HOW MRS. CHATTO,
ELLSWORTH, Went
TO SUFFRAGE MEET

When the principal officials of a
city agree to provide a woman with a
housekeeper so that she may leave
her household cares to attend a suf-
frage meeting early nearly 200 miles
away, it is a pretty sure indication
that good deal of suffrage sentiment
prevails in a city. That is exactly
what happened in the case of Mrs.
Julia Chatto of Ellsworth, who same
to Portland Thursday to attend the
luncheon of the Women's Congress-
sional union at the Falmouth, and the
story. quantity related by Mrs. Chat
to, called forth the most enthusiastic
of expressions.
Mrs. Chatto. so she informed the
ladies. was called up on the telephone
several days ago by the mayor of her
home city, who told her of the suf-
frage meeting that was to take place
in Portland, and said he would like
to have her attend it.
But l can't" the little gray-hair-
ed lady protested My husband isn't
we'll. | have no housekeeper, and my
girl isn't efficient enough to leave, |
positively can't do it,"
The mayor hung up the receiver, but
evidently he wasn't satisfied to take
NO" for an answer. for a few days
aftcrward Mrs. Chatto heard also from
the clerk of courts, and he had the
same story to tell. Again she protest
cd her inability to attend the meet
ings in Portland, and again he insisted
that she must find the opportunity.
But haven't any housekeeper." she
said over and over.
We'll furnish the housekeeper," was
the prompt reply.
1t wasn't such a long time after this
that motor drove up to Mrs. Chat
tos door. and the clerk Of courts dis
mounted from it, bringing her money
enough to pay her expenses to Port
land. Almost coincidental with this
came a telephone from her niece. say
ing that the mayor had ordered her to
go to Mrs. Chatto's and to remain
there until further notice.
With the housekeeping problem set
tied then, the little Ellsworth woman
packed up her belongings and set out
for the Forest City to become fired
with suffrage sentiment.
