II is not unlikely that It will be 0ecr-
gan But she may want something
distinctive, unidentified with any set
Of ideas or traditions. Mrs. Belmont
has herself not said what she has In mind.
but II is known that she will take up
the problem and settle 1t quickly on her
return from Newport.
At tho same time and with her usual
prompt decision she will appoint the stan
OF the li,,le suffrage hotel and set the
place in operation. Mrs. Belmont feels
sure that the enterpris" will be success
because OF the number OF suaragists
from out Of town who make point OF
visiting her clubs headquarters when
in New York. Many Of these have said
that they wished the club had sleeping
rooms where they could stay over night
or longer If need be.
II was suggest ions Of this kind that
first gave Mrs. Belmont the idea Of the
hotel Now the only doubt seems TO
be as to whether the hotel part OF the
club will be inadequate to accommodate
those who wish rooms from the very start.
The plan Of the hotel was doubly VOL
come to Mrs. Belmont because a previous
plan for utilizing the upper Hoors OF IS
Ea 1T Forty-flrst street had failed. When
Mrs. Belmont first acquired the two
houses there was much more room. ap-
parently. than her club needed. But
she had the future in mind. So while
the Political Equality Association was
housed in No. Is Mrs. Belmont designed
most OF No. 10 for bachelor suites. They
were not inexpensive suites either.
1t was her hope that limited number
Of men Of means would be glad to engage
such desi rabla rooms. But in this she
was disappointed. Whether or not It
was tho vicinage OF the club that kept
comfortably OF bachelors from taking
rooms at No. IS Is difficult to say. but
that was the only apparent reason. At
any rate tho rooms did not rent.
Mrs. Belmont was somewhat disap-
pointed. and equally perplexed as to what
to do with the house. Then her lunch
club began to boom. She had wisely
made the lunch club inexpensive. There
were counter and tables. Soon 80
many folks came around at midday to eat
the table d'hote dinner offered or to
order the Is cent Ia carte luncheon
or to ask eagerly for the days soup. with
beans and corned beef on the side. that the
room became noisy and tho serving
girls simply weren't able to handle the
orders. The noise reached Mrs. Bel
mont in her little Office room and she
came actively out. Not bothering with
cap or apron to protect her costume
she pointed to plate Of soup In transit,
saying:
Give II to me-
The waitress obeyed. and amid an awe
struck silence Mrs. Belmont handed the
plate Of soup to the most hungry looking
person at the lunch counter. She went
right on waiting too. and soon there was
no more noise. no showing. no pushing,
no crowding. At o'clock Mrs. Belmont
said she wasn't tired. 1t was perfectly
easy, she added. if one went about it the
right way. She did not spill anything
while she was serving customers either
The lunch club booined nightly.
The-s wasn't room enough and Mrs
Belmont soon saw a use for one floor OF
No. 10 as an enlargement Of the lunch
room. Then came suffrage dances at
the clubhouse. and these became I'm
mensely popular too. Toward the end

The New-sv1r>e< Hotel!
Once month the assembly hall Of No.
Is was turned over to the artists branch

Once month the assembly hall Of No.
Is was turned over to the artists branch
OF the Political Equality Association.
The artists designed posters to reach
those unconverted ones with whom
speeches, however logical or eloquent.
were Of no avail. They made some good
posters. too. as you may SEQ by calling
at the club.
Another feature Of the club was the
department Of hygiene. Arrangements
were made with thirty six women doctors
to deliver series of lectures to women
only on Thursday evenings. The beauty
shop has already been told Of. But it
should be noted that on every bottle Of
beautifier sold in the shop is label marked
with blue five pointed star in the centre
OF which Is the initial Of the lady who
rcclines over the big front entrance OF
the club-Aliss Victory. So much, Mrs
Belmont explained for mental suggestion.
The suffrage dancing class In Thirty
fourth street. which had refused to
disband when the old headquarters were
given up, met in the new clubhouse every
Saturday night and had at least one fancy
dress ball. There was as a matter of
fact something going on at the clubhouse
nearly every night of every week Mon
day evenings were devoted to plain
unadulterated suffrage speeches which
were delivered from the assembly hall
platform by such headliners as Prof.
Charles Zueblin, Louis Anspacher and
DR.. Anna Shaw. Wednesday and Friday
evenings were given over to miscellaneous
programs, Nine. Nordioa gave a con-
cert on Wednesday December Q.
For these manifold activities Mrs
Belmont was responsible. Having got
her suffrage club indubitably on the road
to success she will now essay the hotel
project. What she will do after that it is
difficult to say.
Report has had 1t That she has been one
of the principal financial hackers OF Gov.
Woodrow Wilson in the field OF politics.
On this point Mrs. Belmont herself is
silent. Her friends. however. disoredit
the story. Gov. Wilson Is not confessed
suffragist. although one OF his three
daughters is and in his immediate family
all shades OF suffrage opinion are enter
tanned.
Whatever enterprise Mrs. Belmont
turns to in the future. after she has made
her hotel go. it is pretty certain to bs in
the interest of woman suffrage. iOf her
she has said that "a long a. she has
strength she will fight for 1t. And since
she espoused tho cause abe has never
ceased to spend her time and money
aiding it.

