The Ladies' Battle.

The Ladies' Battle, by Molly Elliott
Seawell, Is one OF the first formal ex-
pressions OF the anti-suffragist side or
the agitation for woman suffrage. The
author is as enthusiastically assertive
on her side of the question as some OF
the suffragist expressions have been.
The reasons against the proposition
seem 20 be fully as forceful, but no
more convincing than the reasons pre-
sented for granting the ballot. II Is
book worth reading II you are inter
ested In woman suffrage, no matter
which side of the question you favor.
The Ladies' Battle, by Molly Elliott
Seawell is published by the MacMil-
Ian Co., New York, and Is for sale in
the local bookshops.
