Marguerite MCOers Marshall.

For the first time the Am. rican
women have taken the stump for a
political party in New York City.
Saturday. Founders Day for the Prog
ressives. saw scores of women all over
New York. in the public parks and on
the street corners. appealing to the
voters with loud voices and emphatic
gestures. The women were young and
not so young, of all classes and COM
plexions. Most OF them wore the con-
ventional tailored suit and linen shirt
waist And they had caught all the
conventions OF the stump. the raucous
tones, the right arm saving through
the air and the rest.
Founders Day founded something
else besides the Progressive party; It
esta blished once and for all the tradi-
ton Of the American woman on the
stump.
It was the note of acceptance. acqui-
essence. that to me seemed to sound
most strongly In the different audiences.
The men who listened were obviously
much less interested in the arguments

ONE YEAR AND ALL WOULD BE

Through the long winter Mrs. Reilly
nursed the twins. and through the
more dreadful summer. That was the
hardest part-the dog days, which
were baby days as we'll. When the

les still lived. Mrs. Reilly felt that
her night with death had almos; ended
In victory. She took the doctors esti-
mate as knowledge born certainty
that even nature could not balk. A
year. or year and a day of life. she
reasoned In her confidence, and the
twins were as safe as IL the year were
ten, or twenty.
yesterday was the eve Of the Arst an
nversary OF the twins birth. A few
more hours and the babies would surely
live on. Had the doctor not said so?
Catherine was beginning to look more
ike her mother every day. and Anna
was the image of Catherine. They would
have her comeliness when they reached
marriaSeable age. and there would be
John Reillys of a new genera ton to
make homes for them.
The twins lay In their crib all day,
their thin. blood!ess fingers intertwined.
while Mrs. Reilly hustled about the
kltcheci. She was baking birthday
cake in celebration of the saving OF the
twins. There were to be two candles on
tone for Anna and one for Catherine
and. perhaps. even with all the doctors
warning. crumb or two of their own
cake would not harm them. There were
