Toilette. wife OF the Wisconsin sena-
tor. who was the distinguished guest
evening in the council chambers of
the city hall by the ladies Of the
Votes for Women club. The pretty
compliment paid to Mrs. La Toilette
by the local suffrage club during her
brief visit while entour with her hus-
band was one that she thoroughly APP
prcciated and when asked for a short
talk h sracio, sly responded. though

their time in the study of the big
questions which laily confront their
home life. such as the high cost of
living, rather than wasting 1T seeking
small bargains. woman suffrage will
be general. Women who arc not

means for the education of woman to
the advantages Of woman suffrage.
Following Mrs. aFollette's short

to hear the senator's address and

LaFollcttc was accompanied by the
senator's secretary, Miss Dunn. and
both expressed themselves as delight

the local women. A group of twenty

Toilette with a wave of tiny American
flags when she entered the city hall.
