Whereas, Universal suffrage is

Necessary instructions have been
received from Washington by those
who are interested in the organiza-
ton of Tallahassee's Red Cross chap
ter, so that the real work of organ
ization may now go ahead as soon
as Mayor Lowery returns from
Houston, Texas, where he has gone
with the convention car sent by the
Tallahassee Boosters this week. This
delay, which is regretted, will not
leave the formal organization later
than the first week in May, however,
and it is hoped that the 4th day of
May will find all things propitious
for beginning the great work which
is to place Tallahassee side by side
with other important centers now al
ready engaged in the Red Cross ac-
tivities.
Tallahassee now has over 700
members, and with nearly four hun
bred dollars in the treasury, which
is considered a splendid beginning
as one-half of the money obtained,
of course, was sent to Washington.
Just as many men are interested
in the Tallahassee Red Cross move
ment as women, and when this ener-
getic body of earnest workers be-
comes an organization ia reality
great results may be expected. Real
izing, too, that Tallahassee is stu
ated in an important point, nearly
half way between the Pensacola and
Jacksonville chapters, and also pre-
sents a base for a large and import
ant section of country, those promi-
nent in the movement will bend theil
energies toward making the ITALIA
hassee chapter one in which not only
the Capital City may take pride, bu
one which will attract attention
throughout the state. Many of tn,
important state officials are enrolled
which, too, will give the local chap

deal of good advice at the time
when it is needed, and will also Civ,

One of the charming Inequalities
Of the week was the Five Hundred

entertaining for the members of her

entertained at her home on Gonzalez

We're bright with profusion of gar

being carried out in pink and white.

seven tables at play, and at the con-
clusion of the game very pretty
ice course was served, consisting Of

Besides the members of the club,

has been a missionary to China, has
worked lin the slums of New York,
and is thoroughly posted in the work
of retaining the fallen. From Tai
lahassee she will go to Atlanta, Ga,
and will spend several weeks at the
Georgia capital upon the same mis-
sion which brings her to Tallahassee,
that of arousing interest in coun-
try-wide movement directed toward
the better social conditions of fami-
lies. She does not lecture in public,
and depends more upon her own per-
sonality to bring her work home to
the people whom she would interest.
Plans are under way for a large
children's pageant, which is to be a
feature of the. Lincoln Chautauqua,
and which will be given under the
direction of Miss Conklin, of Chicago.
The children of Tallahassee are to be
given most efficient training, and the
entertainment will be given some
time during Chautauqua week.
Tallahassee is immensely inter
ested just now in it's Chautauqua
venture, which was inaugurated by
the members of the Boosters Club,
and further aided by the members
of the Women's Club.
Commencing next week, on Mon
day, April 30th, the Lincoln Chau-
| tauqua will be an interesting feature
at the Capital City until May 4th,
and it is calculated by those of the
Boosters who personally guaranteed
| the financial end of the proposition
that the legislature and Tallahassee's
many visitors at this time of year
! will welcome diversion of this kind,
| especially as there is no way to Of
fer them public entertain excepting
| through the medium OF Tallahassee's
one picture show.
On the first day at $50 o'clock,

will be held for the benefit of the
young people at this hour during the
| entire session, will have its get-to-
| gether meeting, when everyone will
be made acquainted. This youths
