Portuguese authorities induced him
TO leave British territory in the
interior and to come to Angola

son has been taken away from

The congressman also condemned

States and against the action of the
state legislature in amending the ini-

by just wearing the right shade OF
white around her throat. AS may be
seen in the Illustration Of neckwear,
high collars are fashionable. The turn
down linen collar, whether made OF
the stifly starched linen or the sheer
batiste with dainty embroidery, is ex.
tremely fashionable, but there are
many women who dislike even the soft
linen around the throat and who prefer
instead the transparent lace collar and
yoke or chemisette. This lace collar
must, however, fit perfectly and must
be carefully boned, so that 1t is high In
the back, and yet it must not be too
tight. A narrow edge of colored velvet
or black is used by some dressmakers
as finish TO the collar, but 1t is more
or less Of an experiment, not always
becoming, and, after all, the becoming
is what every woman desires.

Speech Delivered at Banquet Given by
the Susan B. Anthony Club at cincin-
natl on the Paine Anniversary.
(By DR.. ]. B. Wilson,


The above Toast was responded to by
DR.. J. B. Wilson, at the Annual Banquet
given by The Susan B. Anthony Club" at
the new Hotel Havlin, Cincinnati, February
20, 1908.
This Annual Banquet is one of the big
events in Cincinnati. The large and mag
nificient banquet hall was crowded with
representative women of not only the suf-
fragist party, but of "The Twentieth Cent
ury Club" "The Women's Press Club"
wv. G.. T. IT," and other societies. Be-
sides there were present a goody number
of gentlemen sympathizers, represent
ing the different professions, DR.. Sarah
Siewers presided, and twenty toasts were
responded to. In such an assembly, the
remarks of DR.. Wilson could not otherwise
but prove a novelty, and something out of
the ordinary, but nevertheless, none were
more warmly received. DR.. Wilson spoke
as follows:-
Madam POSTMASTER and Ladies and
Gentlemen:
Every nation ensbrines as sacred the
records of its earliest existence Every
individual marks the date of his birth as
the one great important event of his life.
Every organization cherishes the memory
of it's founders. Every great cause hallows
the name of him who first gave voice to it's
principles as sacred his words,
and embalms them in the amber of loves
eternal remembrance.
No addition to its archives, am sure,
can be of greater interest to workers in the
cause, than that of information, as to who
made the first public plea. in this country,
for Woman Suffrage, and what that plea
was.
l am proud to say that the first person,
publicly to speak in behalf of sex equality
was a man. / am sorry to be compelled
to say that through, ignorance, prejudice
and wilful Misrepresentation, no man in the
history of America, has been treated so I'M
justly and ungratefully, so villified by men,
and hated by women, as this very friend of
women, and universal benefactor of the
human race.
But, that is the penalty, which, in nearly
every instance, the reformer and pioneer of
progress must pay.
In fifty; or hundred years from now,
when woman kind shall have become free,
