 Headquarters.

A Washington dispatch says: When the National Woman Suffrage associa- tion opened headquarters in Washing ton about a month ago and announced it's intention of giving suffrage pag- cant and demonstration at ipaugura- tion time which would rival in interest any other single feature of the big weeks doings the "cave dwellers" of the capital who had witnessed in- Sugural parades and pr' sessions since we began having them iudulged them selves in some pardonable laughter.
 That was a month ago, however From that day to this the suffrage headuuarters has been the busiest place in Washington, and at last the belated inaugural committee has tum. bled to work frantically in the fear that the womens demonstration of March 3 will overshadow in interest any of the following days events ex- cept the actual administratin g of the oath of office to President Woodrow Wilson.
 The women's headquarters was plac- ed in charge of Miss Alice Paul, a Swarthmore college graduate and so- ciety girl of Philadelphia. Under this management the plans for the pageant progressed, and as far as they have been announced they indicate that the inauguration visitors in Wash ington are to witness novel and won- derful spectacle. The pageant is to be the supreme effort of the equal suf- frage movement in America. Those planning it realize hat this anaugura- tion will bring to Washington not only the leaders but the working rank and file of the political party which may dominate the affairs of the nation for years, and it is proposed to send every visitor back with woman suffrage for ever associated with the scenes of the Wilson inauguration.
 The spectacle will consist of two parts linked to each other and simul. taneously in progress. One part is the procession of women, which in itself will be unlike any parade ever given before. The other part will be ser ies of tableaux, a sort of morality play in dumb pantomime describing in fas- cinating pictures the progress of wo- men all the while the procession is passing the ouidoor stage on which the actresses will play. The broad south porch of the treasury building at the western end of Pennsylvania avenue has been chosen for the stage. The present indications are that 1000 women will march in the procession.
 Then there will be uniformed com panles of college girls from Radcliffe, Vasser, Byrn Mawr and .Swarthmore, of the east, and coeds from the west, chanting their college yells as they march.
 The principal characters in the tab leaux will be played by famous ac- tresses who have volunteered their services. There will be Greek chor- uses made up of the highest priced songbirds of the Metropolitan grand opera troupe, headed by Mme. Lillian Nordica, an ardent suffraget. Scat tered through the parade will be scores or more of floats representing victories for women. The action of the tab. leaux, which will carry the thread of history, will be timed so that each float passes the granite stage, at it's proper place in the mute story. Some of the groups on the floats will leave the procession at the treasury and be welcomed at tho steps by the central characters, thereafter taking part in the action.
