 They chose Lucy Stone the name for the ieaE'F~ because Lucy Stone was the first wG lrsstn to retain her own name after marriage. She was one of the earliest pioneers of the modern feminist movement to make women equal @ men in all social and political privileges.
 Lucy Stone was a courageous Won- an. In her day 1t required great couT age boldly to defy the customs and traditions of generations and to intro duce 8 new theory into hrmly-en- trenched conventions.
 Lucy Stone revolted against the dom inatioa 7 3aan at an early age. Her father was q zsad father and . fine hus- band but oVerts~arIDg. The Stone housgnold was run 5N. one person. LucY's father. Francis Stosrs

 While at college, Lucy did housework at three cents an hour. and taught in the prepara tory school. All this time she managed to stand first in her class.
 She was the first woman in the state of Massachusetts to hold college de gree.

ROYAL WIDOWS
 ARE TO SPEND
 XMAS TOGETHER

London, Dec. 2O-Two Dcwager Queens and one Dowager Empress Of Europe, the widows of former Kings of England and Denmark. and an Christmas holidays together in Eng land. Dowager Queen Louise of Denmark. widow of King Frederick VIII, who died in 1912, and Dowager Empress Maria F'eodorovna, of Rus sia, widow of Emperior Alexander III. who died in 1894, will be the guests of Dowager Queen Alexandra at Sandringham. Queen Alexandra who died in 1910. Those who fol- low the annals of royalty say this is the first time, probably in history, that three widowed queens have thus come together.
 Maria Feodorovna is younger sister of Alexandra, and Louise is a sister-in-law of both. Hence it will be family reunion. Maria Feodo- rovna arrived in England recently and celebrated her 75th birthday, November 26, as a guest of her sis te-. She has been living for the past two years in enmark-she was orig inally the Danish Princess Dagmar but she will now remain in England for several weeks Queen Louise who is T years old. is expected at Sandringhan a few days after Christ mas.
 There will be no public or social functions in honor of the royal guests, but during the Christmas season King George and the entire royal family will spend few days with Queen Alexandra and their aunts
 The meeting of Queen Alexandra, who is 7S years old, and her sister will be more or less touching as the Queen is known to be very distressed at the plight of her sister, who has been rapidly declining in health since | the killing of her son, who was En1- peror Nicholas. by the Bolsh eviki at | in the summer of 1918. |

Paris Prefers Lighter
 Forms of Amusement

Paris, Dec 20-The people of Paris spend quarter Of billion francs yearly on theatres and motion pic lures, and do not care to do nIcb heavy thinking during the process, Government statistics on last years receipts Of every playhouse fin Paris warrant these statements, and at the same time supply interesting infor- nation about what pleaSes the tired business man of France and his non voting wife.
 Motion picture houses, which out number the regular theatres three to one, took in 50 c00,00O francs in 1919 rather more than did the theatres, and a third of the total amusement receipts. Last year, however, the the atres took first place with receipts of so'OOO.VO9 francs, 11.000,00O more than the movies. This increase seems to De due largely to the fact that the theatregoers have modified their oppo- siuonal attitude toward high prices of admission and also by a revival of the typically light and racy play.

Sydney, N s. W. Dec. 20-The dress and morals of the woman of today were censured by Mrs Grant Forsythe, in the presidents address at the annual convention of the Wo- men's Christian Temperance Union.
