 Let me repeat" Mrs. McClung said, "in Canada we are not finding obSec- tions to suffrage measures at this time; what we are doing is to give our best efforts to doing something for our men who are at the front, and the Can- adian women are doing their bit bravely; they are very serious, but they are not moping; they are thoughtful, but not downcast they are nobly shoul- dering their burdens; they are working in munitions factories; they rare work ing in all sorts of industrial enterprises; they have not been asked to take the place of the men in the fields yet, be- cause the Austrian and German popu- lation has not been conscripted in Can ada, so these people are still at their labors; only in a few instances are women found in the fields. But the women of Canada cannot sit still and be idle 1t is no time to think; if we did we would perish. But we have all gotten together and adopted a demo- cratic spirit; we even knit and crochet and forgive each other for being Meth odists and Baptists."
 ''The scenes in Canada are heart breaking, Mrs. McClung continued, but the women bear it all bravely. 1 recall a little incident which to me was one of the most pathetic of the many I have witnessed.
 The men in their uniforms, hundreds of them all looked the same, at the station waiting for their trains to pull up. But the women with them, ah, how different each one looked Picture this scene with me: Two Ukrainian women with colored shawls over their heads are saying good-by to two of the best look ing young fellows in the crowd at the

 said quickly. .'You see,' the sweet faced
 woman began, T have given three boys 1 to the war-all I have they went and

 took her in his arms and cried: Ger tainly you can mother me, please do." The conductor rang the bell in a few
 minutes, but not before the newly found mother had made the boy promise to give in her name so she could get the
 cable when he got the D.. S. O., and
 then she could write to him every week

\ NE of the most absorbing depart- ments of the suffrage bazaar is
 the juvenile department. under

Ii ments of the suffrage bazar is the juvenile department, under the management of Mrs. Charles spen- cer. Its scope is so wide that it has been subdivided into several committees, the sales, the ehildren's party, the grab bag and the better baby show.
 MT. Spencer herself has charge of the sales assisted by Mrs. Lewis Under wood, who will take care of the details It would take columns and columns to describe the charms of the baby sweat CTS, dresses, caps, bibs, booties, afghans' aprons and other infant impedimenta which will appear in the juvenile de- partment. A brand new article is the kewpie coat hanger, painted by Miss Lucille Douglass.
 While there is nothing lacking to cover . child's exterior in the most approved way, his interior has not been over looked nor the development of his mind and soul. A model playground, with swings sewsaws and sandpile will be available to delight and stimulate the infant mind, while a scientific, proph- ylactic antiseptic" nurse will be in con- stant attendance to see that no germs nor Germans molest him while his mother attends the grown-up part of the bazar. There will be g. storytelling hour every afternoon except Wednesday, from 8 to 4, and mothers are encouraged to leave offspring to such edification as the playground, the stories and the nurse afford.
 There have already been 27 entrances for the better baby show, under the di- reotion of Mrs. Angus Taylor. If ex- perience is any teacher, surely the mother of six is a capable judge. In this baby show, however, the Judging will be done by committee of doctors and nurses, and all the measurements will be taken in most scientific fashion. There are six classes of infants, up to years, and there is an attractive prize for each class. All babies are cordially invited to enter and exhibit their good points A telephone call to Mrs. Taylor, Main 8620, and the payment of very small fee will secure a place in the con- test to the future President or presi- dentess of the United States.
 But the very head and front, as well as the hearts core of the juvenile de- pertinent will be the children's party. It will take place Wednesday afternoon at o'clock.
 Mrs. E. w. Barrett Is chairman, and is assisted by "a committee composed of Mrs. Felix Drennen, Mrs. John M. Cald- well, Mrs. Warner Shook, Mrs. Fred Be- vert and Mrs. Leo K. Steiner, with Mrs B. A. Peppernlan as chairman of the grabbag, and Miss Virginia Handley in charge of the music.
 Backward, turn backward, o Time. in your flight. Make me child again just for Wednesday afternoon! O, ice cream cones! o, popcorn wagonl o, peanut roaster! o, candy machinei o, dancesi O, spoonrace and contestsl O, wild ectasy! All this at the children's party, to which grown.up children are also invited.
 Yet this is but one of~the joys that await the happy child who comes to the children's party. Remember, it's in the Hillfnan noted ballroom, at o'clock Wednesday afternoon.
