engaged In public library work In the
country, and a member of the Detroit

Friday afternoon, to the Detroit Equal
Suffrage club. in the Century building,
on her recent compilation OF suffrage
literature. 1t was the first meeting of
the season of the club and Miss
O'Flynn's talk was most apropos. She
said that sh chad compiled the biblio-
graphy on suffrage because she be-
lieved IL was needed, but that her work
had turned her own personal view
from that OF anti to ardent suffragist.
In the course of her research labors,
Miss O'Flynn said she had come upon
many books by authors whose discus
sion of the subject had been unknwn
hitherto. II found that all OF the
great writer's we're infavor OF equal
suffrage, and the obscure and puny
ones were against 1t, hence, my own
conversion" said Miss O'Flynn. Mrs.