cents. Afternoon tea was served from
to 9 o'clock.
The lunch room was opened to both
sexes. 1t was really a transfer of the
lunch room that hnd been operated by
tho su6ragists in Thirty-fourth street
whore Miss Donnelly. who was in charge.
MADE many converts to the suffrage cause
ny her presence rather than by any
deliberate argument. The men would
converse with Miss Donnelly while lunch
ing. and Miss Donnelly did not miss oppor-
tunitiss to advance the interests of suf-
frage.
The rule of the lunch room in Eas I
Forty first street has always been first
come first served. No tables were re-
served for women. Ii was designed to
demonstrate that perfect equality between
the sexes which suffra gists want in politi-
cal affairs. Nor was the lunch room phil
anthropic. The fact that you could get
better food there for less money than else
where was undoubtedly what adc it a
60 from the start
Up on the second floor Of No. IL was the
beauty shop This seemed surprising
to many not verscd in suffrage ways, hut
1t was almost as big hit "a the luncheon.
Its wares naturally appealed to women
mostly. 1t was shop de luxe. Installed
al il is now in the basement of No. IS
1t is still a shop de luxe.
There are big show windows and show
cases. On shelves are rows and rows of
jars OF powder, paste and liquid aids
to beauty. young woman with abun-
dant hair, perfect complexion and pearly
teeth was engaged to sell remedies at
rock bottom prices. She did She did il
so well that she couldn't dispose OF the
stun as fast as visitors and members
wanted to buy 1t. Mrs. Belmont sold
suffrage shampoo mixtures. hair tonics
&c, one day for forty-Gve minutes to
help out. There was such a crush that
at the end OF that time it had to be an
nounced that no more preparations would
be sold that day.
Mrs. Belmont also built herself little
private Office on the third floor of No Is,
Then the upper floors of both houses were
fitted up AZ bachelor apartments. The
reconstruction now going on will put
tho clubhouse wholly in No. i5 except
that the floor one flight up from the street
In both houses will be given over to the
lunch room. All the rest Of No. 10 will
be the worlds first suffrage hotel.
Mira. Belmont showed ingenuity and
talent for organization in the work of
building - her new suffrage club. Every
Tuesday evening last winter she had Nine.
Gardner Bartlett conduct singing class
at which young women could leara to
sing the hymns Of the cause--and other
things and could also get the voice

ingly about the need of votes for women

She has made stump speeches, under
gone good many unpleasant expert
ences, iectured, written (even to conducting
a department OF hygiene in the news
papers) and has put her hand to every
task that presented itself. Once or twice
she has worked 80 hard at q particular
suffrage endeavor as to become really i'll.
The amount OF money she has spent
for the cause can only be guessed at.
Probably the largest single expenditure
was the $4,000 for the purchase and
alteration OF the East Forty-first street
houses. At one time she wrote upward
Of $500 personal letters to urge votes for
women. She paid New York State
suffrage organizer $1,000 a year. She
undertook to conduct a suffrage press
bureau at cost OF from SO 900 to 81, 900
year.
Lectures at her Newport home, Marble
House. brought in 81, 592 4s for the cause
She earned $1,000 with batch Of maya
zinc articles. She saw to it that the
State suffrage legislative committee got
1900. She raised over S27OO for the
striking shirtwaist makers. A list OF some
Of the known ways in which her money
went to aid suffrage compiled as far back
as 1910 totalled over SiI, 900.
Mrs D. H. p. Belmont is rich woman,
Of course, though her fortune has been
estimated at only 5000, 900 as compared
with the fortunes of several American
women. Mrs Russell Sage being one Of
them, who are supposed TO be worth
$50, ,OOO, ,OO0O or more. Mrs. Belmonts
income has been estimated at a quarter
of a million year.
She had distinguished herself In many
ways before she became Il su!fragst. As
q resident of Long Island she founded the
Hampstead Hospital, Her contributions
to charity have been very great. She
used, al Mrs. william X. Vanderbilt, 10
be conspicuous for her social entertan-
ments at Newport. 1t was when she di-
vorced Mr. Vanderbilt that Marble House
was given her in settlement. She had
BEEN Miss Alva Smith. Later she was
married to Oliver Hazard Perry Belmont.
Recently Mrs. Belmont bought six
acres at Broadway and what would bs

house In the city. She planned NOT long
ago to found suffrage daily newspaper
and she may do II yet. She offered her
estate at Newport, Belcourt, the gift of
her second husband, as hotel in 1919.
Last year she tried u women's farm at
East Meadow Brook, l., J., but later aban-
doned 1t. All the young. women on the
farm were suffragists and Mrs. Belmont
entertained them ut Marble House, New
port, while the farm was running,
