I just ambled up to suffrage headquar-
tiers to see what was doing around that
unusually busy place and to imbibe a
little of that very interesting atmos-
phere that pervades the Cable hall. A
number Of we'll known women who are
members of the suffrage association have
returned from Atlantic City, where they
attended the suffrage convention, and
give most glowing account of the trip
AS 1 stepped out of the suffrage head
quarters I noticed an open door opposite
and through the tiny crack I got peep
into one of the most attractive looking
studios, and, you know me. couldn't re-
sist the temptation to push the door a
| little further open and when did, whom
do you think I saw-Mrs. Clara Harper
Steele-looking all fresh and interested
and interesting. / certainly was sur
prised, as 1 didn't know that Mrs. Steele
had returned from her western trip. She
and l had quite chat She said: II had
most wonderful trip and time" AS l
sat and talked to Mrs. Steele 1 coudn' t
help but think how the musical world Of
Birmingham had developed in the last
| few years Mrs. Steele is one of the re-
| cent acquisitions which have come to
make a real musical Birmingham"
She spoke of visiting here once and
| that she liked it so well that she decided
| to stay and she said: DO you know, 1
, have liked it better every single day since
| have been here. l only stayed a few
| minutes, but when I left felt that my
esthetic taste had really received quite
boost from the short visit.
