remarkable has been the response of these
players to training, and so accurate is their
Nhowiedge OF location and distance, that
they move freely about the stage without

The Oasis, Newest Woman's Club. Offers
A Haven to Out-of-Town Shoppers ).

New York is indebted for The Oasis,
its latest woman's club, to the fact that
the kinswoman Of former President of
the United States once got lost in Paris.
Miss Helen Tyler, founder and president
of The Oasis, is the woman, and the men,
ory of her experience is still embarrassing

Miss Tyler said. "Once there, / started

"A place, indeed, where one could get

several people who felt the same way about

New York with their time limited, can find

The club occupies two sunny rooms on

Concrete legislative problems are to be-
set before the woman voters; also the rec
ord of suffrage victories, and a project for
coalition of all women citizens, voters and
voters, in the last pull for nationwide
suffrage, will have an important place on
the programme. An innovation for the del
cgates is a series of working conferences
on Wednesday evening. An aftermath of
work comes in the review of suffrage
war activities on Tuesday afternoon.
Most interesting, perhaps, will be the
Developments regarding the proposal to
merge the National American Woman Suf-
frage Association into National Union Of
Women Citizens, non-sectarian and nom
partisan, to include the women of the vot-
ing states as House Of Women Voters
and the women Of the non-voting states as
a House Of Women Citizens.
Espoused by Women Of Wealth
A statement issued by the national as
sociation tells how suffrage was gradually
espoused by women of wealth and fashion.
National suffrage lived, moved and had
its being in conventions during the mid
Victorian days OF its career" says the
statement "Conventons were the only
chance Of publicity in those days. They
were to 1869 and 1870 what parades were
to 1912 and 1918. And no one got ahead
of Susan B. Anthony on long-headed prof.
ects for the advancement Of women's
rights. If she wanted to gain the ear of
political convention she moved the suf-
frage cause to it's doors. After conquering
society in Saratoga and Newport, the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage Association estab-
lished headquarters at 40 East Twenty
third Street, in the Woman's Bureau.
"This bureaus existence was due to Mrs.
Elizabeth 3. Phelps. 1t was her intention
to make the bureau permanent home for
freedom loving interests. But not enough
persons of wealth were like minded, so it
served its day and passed on.
Help From White House
"In 1881, when the Thirteenth National
Woman Suffrage Convention met in Wash
ington, Mrs. Rutherford B. Hayes and her
guests from the White House, members of
the Supreme Court and of Congress, were
in the audience. On Susan B. Anthony's
birthday Mrs. Ulysses s. Grant gave a
helping hand. Later came a moment when
the beau monde,' even New York's Four
Hundred. entered the suffrage cause. This
was in 1894, when committee Of women,
headed by Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell and
Mrs. Joseph H. Choate, called meeting at
Sherry's to sign a petition to strike from
the New York State constitution the word
male

the Union meet for the jubilee convention,
fashion. wealth, social prestige, beauty and
wit will be found in evidence along with
