from boasting of his conQuests. Afti-
davits from his neighbors, from former

stools. on which they sat while waiting
for the parade to come along. All the
various professions in which women are
prominent were classified in the parade,
ard there were numerous floats to show
that women really are a necessity in
this world.
The parade was headed by a company
of Scotch pipers, and in the forefront
were the College Equal Suffrage League
and the Women's Political Union repre-
