Mrs. Bailey has q
thoroughly real so.
eial position. One must admit the para
dox. a person with q social position and
q sense Of humor, but anyway there you
have It for what II Is worth. And Mrs.
Bailey spends her summers in a most
beautiful house. 1--WE milss from the
Of Katonah. psrched on a hill
every BIT ~ high a. IL that place which
the lady herself occupies In the world of
fashion. Yesterday. driving down the
hill from her homo, after my call on
Mrs. Bailey. I could not but think It
must be rather pleasant to have been
by the gods set down. or rather UP,
where one could thus comfortably sur
vey the treetops and-the masses. But
Need a Suffrage Lincoln.
II believe in Democracy" announced
Mrs. Bailey. Every real suffragist must
believe In Democracy. That Is what
suffrage means.
And my personal idea 10 that
the greatest present need Of the
suffrage cause 10 . roma Of the
masses, FOR the masses, . sufrrags
Lincoln, . woman who viii make
the working women understand the
cause 10 not . lady's movement
what We want, ana must have, 10
the crowds below Fourteenth
street."
"How get them3" / asked.
Through the women themselves" re-
piled Mrs. Bailey briefly. 1T really doe.
not matter for the present whether
men wish to give women the vote or
not. The point IL beside the argument.
Do you suppose II every mans wife in
this country was a sufragist there
would be much delay In obtaining equal
franchise? I spoke to a sepator when
I was up in Albany. and asked him
which way he was going to vote on the
suffrage bill. He said he was going to
vote whichever a his wife told him
to, and that she was an ant!-suffragis.."
But that does not mean anything"
I protested. "A husband Ike that
would beat his wife into saying what
he wanted her to, anyway"
Must Reach the Women.
Yes, but II would have meant some-
thing II that Senator's wife had hap
poned to be a suffraglst instead OF nm
anti" answered Mrs. Bailey. "what We
must DO now Is get tho women, N
more particularly the working women"
JUST at first she has a slow. quite
gentle and a slightly puzzled nne
has this humorous exponent Of the
Cause. Though one can understand
how, after she had once become inter-
csted, She would be girlish and simple
and quick, For Mrs. Bailey Is the kind
OF woman who Is %eternally young. ]
believe there are little Baileys. though
l forgot to ask how many or how old,
but although they may occupy quite a
position in their mothers life, they DO
not count at all In her appearances
Unless It may be they are taking the
place in the household OF a beauty doc
tor. For Mrs. Bailey's cheeks are col
ored and her eyes touched with a light
which comes from the entirely satisfao-
tory combination OF health and happi-
ness.
How would you make the appeal to
women 10 become interested In suf-

the women with money and power I'M

which working women labor? Or would
you strive to make working women
Nv fAANA NHANHA ~

Both" replied Mrs. Bailey. II think
the suffrage cause should appeal 70
women in every way. and l believe J,
is do!nG so.
Every method should be used
with the exception OF the militant
methods Of England. I do not be-
lieve In throwing stones, nor slap
