WORLD OF WOMEN

Mrs. Robley D. Evans, wife OF Rear
Admiral Evans, has allied herself open
ly with the equal suffrage movement
and is quoted as saying, women
should be given the BALLOT!
"'Taxation without representation
was the cry that stirred the men OF
'76 and the same sentiment is apple
able in the case of many women IN
the United States today, SAID MIS-
Evans. "a large number of women
helm to fill the Golfers of the country
by paying taxes. Club women are de-
prived of Justice when the ballot is
denied them.
"The average woman is on par
with the average man intellectually.
When L was very young l read Inc
Subsection of Women by John stuart
Mill. The points brought out in this
work in favor of the suffragists are
unanswerable.
However," said Mrs. Evans, 'if the
right to the ballot is given women
during my lifetime, I, personally, shall
not care to cast a vote
who will be the next president gen
eral of the National Society of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
tion," is a query often heard, and
which will be answered at the forth
coming congress IN April.
At the present time the woman who
seems to hold the most strength is
Mrs. Matthew T. Scott of Bloomington
Ill. Mrs. Scott is a charter member
of the society, and has been an IN
defatigable worker from the beginning,
holding many national offices. Mrs.
Scott is sister of Mrs. Letitia Green
Stevenson, the former president gen
eral Mrs. Scott is the mother OF Mrs.
Charles Cromwell, wife of the just re-
tired superintendent of public build
ings and grounds.
The insurgents met recently and dis
cussed candidates. and have about
concluded that they will invite Mrs.
Charles Decker of Denver to be their
candidate. Mrs. Decker, more widely
known as Mrs. Sarah Plat Decker, is
the former president of the National
Federation of Women's clubs, is very
wealthy in her own right and is
woman of presence and of executive
ability. If elected she would undoubt-
eddy make a splendid presiding off,

Stephens Abbot, in explaining her re-
turn to the wage earning world after

gan earning her own livelihood some
time ago when the family met financial
reverses, and the charming society
woman took up the procession OF
painting coats of arms. Later she
included decorating and had a delight
full studio in New York city. Now,
after a two years rest, she confesses
to a fondness for a business career,
and she is again taking up the work
of interior furnishing, designing OF
furniture and converting homes into
French palaces and italian villas.

An indefatigable hauSfrau is the
>Wagnerian opera singer, Johanna Cad
ski. Her scorn for the girl ignorant of
the machinery of the household is
thinly yelled. Sewing is to her another
art. and she is frankly proud of her
skill in dressmaking and fine sewing.
Nine. Gadski keeps house in Berlin.
Last summer, when her plans did not
permit of stay in her home at the
beginning of the season, she did not
engage her servants. but during the
four or five days spent at home took
upon herself the duties of marketing
and cooking, an experience which she
found most exhilarating, for her
theories of cooking are as we'll de-
fined and as seriously regarded by
herself as her theories of singing.
Lurking dust was hunted out and
favorite personal recipes that had been
long craving expression were freely in
dulged in.
