chance to even think of wearying of
strawberries, introduce them to these later
arrivals. And now that you are squarely
in the middle of June. have an extra
thought for the growing heat. When a
Thoroughly substantial dinner is planned,
even though it is well supplied with

dessert light enough and with enough
cooling qualities to send the family off
refreshed.

the past and present accomplishments in
the way of municipal suffrage.
Maryland women seem to have had a
substantial hand in starting that ball on
its way. The Maryland legislature of
1900 granted to the taxpaying women OF
Annapolis the charter right of woman
suffrage.
Florida followed suit in 1915. when
equal municipal suffrage was granted in
Fellsmere, St Lucie county. Two years
later the same right was granted in sew
eral other charter towns of Florida
Aurantia and Cocoa, in Brevard county;
Delray and West Palm Beach, in Palm
Beach county: Moore Haven, in DeSoto
county: Leland and Orange City, in
Volusia county: Florence Villa, in Polk
equity, and Clearwater in Pinellas county.
Then. in April Of this year. Governor
Cats signed the Orlando Woman Suffrage
charter which gave municipal suffrage 10
the women of Orlando. in Orange county.
Women taxpayers, by virtue of their
large number, in Waycross, Ca, received
grant of suffrage in white primaries in
1917. This followed presentation Of
resolution by the Waycross city council TO
the representatives from Ware county,
OF which Waycross is the county seat.
The city democratic executive committee
OF Atlanta. Ca. granted white women TIE
right to vote at white primaries. May 5.
1919.
Another southern state has place here.
Lookout Mountain, Tenn. received mu-
nicipal suffrage for women by a 1hl
signed in April 1917. by Governor Thomas
C. Rye. The germ of this bill was the
open wish of the women there TO have 4
woman member Of the school board. This
brought about finally the first woman
suffrage bill ever brought up to a gov
eror of Tennessee to be ratified.
conjunction with presidential suffrage
municipal suffrage for women has bcas
granted by the legislature of North Da-
kota, Illinois and Nebraska. The legisla-
ture OF Vermont granted it to the women
of the state two years before IL granted
them presidential suffrage. In that state
women are voting at municipal elections
in all incorporated towns.
Ohio staged a variation. In three home
r1sIe cities. Columbus. Lakewood and East
Cleveland municipal suffrage for women
was gained by referendum to the voters
at the polls instead Of by the Legislature.
Under the new state constitution. these
cities can make their own charters.
