Miss Mary A. TowIe, of New York,
was the guest of Mrs. w. A. Johnston.
! on her way to Concordia, Kansas,
where she was sent by the National
Equal Suffrage association in connec-
ton with business regarding the Lila
s. Buckley bequest of about thirty
thousand dollars to the association.
Miss Towle met some Topeka people
While she was in town, who found her
to be a handsome and brilliant woman.
An article in the Concordia Blade
says of her:
A modern Portia is present, demand
ing a pound of flesh for suffragist's
! cause. Miss Mary A. Towle. counsel
lor at law, 1 Broadway, New York, "
SO reads the handsomely engraved card
of a tall, intellectual looking woman
who arrived in Concordia Saturday
National Suffrage aSSociat ton IN con-
nection of the Buckley legacy. Con-
cordians have no doubt read of women,
or as one anti-Suffs put it, Sh law
yers. but Miss Towle is the first one
to be present in person. A few mo-
ments conversation with her Will con-
vince the most skeptical that she is
every inch a lawyer, and we have noted
that she is talI-and that the farmers
theory of the camel that there amt
no such ANIMAL cannot be applied to
the woman lawyer observations.
Miss Towle is a lawyer. However, 1t
should be added that this is a second
airy consideration, and that primarily
she is a Suffragette, not the sulphur1c-
acid in the-mail-fourteen rattles-and
a-button kind, but a cool, pertinacious,
incisive, calculating suffragist. She
lives it, talks it, and with her it is a
feeling so strong that one suspects that
her maternal instinct has been trans
formed by some psychical alchemy IN
to a new kind of sentiment of which
suffrage is the object
Miss Towle may return in September
to conduct the case in court, although
she says that in doing so she feels that
the court jury and spectators would
regard her as a specimen, which sne
denies being and declares that notoriety
of this sort is not what she is seeking
for She insists that when the world
shall have readjusted it's purview to a
sane suffra gist one, that women law
yers will not be regarded differently
from female bookkeepers or steno-
graphers.
