girls who are preparing for this mo.
mentous event are timely. White
flowers should be used exclusively,
giving lilies the preference, but car.
nations. roses. tulips. hyacinth and
narcissus are all effective.
a pretty conceit is 10 confine one
flower to a room. massing in bowls and
using flower holders wherever it is
possible.
A canopy under which the couple
will stand may be made of wire, wind,
ing with greenery, then studding with
white flowers. Form the isle of broad
white satin ribbon or tulle, and use
tall white candles in every available
place. Wind the stair banisters with
green. tying 4 large bunch of white
flowers to the newell post. from which
there should be a tall cathedral can

two little fiOwe: girls with baskets

Are there not in England among
the male population minds of far
lesser caliber than those of the women
who believe they should vote? There
is no doubt of it. Yet we. who have
a greater grasp Of the political side OF
life in his majesty's domain. are de-
MED the privilege. Is our condition
not like that which you Americans
fought back in 1876: taxation without
representation?
From reading the cable news from
America in the daily newspaper here
in London / learn that several states
of our former colonies have bestowed
upon their women the right to cast
ballots in rendering decisions as to
state and city officers. If the offspring
of England shall have so far prog
ressed as to recognize that the femi-
nine branch of the human race de-
serves SAY" in the affairs, of men,
is it not time for the mother country
to cast from her back the black cloak
of unequal suffrage?
There is a suffrage lesson in Amer
lea and we'll may England profit by it.
The thought that voting is unwom-
anly is as obsolete as the old stage
coach system, to my mind. and some
day the eyes Of our country will be
opened to that fact. We women have
simply formed ourselves into a band
of leaders and We hope soon to see our
way clear to the voting booth.
Our struggle commenced in humble
little mass meetings on the street.
The success of these resolved itself
into the desire to do greater things
