EUDORA

EUDORA was transplanted direct
IL, from ancient Greece. where the
word for happy gift became a
feminine proper name and was given
much vogue among Greek damsels.
Its quaint sound, as well as its pleas
ing significance. brought il TO French
romance as Eudore.
But the first Eudora and the one
whom our adoption Of the name com
mem0rates. was one OF the Nereids Of
Greek mythology. Like Amphitrite,
Thetis and Galatea. she was the best
known Of the sea nymphs. According
TO mythology. the Nereids. fifty or a
hundred in number. were the daugh-
tiers OF Nereus and Doris, and were
attendants upon Poseidon. god OF the
sea They were represented as hav-
ing entire human form Fand riding
upon sea horses or other sea monsters
Another form OF the name-Eudoria
was much used by Greek empress

nALLAs. Tex June 5--One OF me
most interesting features OF the
1920 Democratic state convention
here was the caucus OF the 200 Wo-
men delegates II was the first big
political meeting for women only In
Texas. and was called TO name four
women delegates at large 20 the ma
tioual Democratic convention Har-
mony was the announced watchWord
OF the caucus, but the hot sun and
heat OF politics brought the meeting
10 the boiling point
In the end the four women were
named and with u men were elected
by the state convention. with one
fourth vote each, 10 cast the Texas
four delegate at large votes as a
unit at san Francisco Thirty-siZ
delegates. with one vote each, also
were elected. making the states 80
convention ballots.
The caucus was exciting from the
very start Madam. chairman" eN-
claimed a delegate after the meeting

the prearrnnEed slate
Immediately three women were on
their feet eulogizinE their choice for
delegate at large. Then several ad-
dresses were delivered simultaneously
in favor Of one candidate. This was
followed by a confusing debate over
one OF the candidates
Madam chairman shouted Wo-
man from Beaumont. IF we cannot
agree on all four candidate. let's
agree on the first three names. and
attend 20 the other later
I'VE viii vote on her (the Beau

woman said; but first let me add the
name Of another candidate. and we
viii vote on all Of them"
The ayes Have II.
Scores Of voices cried question,
question" and a vote was taken on
the previous question The ayes
won and then Il apparently daWned
upon the delegates that no one knew
what the previous question" was
A delegate demanded that all the
candidates come forward and lineup
so the caucus will know how TO
up, but six women began to speak
at the same time and the exhibition"
was not taken seriously Then came
cries Of I'VE want six delegates
what right have the men TO limit our
number" A small. motherly looking
woman waved her umbrella until the
attention OF the chair was attracted.
Above the hum OF voices she de-
clared the women ought to be sat
isfied with what the men gave them
Only five percent OF the women have
paid their poll tax and We don't de-
serve more than four delegates"
Out OF the confusion another
