This is the fifth of a series of stories ly Marguerite Martyii of the Post-Dispatch on "St. Louis Women Who Have Made Good." By MARGUERI T'E MARTYN. ST. LOUIS has claim upon three women who are national figures in politics, Mrs. Bessie Parker Brueggeinan, Mrs.

Emily Newell Blair and Mrs. George Gellhorn. Possibly Mrs. Gellhorn is not to be regarded as a politician, since she heartily disclaims affiliation with any political party. In her case I refer to politics according to its original and preferred definition in the dictionary, not in the sense to Avhich it has degenerated.

As a leader of that group of women, claiming to be independent but organized mainly for political purposes the Na been practicing up a left shift that Fillmore's eyes met Sally's wanly, and she pitied him. Presently she would require him to explain how he had dared to dismiss Ginger from his employment and make that explanation a good one; but in the meantime she remembered that he was her brother and was suffering. "He '8 the cleverest proceeded Mr. Burrowes fervently, "since Joe Gans. I'm tellinj you and I know.

tional League of Women Voters I contend that, with her group, she does figure effectively in politics. Then the League claims, for all its independence of any one party, not to be opposed to parties and party organizations, but to be all-partisan in its membership and interests. "Can he make a hundred ana thirty-five ringside -without being weak?" iked Sally. The effect of this simple question on Mr. Burrowes was stupendous.

He dropped away from Fillmore's coat-button like an exhausted bivalve, and his small mouth opened feebly. It was as if a child hid suddenly propounded to an eminent mathematician some abstract problem In the higher algebra. Females who took an interest in boxing had come into Mr. Burrows' life before In his younger days, when he was a famous featherweight, the first of his three wives had been accustomed to sit at the ringside daring the contest and urge him In language of the severest technicality to knock opponents' blocks off but somehow he had not supposed from her appearance and manner that Sally was one of the elect. He gaped at her.

and the relieved Fillmore sidled off like a bird hopping from the compelling gaze of a snake.

AS a wife are you not often complaining because" your husband does not care to attend the social functions of which you are so fond? Tou often allude to the husband of some other woman as being so much more Ideal as a companion because he is so often seen at social functions in company with his wife. It may be that this "ideal" husband has an easier way of his living, or he may be better fixed financially. He may not have to figure so closely on how to make both ends meet in domestic matters, and so has more time to be socially agreeable. Tour husband is practical and far seeing. Tour husband realizes that if he gets together enough to carry you both" to the end of your lives and leave something to the children he must work now and he must think now and he must plan very closely and to advantage.

With these thoughts he loses much sleep, and he cannot feel as full of good spirits as you who scarcely ever think of the future. When a maji is handicapped by weariness and his equilibrium is disturbed by working out plans that are hard to solve, he does not make a cheerful companion at a "pink tea." (Copyright, 1923.) Rewards. OME men may toil for ruddy gold with head and heart and hands, for coffers full as they can hold, for stretch of fertile lands. For, oh! The world's a weary place to men who go in need; it turns a cold, unfeelin; face, nor answers when they plead. Ragged and cold, unkempt, they go to beg a crust of bread, trudging through winter's sleet and snow, men broken and afraid.

So, see ing these, some save and stint to hoard their yellow store till they are dazzled by its glint, and grasp the more still more. And others work for earth acclaim, they dream of honor's crown when they have scaled the heights of fame and won a fair renown. The gleam of glory lights their way and, ever as they go. all else forgotten, day by day, they seek its deathless glow. But such rewards I do not ask; when sunset dyes the West and I am through my daily task and turning home to rest.

I want the boon of full release from cares that mar the day. I want the twilight star of peace to shine upon my way. I want to leave it all behind the hate, the fret, the schemes, to cross your threshold there and find only your love and dreams. Oh, I would go for many an nour, tread many a weary mile, not ror bright gold or worldly power, but just to win your smile. Ts other men, their golden gain, i i wieir nopes, meir pians.

