CHAPTER II.
lily Secs Tom at the Thcatcr.


"Ive got something to tell you,
Cert" Lilly said in an aside after
she had introduced her companion
as James McGinnis. I'm tell you
after the boys 60"
Lilly did not notice that Gertie
was distrait so taken up was she
with McGinnis, a young man she had
only met that night, and whom TO
use her own words she was ''vamp-
ing because he had money"
what is 1t you have to tell me,
Lily" Gertie asked in n tired voice
as they stood In the dark hallway
after bidding their escorts good
night.
THAT fellow, Tom Norris. tho one
who we thought was stuck on you
so long ago--he's here again"
Il know, l went riding with him
this afternoon"
you did! why didn't you tell
me he was In town? l always tell
you everything"
IL didn't know It till this morning,
Lilly. Then just little while after
he came and took mo for ride"
"Well I saw him tonight with the
swellest girl! Gee, But she was a
peach all right You see McGinnis
runs n big pool parlor, he's got
money TO Dufur so Len tOlu me Wntu
he introduced him to me. II wasn't
two minutes before he asked me to
go to a show, and if / couldn't stay
all through said he wouldn't mind
but would take me TO Rosenburg's In
time to dance. Maybe | didn't jump
at the chance! We went 20 that new
musical comedy, orchestra seats,
mind you, and only Just two rows In
front OF us was that Norris fellow In
walters clothes. and a girl without
much on but straps. and a gorgeous
blue coat to lean against. Honest,
Gertie, she didn't shCw hardly any
thing but bare skin above the top of
the seat. She was swell locker
too, lovely blonde hair, done high
up on her head, and pearls and rings
and bracelets. oh gee! Why We're
we born poor2'
Gertio had scarcely heard a word
OF all this. All she realized was that
instead of coming TO see her dance
I'm her pretty, new costume Tom had
taken some other Eirl--his own kind
evidently from Lilly's description, u
the the0ter.

came to her rescue, although she
desperately wanted TO cry. lie had

away for the inevitable tea.
Gert!e wiped n tear away as she
undressed. Her feelings for Tom
Norris were complex. she tried TO
assure herself he never could mean
more than a friend to her, that he
only cared TO be with her because
she was pretty, and he was good
naturod. She had no business 70

! would be glad to see him at home,
but that would not be like being
alone with him. when she said her
prayers she asked for pleasant
Sunday. But the morning dawned
gray and unpromising. by 8 o'clock

pleasant day.

A POLITICAL PRECEDENT

Alice Robertson the woman whom all OKLA
homa, regardless ot political atflliaton, loves.
was made chairman Of the republican state
convention by acclamatlon.
n there is another case of record whore
woman has presided over the deliberations Of
"a political convention Of such magnitude it has
escaped tho attention Of the writer.
There ia significance in this precedent. too.
Mind you, Miss Robertson did not seek tho
honor, II was thrust upon her rs the sponta-
ncous act ot 2.5O0 delegates, among them mon
Of many years experience IN tho political arena;
Tho act forclbW strcssIng the fact that tho
puhllcaus Of oklahoma are appealing TO the
honest substantial and conservative forces OF
the state,
HAD the convention been the usual political
meeting which has come TO typlfy most convon-
tons In the state, had there been tho scheming
and the iogrolling which has characterized most
OF them, q woman would not have been thus
honored. But because the need Is for those
things which typIfy the home and It's best trn-
ditons those things which woman has stood
for always and further because partisanism
descendant and patriotism ascendant, tho
natural thing 10 do was 10 select the very high
est and most unselfsh type OF citizen for the
honor NJ the convention.
Comparisons are at best odlous and II Is not
with view OF making n comparison that we
say It Is impossible TO imagine tho democratic
convention recently held in Oklahoma City ask
ing good woman to preside over II and direct
It's labors. And II Ia equally impossible to Inn
aBlne the democratic organization OF the state,
as It is now composed. welcoming the active
oid OF democratic womanhood. The reasons are
clearly known and viii not be enumerated. so
far from sharing It's labors and Its confidence
with the splendid democratic women OF tho
atate democratic campaign headquarters mako
no pretense OF assembling; tho practical, ruth
less politicians and trlcksters on guard there do
not want woman "snooping about with their
hlgh-faluting airs about idoallsm and reform"
Nor Is It possible TO imagine the convention
which nominated Jack Walton I'm the first place
the Sha~nee coalition OF revolutonists and rad
icals. asking a good woman TO preside over It's
deliberations
There Is q comfortable place for woman In
this campaign nowhere save in the republican
ranks: she Is welcomed and her advice earnest
ly sought by no group OF politicians save those
who are directing the republican campaign in
the Interest Of the homo and honesty in tho
public service.
In the republican headquarters a great share
OF the responsibility Is being carried by the
women or the state, some OF the most outstand-
ing OF whom have been called to head impor.
tant departments and share fully in the coun-
ellis OF the polltlca Lleaders.
Under the circumstances It was tho most nat
ural thing imaginable for the convention to call
out for It's chief honor the woman who has rep
resented Oklahoma as It has never before been
represented whom the nation as n whole as we'll
as the state as whole honors and loves.
