 Havana, or San Cristobal de la Ha- bana, as it was originally named, was the last of seven cities founded in Cuba by the islands conqueror, the Adelan- tado Diego Velasquez, the date being July 25, 1515. Since that was twenty three years after Columbus discovery there cannot be many new world cities older than Havana, assuming that most of the other six in Cuba have since disappeared.

WOMAN'S PARTY SOON

Confident that Suffrage Amendment
Will Pass This Winter.

The suffrage amendment viii pass

fed by February ]. 1870. is the view Of
National Woman's Party leaders. who
have taken only n two-year lease on
their new headquarters at IL jackson
place.
The suffrage forces Will move into
their new headquarters Fc. ruary 7.
when the lease of the present occu-
pant. the Homo Club. expires.
The rent for the next two years has
already been raised by Mrs. William
Kent of Kentfield. Cal. and her COM
mite, of 200 for the maintenance of
national headquarters.
Miss Alice Paul and her co-workers
will direct the ratification campaign
from the Washington headquarters.
as for the past FIVE years they have
directed the campaign In Congress.
Thirty-six State legislatures must
ratify the suffrage amendment after
it passes Congress before It will be-
come effective.
When Alice Paul first came to
Washington and organized the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
ito secure an amendment to the
United States Constitution enfranchIs-
ing women" she opened headquarters
in a little basement room at 1920 +
street. The organization soon out

one to love her and a strong arm on
which to lean. Therefore, the psy-
Geological moment in which to propose
to a woman is when she is weepy;
never when she is laughing and gay.
There are plenty of men who have
so little appreciation of how women
react to the hour and the place that
they actually choose a crown in which
to pop the question. They will do 1t
over mutton chop at midday in a
crowded restaurant, with waiter
and a bus boy lowering in ear shot,
and yet expect a woman TO say yes"
Nothing but the feeling that such
proposal is absolutely the last call
to the dining car can induce a woman
to marry a man who offers her fried
potatoes with one hand and a heart
with the other and who interprets
the recital of his deathless devotion
by recommending the salad dressing.
or course. such a man may be too
good a thing to refuse. The woman
may love him so well that she would
rather take him at any price than
lose him. but she never thinks of his
proposal without feeling that she has
been cheated out of the finest flavor
Of rapture that she would ever have
known. Think OF having TO wait for
the first kiss until 1t has grown as
fiat as a glass of stale beer or a cold
omelet souffle.
1t may be said in favor Of such a
proposal that its very lack of senti-
ment and romance makes 1t sane and
safe. Any woman who says 'yes :
when man pops the question on a
crowded street at II p. m. knows
what she's about. So does the man.
1t is a business proposition made to
stand. whereas the man who pro-
poses to a girl at a ball. when the
music is sobbing in the distance and
the air is electric with romance, may
or may not mean all he says. Any
man will make love under such cir
cumstances, and any woman will say
yes" which explains why evening

VELVET AND SATIN.

Black satin and black velvet are much
In favor. and SO are brown velvet and
gray satin.
The black satin coat trimmed with

woman in Paris possess and for this
reason it is as well to get something
else.
Black velvet is not yet so popular.
but it may well be so in a few weeks

see some very beautiful coats in diff

gray velvet for gray. both in satin
and velvet, Is one of the colors that
can be guarded from too great a popu-
larity.
Gray in inexpensive materials is
quite another thing from gray in ma
terials that are expensive. and the
big houses know how to keep both
gray and brown in all their many
shades from becoming common.

This case came up before Judge
Watts some time ago. but action was
postponed in the hope that they
would be able to reconcile their DIFF

such quiet was not to be, and when