Sally Exerts Herself to Be Nice She has been vice-chairman of the National League of Women Voters and member of its national board. Thousands of members of the organization know St. Louis chiefly through Mrs. Gellhorn, from having sat under the spell of her eloquence at their national conventions and having her visit them on organizing tours up and down the country. Also she has become widely known as national chairman of the large fund raised to endow a chair of civics at Bryn Mawr College in memory of Dr.

Anna Howard Shaw, and as one of the trustees of the endowment fund of that college, of which she is an alumna. I have heard her credited, too, with responsibility for the self-government system Tor which the colk-ge is famed, which originated during her years there and to which is attributed the development of so many women leaders in public affairs among its alumnae. In short, Mrs. Gellhorn is known as one of the foremost leaders of the woman movement in this country. It is in her gift of oratory, infectious enthusiasm and great dramatic gifts, through which she is able to convert others to convictions, that she is most effective in any cause with which she is identified, though executive or organizing abilities are not less marked attributes.

At the Xational League of Women Voters conventions she always is called upon to lead the money-raiding sessions for the reason that she is able vividly to dramatize the needs of the hour. She can be very dramatic in her appearance, too. being of th heroic Brunhilde mold and with thick flaxen braids coiled in a coronet over her brow. Probably Mrs. Gellhorn prefers to be known now-a-days for her interest in educational project" and even regards the League cf Women Voters as.

above alt, an institution for education in citizenship. At any rate, with th-? nineteenth amendment now an accomplished fact, lately her activities are being expended in behalf of education. She has been in executive charge cf the campaign for the erection of the John Burroughs school, a country day school for boys an I girls, and is active in work of the board of counselors or liryn Mawr, whose chief purpose is providing scholarships for brilliant but impecunious students. Mrs. Gellhorn was Edna daughter of the late Dr.

Washington E. Fischel and Mrs. Fischel, who was a pioneer in women's club work. Indeed, round the Fischel dinner table many of the earlier movements, clubs and societies for our cul-tuial, ethical and social development were inaugurated. So it was in an atmosphere of altruism that she grew up.

EsDeciallv in St. Louis, where the local branch is organizeu rather upon party lines with a Republican, Democratic and independent president, respectively, it is prepared to inject its principles and interests into each of the parties. Certainly the local league, upon occasions so re cent as to be still fresh in our memories, has functioned ef fectively in political campaigns on behalf of judiciary, educa tional and public health measures; one of its claims being1 that these departments of government 6hould be kept free of partisan influence and patronage. And Mrs. Gellhorn was a leader in each of these pure-government campaigns.

Xot Pleased in Particular by Any of the Parties. Possibly not as a holder of political office nor as a candidate will she ever be known as a politician, since such positions, with our election system such as it is, entail standing upon the platform of one of the parties, none of which pleases her in every particular, she has told me. But as the one woman who probably did more than any other hereabouts to get the franchise which enabled alt other women actually to participate in politics, Mrs. Gellhorn's leadership in politics defined according to its higher and broader sense, Is not to be questioned. Besides her work for equal suffrage there have been other manifestations, too numerous to mention, of her influence in matters of public welfare.

During the war she was head of the Food Administration here. In the memorable Pageant and Masque which dramatized the history and progress of St. Louis, sha was a moving spirit. In the centennial celebration of the city's founding she enacted a leading role. In many movements for the advancement and cultural development of the city and even of the country at large, she has ben identified.

Locally there have been times when almost the whole burden of the suffrage cause rested upon the shoulders of this leader. Though at the same time, I daresay, there never has been a time when she would not have surrendered this leadership, for one of her most conspicuous activities has been urging other leaders forward and developing leaders. sometimes among women who did not know they could be. She has held city, State and religional chairmanships of the organization when it was struggling as well as in its hours of triumph. Recently, by unanimous vote at the State League of Women Voters convention.

Mrs. Gellhorn was made honorary president for all time. Nationally she is not less well known in the movement. ASK OR WRITE FOR kill a guy in some towns before they'll rive you a decision. At that, they couldn't do nothing so raw as make it anything but a win for my boy, after him leading by a mile all the way.

