most charming incident Of her life, the time
when at the age Of eight, she crept down
stairs i'm her "nightie,' candle In hand, anu
cut out from her fathers law books those
parts wherein she thought woman was un-
Justly treated. The suffragists are looking

all the fiercest miltants in evidence, ana
"bobbles." street waits, American report
