WILMINGTON, Del, February $50
we appeared in our true colors at last.
Or. on second thought, were they really
our true colors? Perhaps we shall never
know. OF course, We each know down
in our own hearts exactly what We think
about all the other pilgrims Some of us
even confide our opinions. But about our
selves. are we, beneath everything. more
ike the dirty. disheveled and tired wom-
en- who tramped the roads from New
York TO Wilmington, or are we. beneath
everything, more like the prettily dressed,
conventional looking persons who last
night came down to dinner? If we knew
we should know a lot of other things
besides.
For you see 1T was last night that we
emerged. And II was rather amusing to
watch.
We found ourselves in a really good
hotel for the first time since we started.
Also. We have a day of rest before us.
and we reached Wilmington by 5 O'Clock.
All contributing causes. the net result
being that each and every pilgrim had a
seance with her dress suit case and came
forth armed to conduct a campaign along
lines perennially popular with the male
sex How our manners changed with our
clothes, We became quite formal, even
with one another. So the people who
thronged the lobby of the hotel and
stared at us from doorways found us so
nearly human that they had some diff

Makes a Discovery.
But this much / have discovered: 1t
takes a cameras eye to see to per-
sons soul. If you want to know what a
woman really is like. watch her have her
picture taken. Watch her even when
there is camera in her vicinity Watch
the girl who, when she sees that some
person is about to have her picture
taken. keeps as close to that person as
she can. Watch her and then steer clear
of her. Or watch the girl who in a
group picture carefully elbows herself to
the front. Watch her and then steer
clear of her. Or. as the shutter clicks,
watch the elderly woman looking roguish,
the young girl looking serious, and the
one with the unkind tongue looking
chastely exalted Get a camera and
point it at your friends. then you will
know. This much seems quite sure. that
which people most ardently try to appear
for publication they most certainly are
not 1t is plain enough. One builds the
bulwark at the weakest point.
What the Bible Says.
Quite incidentally an amusing thing has
happened. There is a Bible in each room
of the hotel. OF course that is not the
funny part. But in the front of each
Bible is pasted card which bears the
words. Thoughts for the stranger" Now
those of the pilgrims who have looked up
the references have found that God
hath chosen the weak things Of the world
TO confound the things which are mighty"
Or again. Now / beseech you, brethren,
that we all speak the same thing and
that there be no divisions among you;
but that ye be perfectly Joined together
in the same mind and in the same judg-
ment"
And in using the last quotation / do not
mean any pilgrim in particular. 'Tis but
an arrow in the air. Perhaps 1t has no
application to the case at all.

Enemy Twice Encountered.
Yesterday We encountered the enemy
twice. The first time at lunch. We had
walked from Chester to Arden. and in
that town we had been taken into the
home OF Mrs. Lodge to rest and eat In
passing one might mention that 1t was a
very beautiful home But we did not
know till We had left 1t that Mrs. Lodge
is an anti-suffragist The people of Arden
rad asked her 20 lend her home in which
TO entertain the pilgrims Mrs Lodge
felt that southern hospitality should be
upheld. She consented. And so we
swarmed UP her charming. narrow stairs
and drank from her fragile cups. And
she. dear lady. stood In the hall, little
puzzled by II all. but quite willing to be-
lieve her guests must have some good
reason for the things they did. She was
very nice.
And again. in Mayor Harrison L. How
ell OF Wilmington we encountered a de-
sirable enemy When We marched into
his town we went straight to the city
hall. The mayor received us, and in q
speech of welcome told us that:
Although he was not entirely in SYM
pathy with the suffrage cause he could
not help but feel that women who had
the courage To walk so far should be
given what they want.
And there endeth the seventh day As
YOU read this each suffrage pilgrim will

Up and Doing Early.
WILMINGTON. Del, February 10
Bright and early this morning the fol-
lowers of Gen" Rosahe Jones in the
famous march to Washington were up
and doing While there was to be no
continuation of the hike there was
plenty OF work on hand. The suffrage
demonstrators are paying their way by
selling buttons and post cards, and Miss
Freeman's little wagon. covered with
streamers and Votes for Women" pIac-
ards. was in evidence throughout the
business sections OF the city.
The day in Wilmington was devoted to
demonstrations in the interest OF the
