THE women lawyers Of the United
States are. many Of them,
L strong for Hughes. but they
don't dress dolls to elect him. That is
the real reason at the bottom OF the

So when the news was published that
Miss Alice Carpenter and the other
members OF the City Committee OF the
Hughes Alliance were about to open
Hughes campaign shops in which, in
addition to Hughes speeches and
Hughes literature and buttons. there
would be sold perfume and sachet pow
der and also dolls dressed by Rcpubli-
can women. tho women lawyers COM
mittee gave up instantly its half
formed intention Of Joining with the
workers at I'll Fifth avenue.

tions." said Mrs. Gabriel In her COM
mandlng voice. but dress dolls!"--
She looked at tho forehnger Of her
left hand. innocent OF needle marks,
and shook her head. ..'. .. ,..
So the women lawyers committee,
which has about two hundred members,
is having meetings of its local branches
and planning a campaign on quite df-
ferent lines. Each OF the two hundred
members has pledged herself to get
twenty-five women lawyers interested,
and those who can orate-and what
woman lawyer cant?-will give some
time to spcllbinding when the cam
paign opens in earnest.
But Alice Carpenter and her CO.
workers. In nowise cast down by this

Il was said that n nice little sum was
realized to put into the Hughes cam
