fof thought in this. In TACT,
this in itself should cause our
Ifull-blooded American men and
, lwoafien to vote FOR the League.
IDS youspeople want to put your
Hands in your pockets and pay
;y;for huge navy; do you want to
support a vast army? This you
must do unless you have q League
to supervise world peace. The
League exists right now. We
can join it or MOTTO our honor
Tor dishonor. Forty-three ma
lions now belong to the League.
lIf Mr.. Harding forms his "as-
sociation" it will consist Of Ger
many, Mexico, Russia and the
United States! Which would
you prefer--such an association,
or the manly League Of 43 ma
tons?
The Democratic party did not
want the League to be made a
partisan issue-but the Repub-
|licans willed otherwise. That
should be the last word said as
to where women should be this
fall.
Just think of this wonderful
opportunity-the very first time
we have had a chance to vote,
and now to vote for such Chris
tian, righteous thing as this
League of Nations. Our hearts
should swell with pride and hap
piness at the privilege. Let us
see to it that we register and
vote. Every woman should feel
the responsibility. If a woman
wants to be a real queen, let her
go to the polls.
And then in conclusion Mrs.
Carroll feelingly referred to the
1000 American dead on Flan-
ders fields, and she expressed
the hope that their spirits might
come back and get behind the
100000 women in North Caro-
lima and make them register and
then vote for the cause that
they bled and died for-and they
will not have died in vain!
At the conclusion of Mrs. Car
rolls speech, Miss Esdale Shaw
arose and issued an invitation
for the ladies in the audience to
join the Democratic Woman's
Club-and scores at once joined.
All in all, it was a most felicious
meeting, and the speech was one
we'll calculated to remove all |
doubts anyone might have enter
tanned as to his or her course in |
the November End election. The
books will close
Saturday night of this week, and
every white woman should reg
lister and be in a position to vote
the Democratic ticket and for

CONVINCING SPEECH

North Carolina needs no de
/ tense. 1t has a record of which
we are proud. It stands for the
'!best things. And right here
she reminded her audience that
! Richmond county possessed .
MAN who was anafraid-whc
stands for the highest-who is
full worthy Of the support Of
every white woman--W. N
Everett. And though Mr.. Ev-
erett, along with the minority
went down to defeat in the house
in advocacy of woman's suf-
frage, yet he and they will rise
again--dont worry.
Mrs. Carol emphatically as
serted that there is no such
thing as an independent. This
country is run by government
of parties-a voter must align
him or herself with one or the
lother. ooh, I'm an Independ-
ent," some smart aleck may say.
No, you are not; you are MOTH
ING. There is no halfway
ground. Get in one party or the
other.
One argument used several
months ago against woman's
suffrage was that the woman
could never keep up with poll
tics or know anything. If you
want to really know about your
party platform, just ask your
husband. Unless he happens to
be a lawyer, you'll know moth
ing.
And now she came to the all
important League of Nations.
The Republicans have made an
issue out of the league---the
Democrats did not want it to be-
come a football in politics. But
it is an issue dear to the hearts
of every American mother. The
Republican platform of 1916 eX-
pressly spoke in favor of NO
separate peace with Germany,
and went on record as favoring
IA Covenant to prevent war. The
Democratic platform had about
the same. We gave our boys
8, 900, 000-to end war. The war
ended, and the President went
across the water to help arrange
the peace terms and to perfect
the Covenant that both parties
had endorsed and been talking
about. He brought back a copy,
and asked for criticisms. Taft
offered four suggestions, Roose-
welt seven, Root two--27 amend
ments were carried back to
France by President Wilson and
practically all were incorporat-
ed in the final draft Of the Cove
nant. Senator Lodge was asked
to suggest whatever amend
naehts he thought best, but he
refused. Instead he lay low ana
played politics. What is the
reason for the Republican oppo-
sition? Simply that a Demo-
cratic President helped to write
lit!
Shall we full-blooded Ameri-
can mothers accept this League
of Nations? Yes, and not one
word shall be changed! (And the
prolonged applause from the au-
dience indicated that that was
their hearty opinion.)
That we have not already
passed the league should be
matter of humiliation and cause
the heads Of every mother to
hang in shame. The Republican
majority in the Senate has beer
juggling with our honor.

EGLIGEES patterned after the

veloping popularity at a rate that
promises TO make them rivals of the

practical and Unexpectedly becoming
especially TO small women. Other

garments. Turkish trousers of satin
or even of silk and metal tissues, over
low bodices, form the foundation for
long. loose coats of crepe ge0rgette
or chiffon in the showiest and most
splendid examples of negiigees; so
there is plenty of precedent for the
Chinese garments of much less mag

are fashioned in SILK or satin which
Is more than fine enough.

EMILE women have always APP
~ preciated all the little subtle
touches that are the essentials of good
dressing. In days gone by our grand
mothers learned the art of embroidery
and occupied many hours of their time
doing painstaking and beautiful work
on their belongings. They replenished
their store of undermuslins with
dainty handmade pieces. adding re-
finements TO them in embroidery and
other stitching. Underwear of fine
cottOns. decorated with exquisite EN-
broideries, is as much admired as
ever. but most of 1t is made in other
lands than ours.

less dainty but they have become
more luxurious. Wash silks and
satins laces and even chiffOns have
been added to the materials used for
making them and ribbons have re-
placed embroidery. The camisoIe pet

here reflect the mode in luxurious and
beautiful underthings of silk which
has eclipsed cotton in the favor of
many fair women.
