The next interruption was Eliza

escaped from them by promising to
talk TO them later in the evening.
The Princeton Inn balcony. after

and her followers until they later
gumshoed into camp.
Princeton-again meaning the boys
of the university-was eating its din

was no disturbance All that was re-
served for later in the evening when
Miss Freeman and General Jones adj
dressed the students. Then Prince

Do you know why the start was
made today so early? Because the
intrepid suffragettes were afraid Of
the college boys and thought they'd
avoid them by sneaking out of town
early.
BY the way. there's little piece of
scandal in connection with Elizabeth
Freeman's cart. She has an alcohol
lamp aboard and brews tea as she
rides. Elizabeth also admits that she
smokes cigarettes, which is a very
bad habit.
The army gave the go-by to Gov

Mrs. Louise Boldt has made a de-

delegation of the upper classmen, in
Mackinaw coats. their badge Of su-

called around to see her while she
was still at breakfast.

AL the suffragists are suffering
from what might be called 'the
mixers appetite," but Mrs. Boldt
halted her breakfast long enough tC
reply 10 the upper elassmen.
This is what she wrote:
Hurry the walters and we will
be with you. We sure do need an
escort. Come along.
"SUFFRAGETTE BOLDT.',
The college boys admiration for
Mrs. Boldt was good for the cause,
but it was hard on her. for she mar
rowly escaped contracting a bad
attack of writer's cramp. She had
to autograph half a million suffrage
postal cards. At least she said it
was half million, and furthermore
she maintained that the figure was
conservative.
