A Great Woman Orator

The first impression you get when you see
Mrs. Snowden is one Of beauty and grace. But
aside from that. you cannot be in her presence
for two minutes without realizing that she Is
a parsonage, You feel her quiet strength, her
reserve force as palpable facts, and from the
very first you are influenced by the charm OF
her simplicity and sincerity. True sincerity
is the most potent factor known to mankind
In securing attention and Difference, and that
is the chief characteristic of Mrs. SnowdeD
aside from all her eloquence. mass OF fair,
wavy hair surrounds n face at once placid and
gentle and luminous. To unusual degree she
Is possessed OF that personal magnetism that
Immediately enliSts sympathy, and no one, in
her case, can feel any incompatibility In a
handsome woman defending and urging great
causes.
Mrs. SnoEden's ideal for women Is a high one.
Upon one occasion. TO give Illustration, when
the writer Glanced to appear upon same plat
form with Mrs. Snowden, The program did not
move quite according to schedule, causing much
loss OF time, though It did not seem to be any
bOdys fault II was woman's assembly. Mrs.
Snowlen troubled
IF / were you," she said, 81 would leave
without speaking. We need lessons Of that sort.
Women are sometimes deficient in the sense
of time"
Nevertheless she is convinced that the suf-
frage for women must come and that nothing
can prevent it,. For, she says in one OF
ner books The nation cannot afford to go on
losing the intelligence, the energy, the culture,
the affection, and the devotion of more than
half its population The country cannot prosper
