Chicago, Jan. 4.-The argument, so
often brought forth by anti-suffragists,
that woman's suffrage is bound to-
make women's masculine, has just re-
ceived a severe blow at the hands OF
DR.. Anna Blount, a prominent Chica-
go suffragist On a careful investiga-
ton of the matter, she arrived at the
conclusion tnat the afternoon tea, the
most feminine Of all social affairs, is
the best means of extending suffrage
educational work So a series of teas
has been arranged for every Friday
afternoon in the Chicago suffragists'
headquarters, TO which all who are in
terested in the cause, either actively
or casually, are invited.
"Anti-suffragists will be especially
welcome" says Mrs. Blount. land we
hope they will forget the strange no
ton that suffragists become strange,
sexless creatures when they find we
enjoy a bit of a chat over a cup Of
well brewed tea as much as the wom-
an who has no thought beyond box
of candy and the matinee"
Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, the new
state president, is enthusiastic over
the suffrage pink teas. as she delights
ir calling them, and will cooperate
with DR.. B.Ount to make them a sue
cses. These Friday afternoon teas
will interest many women who are
not particularly interested in the gen
eral suffrage work" she declares.
we have so many literary women in
our ranks that it will be al easy mat
ter to obtain excellent reviewes of the
late books
81 never scorn the pink tea. 1t
1 fills an important place in our so
cial life, and can be put to good use
by suffragists in their educational
work"
When the idea was first conceived
by DR. Blount, it was with sole object
of stimulating an interest in the liter
ature department of the state OF
which DR.. Blount is chairman. Any
number of splendid books bearing Oh
the subject Of woman's suffrage have
been brought out by the publishers
, during the last three years" said
DR.. Blount recently. 1T is surpris
ing how many women are uhaCquaint
ed with these recent works and, IN
my opinion, a short review of one
book every Friday afternoon, with {
general discussion following, accom-
panied by a cup of tea. will sunni

MistIetoe and the Druids.

The custom of decorating strategic
points in the household with sprigs of
mistletoe at Christmas dates far back
to the time of the Druids, who held
the little plant In great veneration.
At the approach of their winter festi-
val, twigs Of 1t were placed above the
doors OF their houses to serve as tai
ismans and signs to the sylvan del
ties that shelter and comfort awaited
them within.
Present-day customs relating to
mistletoe represent the evolution OF
the Druidical legend.

A Christmas Message From the Dead

From Papers Of Paul Davis Gun
ningham, Deceased.
(Copies Given to Applicants by S.
A. Cunningham, Nashville, Tenn.)
You think of the dead on Christmas
eve,
Wherever the dead are sleeping,
And we, from land where we may
not grieve,
Look tenderly down on your weep
ing.
You think us far; we are very near,
From you and the earth though
parted.
We sing tonight to console and cheer
The hearts OF the broken-hearted,
The earth watches over the lifeless
clay
OF each of it's countless sleepers,
And the sleepless spirits that passed
away
Watch over all earth's weepers.

have sufficed to clench more votes that he needed
to insure his election.
Vardaman knew it; but he did not give it
thought. He ignored the hand, informed the wise
old editor in perfectly understandable English that
neither his friendship nor opinions were of value,
and walked away. The next morning that paper
was off the fence and in the other camp with BAN
ners flying. Foolish, wasn't it? Of course it was.
Dead, rank, uncompromising foolish honesty! But
submit there sno flavor of demagoguery about it.
If space permitted, scores of just such unwise,
polite acts could be recounted But there isn't an
anecdote in existence that will show Vardaman
as a trucker, or dishonest, or insincere.
No man in the public eye today cares less about
criticism. He never drinks liquor; but he can mix
a most insidious ju1ep for friend who does. A
poor man, his home life, even while Governor, was
of Jeffersonian simplicity. His recreations
almost entirely confined to riding horseback and
reading, and few men are as familiar with all that
is worth while in literature.
Vardaman is striking figure of man. Six feet
TALL stalwart broad shouldered straight forest
Indian, his strong, clean-shaved face, bronzed
from life in the open radiates strength and mag
netism. Always Immediately dressed, kindly
eyed, and gentle voiced, he is usually distinct
shock to the stranger from the North.
That he will fail in his self-appointed task of
securing the repeal of the fifteenth and the modi-
fication of the fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution by winning over the United States
Senate is foregone conclusion; but it is entirely
safe to prophesy merry little time when the
gentleman from Mississippi goes into action.

would see that the warden took his place among
them. The effect was immediate and salutary
Even his enemies admit that Vardaman made
an admirable Governor. Had the constitution
of Mississippi permitted a second term, and
Vardaman desired it, it is doubtful if a real OPP
ponent would have entered the race against him.
He did desire it; but, while he had and still
retains serious doubts as to the value of certain
specific parts of the United States Constitution,
Vardaman has an abiding faith and loyalty
toward that of Mississippi. Besides he wanted
to speak out in meeting on the question nearest
his heart-and the meeting is held in Washington.
He didn't get there in his first race though
he came mighty near it. 1t was close fight,
and John Sharp Williams the logical successor
to Senator Money, by an eyelash. And
thereby hangs tale indicating pretty conclu-
sively that as a demagogue Vardaman is some
what of failure.
There was wise old editor in Mississippi who
didn't like Vardaman. No one thought Varda-
man had a ghost of chance to win; but the
editor had kept his closer to the ground than
most men. A week or two before the primaries
his .paTer began to climb on the fence. To his
prophetic sight, the signs spelt Vardaman The
next morning he conveniently met the Governor
on the way to the Capitol, and came forward
with extended hand.
"Good morning, Governor" he said with an
ingratiating smile. fittings seem to be coming
your way"
