AS seen BY A WASHINGTON WOMAN

afternoons the union was a popular
rendezvous, where the suffrage talks
were only bit more excellent than
the tea.
With the extension of the activities
of the union, more offices were leased
until, finally, there were suffragists on
every floor of the F street building.
Then question of executive expedi-
Iency arose, and the union, once a
branch of the National Association,
became an independent organization
in pursuance of definite political
policy, and spread its chain of activi-
! ties across the continent. The indi-
vidual who has not heard of the Con-
Hgressional Union is beyond the reach
of newspapers or railroads, and the
lawmaker who has never met union
organizer in his pet political territory
had best Touch wood when he boasts.
In January, 1913, the membership
of the union was mere handful, but
today it is 10000 strong. At the ma
tional convention held in Washington
last month delegates came from sub
ordinate branches in practically every
State, and the historic old Cameron
House was requisitioned to accommo-
date the enormous executive sessions.
The charm of the old mansion ap-
pealed so strongly to the unionists
that it was retained as a permanent
headquarters.
Society women, distinguished states.
men, prominent members of the
world of art and letters called there
yesterday to pay their respects to the
"three-year-old" and sip cup of tea
in drawing room gay with flowers
where an open FIRE burned brightly on
the hearth. And, incidentally, the
charming atmosphere of hospitality
routed the convictions of the most
skeptical that suffrage can be de-
structive to home ideals.

THE THIRD ANNIVERSARY.

Yesterday the Congressional Union
celebrated the third anniversary of
its formation with reception at the
newly established national headquar-
ters on Lafayette square. 1t recalled
to the scores of folk who visited the
Cameron House during the afternoon
how phenomenal is the growth of that
little organization which had its un-
DESTINATIONS beginning in January,
1913, just three years ago.
/ Washington had known suffrage
clubs since the early days of Susan
B. Anthony, but they were inclined to
be nice, quiet, societies, with the hap
py faculty of keeping out of trouble
and hence not specially active. The
first evidence of an aggressive and
politically alive suffrage organization
came in the days just preceding the
Inauguration of President Wilson,
when the Congressional Union was
mainly responsible for the staging
VI lhdl hidshihSShtiy spSNNdSuidi
pageant and parade which preceded
the inaugural ceremonies of 1913.
The union headquarters, at that
time, was just basement shop in
I4I6 F street, fitted up for temporary
occupancy, but it swarmedwith in
augursl visitors, suffrage sympa-
thizers, ready converts, and idly
curious. The idea of an outward and
visible sign of the growing activity Of
suffrage organizations took the suf-
| fragists of the Capital by storm, and
when the out-of-town women had de-
parted, there were scores of Washing
ton volunteers to keep the good work
going. The basement shop rooms
were rapidly converted into present
able club suite, with burlap and crisp
curtains and the unconquerable femi-
nine touch. A tea set was contribut-
ed, in suffrage yellow, and on Sunday

FAMOUS WOMAN, HER
BIRTHDAY AND YOURS
January 31-Mrs. Priscilla Bell Wake
field, Miss Harriet Parr
BY MARY MARSHALL


Two women writers grace January 81
as birthday patronesses-Mrs. Priscilla
Bell Wakefield and Miss Harriet Parr.
Both are English
Mrs. Wakefield was born In 1751 at Tot
tenham, of a family of Quakers, and
although she was a Quaker throughout
life, she never conformed to the simple
Quaker dress, and she did not deny her
self amusements as rigidly as most Qua
kers did.
Almost the first savings bank in exist
ence was one founded by Mrs. Wakefield.
She called 1t a frugality bank, and did
much to establish these places for saving
money in England. However, she is best
known as writer of books for children.
Her first, Juvenile Anecdotes" reached
eight editions. Another, about an i'm
aginary tour through England. reached
nineteen editions. She also wrote books
on botany and natural history. Eliza
beth Fry, the great prison reformer, was
her niece.
Harriet Parr was born in York in 1898,
four years before the death of Mrs.
Wakefield. Her first novel did not re-
ceive much attention, so she sent the
manuscript for her second, gilbert Mas
singer" to Charles Dickens, Whose opin-
ion she naturally judged very highly. He
was much impressed with 1t, and II was
through his announcement that she de-
cided to keep on writing novels. Gill
bert Massinger" was very successful and
was translated into Italian, and Thor
ney Hail." another successful novel. was
translated into French. Between 1854,
when she began TO publish her novels,
and her death in 1ss2. she produced some
thirty novels.

Seeley on the ground OF offside plays,

Andy Of the institute also made a
touchdown after seventy-five-yard
run, but Umpire Benjamin's whistle
had blown before the play started,
and Andy was called back and his
team penalized for holding.
The game was foungt on old-fash-
toned lines almost throughout, The
deaf team was the lighter and faster,
and when the players settled down to
real foot ball they showed class. Andy
made a long run of seventy-five yards
and two long forward passes netted
twenty yards each. Bellevue's best
play was the nut shift" with the ends
carrying the ball. P. Picotte and
Williams made gains of from ten to
fifteen yards almost every time on
this play. Both teams plugged the
line most of the time, however.
Neither team did much punting.
Fierce tackling was the rule. The
