THE SUFFRAGETTE CONVEN.
TION.

The weather man called off his
showers and hail stones Thursday ev.
ening long enough for every body to
attend the convention of suffragettes
at the armory. The members of the
convention marched in through the
central aisle and created sensations
many but not so various. There
were only two men in the show, Mr.
James H. Groves, looking like Mr.
Micawber, and Mr.. Goodson in his
policeman's uniform.
The stage had two immense red
signs on the wall with "Votes for
Women" in white letters. A speak
ers table was in the center and chairs
were all about. Mrs. Charlie North
cutt was at the piano on corner of
the stage and played accompaniment
for the songs.
The first scene showed Misses Vir-
ginia Crosby, Edna Schilling and
Lillian Teipel, as a reception com
mittee, arranging pink roses on the
table and discussing the coming lee
turer, Mrs. Hightower Overman, who
proved to be Miss Lillian Boatner.
Misses Evelyn Clay and Mary Ell
len Law were the advertising COM
mittee and Miss Clay also read an es-
say on Political Economy which was
written on a real scroll of paper
thickly adorned with bows of pink
ribbon and was very funny and sur
prising
Miss Mabel Cortelyou presided and
welded the gavel vigorously. She
wore plain black coat suit with a
white vest and white hat and a.
chieved quite manly effect. Mrs.
Cochran as DR.. Mercedes Osteopath
was in a black coat suit and perhaps
intended to appear masculine in
spite of voice and size. All the
others were very feminine if not
fluffy. Miss Katherine Coryell as
black Dinah the nurse, with a big
doll in a baby carriage, was
extremely funny, and darky-like. She
sang "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" as
lullaby to the baby Mrs. Ida Sim
mons in a girlish costume of

quettish bonnet, was a maiden lady
with designs upon the deacon. Miss
Jennie Maude Murray was her cri-
teal foe.
Mrs. Henry Wyatt, Jr., was one
of the very few allowed to wear pret-
ty clothes and was bride absorbed
in her willie" She was very pref
ty in dark blue silk with hat to
match.
Mrs. Frank Hardeman, as Mrs.
Highstep with two children, Eliza
beth Northcutt and William Black.
was quite stylish, wore a white fur
cape and had airs to suit her clothes.
Miss linda Harrison, although a
widow, was dressed in blue silk,
made long ago, and a white bonnet
covered and lined with red roses.
Her little daughter, Viney, Charlotte
Northcutt, recited boys opinion of

SECRETARY LANES
ADVICE TO LADIES

There are millions of women anx-
ious to do their part and show their
patriotism in this hour of their coun-
try's need.
Recently the General Federation
of women's Clubs asked Secretary
Franklin K. Lane, who is a Califor-
man, to advise them what to do to
make themselves most useful at this
Juncture to their country. Secreta-
ry Lane is a practical man and a
very able one, the strongest member
of the cabinet, and clear-headed
statesman, free from gush or senti-
mentality. He said to the women's
clubs:
THE women of America can do
no greater work at this time than to
raise their own vegetables, can their
own fruit, prevent waste in their
homes and give impulses and enthu-
slasm to the men of the land If they
do this they will be doing a good SO
per cent of the work of fighting the
war to a finish"

funny.
Miss katharyn Dykers, as Mrs
Trouble-hunter, with Mary Sue Potts
and James Groves, Jr., as her chill
dren was a star performer. This
trio made feature of the conven-
ton, the daughter playing her part
well and singing melancholy song.
Her brother was busy member of
the show. Mrs. Ernest Robertson
and Miss Louise Schilling were both
preachers wives. Miss Mary Nell
wore black hat so enormous il
seemed incredible, in this day of
tiny headgear, that it was the height
of style so recently.
Mrs. D. c.. Cole was an aristoerat
In a white dress with a>train, a black
cape and "demure" bonnet. She
did not enter into the spirit of the
meeting at all but candidly express
ed her disapproval of the proceedings
and praised the ways of old fashion,
ed women who were contented to be
domestic.
Another pleasant diversion from
the strenuous proceedings of the
suffrage sisters was Miss Virginia
Crosby's singing Little Grey Home
in the West.
Miss Ri Aston was lame and car
rled a cane, Misses Selma Cooper
and Carrie Boatner were twins, Miss
Mary Lizzie Benson was a strong
minded wife and mother who 'laid
down the law" (by messenger boy)
to her husband.
Other members of the cast were
Mrs. E. L. Stringer, Mrs. j. R. Brum-
by, Jr., Miss Daisy White and Miss
Margaret Cooper.

GOOD EXAMPLES TO FOLLOW

Mrs. Wilson Woodrow writes:
ga little group of women in the
highest official circles, including the
wife of the President, have set an ex-
ample of frugality and simplicity
which all women should feel it obliga-
tory to follow. They have pledged
themselves to give no elaborate en-
tertainments; only plain food will be
served at their tables; and their
clothes will be marked by an extreme
simplicity.
Now it must be obvious to every
one that there are even deeper rea-
sons for this than the fact that the
hour has come for US to husband our
vast national resources We as a
country have not so far suffered be-
cause of the war except in a compar-
atively few individual cases; but
since millions of people are living
through the greatest horror possible,
it shows coarseness of fiber, a cal
lous insensibility to that mighty
agony for US to flaunt the purple. and
pride of our wealth and extrava-
gance.
With half the world house of
mourning, we should at least show
our sympathy and respect for the
war-scarred souls of millions by low
ering voices in measure at least"
