 Mrs. Potter and her mother are occupy ing 'Ye Olde Bridge House" at Staines, on the Thames, where she is engaged in transforming the workingmen's cottages into small homes for the higher classes. and is buying up property at Staines for that purpose. She has exhibited muci, skill in interior decorations and her quaint old English house at Staines is a work Of original art.

MRS. BROWN POTTER WILL
 JOIN THE SUFFRAGETTES

q intend to take up the cause of tho
 Suffragettes as soon as leave the stage We women are no longer puppets on the stage of life, placed here or there Tor show or effect by mere man. We are Hv- ing, we are free At last we are true citi-
 zenesses of the world, bound not by the [ feudaI ties of serfdom or fealty, but by the larger and ennobllng bonds of citizen ship and patriotism
 We have struggled and toiled till a
 length we have reached the glorious prize of liberty, which is now ours! If l were to proclaim my sympathy for woman $ rights in public l would be misjudged, as Mrs. Pat Campbell has been, by the peo- rle believing that l was doing so for an advertisement for the stage; but l shall leave the stage as soon as l shall have acquired a competence to live upon.
