorations-four thousand Of

punches, plastered ell over the walls.
hanging from the electric lights and
sketched upon the floor, arranged in
some places in studied disorder, and
gathered into letters forming notices
in others. The guests of the High
school students certainly met with
hearty reception.
A huge design sketched In powdered
soapstone upon the polished floor. con-
sisted of a heart drawn arouSSa the
very pleasing invitation. BE my val
entine." Along one wall. and running
ts full length was the motto formed
Of hearts cut from coiored cardboard.
"Arn't u glad u came to our party?"
and on the opposite wall the business
ike hint, Have U tried our salads?"
Apparently all were glad they came.
snd most everybody tried the salads
and incidentally the many other dain-
ties served upon the stage.
Each guest upon entering the ball
room was presented with a pretty
and appropriate souvenir favor. These
were nearly ali nlied with names and
notes that will serve to tell the story
Of happy evening many years from
now.
The party was 80 informal and en-
tered into with such zest that the
aoor manager and the floor commit
tee found 1t unnecessary to perform
the duties that usually devolve upon
these parties. and like their guests de-
voted every precious minute to chas-
ing the glowing hours with flying feet.
The dancing continued until q late
hour and the last number was de-
clared more enjoyable than the first.
The High school students request
the Silver State to say that they APP
preciate and are grateful for the pat
ronage extended by their friends, and
in no less a degree are they grateful
for the encouragement and assistance
of the ladies' who contributed to the
success of the refreshment tables.
