WOMEN LUNCH IN
HONOR OF EQUAL
SUFFRAGE ACT
Meeting Of 100 at Hotel
Blackstone Preliminary to
Large Gathering in
the Fall.

In the Oriental room on the roof
garden of Hotel Blackstone about
100 women gathered for luncheon
Saturday under the auspices of the
Equal Franchise society to evidence
their satisfaction in the recent pas
sage by congress Of the federal suf-
frage amendment. Invitations to
the luncheon were sent to members
Of the society, who were privileged
to bring friends. Miss Josephine
Congdon was chairman Of courte-
sizes.
Mrs. c. E. Johannes, president,
says the luncheon was designed to
be preliminary to 1 large gathering
in the fall, when an organization
will be perfected for the purpose Of
instructing the new electorate.
Resembled Prayer Meeting.
Except for the delectable and
well-served luncheon, the tables
gaily decorated with golden core
opsis--the suffrage color-and the
absence of an occasional amen"
the gathering resembled an old-time
Methodist prayer meeting. There
were testimonials, admonitions, good
resolves and close communion Of
spirit. Mrs. Guy Kiddoo, toast
mistress, took as her text, "The Re-
sponsibility of the Young Women Of
Today Toward the Next Genera
tion," saying that the older women
who have worked increasingly, and
with final success, for equal SUI
frage have given that heritage to
women who would otherwise spend
their lives in an endeavor to win it.
Having made such definite gain, it
is for the young woman of today
to hold high the torch which lights
the path to further progress" she
said.
Tells of Long Struggle.
Mrs. Halleck Rose pictured vivid
Ny for her hearers the 50 years Of
struggle leading up to the insertion
of one three-lettered word, "sex,"
in tho 18th amendment to our fed
eral constitution. Mrs. A. w. JET
ferris, wife of the congressman from
this district, said she was glad her
husband had been afforded the op-
portunity to vote in favor of this
epochal measure. Mrs. c. c. Bel
den emphasized the need for coritIn-
ued activity, and Mrs. Philip Pot
ter paid tribute to the national and
state workers who have been indie
fatigable in their efforts to make
equal suffrage a realization.
Other speakers were Mr.. and
Mrs. c. S. Stebbins. Mrs. Z. T.
Lindsay, Mrs. J. NJ. Metcalfe, Mrs.
E. G. McGilton, Mrs. E. H. Cole
and Mrs. Morrison, who read from
a "Declaration of Sentiment" drawn
up II years ago at the Seneca Fails,
N. Y, convention in the interest
of equal suffrage-the first such
convention held, among whose ear
nest workers was William Lloyd
Garrison, the famous abolitionist.
