She halls from little town-in a
southern state at that. But Mrs.
Cato Sells, wife of the Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, is just as ardent a
suffragist as if she had gone on hikes
and made soapbox orations on Votes
for Women" all her life. She has done
more than have many of the women
who work for suffrage in this way She
has converted her own husband.
Mrs. Sells is the proud mother Of
three children. The eldest of these,
Dorothy, is student at Wellesley.
The boy, Donald, is taking course
at Chicago university, and the young
est of the three, Barbara, is studying
at Rockford college, Illinois.
''The Sells family is really on the
best of TERMS" Mrs. Sells hastens to
explain with that ready smile of hers,
Notwithstanding the fact that one
would suspect us of not being on
speaking terms from the way in which
we have chosen to scatter over the
country. You see, it was this way.

wished to attend So we let them
choose absolutely. Why not?"
At her home in Cleburne Texas,
Mrs. Sells took an active interest in
public matters and belonged to more
clubs than she cares to acknowledge.
There was the Child Study club, which
she had to join, being mother; and
the Suffrage club, to which she could
not afford not to belong, being suf-
fragist; and the inevitable literary
club, to which every self-respecting
citizen in a small town must belong.
and then some others. But these did
not prevent her from being the most
constant companion and the closest
comrade her children knew. She was
the laughing stock of her friends in
Cleburne because she could never
leave her children at home with the
maid of an afternoon without feeling
nervous about it. So she used to take
them to the club meetings. And the
three little Sells, all in row, would
sit as quiet as mice throughout talk
on suffrage, or foreign missions, or
current affairs, or whatever might be
the subject of that afternoons dis

PRACTICAL POLLY.

BY Mary Marshall.

When after an engagement OF
weeks, Polly asked Mr.. Stanton to re.
lease her, the only excuse she could
give was that he was too inpracti-
cal to make her happy. The only ex-
cuse that he could offer to himself TO-"
having let her go with scarcely pro-
test was that she was much too prac-
teal to make a successful ARTISTS
wife. He had fallen in love with her,
wooed her devotedly for year and
finally had asked her to marry him
because of certain unusual and, to
his artistic soul, very satisfactory
combination of light brown hair and
dark brown eyes and wrist that was
Incompatible.
But, when Polly, after she had con-
scented to marry him, began to show
q decided taste for account keeping
actually evinced as great Interest in
the price Of paints and canvases as she
did in what Stanton put on those can
vases-he began to wonder whether
that wrist was SO Indispensable to his
career after all. So it was ali off,
before most of Polly's friends know
that It was "on." Polly had actually
