By ANNA PORTER

Anita Whitney received her share Of
honor on committees and platform
and played her role with initiative and
force, not hesitating even to tilt
lance with her subtle colleague, Wal
ter Thomas Mills. And that argues
some courage. AS a Californian, l
must not omit mention of our loyal
and militant Alice Park and our
staunch little farmer delegate from
Los Angeles, Esther Yarnell. That /
saw no Negro women delegates, re-
greet to report.
Lastly, there was the green Irish
chamber maid at the Ryan. do not
refer to her political color (all poll
tics serve to be colored nowadays)
but to the fact that she must very
recently have escaped from the Emer-
aid Isle, tho her mind seemed quite
untouched by the economic political
struggle. Her quaint attractive
brogue was quite unintelligible to me,
as my dialect appeared to be to her.
so confined my propaganda to re-
peating clearly again and again, Tell
your friends to vote the Farmer-Labor
ticket" And thinking something con-
crete and personal might arouse more
interest, / told her that the lovely
lady across the hall was sent to jail
for trying to help the workers. And
if that is not very Intellectual ex-
posftion of the case, It is after all, the
very essence of the situation and Of
the general truth.
Readers are asked to recognize and
appreciate the restraint with which
costumes are excluded from the re-
port of women's gathering, with The
exception of the mention of knickcr-
bockers, which would naturally ap-
pear in New York delegation. 9th
or artistic costumes were not absent.

Ryan Hotel. Incidentally the great
majority of delegates seemed to be
present in sympathetic accord, and
the woman's party was represented
by all its delegates. There were
twenty-five speakers listed, but need
less to say the program was closed
near midnight with many speakers
unheard. On the woman question,
Julia Poyntz spoke for the Commun-
lists. Mabel Vernon followed with a
spirited and rather scathing arraign-
ment of the Communists position
charging them with inconsistency in
struggling for the temporary right
of free speech while minimizing as a
temporary measure the freedom Of
women.
When Joseph Manley reported at
the convention for the resolutions
committee, he announced dramatical-
ly, Our committee was raided Raid
ed by the Woman's Party" And raid"
is perhaps the happy word to express
their incursion, for while they are all
very feminine and attractive gentle
women, this group-Lucy Branham,
Mabel Vernon, Alice Paul-they are
very spirited and aggressive fighters
for their cause. One. is reminded a
little by mother-tigers on a forage.
The committee adopted resolution
declaring broadly for the principle of
eoua1itV We are now challenging
the National Women's Party to sup
port the only party which supports
them.
There were present also with them,
"a group of local women, Miss Cane
of the Minnesota legislature, Mrs.
Calvin and half dozen others of
the city club where we were cordial
ly welcomed. One sympathetic lone

IN the center of the picture, Of
course, were the members of the
National Woman's party, because
they were there as women, and with
distinct object. They had been told
that sex equality was a fundamental
principle with Communists and that
the Communists would control the
convention, and they were there to
challenge this boosted principle and
to see that it was emplanked in the
platform.
The question unfortunately, is a
complex one, and the various women's
organizations themselves are at odds,
because absolute equality means the
abolition of the protective laws now
in force, and some think these are ne
cessary in the present stage Of in
dustry while others argue that they
are a handicap, and even that they
were deliberately placed there by the
enemy man, to prevent "scabbing" of
women by working for lower pay and

without an open scramble, women
could not compete. But none Of these
equality advocates whether of COM
plete or protected equality have any
patience with the Communist conten-
ton that women should organize as
workers rather than as women, that
there is little to interest the working
woman in the object of the bourgeois
women's parties and that the right to
equal exploitation with her fellow vic
tim, the working man, is not an OBJ
ject to struggle so madly for when
there is the great array Of women
workers to be organized on the job.
There was a free evening at the
convention when the hall was not
available, and the Workers Party
filled that in with a banquet" at The

just as it did that night at Petrograd.
We drink again. Marie loosened
her tightly drawn hair and suddenly
she whirls away in southern dance
across the field; we sing on, ctapping
hands and accompanied by two
guitars and a harmonica. Soon the
Caucasian and few more OF our
group join Marie, and it seems as if
the entire forest had joined them, the
mighty old trees and the thick under
brush, all are moving and dancing to
Marie, the queen. She danced away
with the Grousinian ahead of the rest.
Now and then they met, their arms
interlocked and the harmonica and
the guitars play faster and faster, a
militant, boisterous march. Soon we
are all swirling passionately, forget
full of all and everything in mad
"carahod."
Fill up the glasses" Marie orders,
and our dance continues with added
fervor, until exhausted, our steps
weaken, and we gradually quiet down.
Even the campfire is slackening and
the flaming tongues cast only pale
reflections over the dark Hue horizon.
The forest too became melancholy, as
if wrapped in sudden remorse. The
guitars and harmonica give forth sad
dened, drawn-out sounds, and our
Marie with her jet-black hair all over
her shoulders and cheeks flushed,
stands close by the tall tree upon
which the red flag still swings tender
ly, and staring at the dying campfire,
bursts out into crying Little-Rus-
sian melody. The sudden cry grips
our hearts, our heads drop low, and
as If mourning, we listen to the sigh
ing melody, which flows like river Of
sadness over our heads.
The harmonica and guitars are ST.
lent now; only Marie's voice fills the
chastened air, and as she sings our
hearts grow heavier. ooh, dear, old
home, dear friends and comrades,
where are you nowT cries out each
note of her song. Now as never be.
fore we perceive how deserted and
lonesome we are, wandering here in
the misty white world, between win
ter and spring, between day and
night.
Fill up the glasses, quicker, quick
er! Let us pour wine over our sor

