The many Norwich friends of Mrs.
Leila Troland Gardner, vocalist of well
known ability, will be pleased to learn
that she is attaining distinct success as
a composer in New York musical cir
cles, where her works are gaining i'm
pOrtant recognition. Two Of Mrs.
Gardeners compositions were rendered
by Miss Julia Allen, the well known
prima donna soprano, for the first time
from manuscript at a recital in Aeolian
hall on Monday evening before a large
and distinguished audience who re-
ceived the songs enthusiastically.
Mrs. Gardner's waltz, Gardenia, has
been orchestrated and IS being played
at the present time by the leading or

trality, ii is interesting to note that
she receives at her studio teas Eng
lish, French, Italian, Spanish, japanese
and German artists, and the German
Heinebund society has re-engaged her
for its closing festival.

the separation. From the moment she had
vowed a bitter hate against that harsh and
perhdious Germany-against those accursed
Germans who had snatched her child away
from her. Her rancor fed on itself Having
no one to whom to confde her grief, her bitter
ness intensified itself to the point at which she
thought sometimes that her reason was shaken.

For that reason they did not put themselves

She paced the hovel, her lips tight and her

her that she heard grooming behind the door.
She listened; it was without doubt only an idea.
Her head was in a whirl from the bad news.
The grooming was renewed-this time louder
and longer. The She-Wolf stopped; with an
instructive movement she clasped her hands;

Yet every man mentioned for Presi-
dent or Vice-President possessed some
or all of these qualifications.
The suffrage plank was not the only
triumph at Chicago. The men in the
New York delegation who have been con-
spicuous in opposing suffrage in this
state have conspicuously declined in
power.
Before the convention Mr.. William
Barnes Gan anti-suffragist) was national
committeeman from this state; Mr..
Henry NJ Sage Can anti-suffragisD was
spoken of for Governor, and Mr. Elon K.
Brown Gan anti-suffragist) was spoken
of as United States Senator.
At the end of the convention Mr.. Her
bert Parsons "a suffragist) was elected
national committeeman; Governor Whit
man (suffragist) was assured of his re-
nomination, and a name suggested for
a senatorship was that of Mr.. Calder, of
Brooklyn, who had just said that if suf-
frage came up on the floor Of the conven-
ton he believed he would vote for it.
If it is good politics to put suffrage
plank in your platform to conciliate the
81 electoral votes of the suffrage states
is it wise to allow the chairman of your
resolutions committee to wink ostenta-
tiously, while reading the plank, as an
