woman has done her share in con-
tributing citizens to the state. The
average number Of children ranges
from three to six. One proud mother
on the East Side has three little
ones all under ten years of age. Yet
she manages to put them to bed an
hour earlier the night of the weekly
district meeting.
Many professional women are
among the leaders. Some of the
women were chosen because Of their
previous experience in political
fields, either in working for suffrage
or for some piece of legislation. A
few Of the leaders declare politics
is mystery to them and that their
election came as complete surprise.
They were presumably chosen be-
cause of their personal popularity.

THE women of the Seventeenth
District showed their sagacity

TIME women of the Seventeenth
District showed their sagacity
in recognizing Mrs. Paul's quail
ifcations for leadership. Her charm
ing personality and executive ability
impress all who come in contact with
her. Past Pocahontas Of the Imperial
Order of Red Men, she has been pres-
dent of the Caroline Aid Society for
seven years. Before her marriage she
was Sara Straus, private secretary to
Ferdinand Sulzberger and Joseph B.
Bloomingdale. Handsome, attractive,
efficient, she believes home life and
politics can be successfully combined
Mrs. Paul has had much experience
as presiding officer Of charitable and
social organizations in her district and
she has taken control of political af-
fairs with firm hand.
II have never permitted my children
to claim my time to the exclusion Of
the larger interests of the commu-
nifty" she said. "At present nv SON
is nineteen and very we'll able to look
after himself. My little girl is onlv
ten, but have always had a nurse to
take care Of her. For many years we
have boarded, which has also helped
to relieve me Of household duties.
Women can be of invaluable service
to the nation and this state in many
respects. They can preach patriotism
They can aid the government by ex-
planning the necessity of eating little
meat and whea' while on the other
hand increasing the consumption of
potatoes and vegetables.
women can also be of great assist
ance in reporting all cases of need
and sickness in the district, all dis
orderly places and undesirable charac-
ters."

NT1ss FAY was driven into suf-
V frage because of the injustice
done to women in the matter
of salaries. Her indignation knew no
bounds when having been an honor
graduate from Teachers College and
valedictorian Of her class she was ex-
pected to be content with half the sal
ary received by male teachers. Her
injury seemed the greater because her
preparation for her work had been un-
usually thorough, for she had taken
special courses at Harvard in English
and the classics.
while / was the principal of
New Jersey school I became suf-
fragist," said this majestic, white,
haired woman with strikingly youth
full face and general air of efficiency.
"For years was leader of the district.
That is why the women's vote elected
me to my present position.
"Women's entrance into politics will
bring them equal recognition in war
work alone. For instance, Red Cross
nurses who do the same work and
brave the same dangers as men should
receive the same pay, and it's up to
women to see that they get it.
women should understand the fac
tory laws, laws affecting women and
children and laws governing corpora
tions. Women should see to it that
men and women Of broad and liberal
views and big minds are elected as
representatives. We will be called
upon to elect . Governor. He should
be man of humane instincts, man
who will study the needs Of the masses
and be actuated always by a purpose
to bring the greatest good to the great
est number.

Not one, however, has been known
to decline the honor, so it may be
supposed that women are taking to

However different the aims and
interests in private life of the Tam

mon to all-that is, the proper way
for woman to dress. One and all,
their costumes for the street or
house are simple. practical and in

the leaders undoubtedly possess silk
stockings-perhaps most of them do.
But they evidently keep them for
Sundays and holidays. Certain it is
that they do not canvass their dis
tricts or look after their housework
in garments of frivolity.

II probably inspired Mrs. Hastings
with desire to do all in her
power for the welfare of children in
general. A widow, several times a
grandmother, she is white-haired,
'weet faced and dignified. She it was
who organized the first Child Study
Club in the United States and the
William Lloyd Garrison Equal Rights
Association. Pioneer suffrage work
and much public speaking have left
aer none the less feminine.
Sometimes I see my name written
Mrs. Ella Hastings but was happily
married and I'm not that kind of a
suffragist," she said. "Tammany Hall

see. Still, my household duties have
never prevented me from doing active
work in the larger interests of the

the sooner be remedied she urges the
necessity of immediate organization
for the women who expect to be active

accomplish this that she is adding
political duties to her burdens.

of licenses and an experienced trained
nurse. Next autumn she will turn her
attention to what lies nearest her
heart and go over to do her bit for the

is no doubt Of her competence, many
a wounded soldier will be comforted
by her sympathetic smile.
AS child, in the wilds of Putnam

her fathers impassioned defence of

lage trustee, the o4ly Democrat in a
Republican county. His eloquence was
convincing and bore fruit, for his
daughter is now following in his foot
steps.
Miss Murphy first declined the lead
ership, but only because her heart
ached to be cover there" However,
she hated to miss her chance of carry
ing on the traditions of her family and
she was easily persuaded to do her
part in politics for the few months
that remain before her departure.
Owing to the delay in her decision she
is just beginning to feel as if she were
really elected.
"My days are taken up with my
work" she said. "This leaves my
evenings free for politics. But nv

first to organize her district. Soon
after the big victory the women's
rooms at the club of the district were

to stand in the receiving line. She has
the combined charm of pretty South

trait. To be interested in politics is
nothing new to her. Besides being
honorary president of Washington's
Headquarters, charter member of the

Home and vice-president of the Coun-
ell of Jewish Women, she is member
Of many hospital boards and charitable
institutions.
