 Two Important Thinas.
 Two things struck women a hundred years ago. The first of these was democracy. Men said. we will do away with the class system. When men in- that no woman, whatever her position or however brilliant, might serve the public In any great official capacity.
 The second thing was the invention Of machinery. This divided women ported at home by their husbands or fathers and the women who had to go out and work for living. The women in industry s,ooo.00o in this country, found themselves working for total strangers. With all the advantages democracy and machinery brought to the world. these two great inventions did alter the position of woman.
 Equality of Opportunity.

 What was the second stage of the woman's movement? These women who were educated had to make liv- ing. They didn't all want to teach they didn't all want to be underpaid companions of elderly women with pe- culiarities and parrots. They asked 1 for equality of opportunity to make g 1 living.

 mand for equality of status in the | home, as between husband and wife i They demanded the married woman's
 act and the equal guardianship law. Her One Prophecy. As her one prophecy Mrs. Hale said: We will have no anti-suffrage body either of men or women, in the state oi Connecticut after women get the vote

 the home is not in danger and the. | will go on arm in arm to defend tht | home against some new innovation. We don't argue with our anti friends; WI
 endorse them, for they advertise oul cause. They look to the precedent
 we look to the future. They are inter.

  | Mans work is the creation and con. summation of wealth. Womans worl | is the creation of life itself. Mrs Hale then quoted statistics whicl | showed that in the countries where
 women have public responsibilities
 they do not neglect their private re. | responsibilities in the home. It is only { by being given responsibility that yol learn how to use it, she said. There isn't a woman's trade organ | ization in the country that opposes woman suffrage. The women who op- pose woman suffrage as burdeI thrust upon their unwilling shoulders are the women who have never borne ( | burden in their lives.
 In conclusion, Mrs. Hale said WI l believe that women have now earned | the right to vote. We don't think tha ! when woman gets the vote she vii
 suddenly make life perfect, but we dC I believe she will help.
