Just about then, Tom Taggart, the great political gun of the state heard her story, grasped it's meaning and joined forces with her. Other sena- tors, including Charles B. Clarke, and many representatives joined hands to help in the little woman's cause. with the result that the last Indiana Legislature passed the bill that gave to the state the best housing law in the Union. The Indiana Federation or Clubs had stood by her from the first and had been a big booster in every county.

 Mrs. Bacon has become a woman of national reputation. She is being sent for all over the United States. The demands for magazine articles are more than she can fill She has spoken in nearly every eastern state and many others.
 She is a sister of Annie Fellows Johnston, author of the attractive Little Colonel!" series for girls, books that are wholesome and true to nature. Mrs. Bacon has assisted Mrs Johnson in nearly all of them, some times drawing the pictures; some times contributing a beautiful thought for Mrs. Bacon's mind is intensely spiritual and intellectual
 Her letters are beautiful, sometimes containing pen-drawings showing how she is occupied at the moment. Sometimes it is of fight of blue birds showing tender thoughts sometimes of a needle and thread and a half dozen buttons that she is sewing on for the twins; sometimes of darn ing ball and a stocking with a great big hole in the toe. She is intensely clever, and would be a witty social leader did she not have so much else that is more worth while.
 She is so petite that her feet have to swing when she sits in an ordinary chair.
 She is a member of the National Housing Association and says that she intends to work for housing until every state in the Union has as gooC a housing bill as Indiana.
