Comm tee Gets to Work
Mrs. Antoinette FUNK, acl ng chair
man Of the new national congress
ional committee, sent members Of
the House Oh Representative letter
containing brief survey OF he sun
rage measures now beto.e Congress.
Mrs. Funk also called attention to the
fact that there are now eleven fully
enfranchised states besides Illinois,
which. has the presidential franchise.
She stated that at the next presiden-
tial election there would be, accord
ing the settled ratio of increase, be-
tween four and a half and five mil
lion women eligible to vote for pres
idential electors. American women
are no longer satisfied, Mrs. Funk
declared, when they ask considera-
ton of their congressman, to receive
the haclneyed excuse that, they were
fairly representing their constituents,
when as matter OF fact they oni,
represented and considered those
constituents who possessed. the fran
chise.
Owing 10 the greatly increased i'm
portanse Of the work of the Congress
! s.onal Committee necessitating a
much larger working force, the rooms
formerly occupied have proven in
adequate to the needs of the new
committee, consequently fine suite
of latge and airy Offices have been
secured on the fourth floor OF the
Mun=ey building.
Appropriate Southern BOquet
A handsome blue eyed young south
erner, Miss Anna K Dent, at the
Chattanooga convention attracted
much attention not only by her beauty
but from the fact that she wore
handsome cotton gown. Miss Dents
costume was pale blue and cut in the
latest mode. Best of all the cotton
from which it was made was grown
on her own cotton plantation in Mis-
sissippi. As pleasing adjunct to
her stylish costume Miss Dent carried
huge boquet of snowy cotton boles
resting in a feathery mass of maiden
hair fern. The quaint -boquet was
much admired. Later Miss Den.
presented It to DR.. Anna Howard
Shaw, who accepted it with a few APP
propriate words in her own inimitable
manner Today Mrs Wesley Martin
Stoner, of WASHINGTON. was delighted
to receive by parcel post fine cot
ton bole boquet from Miss Dents
plantation in Mississippi.
