The Women S Section
WOMEN FROM ELEVEN WESTERN STATES
WILL CELEBRATE BIRTHDAY or EQUAL
RIGHTS CONVENTION AT COLORADO

A great western celebration in
which the women from eleven west
ern states will participate is to be
held by the National Woman s Par
ty in Colorado Springs on Septem-
Der 90 and 23. This will be one Of
the series of anniversary meetings
held by the woman's party in diff
ferent sections of the country to
commemorate the holding of the
first Equal Rights Convention in
the world, which met seventy five
years ago in Seneca Falls, New
York.
The principal feature of this cele
bration will be a ceremonial page
ant in the Garden of the Gods, on
September %, which will be even
more magnificent than that present
ed by the Woman's Party at Seneca
Falls, New York, on July 81, be-
fore an audience of more than ten
thousand people.
Has Two Objects
This equal rights celebration has
two cardinal objects: First, that
the country may learn more Of the
achievements Of the great women of
the past whose memories are too
little honored; and second, that pub
lie sentiment may be aroused
throughout the country in support
of the proposed amendment to the
federal constitution which will at
last bring to women that equality
which was demanded for them 75
years ago by Lucretia Mott and Eli
zabeth Cady Stanton.
On the day following the celebra-
tion, the National Council of the
Woman's Party will meet at Colo
rado Springs to plan the political
is to be- introduced in Congress in
December by Senator Curtis, the
Republican whip. A few of the
noted women whom the celebration
has brought to the west, are Mrs.
Oliver II. p. Belmont of New York,
president of the party; Miss Alice
Paul, of New Jersey, vice president
VI tHO Paity anu lciucl VI Iilo leIil-
mist movement in America; Miss
Anita Pollitzer of Charleston, South
Carolina, national secretary of the
party, who has worked for equal
rights legislation in 20 state legisla-
lures, and Miss Hazel MacKaye of
Massachusetts, foremost woman
pageant producer in the country,
daughter of the late Steele Mae
Kaye and sister of Percy MacKaye
the playwright.
Mrs. l.. A. Miller poet laureate of
Colorado, former president of the
State Federation of Women s Clubs
and chairman of the pageant COM
mittee, and Mrs. Lillian II. Kerr,
vice chairman OF the Colorado
branch of the Woman's Party,
have addressed letters urging coop
Grafton in the Equal Rights cele-
bration to the following representa-
tive women in Southern California:
Mrs. N. w. Terrell, Glendale;
Mrs. M. w. Morrison La Jolla; DR..

Magnolia in Her. GOlU1

If you are going to have but
one evening gown this year-and
you can wear black-why not get a
very simple one of black velvet or
heavy crepe9 Put your money in
material and lines-then add a bit
of color with bright fan or with q
brilliantly colored Spanish shawl.
The artificial flowers, by the
way, that are being shown for the
purpose of adding bits of color and
change to the evening toilette are
far more realistic this season than
ever before. Magnolias, water lilies
and tulips are among the newest.
Their charm must be seen to be ap-
preciated at all. OF course, the rose
is developed charmingly as usual,
but it hasn't the inspiration of the
unexpected as these other have.
Jewels are much worn for even
ing-that abused term covering
everything from the fabulously val
liable, to the cleverly semiprecious
that any of us can afford. Their
color and sparkle add much to the
ensemble of costume-provided
they are chosen for effectiveness
and not put on haphazard. Don't
wear any jewel-no matter how love
ly-just because you have it. jew
els must harmonizc with the costume
the time when their presence is
demanded for perfection of beauty.
And that brings us back to the
fitness of things-the criterion of
all beauty and rightness in living.
No following of fashion can make
smartness for the woman who is
blind to the individuality of herself
and environment.
