climbed their way westward.
suffragists assert that in the primers

and plains, through the sands and
marshes. with q six-cylinder for their

Two Of the women in question are Mrs
Sara Bard Field and Miss Frances Joi-
life envoys of the women voters OF the
west, who will plead before Congress Tor

Not a single mishap7 No. that Is
wrong There was just one. That,
though. was not their fault It was
brought upon them by man engaged
TO pilot them through the most tnacces-

and decision associated with the Swedish
temperament the women spoke.
Said Miss Kindstedt-rll buy an auto

Thus it happened that the two envoys
were driven out OF San Francisco. after
that memorable night in the court OF
abundance at the Pansma-Pncific Expo

the ENJOYS with their message to Con-
gress. and when Miss Margaret AnE!in,
amid a solemn hush. dedicated to them

Women give their most eager aspira-

keeping. realizing that you are to be the
voice crying to Congress to make straight
The paths of justice for women
