 MA - ~ O . SUFFRAGE NEWS
GA. G. Porritt.)

l
 One. of the most attractive features l of the public meeting which will form part of the proceedings of the An 1 nual State Suffrage Convention, will be a speech by pr. Yamei Kin, the foremost woman physician of China. Dr. Kin is the head of the Pei-Yang Woman's Medical School and Hos
 ptta1, a government institution which is graduating Chinese women for the very necessary work of giving medi-
 cal attendance to their own sex She Is also visiting physician to the Wid-
 ows' Home, the Girls Refuge and the Infant Asylum, all of which are also government undertakings. She is a, leader in the Chinese movement for the! advancement of women, and her address will be on the need of woman suffrage for the women of the world
 Another speaker will be Miss Helen Todd of California, one of the women who helped td win equal suffrage in that state. Miss Todd is an able and dramatic speaker and her story of how the women won the vote in Cali fornia and what they have done with it since they got it, is not only most instructive to eastern women but all so thri1lingly interesting. The pub lie meeting will be held in Unity Hall, Octobers20 and will be freely open to6the public.
 The Suffrage Convention this year is to extend over three days, instead of two as has always hitherto been the case. The reason for the change is simply that the association has now grown so large and the number of affiliated leagues so great that it is impossible to compress all the re- ports and the other business into. the sessions of two days. Delegates will register at Unity HaT-4where all the sessions will be held-at 11:30 a. m. on Tuesday, October 18th, and the convention will open at 12 o'clock with a short address by the president. Mrs. M. .Toscan Bennett will then welcome the conyention to Hartford, and the resp onse will be made by Mrs. Ernest Thompson Seton. On the evening of the opening day there will their friends at the Hotel Bond, fcA which tickets may be obtained at Suffrage headquarters, Hartford. Fol lowing the dinner there will be a reception at Suffrage headquarters to which all who are interested in wo- man suffrage are invited.
 October 19 is the date of the taking of the vote in New Jersey on the wo- man suffrage amendment. The work of campaigning in that state will therefore be at an ende and it is ex- pected that Miss Emily Pierson and Miss Alyse Gregory, who have been working in New Jersey all summer will be able to be in Hartford for the convention Miss Pierson will have something to say of her recent ex- periences, and undoubtedly he will receive 8 warm welcome back to her own tate.

ToDAx's POEM
THE DAY or PEACE.

 Done are the tolls and the wearisome marches, Done is the summons of bugle and drum. Softly and sweetlyl the sky over arches. Shelt'ring land where rebellion is dumb. Dark were the days of the country s derangements Sad wese the hours when the con- flict was on. But through the gloom of fraterna1 arrangement God sent His light, and we welcome the dawn. Ger the expanse of our mighty do- n1inions. 4 Sweeping away to the uttermost Peace, the wide-fying. on untiring pinions, Bringing her message of oy to our hearts. Out of the blood of a conflict fra Out of the dust and the dimness of death, Burst into blossoms of glory eternal Flowers that sweeten the world with their breath. Bloom in the hearts that are empty of strife, Love that is boundIess and broad of life. So with the singing of peans and chor- ra1s, And with the flag flashing high in the sun! Peace on the graves of our heroes the laurels Which their unfaltering valor has won.
 Paul Lawrence Dunbar.

 It depends altogether upon the dis positions, steady views. if tastes of both are alike, and both have same ideas of the present and future, as to suitability of ages. Some girls are settled and are wiser at Is than other young women of 25. A man should be older than the one he weds.

WH0LLY PLEASING IS THIS FRocK.

Decidedly chic and serviceabIa is this frock of blue indestructible voile, trim med with vest, collar and revers of white satin, although any other color
 may be substituted There are two ways of developing the front of the waist. however. for instead of rolling back, the revers may be turned for ward and fastened in pointed effect across the bust with button or other ornament The four piece skirt is pleated and closes at the left side front. The vest is part of an under body with high neck but without sleeves Outlining the lower fronts the belt and the peplpnn is narrow silk braid. To make the dress, in average size. requires $ yards 54-inch ma teriaL with E yard silk 36 inches wide for underbody front and back. and 4 yard z-inch betting for stay
 The underbody front and back are cut from a single width of the 36 finch material but inA cutting out the skirt and overbIouse of the dress the 54- inch yoile will have to be folded to be used to best advantage One-half fold of material is required for all except the front and back gores of the skirt, which are cut from A fold of 54-4nch voile.
 The back. collar and belt sections are laid along a Iengthwise fold of the goods so that they will be seamless. me Slde gore is cut on a lengthwise thread ofsthe voile so that the two sides are cut at once, insuring uniformity The sleeve and overblouse front are placed on a Iengthwise thread of ma ferial. opposite the back, collar and belt sections. Next to the overblouse front is the cuff. and following the cuff is the piecing for the side gores, the piecing being laid along the selvage edge
 In cutting the back and front Sgores of the skirt from a quarter fold of ma terial be sure that the se1vages meet: then see that the sections for these gores are laid along tho lengthwise fold. Reference to the cutting guide will show just how this must be ar- ranged.
 The neckline can be changed to any desired shape. but the 'sv', and stand ing collar. effects are most popular

This KdnSdn Once Kept Napoleon
From Sleeping Sleep of the Just

John Munsinger Of Howard. Kan. once
kept Napoleon Bonsparte awake a few
hours longer that the French emperor
wanted 70 be kept awake.
Cannon at Waterloo could not keep
Napoleon awake all the time. for he Is
said to have slept on his horse a few
moments at a time throughout the day,
catching up much needed rest despite
the roar Of shot and shell.
But John MunsInger Of Howard. Kan,
now 1O8 years old, once kept the great
Napoleon from sleeping.
Munsinger was baby in wittenberg,
Germany. Napoleon was on the march
into Russia. The vast army OF France
passed through wittenberg on the way
to the fatal invasion OF the cars land.
In wittenberg a large division Of the
army camped for the night, and Napoleon
and his wife, Marie OF Austria. casting
about for headquarters for the night
selected the large homo OF Mr.. Nun
singers father
John Munsnger was then a baby, and
his tiny Squalls over some article OF diet
that did not agree with him. kept the
emperor wakeful for a part of the night,
but the great Corsican did not complain.
IL made little difference. In fact, for
Napoleon gave little thought to sleep in
those days. He was planning the great
invasion OF Russia. When the Munsingef
baby had grown to boyhood. when the
Moscow expedition had sunken into the
annals OF epoch-making military failures.
when Napoleon was scowlIng his life
away on the island OF st. Helena, then
John Munslnger's father took the boy
on his knee and many a time related the
story Of that great march and Of the
night when Napoleon and Marie Of
Austria slept I'm their home in wittenberg.
The old gentleman related that Napol-
con and his empress sat UP late, very
late. talking over the great campaign.
Napoleon mapped out his plan of invasion
and declared he would hurl the Russians
TO defeat with the same speed and expe-
dition that had marked his other cam
paigns
The Empress Marie Just as stubbornIv
told her lord It could not be done. she
repeated over and over that winter would
overtake the French, and that the French
soldiers from their warmer ATTITUDES
could never survive the frightful winters
Of Russia.
History tells the tale. Napoleon was
stubborn, and the march went on. But
history has never related the tale of how
the empress sought to dissuade the en-
peror from that fatal military. biunder.
under the roof OF the Munsinger home In
Wittenberg.
