on toward Albany. dashed into little old
New York yesterday, and the first place
she visited was the headquarters Of the
National Association Opposed to the
Further Extension of Woman Suffrage.
Next she was heard inquiring where Mrs.
Gilbert Jones lived. and then where the
Rev. Dr.. Charles Parkhurst lived. Al

and for goodness sake where We're they.
She must see one right away.
Fears were felt for her sanity, for her
LOYALTY TO the suffrage cause no one who
knows Mrs Stubs would doubt for ono
minute. However. it's all right. Mrs
Stubbs's explanation was simple She

voice that she would be glad 10 debate
with Mrs. Stubs at Rensselaer, or any
other place on December 30.
Mrs Stubs has the topic all arranged.
