Cost Of Suffrage Activity.

Total expenditures amounting to
$685., 2O8.42, covering the outlay Of the
National Woman's party for the last
seven years Of the fight for suffrage,
are detailed in report submitted re-
Gently by Miss Alice Paul, chairman
Of the executive committee. This sum
does not include the cost of protect

ratification.
Funds for the latter expenditure,
according to the report, are still to be
raised, as is also money for the "legis-
1ative campaign to obtain the neccs-
sary enforcement act by congress in
the coming session, without which the
right Of women to vote is not secure .
Neither does the report cover the

Picketing during the three years,
1917-18-19, cost $7,421.31. Bail for
pickets, which was later returned by
the district government, is an item
Of $1,000. More than $1,000 worth Of
banners and regalia was destroyed
Sin attacks upon the pickets by mobs,"
while several thousand dollars more
was invested in banners used during
the various demonstrations, according
to the report.
Recent demonstrations, including
the picketing Of the republican con-
vention at Chicago, legislative work
at the democratic convention in San
Francisco, and the sending Of deputa-
tions to the presidential candidates,
amounted to SIS, 96O.68.
The sum of $67, 1877 was spent in the

proposal was stayed by an Interrupt

a public restaurant and sought it's re-
hottest corner. He held something
that had belonged to Ada! A fitting
excuse was given to return it to her.
Its contents would surely give some
clew to her place Of work, her resi-
dence. He opened the hand bag. A
purse showed the edge of card in
little pocket. Petrie drew it out.

homestead, and at one time it seemed
foreclosure could not be avoided.
Then in some way he secured the mon

Eunice married Randall Marsh.

Of the loyal, whole-souled man who

.when>Mr. Ralston died Randall stepped
into his place, practical, hard working
and self-sacrifcing.
The tears fell as Eunice reached the
stcreroom, and lifted the top of the
fancy box she had herself covered, in
which her father had been accustomed
to store his extra clothing. Randall
himself had made the receptacle, and
together they had given it to Mr.. Raj
