One of the most interesting reports was from Mrs. Edward Porritt on the New England Conference of Suffrage Workers, which she had attended in Boston the Thursday and Friday pre- vious. She told of the great suf- frage banquet held at the Hotel Som erset. When this was first arranged 1t was expected that there would be about three hundred women present Instead of three hundred, there were six hundred women and a hundred men gathered in the banqueting rooms of the hotel on Thursday eve ming of last week, and after the ban quet there was speaking which last ed for over two hours.
 The following day the women gath cred in Suffrage Headquarters. 585 Boylston street to discuss the plans of campaign which are being put into operation all over Massachusetts in preparation for the popular vote next November. Every county in the state was represented as well as q very large number of the towns and cit tes. The Massachusetts women are relying chiefly on a personal canvass of the voters. In every case where it is practicable they obtain the sig nature of the voter to a statement that he will vote for the amendment The cards with these signatures are then sent to the leaders and 1t Is easily seen where the sJtffraagists ap- pear to be weakest. and speakers and campaignefs can be sent to strength en these weak spots.
 The air of confidence and courage was unmistakab1e. It is evident that the Massachusetts suffragists believe that they will win, and also that they have pretty good grounds for this belief. They frankly acknowledge that the amendment was allowed Co pass the legislature the first time be- cause it was felt that it would be de- feated at the polls. But since Mass achusetts became a campaign state since the voters began to realize that they would have an opportunity to decide the, question, there has been an immense change in sentiment. The suffragists have aroused themselves as never before, and they have dis covered suffrage feeling tn the most unexpected places Mayors, ex- mayors, governors and ex-goveTnoFs as well as present and past members of the legislature have come out m their flavor, and thousands of women who until this year had taken no active part in suffrage work are pa tientIy canvassing the electors and
 getting signatures to the pledge to vote for the suffrage amendment. About the middle of November we shall be hearing, from these women. How the Vote was won in Massa-
 chusetts.

SETTING THE DAY
Dear Miss L,Dbeys-

Dear Miss Libbey.-
 I have been a young mans sweet heart for over two years-have had the wedding date set twice. Just be- fore it, he told me he couldn't meet the time, putting me off. He does not go with any other girl. Shall I go with him any Ionge-or not?
 Dismiss him temporarily, refusing anirn permission to call for three months, telling him if he is ready to wed at the end of that time well and good; if not, you will part from him. You cannot afford to ruin your mat rimonial chances with "a lover you be- lieve it might be this year, next year, sometime, never.

 SUFFRAGE NEWS
GA. e. Porritt)

One of the most effective speakers among the women who are now cam paigni1g in Massachusetts is Miss Helen Todd of California. After the Massachusetts campaign is over, it is expected that Miss Todd will come to- Connecticut, and Connectt- cut people will have an opportunity of hearing her wonderfully graphic and touching description of how the California women won the vote. Miss Todd renders the most heartfelt tri-, bute to the men of California who by their action in adopting the woman suffrage amendment to the Consti- full citizenship and drew them up beside themselves to sit as sovereigns of this great Republic This suf- fragist ideal of chiva1ry and gener- osity contrasts str1king1y with the antf-suffrage ideas Of women as i1- 1ustrated among the foreign popu1a- tions among whom the New York women have to do so much of their their campaigning for the vote.
 A story of an experience of Miss Lavinia Docks among the Greeks of New York city supplies an effective contrast to Miss Helen Todd's char aeterization of the action of the Cali fornia, men. Miss Dock asked one of these Greeks, an Intelligent man who had been naturalized citizen for twenty-five years, to vote yes on the woman suffrage amendment next No vember. He replied that he could not give such a vote. Excuse me, Madam was his polite excuse, This is America but we are Greeks. In our country it is the custom for the women to be under the feet of the men Here it is not different. I support my wife. she does not go out to work, and outside of the house she has nothing to say" A sister-in- law of the man was present who could speak no English, and Miss Dock asked the man to act as inter preter and get the wornan's opinion of giving women a say in municipal and state affairs. Madam, replied the polite Greek, 'sI cannot ask her. She cannot even think until she has her husbands permission.''
 This is a frank rendering of the anti i-suffrage position. Women un- der the feet of men, It does not sound quite so well as the other phrase of setting women on a pedes- tai; but it more truly represents the tn ought of the majority of men who are anti-suffragists and it Is very fl- | Iurninating for the anti-suhrage la- dies to see how the foreigners regard tn ecaAse that they are championing a cause which shall keep women l where they are in Greece and in
 many other European countrfes-un der the feet of the men. Does not 1 the California. example show up fine Iy in omparison-dr drawn up to the level of the sovereign and crowned with full citizenship.

The man who thinks it no harm to
 break engag gements and keep people
 waiting on the anxious seat in vain
 for his appearance is not to be trust ed. Where is the prudent girl who
 would ever think it worth while to place confidence in that sort of man again? If a man has the least inter. est in a young woman. who regards him as pleasant acquaintance, and she invites him to call upon some par tieular evening when he has told her
 he was to be at leisure, if he respects his word he will take good care not to
 forfeit his welcome and esteem by
 breaking his word when he said, Thanks, will come.
 There is no surer, more certain test or mans true regard for her. You may set it down as an in3allible sign that the man who repeatedly breaks his word is not in love unless he has an excellent reason for finding it i'm possible to keep his appointment.
 When she watches and waits for him who comes not, having made many dainty costly preparations. the. least that he can do to prove that he is gentleman whose intentions are wor- thy is to send her a, telegram or write
 her a few lines of regret and expIan- ation, and send it by a, special mes senger within the hour in which she expected him. He is in honor bound

 Make excuses for his shortcomings as you will, the fact remains the same.
 The thought of seeing her soon again
 never gives him one extra heart beat or Joyous thrill of expectancy to look forward to. Tit may be the way he has been brought up,'' suggests the eager maiden who tries to keep him in the good graces Of her family, who
 are getting tired and sick of his diIa- tory manner. 'fHe has been reared among strangers for years since he lost his relatives.'' retorted an observ- ing aunt Outsiders require one
 among them to toe the mark; so why
 should he give us the cold shoulder. burn our gas nights waiting only to be disappointed, and laugh to think we
 believe him ?'' A mortified expression
 crosses the flushed features of the
 nqnpFussed girl. The gravest error which a young woman can commit against good judgment and her best
 future interests is to forgive and keep
 on forgiving a man of such doings.

 Confning the lesson Of today to the cutting of the waist, we first proceed by laying the g11impe material open so that the front and sleeve may be placed upon it. Both of these sections are laid on a 1engthwise thread Of the goods and the strap Is placed to the right of the front, just opposite the sleeve.
 Folding the materials, now place the back on the lengthw1se fold and fol- low the small Cos perforations in de- ternnining how deep the neck is to be rounded out
 It also requires an open width of the dress material to cut the outer front Use only enough of the goods to ac- cornnodate the length of the pattern; then fold the remaining piece to cut the back, being careful to lay this sec ton on the fold Of the vofle.
 Any two materials may be combined very effectively in this pattern, prov1d- ed they har1nonIze in color.
