PLANS COMPLETED
 FOR SUFFRAGE TEA-DANCE

With the conclusion of Lent came not the cessation of the good works which so largely composed fashionable interest during the penitential period. Either in philanthropic behalf or for some big public movement affairs have been set in motion so that there are still several large entertainments or campaigns for funds still to be eff feeted. even though society has it's Frivolous interests as we'll
 The Birmingham Equal Suffrage as- sociation is planning a the dansant which will be one of the fashionable incidents of the post-Lenten season, and incidentally will enrich their treasury to gratifying degree.
 Since the local associati ton is com posed very largely of women of social prominence or civic influence, it is un- derstood that from the social angle no affair of the season will be more smart: having in it's embership some of the cleverest and most artistic women in Birmingham it will unquestionably be charming from the standpoint of deco ration: having the expressed interest and appreciation of many of the most Influential men in the city-men who are also in the dancing set--it is cer- tain that the dansant will be we'll at tended. It is not difficult. at any rate. to secure attendance at a tea-dance.
 
 version.
 The dansant is to occur the first Tuesday in May, a glorious time when the flowers will be in bloom and it will be a simple matter to exploit the be- loved yellow of the suffra gists in gol- den yellow lilies. and snapdragons and golden glow. How many remember the tea table at such times Mrs. Solon Jacobs, the state president, or Mrs. Oscar Hundley, the local executive, have entertained representative of the cause: and big entertainments such as the luncheon for the recent visitors have been marked by a lavish use of the yellow which symbolizes the "cause." The Birmingham hostesses employ it on their tea tables with pe- culiarly affectionate enthusiasm. Huge rosettes of heavy gold satin ribbon cross diagonally over her filmiest lace cloth. Masses of drum major jonquils embedded in baskets ornamented with bows of gold tulle are surrounded by candles burning beneath shades the same deep golden yellow. Trays of yellow bonbons, big bowl of yellow ice, trays of yellow-topped cakes and sandwiches bespeak her loyalty in the dainty feminine fashion that is char acterstic of these hostesses who are so loyal to the suffrage yellow.
 Mrs. Hundley tells me they are to have a "suffragette' wafer for their guests. Everybody who has in times past been suavely corrected by some ardent suffragist for the use of the term will have an opportunity to ques- ton the creators of the "suffragette" waters as to the why's and wherefores of the name. Maybe the waters will be their own excuse for being! "Votes for Women' bonbons will be an appropriate accompaniment for these more substan- tial tea table accessories, and the of ficial Fall in Iine' suffrage march will be played.
 There are to be a number of enter tainment features. Miss Louise Long

SAYS GIRL DID NOT
CONCEAL IDENTITY
GRANDMOTHER OF RUTH MCUL
LOUGH SENDS STATEMENT TO
KNOXVILLE PAPER.

In signed statement to the Knox
vile Journal, Mrs G. w. McElrea OF
Knoxville, grandmother OF Mrs. Ruth
Mccullough who is held in the county
Jail here with Clarence McCorm1ck
charged with numbering I. w. Meiiot
of Ollie the night of October 6>says ina
the young woman has never concealed
her identity. The following statemen
is taken from the Journal:
Knoxville, Ia, Oct 10.
MI Editor:
/ would like to correct few state
ments that are in the papers concern
ing Ruth McElrea Mccullough. Ruth
McElrea has made her headquarters
at her grandparents, Mr.. and Mrs. w
G. McElrea, instead of Oskaloosa, ever
since she came from North Dakota,
about two years ago. She has done
Homework for some of the neighbors.
For some time she was housekeeper for
A. D. Jordan, then she went to Oska-
loosa and was waitress in the BROOKS
cafe for about three months. She came
back from Oskaloosa and kept house
for Mr.. Jordan again for several weeks.
About the last Of July she went to
Kirksville, Mo-, and was there about
six weeks or two months. She worked
at the Parlor cafe while there. After
she left there she fell in with this car
nival company, but never failed to let
us know where she was. She wrote
from Fl Madison, Minton, Pennington,
West Point and OttumWa, and never
kept her identity hid. She also wrote a
letter after she arrived in Chicago, dat
ed Oct. IL, five days after the deed was
said to have been committed. AS for
passing herself as Ruth Edison when
at Mitchellville, is all a great mistake,
as she was never an inmate Of that in
Afitntion or ever near the Mace.

WILL VISIT TOWNS
TO BOOST STATE
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION TO
ORGANIZE GREATER IOWA
SPIRIT IN COMMUNITY.

The Ottumwa Commercial associa-
ton has taken up the suggestion made
by the Greater Iowa associttion to or
game sentiment for bigger and
greater Iowa in Wapeilo and the sur
rounding counties of Davis, Appanoose
and Monroe.
That the local body has not been
from the fact that already dates for
meetings in the neighboring counties
have been arranged and meetings will
be held there at which members Of the
local commercial body with several OF
tumwa business men will be present.
A dual purpose will inspire these gath,
erings. The chief thought is to incul-
cate boost spirit for Iowa and all
things that go toward making bigger
and greater Iowa, bringing the states
soil products, manufactures, etc., to the
notice Of the world.
Another object is more local but no
less important and this is to create a
better community interest between the
four counties and the cities visited by
the Ottumwans. The advancement Of
the commercial or business interests,
the wider acquaintance and friendship
of those residing in these counties, all
making for better and closer commun.
ity feeling and the building up of re-
lationship that will make the four
communities unite in a general way
for their mutual advancement will be
attempted.
A meeting will be held in Abba, Mon
roe county, Friday, November 6. The
date was made by the Albians and is
agreeable to the Commercial associa.
ton. An open date has been made For
Centerville in Appanoose county, the
Centerville people writing that visit
from the Ottumwans will be agreeable
upon any date the local association
elects to come. No date has yet been
decided upon at Bloomfield and Davis
county may be heard from in the fu-
ture.
The meetings will be held between
now and the Greater Iowa week, No.
vember Is to q, creating sentiment
that will lead up to great interest for
the boosting Of Iowa during that
period.