Have you ever seen Bugs, ma'am?" Sally had to admit that she had not had that privilege. Mr. Burrowes with growing excitement felt in his breast-pocket and produced a picture-postcard, which he thrust into her hand. "That's Bugs," he said. "Take a slant at that and then tell me if he don't look the goods." The photograph represented a young man in the irreducible minimum of clothing who crouched painfully, as though stricken with one of the acuter forms of gastritis.

"I'll call him over and. have him sign it for you," said Mr. Burrowes, before Sally had had time to grasp the fact that this work of art was a gift and no mere loan. "Here, Bugs wantcher." A youth enveloped in a bath robe, who had been talking to a group of admirers near the ring, turned, started languidly towards them, then, seeing Sally, quickened his pace. He was an admirer of the sex.

Mr. Burrowes did the honors. sweater, moving from his body, revealed a good pair of shoulders. A last tug, and the sweater was off. Red hair flashed into view, tousled and disordered; and, as she saw It, Sally uttered an involuntary gasp of astonishment which caused many eyes to turn towards her.

And the red-headed young man, who had been stooping to pick up his gloves, straightened himself with a jerk and stood staring at her blankly and incredulously, his face slowly crimsoning. It was the energetic Mr. Burrowes who broke the spell. "Come on, come on." he said impatiently. "Li'l speed there, Red-dy." Ginger Kemp started like a sleepwalker awakened; then recovering himself, slowly began to pull on the gloves.

Embarrassment was stamped on his agreeable features. His face matched his hair. To Be Continued in the Post-Dispatch.

Movement to Honor Mrs. Blair Began Here As to Mrs.

Blair, strictly speaking St." Louis may not wholly claim the vice-chairman of the Democratic Na'ional Committee as a citizen. Her residence is Joplin where hjr husband. Harry Blair, is a mining attorney and just now she resides in Washington as member in charge of the women's department at National Democratic headquarters. But so well and Intimately known did Mrs. Blair become in St.

Louis during long periods spent here as director of publicity and editor of the official organ of the old suffrage organization, that there exists that personal as well as official relationship. It was here that tho movement was launched to have Mrs. Blair elected to represent the Democratic women of the State on the National Committee which afterward resulted in her being appointed National head of the women of the party. So determined was the group of women assembled ut the Stats convention to have Mrs. Blair represent them that they raised and presented to the campaign chest in her behalf $1000, a customary contribution from an aspirant to this post.

Their demand was that they be represented in thlr national party councils by a woman quali-fiei according to their ideals rather than by one qualified principally by a large and open P'irse as is often the considera i I 4 Republican and Democrttl tional conventions of M. the New York Tlmei History Magazine.

Moreover, they appreciated that there probably waa no woman better equipped tor this job. Already Mrs. Blair had distinguished herself as an organizer, speaker and molder of public sentiment through hr writing and also as one familiar with political machinations at the national capital. Directed Publicity for National Defense Council.

During the war, while her hus-bai'd was enlisted in Y. M. C. A. work overseas, she was in Washington as a director of publicity for the Women's Committee National Council of Defense.

Afterward she was chosen official historian of this organization and compiled a large volume setting forth its record and accomplishments. Before her political career began, along with early suffrage work. Mrs. Blair had gained considerable fame as a writer of fiction, usually in tho vein of domestic comedies and rfegedies, but always from th-i feministic viewpoint. Her stories were published In some of tho leading magazines.

One was entitled "Letters of a Contented Wife." She was a contributor of political articles to the Outlook and reported the Vacuum packed "Bugs, this is Miss Nicholas, c6ms to see you work out. I have been telling her she's going to have a treat." And to Sally. "Shake hands with Bugs Butler, ma'am, the coming lightweight champion i the world." Mr. Butler's photograph, Sally considered, had flattered him. He was.

in the flesh, a singularly repellent young man. There was a and cruel curve to his lips and a cold arrogance in his eye; a something dangerous and sinister In the atmosphere he radiated. Moreover, she did not like the way he smirked at her. However, she exerted herself to be amiable. "I hop'e you are going to win, Mr.

Butler." she said. The emlle which she forced as she Bpoke the words removed the champion's doubts, though they Jiad never been serious. He was convinced now that he had made a Chit. He always did, he reflected, 'with the girls. It was something about him.