and we responded with a futter Of
a million desires to run far away from
here into these new light vistas.
Marie came along and sat down op-
pOsite me, looking with her big, visit
full eyes thru the little window of
my hut towards the great forest. ST.
lently we left the house, she took my
arm, and 1 sense that her heart is
beating very fast. What is 1t,
Marie?" ask her. She looks up list
lessly, silently, and we walk on to
the forest, while she clings closer
and closer to me, as if in mortal fear
of something dreadful that is about
to happen.
What a strange sight our two dark
figures make up in this milky-white
world, two lonesome, wandering souls,
so near and so distant. Whittier are
we going? Hush, there are voices
from afar, familiar voices. We sud-
denly wake from our dream, and
presto! Marie, our dear Marie Of old,
is again before me. The sorrow has
left her eyes, her melancholy is gone,
and obeying a quick tug of her arm,
am running fast after her toward
the voices. In moment we are in
the forest, and thru the trees per-
ceive our colony camped out on a
strip of land between the trees, COW
cred here and there with sparse green
patches. A big campfire fed by enor-
nous logs and branches shoots out gi-
gantic tongues Of flame which cast
grotesque, ribbon-like, purple sha.
dows upon the snow. We are hailed
with shouts. Our Grousinian comrade
rises with glass full of whiskey and
drinks our health. There is a boil.

in the center of the improvised camp
red flag strung up on a tall tree
flutters quietly to the breeze m the

where spring is still blended with win

In an instant Marie was at the flag
surrounded by all the members OF
our colony. Some one hands her a
filed glass, and all drink at one gulp
Then we sing all in chorus the Inter

 No. I'll go." put in Meddlesome Matte.
 She accompanied the detective, and the two of them made a thor oush search among Nancy Ray nor's things.
 Ii would be false 10 say Miss Mat tie did not enjoy it--her feminine curiosity was gratired al this op- portunity to see her laws belongings and she poked into drawers and cmpboards with en- thusiasm.
 Especially did the detective scru- tini5e the bottles in the medicine cabinet. There were a few vials Of white tablets, which he confis- cated. but which were labeled uui- nine or soda hints or some simple preparation.
 They were about 10 call this search complete. when Miss Msttie's sharp eyes noticed a book set as- kew on the book shelf. She pulled it out and found there was a volume concealed behind it.

Letter From Leslie Prescott to the Gay Little Marquise, Care of the Secret Drawer,
 Continued

Why do you say that, Karl? ?" asked Alice angrily. There is no reason why you should not have been at least co-eXecutor with John"
 There is no reason. Alice, why l should be made co-oxecutor. You know very well you are very anxious to go abroad to live, and it would have complicated things greatly not to have given John full rein. Alice will be sure of this when she has had time to think, " said Karl, turn ing to mother She knows as well as the rest of you that have never in my whole life had anything to do but to spend my income.'
 Which, Karl, you have done with great kindness and profit to all those about you" interpoIated softly.
 For some reason, little Marquise. this seemed to enrage Alice beyond power of control.
 You. Leslie. should he able to bear this testimony, for you your- self have proftcd by Karl's k,nd- ness. as you call it, 10 tn uncom- mon degree"
 Every one but myself secmod mortified at this. Even mother started up in bed with d look of such pain on her face 9s she did not have when my father died.
 Honestly. little Marquise, I thought John vas going 10 strike Alice. He went toward her with doubled fists. hastily got between them. Both Karl and mother made an exclamation of reproos.

 There arc eight" Red Higgins replied, And they have nothing to eat. They will be coming ashore pretty soon to go to the grocery to get supplies, then I will wrestle them and tic them to trees until every last one has been captured, Then, you can all go aboard the boat and have fine sail."
 Red Higgins was mistaken though. For, when the eight Pirates on board the boat found that the other seven did not return from the grocery, they knew something must have happened to them.
 So, they lifted the anchor and while our friends watched from the bushes the little fat captains nice boat sailed away from the shore and put out over the lake.
