Sufragists have wondered recently
why Miss Mary Donneliy, formerly so
active in the cause, is missing from
her accustomed haunts. Her voice has
not been heard on the street corners,
neither has she harrangued In the pub

Yesterday she emerged from her re-
tirement long enough to explain why.
The reason Is literary one. "Our
Mary" is writing a book. The book,
curiously enough, is about herself

that a further device had been per-

would be a good idea to have these ad-

they had been looking for.
The B. K. T., after opening the orig
inal bids, permitted the bidders TO re-
wise their bids so as to include an in

should prove successful. The General
company, having advantage of the ng-
