WOMEN VOTERS
NONPARTISAN?
League President Can Not
Keep Politics Out-QuitS.

Disruption in the ranks Of heretofore
calm and peaceful existence of the local
League of Women Voters has come.
Mrs. Edward Hecker president of the
feminine nonpartisan organization OF
politicians, resigned Friday apparently
with no other reason than lack of time
to carry on the work properly, but 10,
todsy the real cause for the laying down
of the gaveI was brought to light.
Mrs. Hecker, it seems. finds it hard to
be the head of a nOnpartisan fedora
ton.
She claims that certain members,
prominent workers, too, are stealing her
thunder and trying to use her as mere
figurehead.
However the three members mentioned
in this connection in the case refuse 10
stand for the accusations which have
been thrown their way.
Miss Alma Seeker. Miss Eldena Lauter
and Miss sara Lauter claim that they
have only the good of the league in view,
that they are active workers, are full OF
pep" and united in the firm belief that
''Americanism before partyism" should be
the general policy and slogan of the
members.
1t is reported that the late president
also made reference to their financial
donations being so huge that the trio
felt that they had bought their right TO
lay out the policy for the organization.
Again, the three state that their do
nations together would not enrich the
treasury TO any startling extent.
A dozen others, they say. give equally
as much and more than they.
The whole secret of the feminine
"cabal' is that Mrs. Hacker has lost faith
in the power of political organization
to live and prosper as a nonpartisan
affair, that she does noj care to try
and steer the ship of women unafiliated
with party politics; that the rocks Of
opposition that she has run against have
discouraged her. and so the board is
now looking for an enthusiastic leader
one imbued with the widest enthusiasm.
one who will not let her personal party
affiliations stand before her league af-
1liation.
And is there such a person? Can
political organization be nonpartisan
without friction?
The majority of women say yes" and
the voters say no"
The next league election and a little
time will tell.

OF Interest TO Women
A FROCK FOR THE LITTLE GIRL.


sewing bag or basket to the cool Of

Knitting socks for soldiers and that
sort Of thing during the war rather
got US out of the notion for doing the
time fancy work, and at the same
time we learned during those war
days how much might be accompli she'd
In idle minutes when we should oth-
erwise be chatting with folded hands.
Add to that the fact that women actu-
ally are getting back to the old fash
ion of making many simple frocks
themselves. So you see women with
all sorts of useful tasks slowed away
in knitting or sewing bags, while
once they would have thought that
only the more useless sort of stitchery
should be brought to light. You are
no longer surprised to see the young
matron haul forth socks to darn as
she chats with you on veranda or
lawn. and she makes no apologies
either.
To Make ROsettea.
So to make few roSetteS from
lengths of lace would be a charming
occupation for a summers day, and it
requires no special skill nor previous
training. Such rosettes made in three
different sizes furnish all the trim
ming needed for the little frock
shown in today's sketch. The rest
the little chemise frock-for which
you really need no pattern, 50 much
is it like the little one-piece gar
Iments that you made as a child for
your doll children-this can be put
together in a twinkling in the sewing
room.
Now this frock is actually cut in
one piece. the only seams consisting
OF one on either side that extends

you will need a length twice as long
as a line drawn from shoulder to hem
of the little live doll for whom you
are making the frock, plus twice the
hem. For the frock shown crossbar

cuffs and the turn-down collar, and

CANDY was used for the girdle that
ties slightly to the left of the front
in a true lovers bow.
Net Tee Large.
Much of the chic in the frock is de-
rived from having the skirt and
sleeves just short enough and having
the ribbon that indicates the waist
line come Just in the right place.
There is always temptation to make
ample allowance for the fact that
children grow like poplar trees OF the
sort dear to the real estate boomer.
Surely they do grow and then out
grow their clothes, but it is far more
sensible to have the frock look just
right now that it is fresh and new
than to have it baggy and too large
all the first season of it's existence
SO that it will not be too tight an
other season when it's freshness has
departed.
