That cat raising. though attended by
great risks, is a profitable business for
women the exhibits at the cat shows held
in the Madison Square Garden would in
dicate. The large prices which particular
beauties bring seem TO make up for the
care and trouble involved in their raising
Most OF the ancestors of these cats were
imported from England. where the breed
ing of rare specimens has long been in
large expense but it is a pretty sure in
vestment. IL means the construction of a
separate little bungalow house for each
cat, connected with a separate yard by
a private entrance, as well as a complete
system of heating and ventilation. But one
enterprsing young New Jersey woman
whose family budget showed a grave def
practice. But the American industry is be-
coming formidable rival in the field. Pro-
verbally women have always manifested
the strongest liking for cats, and this is
probably accountable for the fact that i'm
this country most OF the successful dealers
are women.

Besides the expense of equippng cat

bugbears of the dealers.

so, she is often in need Of professional ad-

SUFFRAGE DISCORDS
Mrs. BelmOnt's Ascendancy a
Bone of COnten "a.

Unless all signs fail. there ;.re going to
be serious ructions OF some sort In the
woman suffrage camp. The approach or
the season OF peace and good will finds
anything but peace and good will in the
ranks OF the women who want TO
vote" So many are their woes that II
would take too much time TO enumerate
them. but everything goes back to the ma
tional convention in Seattle last summer.
when the national association voted to
move it's headquarters from the peaceful
little town OF Warren. in Illinois. to New
York. AS soon as this decision was reached
the bird of peace spread its wings and
took its departure to parts unknown. The
Western sisters murmured. The metropolis
would swallow up the headquarters, they
thought. and they would be left out In the
cold. The New York suffragists also had
their misgivings. The headquarters. they
prophesied. would swallow New York.
From the point OF view of the two
classes Of malcontents both these pre-
dictions have now happened Complaints
that the national office is absorbed with
local affairs and oblivious TO constitutional
amendments and other issues pending in
the West reach the East daily. and the
local organizations on their part complain
OF encroachments on their preserves by the
national office. while the state Office is de-
clsred 10 he an equal sinner.
There are upward Of a score Of counties
in New York State that haven't even an
organization a local suffragist remarked
tartly. land yet the state officers spend the
greater part Of their time I'm New York"
The association Of Mrs. o. H. j. Belmont
with these two organizations makes the
situation acute. When the two bodies ac-
ceeed TO her proposition to make their re-
moVsl to New York financially possible. her
cs spacity for leadership was not reckoned
with. Now, as her figure has loomed larger
and larger in the public eye. the query of
Cassius. Upon what meat doth this our
Cesar feed that lie is grown so create
has been repeated with suitable modifica-
tions. One of the specific complaints aneut
the relations Of the suffrage organizations
with this particular patron is that her
financial contributions are always made for
a specific purpose, instead Of being paid
into the treasury TO be expended as the
executive sees III.
The next meeting of the National Woman
Suffrage Association will be held in Wash
ington In April. and all these issues are

citation elects its president every year, and
a well known Western woman is talked of
the probable nominee Of the insurgent
party. The present president. the Rev.
Anna Howard Shaw, has held Office for
eight years.
