famous for many things, but last night
they added new fame to their renown
by showing their sisters Of the State
that made beaten biscuit famous that
they are more firm and dependable than
the women of other cities.
For they had their own little suffrage
parade in Baltimore.
In spite of the nasty little drizzle that
had threatened all afternoon, and that
came down In earnest at $3.50 o'clock,
they marched over the cobblestones of
those Baltimore streets, and smiled as
though they were really enjoying 1t.
Yes, they really smiled and II there is
anything less conductive to make people
smile than those hard, rough cobble-
stone streets Of Baltimore do not want
to walk upon It, Even the taxis seem
to moan and groan and sob as they
writhe through those streets, as though
they had corns on their tires; SO II is
easy to imagine what happened to those
brave and determined Washington wom-
en-, to the number of more than $50, who
braved the drizzle, and the cobblestones.
and marched by themselves down
Charles street, to the Convention Hall,
then over to the Union Station. accord
ing to schedule.
Thousands of people who would have
been disappointed in not seeing the pa
, rade were treated to the sight of a
gathering of modishly dressed, modest
| appearing, well-groomed women, carry
| ing banners upon which were inscribed
| this legend, Votes for Women" There
| wasn't a single trump among them, not
| a single freak. They were all mild and
placid looking, but there was that about
! them that seemed determined, too, and
they were all keen boomers for their
cause, very busy women, each one OF
them, and / think they opened the eyes
of visitors to the convention, too, for
all along the route of the parade such
remarks as these were heard:
! minded
| Ladies' we're for you
They, arc an intelligent looking class.
| aren't they?'
fragettes had done nothing more than
| this. 1t would not have been held in

! may not have accomplished, II has
| shown several hundred thousand people
! from all parts of the country that the
old-time suffragette has passed away.

younger, more modern woman, none the

than her sister of the early 70's, but 10
obtain it by less violent methods.
