miner digs for his gold. From her TABOR
she has saved enough money to support
herself for one year at the rate OF SIN
dollars a week. She proposes to give that
year to suffrage work At the end OF
that time she goes back to her ste

Col Ida Craft. Miss Craft lives at home
with her mother. Her family has always
had money. They own the home In whlcn
they live in Brooklyn. Miss Craft as elrI
was not very strong physically. Because
of this she has come to middle age, as she
says, without any very absorbing aims
and amusements. She has not been Wei
found something really to interest her IN
suffrage. She has become an ardent
worker. She has. perhaps suffered more
than any other walker on the tr1p. ana
this partly because of her naturally
fragile constitution. And she has without
question complained less of her SUFFERING

mother She has been on the stage for
some years, but more recently she has
been writing. She has written moves
and q play which she hopes soon to see
produced. Miss Aldrich is interested IN
suffrage on broad and rather sentimental
grounds. Being a worker herself, ana
having always had to work, she has an
overfowing sympathy for other women
placed in similar position. She believes
the ballot TO be the lever that will raise
labor conditions for women to a hiSner
plane.

Miss Phoebe Hawn is not more than
twenty years of age. She is very pretty.

those youths who live in that part of

her presence. Consequently Miss Phoebe
is a bit of "A queen IN her own way, and
has at times a bit of the royal manner
with her own and other peoples vassals.
But she is very sweet and wholesome
girl for all that, and some day she will
leave her father. who Is an instructor In
