1t is not strange that Mrs. Stephens
has a keen love for the beauties of the
west. Not only is she native of Oregon,
but both her grandfathers were pioneer
settlers of the country which now forms
that state.
The question Of suffrage was brought
up. and Mrs. Stephens laughed:
1T isn't question with us, nor has
it ever been. Conditions in the west seem
different from those in the east. When
the men of Oregon found that We really
wanted the right to vote, they simply

One of the foreign questions in which

Extensive travel in Europe has not only
afforded Mrs. Stephens opportunities for
finding many unusual additions to her
collections. but has afforded her many
novel experiences. In speaking of the
scenic beauties to be found abroad and
those right here at home Mrs. stephens
sail:
1T is strange the attitude of many
people in regard to the west. They seem
utterly unable to comprehend the beau
ties of the country. The last time ! was
abroad l visited Switzerland, and / re-
member a conversation I overheard A
western woman and an eastern man
were discussing the Alps, the man ex
pressing keen pleasure in their infinite
beauty. The woman asked if he had
ever visited California, to which he re-
piled. carelessly. that he had not. She
then described the trip to Mount Lowe,
the slow crawl up the mountain side,
over deep chasms and along the very
edge of the great cliffs overlooking the
fertile valley below, and of how a per-
petual blanket of snow lay on the noun
tain peak, while in the valley the orange
trees might be in bloom. The picture
merely caused the man to deny that any
thing of the kind was possible. The
woman suggested that his next trip be
to California But he refused any such
guide to future travel, and said that he
would certainly not visit a country about
which so many palpably false statements
had been made
And while that opinion, fortunately, is
not general. it is yet typical of certain
type of fasteners. AS typical as the
case Of the woman who visited Catalina
Island and professed to have seen moth

to appreciate the natural beauties for
which the island is practically world
famous.
People go abroad and marvel at the
wonder Of European scenery. yet over

their own land. For instance, while |
