as Of Colorado, chairman of the COM
mit.ee. today.
Leaders of national thought in the
world of women, such as Anna How
ard Shaw, Jane Adams. Helen Keller
and Charlotte Perkins Gilman, will be
heard. Women who toll in the fac

from the trades union ranks and from
the social settlements and Government
bureaus. Women employed in the pro-
fessions will speak through attorneys,
writer's and scientists. Society women
chance to express their view of the
need for woman's using the ballot.

Bowing, he touched his lips gently to
both hands, released them with a little
sigh that ended in a contented chuckle,
exchanged a short, tight grasp with
Whitaker, and left them.
Whitaker followed him almost i'm
mediately into the gangway. but found
that he had already left the theater.
For some time he wandered to and

On the stage single cluster-stand Of
electric bulbs made visible the vast,
gloomy dome of the flies, and the white
washed walls against which sections Of
scenery were stacked like cards. An
electrician in his street clothes lounged
beside the doorkeeper's cubicle at the
stage entrance, smoking a cigarette
and comforting with the doorman while
subjecting Whitaker to a curious and
antagonistic stare.

an occasional ringing of boot-heels in

Whitaker was left alone with the shad-
ows and the electrician and doorman.
These betrayed signs of impatience. He
himself felt a little sympathy for their
temper. Women certainly did take an
unconscionable time to dress.
At length. he heard the sound Of two
pairs Of feet hurrying along the heavy
rangway. He turned to join his wife
at the stage entrance. Elise passed

bags. and disappeared into the rain
