great fun Please notify the com
mittee that you are to be there on

The old saying that "a patient
waiter is no loser has again been
proven when one thinks of the hun
dred years that have been spent trying
to give women the rights of citizen
ship. so when our bells, on Saturday,
pealed forth the joyful victory one
could not help but feel a thrill of
pride. 1t is interesting to think back
to the men and women who gave of
their brains and energy in the inter
est of this great cause, but the time
was not then ripe. The women of
this age must and will prove that the
time has now come when they are
fitted in every way to measure to the
standard of true citizenship and all
that that entails. A coincident rather
amusing was that last weeks papers
were filed with the yeas and nays
of the right and ACCESSIBILITY of women
to vote, mention was also made of the
divorce of Harold Bell Wright, the au-
thor. on the charge his wife did not
properly appreciate his works. Aren't
we a funny world
