SUFFRAGE PARTY BEGINS OR
CANNING ORLEANS.

The foundation was laid Wednes-
day afternoon by the Woman Suf-
frage party for the construction of
a big organization, which will be used
in the future when women have the
right to vote.
Anticipating that suffrage will be
given them before many months, the
Woman Suffrage Party leaders on
Wednesday took steps to build up
the organization in this city. A city
board has been selected to perfect
the organization in New Orleans.
The city has been divided into
four districts. with a chairman for
each district.
The third district runs from Ca
nal to Esplanade and Algiers. Mrs.
Eva Lyons Page is chairman.
The entire city organization will
be under the direction of Mrs. JOS
eph Deyereaux, chairman.
THE purpose of the organization
is to build up a large membership
of women voters" explained Mrs
Devereaux. I'VE expect to run in
TO the thousands in members.
THE city organization will extend
into wards, precincts and blocks.
each being a separate unit. The
regional chairmen are women of
ability and leadership, as shown by
their work in other organizations.
The ward organizations will be per-
fected under their direction.
This city organization is prelim-
mary and necessary pending the time
when we will be given the ballot.
When that time comes the Woman
Suffrage Party automatically will
become the Louisiana League of Wo-
men Voters, as provided for by the
national organization.
This league will be strictly a
non-partisan, semi-political organi-
cation welcoming within its ranks
members of all shades of political
opinion. 1t will not be affiliated
with either of the great political
parties or any local faction. Its
purpose will be to secure through the

no. When Paris says you should
look "uncorseted" Paris means you
should wear a corset so deftly de-

that it merely accents the natural
beauty and that the most critical

your charm to it's subtle support.
Make a study of yourself. perfect
your flaws, and study your corset
