 The PNnam Equal Franchise League had a very successful meeting Friday, Sept. l0, when the first of the series of lectures that has been planned for the coming season was delivered by Mrs. Maud Howe Elliott of Newport. Mrs. Waiter J. Bartlett presided and opened the meeting with a few re- marks on the work the league has ac- cemplished in the past year and the plans for the future. The musical part of the evenings program was giv- en by Miss Gladys Farmer who sang two delightful solos, accompanied by L. 0. Williams at the piano, and re. sponded to an encore. Mrs. J. E. Ia tenn, Jr., read short paper on Cur rent Events in Suffrage, taking up re. cent significant happenings both in England and iu tlds country.
 Mrs. Elliott's address was on sui frage from the historical point of view, subject on which she IS eminently fitted to speak, owing to her personal experience in the suffrage movement since childhood as Julia Ward Howe's daughter. Mrs. Elliott has great charm of manner and held the close attention Of her audience. She told il number of anecdotes showing the great amount of prejudice that early sufira- aists had to meet and the change in the present day. She told also of the progress the cause is making, and the campaigns that are now going on in Massachusetts, New York, New Jer sey, and Pennsylvania, where the suf- frage question will come before the voters on election day. At the close of ] the meeting a collection was taken to be given to help the Massachusetts campaign.
 The Woodstock League, under the leadership of the president, Mrs. E. R. Rollins, conducted an attractive suf- frage booth at the Woodstock Fair 1 Tuesday and Wednesday. Literature and suffrage buttons were given away and all sorts of suffrage novelties were sold, including toys, balloons, penants and pencils, all labelled with the words "Yotes for Women."
