the occupational groups OF the Women
Political Union-teachers, students. doc
tors. lawyers. Investigators (social WORK
ers). nurses, writers, artists, scuiptors'
musicians. actresses. craftsmen, libra
rians and lecturers.
All these were in the parade Of 1911
and they nearly made UP the paraoe'
This year they were all there again. win
their numbers greatly augmented anu
they aroused again the same enthusiasm
along the whole line Of march. lhey
, made this year a line at least twice as
long as the one Of a year ago. Parllcu-
larlv notable was the reception ACCORDED
n the nurses. some two hundred strong,
Is trim uniforms Of white and piack
straw hats, and the college women IN
their caps and gowns.
Some effort was made for uniform OF
white for all those in the line, nut inc
nlan was not closely followed, and few
Of the organization appeared in an ap-
nroach to uniform dresses. When such
did come 1t was pleasing diversion
but on the other hand ito was equally
p,easine TO find the diversified colors'
and one gathered the impression that
ub,te uniform would have grown tire
some.
The girls from the Washington Irving
High School were among those who wore
uniforms-white blouses and blue EXITS
and from New Jersey came little
hand of politicians" also in uniform.
There were twenty OF them, In snort
white skirts and yellow curls They av-
eraged ten years of age, and ahead OF
them a boys band played "Everybodys
Doing II"
The Bronx delegation was led by a
band that played What Am. Going to
DO to Make You Love Mc?" And oyster
Bay sent one man. who carried banner
bearing the name of the town.
Ahead Of the section representing the
six states where women have the vote
Wyoming, Colorado. Utah, Idaho, Wash
ington and California--was a carriage,
in which rode the Rev. Antonette Brown
Blackwell a suffrage worker OF 1913
who is said to be the oldest living suf-
fragette. Banners were carried for
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Susan b. An
thony, Lucretia Mott Lucy Stone, Julia
Ward Howe and Isabelle Beecher
Hooker. The flag for Susan b. Anthony
was carried by Miss Lucy Anthony, a
niece of the pioneer.
As an organization the New York suf-
fragists gave place in the line to their
! vsitors. The New Workers made up the
last OF the organizations TO march. and
ahead OF them came the division of nom
suffrage states, led by DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw and the officers OF the National
Equal Suffrage Association. The states
represented were Connecticut. Kansas,
Maryland, Massa chusetts. Nebraska. New
Hampshire, New Jersey Ohio. Pennsyl.
vania--- which had several hundred from
! delphia-Tennessee Vermont and
Virginia and Washington, d. c. With
this division marched delegations from
Greece and the Argentine Republic.
| The delegations from upstate marched
first in the New York delegation, and
then came these from this city, In AS
sembly district groups.
The college delegation was distin-
guished by a large number of Barnard
college graduates who were celebrated i'm
their day as leaders in the political cir
cles OF undergraduate life showing. as
some one said, that amateur politics de-
velops In woman desire for the real
thing" There were also about seventy
Of Barnard's daughters Of to-day, who
were not permitted TO march under the
college banner, but simply as members
of the College Equal Suffrage League.
