BBAZIL DAILY TIS. WEDNESDAY, 17, lM5 Rachel Murray, Celia and Lela Howald and Miss Elsie Roberts of Staun The Girl Telegrapher's Peril C0r.ir.IITTEE OF ICO TO SECURE FUNDS FOR SUFFRAGE. Society Notes i I i Movie Colomim Program and News p3 rT- 3 Hi Shows 1 OF THE Moving Picture 1 SCENE From -THE GIRL CTITLD on a railroad" trestle, runninsr cirl and a leap- into liv ovprhMd-thpse were some last week provided Lone Point known for j-ears. "I The girl telegraph operator, Helen Holmes, was the heroine and little Myra Blake, three-year-old daughter of Thomas Blake, a lineman, was the innocent cause of what narrowly escaped being a tragedy. If Miss Holmes had been a moment later in her dash across the trestle after the unconscious child or if the river, thirty feet b'Iovv, had not Wen very deep and clear of rocks at that point Lone Point would indeed have bee lonely in the months to come.

As it -was, the girl rescuer and the child struggling in the swift running Devil river only escaped drowning through the efforts of a tramp telegrapher who happened along just then. When Blake, the father, rushed, frantic, to the spot he found his baby and the girl he loved safely drying their clothes at a fire built by the stranger. This latest story of danger and daring in the career of Helen, the girl telegraph operator, is full of interest, because Helen not only saves the child's life, but she has to reject two proposals from the baby's father. Blake, who is a widower, has fallen deeply in love with the pretty operator because of her tenderness in dressing his injuries after a railroad accident. Helen, however, would have done the same for any wounded man, and tells him so.

His pride injured, Blake stalks angrily from the office and bumps into Pete, tramp operator. lie takes his anger out on Pete, thrashing him so severely that Helen is forced to come to the stranger's rescue. It is this rough courtesy that drives Pete to the rivers edge to escape his rough neighbors in a peaceful cauip under the stars; hence he is on hand when the two girls leap from the bridge, and his presence saves them from a watery grave. Blake is overwhelmed with remorse when he realizes that the victim of his anger has returned this magnificent revenge, and they become fast friends. Blake again asks Helen to be his wife, but she shakes her head again.

She has not yet met the man whom she is to love. This story is called "The Girl Telegrapher's Teril" and is the last of the series, "The Hazards of Helen," the railroad series, in which the Kalem Company is featuring Helen Holmes, the most darinj moving picture actress in the world. ton; Messrs. John Eberle, "Jim" Hardy, David Fagg, Richard Mor-land, Dan and Dave Huffman, Albert and Eugene Murray. The guests departed at a late hour wishine Miss Murray many more happy birth days.

Af ter' the business session, Mrs. Albert Wardlaw read an interesting paper on "The Effect Woman Suffrage Has on the Legislation to Protect Women and Children." Mrs. Wardlaw stat ed that if one must choose one word to represent the great motive powers of this cause, woman's suffrage, that word would be, "Service," and she explained in detail the many lines into which the service of women may be turned, provided she is equipped with the only adequate weapon, the ballot.

The suffrage movement she classed as dignified, and its triumph absolutely sure. This work is for the betterment of con ditions in the cities and jails. Now adays women's sphere is filled with things made by factories, which are regulated my man-made laws and the many children go from the home into the schools which are conducted according to the laws of the community also. She also stated dthat statistics show in other states, where women hold public office, that there are more girls saved from evil. After the reading of the paper the following, Mrs.
