 Her baby, Katrina, is little more than a year and half old, and has not seen as much of her mother as both her parents have desired.
 Mrs. McCorInicks active work fin the suffrage cause began at Springfield short ly before the suffrage bill passed the state legislature. With Mrs. Grace Will bur Trout, Mrs. Sherman NJ. Booth and Mrs. Antoinette Funk she was known as one of the "big four" who lobbied suc- cessfully for the bill.
 After the suffrage act passed the state legislatures she was appointed chair man of the congressional committee of the National American Woman's Suf- frage association. She made her headquar- ters in Washington, D. C., and opened a strenuous campaign on President Wilson and Congress with the hope of obtaining universal suffrage for women throughout the country.
 Mrs. Mccormick spent the entire win ter and spring in Washington. Then she came to Chicago and opened up head quarters for the congressional campaign in the city hall square building. She was active in organizing the summer campaign to secure $50,000 for the work in states which vote on suffrage this fall

 Entertainments at Drennen Court are always marked with an ease and grace that makes them charming Yesterday afternoon Mrs. C. Travis Drennen was a hostess in compliment to her guest, Mrs. Darlyne Mcdonald, of Birmingham, Ala
 The hours were 4:30 to 6;30 o'clock, dur ing which period about 75 especial friends of the hostess called for a few moments chat with her and her interesting hon oree
 Golden rod, roses and Easter lilies to- sether with palms and ferns were used with lavish profusion to make a gaia setting for the event
 The hostess welcomed the callers in a becoming shell pink toilette of silk with lace oyerdress. Her honor guest looked stunning in cream point lace creation over old rose, tint notably suited to her dark type of beauty.
 Assisting them in receiving were Mrs. E. H. Martin, Mrs. William Turner Woot- ton and Mrs. II. B. Trimbe.
 In the dining room was the Cluny COW cred tea table, a lovely thing, with it's center decoration of Easter lilies beau tifully arranged in large Japanese basket.

 Do you find any superstitions about the numbers. that the people want?' asked.
 "Oh, a great many" was the answer. Several people have dreamed that they had certain number, and that it drew the car and they refused to have any other. I find that the number 13 is very popular instead of unlucky, as it is gen. erally considered. One man bought 19 tickets and insisted upon every number having a 13 in it.
 "One old farmer said a very funny thing" Mrs. Brown observed "He looked at the car from every angle and finally remarked; That's the same car that was here last year, and if you live until next year you'll see it again. You can't fool me. Nobody will draw it. There arc several who have objected to the color of the car and still others who declare that 1t makes them nervous to run car, and really all the funny things imaginable have happened-things that 1t would take a volume to relate-excuses for not buy ing"
