I nless the whole thing is covered with a clean cloth, dust is bound to et into his food, which may carry with it the germs of all sorts of infectious diseases. The suffragists succeeded in getting a suffrage plank in the Democratic platform.

Are they satisfied Not at all. They denounced it it "inadequate," and declare that they will resume their fight in Congress for national recognition. Mrs. Catt says the Democrat "thought to hoodwink "the women by ft jumble of words, but in no sense succeeded." What value has a. plank in a Democratic platform? Four years ago the Democrats had a "one term" plank in their platform.

At its convention in 8t. Louis the party was unanimous in favor of a second term for President Wilson Ida Tarbell, speaking of the Woman! party convention, at Chicago, said that the men who spoke before it made the discovery that the women taiow how to plav the political Kame like men and with a certain steel-like implacability which teiong9 onlv to women. Mie says We are getting what we are in for, women politicians, the inevitable result of women voters. Some of the suffragists think that the vague suffrage plank in the Republican platform marks a victory for them, but many of them estimate, it at its true value. A suffrage leader ia quoted by the Chicago Tribune of June 10 as saying: "The delegates on tho floor evi dently felt that the plank was a pleas ant joke which really did no harm, as it meant nothing.

The 40.000 women who were to march in the suffrage parade in Chicago dwin dled down to 5.0O0, and of these 4,000 were local suffragists, the rest of the covin try being represented bv only 1,000 The cost of the parade, according to the Chicago inbune, was as the meaningless plank in the Republican platiorm worth the money DELIGHTFUL RECEPTION FOR MRS. DRASSINGTON Held at Home of Mr. and Mrs. Frederick Rringhurst Mrs. Brassington Told of Interesting Experiences in Chicago and St.

Louis. Last evening, after Mrs. J. R. Rrassington hud expressed her appreciation for two tickets each for the Repub lican and ik-mocratic National Conven tions, given her by Delegate Edmund Mitchell and Delegate 1 nomas M.

Monaghan, respectively, Miss Marv ac ou exeiaiiuea, louu nave to re member those gentlemen wlion you get tne vote. 1 his was one of the manv side lights and pltAsantrics of the recep tion given Mrs. Hrassington, who is president of the Delaware State Equal Association, bv Wilmington suffragipts, last night, in honor of her re turn trom the two political conventions. It was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs.

Frederick Rrinchurst and enjoyed exceedingly by every one present. Mrs. Rringhurst Mrs. Brassington, Dr. De Lacour, president of the Wilmington association, and Mrs.

John A. Cranston, honorary State president, recciy-d. Mrs. Brassington gave a very vivid description of the suffrasgits' part in the two conventions and of her experiences in both parades, and there were musical numbers by Mis Lore and Miss Sophie Rambatski. Delaware's banner, with its Blue Hen's Chickens, attracted a great deal of interest and comment, Mrs.

Brassington stated, and she had to relate the story of the Blue lien's Chickens eeveral times. She considers it a great step torward for suffrage to have been put into both platforms, and f-he believes the woman's party will defeat the Democrats, next fall, if they don't pass the Susan B. Anthony amendment during the present session of Cor.gre?s. Dr. DLacour took issue on this and paid: "1 have no faith in the woman's party.

There are alwaj-s plenty of Prohibitionists till election dav and then they're Democrats or Republicans, und they will be euffragista till election day and then they'll be Democrats or TO MF.ET IX ATLANTIC CI TT. Mrs. Brassington announced that the State executive meeting held yesterday morning, had received a letter from Mrs. Chapman Catt, national president announcing that a national council will be held at Atlantic City, September o-10, because it is important to get in all reports and issue ail instructions for a drive on Conn ss before the presidential election. A irL-id was created by both conventions coming out for suffrage, and if the N.
