Their work did not stop there, for the
wives and sisters and mothers of the
delegates who believe in woman suffrage

their yellow Votes for Women" banners
whenever a cheer was raised.
The seat OF every delegate contained
more suffrage literature, so that not

on the cause OF woman suffrage if he
chose to read them. and many did.

ANTS" for Referendum,

Miss Alice Chittenden Of Brooklyn, the
leader Of the ANTS" is convinced that
their plank providing for a referendum
vote on the question will be adopted. and
she thinks this Will help them. as the sIf-
frage proposition would be voted down
Miss Chittenden said this was her first
convention. and she hoped there would be
no need of another.
Il felt it was my duty TO come here.
said Miss Chittenden. ito oppose the
adoption OF an out and out suffrage plank.
We are convinced that the women Of the
state, and the men as well, do not want
woman suffrage.
AT the time Of the Presidential pri-
marles In Illinois last spring" continued
Miss Chittenden. "the candidate for Lieu
tenant Governor. who is an ardent suf-
fragette ran far ahead OF his ticket. and
at The same election the proposition TO
submit the question of woman suffrage
was defeated in Chicago by two to one.
Miss ChittendeD believes that one OF
the most convincing arguments against
woman suffrage was its Overwhelming
defeat when al! the other progressive
amendments 10 Ohio's new Constitution
were adopted

OF votes for women
Some OF the old line politicians sat up
with establishment whom they heard the
eloquent and logical way in which tho
women presented their arguments TO the
platform committee.
They would make a mighty good addi-
ton 10 our staff OF campaign orators"
was the appreciatlvc comment OF some OF
the men.
Suffrage was the first thing taken up
by the Committee or Resolutions. Miss
Harriet May Mills. president Of the Wom-
an Suffrage Association, took charge OF
the argument in favor She offered a
plank reading az follows:
Resolved. That we, Republicans OF New

principle 20 the women OF the state ana

First, because Of the sentiment that Is be.

third, because this is a question Of democ-

Miss Mills said that since she had stood
before similar committee four years age
woman suffrage had been granted in
Washington and California, and it would
soon be brought to q vote in Ave other
states
The cause is growing she added
There is no reason why the Republican
party should not be In the van in helping

Mrs. Martha W. Suhren, OF the Woman
Suffrage party Of New York, said IL was
not right TO tax women and then deny
them the vote.
Much as man needs the vote. woman

This grasshopper of copper. ham

when Boston was shaken by an earth
quake, the vane fell to the ground
but after being supplied with a new
leg by the son of the man who made
it, 1t was replaced.
Five years later Faneuil hall was
seriously damaged by fire. but the
vane remained intact. and when the
hall was rebuilt the grasshopper was
once more given the place of honor.

Planned Chops Are Good, Make Little.
Work, and Need Spread No Odor
How Quick Breakfast Breads
May Be Prepared.

Planned Chops.-When the kitchen
is near the living room it is important
to cook meat in q manner to avoid
odors. Planned chops do not offend the
atmosphere with cooking, although
there is bound to be some odor with
meat. For one person buy two rib or
loin lamb chops, getting the butcher
to French the first-that is, trim down
the bone so it will be bare. Rub a
dry pan, only large enough to hold the.
two chops, with a cut Glove OF garlic,
put it over the blaze, and when smok-
ing hot lay in the meat. Turn quickly
so as to scar both sides, and cook
only long enough; which is to say,
have the chops with some pink inside
when served Y The juices, and even a
touch of pure blood, should run with
the cutting. AS the chops cook pour
off the grease that gathers, and when
cooked put the meat on very hot
plate and then salt, pepper and butter
it. If chops are seasoned before cook
ing they will be tough. If allowed to
cook in the grease which draws from

Quick Breakfast Breads.-The light
housekeeper who knows how to make
/ light breakfast cakes, dainty popovers,
drop biscuits and gems of any sort is
lucky indeed. The rest of us must be
content with the bakers staff of life,
warmed up and tinkered with some
how to vary the taste. The bakeshops
corn mullins, graham gems, biscuit,
English mullins and crumpets can all
be made delicious with warming or
toasting. If only an asbestos is avail
able for the relocating, put mullins, bis
R cults or gems on this and invert a
saucepan over them to keep in the
heat. If there is a toaster, split the
English mullins and brown them like
any bread with the little convenience.
The crumpets may be reheated in a
double boiler or be made exquisitely
appetizing by being heated in a pan
with a lump of butter on top of each
/ "crump," as the dainties heat through
the butter melts and permeates them.
Put the brown sides of the crumpets
against the pan. With the inside Of
French bread pulled bread can be

CHAPTER XIV.


Outwardly, at least, Judge Brew
sters offices at S3 Broadway in no
way differed from the offices of ten
thousand other lawyers who strive to
exc out difficult living in the most
overcrowded of all the professions.
They consisted of a modest suite of
rooms on the sixth floor. There was
small outer Office with railed-off
Enclosure, behind which sat a half
dozen stenographers busy copying
legal documents; as many men clerks
were writing at desks. and the walls
were fitted with shelves filled with
ponderous law books. In one corner
was room with glass door marked
'Mr. Brewster, Private"
Assuredly no casual visitor could
guess from the appearance Of the
place that this was the headquarters
OF one of the most brilliant legal
minds in the country, yet in this very
Office had been prepared some of the
most sensational victories ever re-
corded in the law courts.
Visitors to Judge Brewster's office
were not many A man of such re-
nown was naturally expensive. Few
could afford to retain his services.
and in fact he was seldom called upon
except to act in the interest OF
wealthy corporations. In these cases,
of course, his fees were enormous. He
had very few private clients; In fact,
he declined much private practice
that was offered to him. He had
been the legal adviser of Howard
Jeffries. ST., for many years. The
| two men had known each other In
their younger days and practically
had won success together-the one
in the banking business. the other
in the service Of the law. An i'm
portant trust company, Of which Mr..
Jeffries was president, was constantly
involved in all kinds Of litigation OF
which Judge Brewster had exclusive
charge. AS the lawyer found this
ural that he had no desire to lose
Mr.. Jefries as client.
Secluded in his private office, the
Judge was busy at his desk, finishing
letter. He folded it up, addressed
an envelope, then lit cigar and
looked at the time. 1t was three
o'clock. The days work was about
over and he smiled with satisfaction
as he thought of the automobile ride
In the park he would enjoy before

in the court very complicated case
which meant not only handsome ad

could look forward to few weeks Of
absolute rest. He struck bell on his
desk and clerk entered. Handinl
