The Congressional union and the
Woman's party have been living peace
fully and quietly for some time IN
fact they have scarcely been heard OF
here since the Chicago convention
They are an energetic aggregation of
women, and if they retire from the
scene of conflict for little while, it is
to rest themselves and take a long
breath, preparatory to renewing the
struggle. Miss Alice Paul, one OF their
leaders is again heard from, and this
time she declares that there is no
doubt that the Woman's party organ
lied last June, and consisting of many
women voters from the twelve suf-
frage states. will turn the tide in the
coming presidential election. Miss
Paul, chairman of the Congressional
union, has gone to New York from
Washington, to aid in the arrange
ments for the women's convention.
She continues: People do not
realize this because they never thought
of it, but it is undoubtedly true now
that the Republican party is out of
existence. The Progressives have been
able to turn the balance of power, and
have thus been enabled to demand
what they desire and OF get it. Now,
the Woman's party can throw that
power, and when people realize that
we are president makers, we will be
able to put through the federal suf-
frage amendment"
The national Woman's party work
ference, call for which has just been
issued. 1t will be held in Colorado
Springs August 10, II and r.
Its action" Miss Paul says, will
depend on what the Democratic party
will do for the women or what Hughes
will promise to do, or what the Social
list or Progressive parties will do We
certainly will not stand for anyone
who is against us and the federal suf-
frage amendment"

season, in the Guild parlors. AS a
part of the product of the years work
of the girls and women of the order.
they have put out a little book that
they call Good Things to Eat" It
contains tested recipes that have been
carefully collected not only from the
members of the chapter but from
many others who are considered eff
nclent cooks. The book is attractively
bound in the new black and white
combination. 1t is quite the denier cri
in cook books, no less artistic in make
up than it is useful in contents.

The women folks, they say, have
devised a way of passing along
friendly hint to other women they
meet downtown. For instance,
woman will sometimes go down on
the street with a thin skirt and maybe
one petticoat shy. A friend meets
her, and she gives her this signal. TX
o. o. l." This does not mean a new
way of spelling COOL but it signifies
keep out of the light"
