PHENOMENAL GROWTH
OF WOMAN SUFFRAGE

The very fact that the woman suf-
hage amendment was permitted to
come to a vote in congress is evidence
of the phenomenal growth of the cause
and as additional evidence of the adj
vanced step taken in behalf of the
movement we only have to look at
the way the various legislatures have
yielded to the demand for submitting
proposed amendments to the vote of
the people.
Only little more than a month ago
congress voted on the proposition. The
vote was reassuring and encouraging,
and there is no doubt that the favor
able attitude of congress added
strength to the cause and inspired
the active advocates of women suff-
rage TO renew their efforts in the
struggle.
Within the brief period since Janu
airy ~ seven state legislatures have
IdheH ldtOIdUIc dCtlOH III CilHSl OllC
of both houses, and in others advanced
steps have been taken in forwarding
the amendment along the regular chan
mel looking to the final action in the
matter.
The very fact that the suffrage
question came to vote in congress
gave it such firm standing before the
public that legislatures have felt
compelled to give it serious considera-
ton.
The West Viringia legislature in
January voted to submit the suffrage
amendment, the senate by vote Of
20 to !, and the house by vote of
rs to 3.
On January q the committee of the
Texas house of representatives report
ed favorable on the amendment by a
ote of Is to 2.
On January % resolution to sub
nit the amendment passed the Ten
nessee senate by q vote of rs to 3,
and the next day it passed the house
by vote of "A to IA.
February 1, the Arkansas senate
voted . submit the amendment by a
vote of % to IL, and February S, the
house passed it by vote of 81 to IS.
February 1, the suffrage amendment
passed the New Jersey house unani-
mously.
In the Massachusetts, Legislature the
amendment received only four dis
senting vites, and the Pennsylvania
house ;,ssed it by vote. of $50 to II.
If the question had been presented |
only a few years ago it would have
been literally laughed out of most of |
the legislatures, as a large majority |
IF the men were opposed to women
suffrage, but the question has gained |
strengtp with Intelligent, thoughtful |

its progress. and it is but a short |

every one has the necessary apparatus
for typography. Decorate the rooms
with nice, long curly shavings and
festoons of wooden plates strung to-

are a novel decoration, and meat

pins are very important factor for
use on this occasion.
Wooden dishes of dolly's possession
are just the thing for nuts and bon
bon holders and a large chopping
bowl is an admirable centerpiece
when filed with fruit and flowers.
Wooden pals and tubs make splendid
flower lots and tiny wooden shoes
may ne utilized for candlesticks. Or
course, wooden plates and spoons will
be used and small sized toy washtubs
are fine to erve ice cream in with in
dividual cakes. Very good bells may
be evolved from old-fashioned fruit

groom should stand to erceive con-
gratulations. For the refreshments
