put back it's ears at the indirect but
familiar command.
We could get acquainted readily with
one so genuine, and we entered into
conversation. To this academic ques-
ton, What are Vermont women do
ing?" she replied readily, "Well. I'm
washing and the rest Of them are
minding their business" ~ suppose
women will vote some day" mo, I'm
not working for it, and | don't want to
see it come. Yes, III vote when the
rest of them do. Mrs. Weiman. over in
Manchester, says that we ought TO get
together and study economic conditions
so we'll know how to vote on them
when the time comes. | expect TO play
a golden harp some day, but don't see
why should study music now"
She talked of her family back six
generations, and was proud of the fact
that hers had been a Tory family.
ITS the fad nowadays for people to go
away from home" she said. "I've been
away once or twice, but1 carefully con-
ceal the fact"
She talked of the simple construc-
ton Of the community, where the poor
are taken care of by their neighbors
who are more prosperous. 1t was plain
to be seen that she welded the sceptre
of charity and that her word was gem
orally law in the valley. There are
only two poor families in the valley,
and they're shiftless. There was Hiram
Scribbs. He was just do-less. So long
as he got help he wouldn't work. For
awhile he'd even go to the moving
picture show in Manchester two or
three times a week. I've only been
twice in my life. Finally, | said 10
him: Now, Hiram, we can get work
for your whole family. | can put you

wife can 20 to Conrad's farm What

Hiram went to work and supported it,"
Large and comfortable, coming from
an old and respected family in a COM
munity, simply constructed, where
things are still decided in town meet
ings, where her word has always been
listened TO and acted upon, proud OF
tradition and snobbish toward any
change, she has never felt the need of
voting nor pleasure nor pride from
winning it. In fact. she has the vote
now, and always has had it,
As we were leaving, Peggy was caught
across the road, sneaking off toward
the fields to be with the men and the
reaper. Peggy is just crazy to follow
that reaper and have her legs cut of.

Peggy put back her ears and came
back with a conciliatory manner.

seemed so badly in need thereof.
zone day | found myself sitting in
my bath, which happened 10 be a port
able one. thinking hard of the problem
il seemed impossible to overcome. and
suddenly il occurred TO me, II fold
ing bath, why not a folding theatre?
Every one told me il could not be
done. However, did not allow myself
to be discouraged and went ahead,
hardly changing my original concep-
ton, building and designing the tiny
theatre which has got the name of the
POrtmanteau Theatre, although il takes
up ten boxes weighing $50 pounds
Mr.. Walker tells that the theatre
when erected is l6 feet high, % feet
wide and IS feet deep. requiring a
room at least 40 feet, deep and 25 feet
wide to seat $50 people, there being
usually door somewhere near the end
of a room, which serves as an exit.
He has invented his own scheme of
lighting. which is easily adjustable to
any common house electric wiring and
which has never been duplicated in
America, giving a soft, mellow. har-
monious effect. so different from the
usual hard rays of the theatre lamp.
To erect has taken three hours and

A IA TINE when the grim realism
N of Russian drama has cast its

money is there in ?" is the only ever
posed question of the American pro-
Queer, it seems truly remarkable to
hear of man whose theatre is to have
for its fundamental theme nought but
"joy and youth" and who asks merely
to pay his expenses.
This is what Mr.. Stuart Walker,
brimful of enthusiasm and overjoyed at
the realization of the dreams of his
youth. is doing with the Portmanteau
Theatre. whose name speaks for its
size.

will be gradually reduced to a much
shorter period.
At the present moment Mr.. Walker
and his company are giving the plays
at Chrstodora House, but gradually he
wishes the various organizations OF the

the eagerness of these people to learn

She was the dam keepers wife.
Their house stood alone in the noun
tains by the side of the dam. The dam
was TO furnish water power TO the cleo
trio power plants in Massachusetts,.
We reached there as the storm broke
that night. 1t was too precarlous to
risk rest in the woods on such night.
so we asked for shelter and supper.
The dam keeper met us at the door.
To our inquiry he deferred to her.
"She has to do the work" he said, so
she'll have 10 say" 1t was only a
form with them. and she was willing
to take care of us.
The storm ragged all night and the
next day. The nearest town was
twelve miles away, and the bridge on
the only highway went out. The chill
dren couldn't 20 to school. They have
school there in the summer time. be-
cause they are pretty well stormbound
in the winter and it is difficult to get
a teacher. The COWS were stranded IN
the pasture, and the dam keeper had 10
wade through water to his waist and
drag them home with ropes about their
horns. 1t was the keepers duty also
TO watch the water in the dam and
record the rainfall. He kept careful
watch upon both during the day.
When ordered, his Job was to open the
valves of the dam and let the stored-up
water from the mountains rush forth
through the pipes on its forty-eight-
hour Journey TO move the wheels of the
big electric power plants.
They saw Few people there. Occa-
sionally some one would journey up to

They were an aged pair. but she was

through the Green Mountain country
Of Vermont and across Washington
County of New York State, asking for
food or shelter at kitchen doors,
brought us into close association many
times with those whose lives were par
ticularly marked with condition and
fact. "Can we buy our supper here :?
or would you mind if we slept in
YOUR barn tonight" will usually start
a conversation as 70 where we came
from and where we are going, which IN
turn leads to an urburdening of princi-
pies and ethics and hopes and fears.
In a distance covered of about one
hundred and thirty miles we met, for
instance. the woman who has no out

the woman who expresses herself
through her "woman's way; the
woman who is too busy with woman's

the woman, anti-suffragist, whose fam
