The latest call for Mrs. Stewart came from south Dakota. where the question is to be betted to the voters in 1514. On July I she attended the annual conventionlof the South Dakota Equal Suffrage association held at Huron.

Al the interest in suffrage is nation-wide, ans the barriers of locality have given way, Stewart's story of the South Dakota campaign, which she has been good enough to ergs for THE TRIBUNE, will be of great in-wrest to the women of Illinois. four or five women under the leadership of the president.

During the troublesome times that followed this double assassination these two princess then quite young men, took part in many uprisings and naturally sided with the branch of the family to which they belonged. In the end, it was the cousin, now King Peters who was elected to reign, and as a result of their affiliation with the opposite side their stipend was withdrawn and they, with their mother, were banished from Servia.

The French Derby Sunday was run before a crowd larger than ever has been gathered at Chantilly, and never, even in the days of the great and all powerful when picturesque little town was representative of all that was smartest in France, have there been so many celebrated people, so many lovely women, and such a showing of fashion in clothes.

As always upon such occasions American women were to the fore and wore some of the prettiest gowns at the meeting. White was their prevailing color and of a Et yl that might be called simple, but it was a simplicity that had its origin in the Rue de It Paix and had no relation whatever to anything home made that usually goes with the word. Mrs. W. K.

Vanderbilt, who always is preterit at the races w'aen her husband's horses run, was a noticable figure in an ivory white embroidered net with girdle and sash of pale yellow. Her hat was of the same shade. with just a touch of black to relieve It and she carried a parasol of yellow chiffon. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, who was with also wore white, a charming frock of crepe de chine trimmed with some exquisite lace, and a black hat, and another woman in the same party, Mrs.

Another group of women Included Mn.

Belmont looked unusually attractive, and as it was her first appearance since her arrival this summer, she was constantly surrounded by friends, American. French, and English. Of smart French women there were scores present, including the Princess Murat, the Baroness Herne de Rothschild, looking beautiful in bright purple chiffon and a black Chantilly hat; the Marquise de Noailles, with one of the prettiest dresses seen, white chiffon trimmed with countless ruches and a darling white hat on which was a bright yellow paradis plume, and the Countess de Pourtales, who wore mauve and a mauve and cerise hat, which was awfullychic.

Of the Heart Undaunted. How Lave they the heart to take up this Laitie again so soon? I marveled at the quiet, unboastful doggedness which bringa them back to the struggle which worsted them three times. Whence comes such strength? Probably none can fathomto say nothing of defining the power that is relentlessly sending them back to the tight. They may never have thought of evolutionary compulsion in this connection. nor dreamed that the battlefield of the womanhood of the world is transferred for the present to these isolated Perhaps they did.

I only know that my soul was quickened and my faith in womanhood incleased as I watched them gird on, their armor. But as It looked from the window of my car On my way from Huronalross the green and rolling prairies and fields, I perceived a new token.

As I looked from the car windows over the unending Dakota prairies it occurred to me that all such broad expanses should be peopled by far visioned citizens. After an ignominous suffrage defeat in New Hampshire one time a bitter spirited suffragist took comfort in the gibe of Emer- son: The God that made New Hampshire peopled the lofty state with little It was with some such sense of ironical contrast I recalled the ugly fact that three times had the men from these claims and ranches left in the kitehens the women who had shared their pioneer hardships, had gone to the polls and deliberately voted to keep them in political serfdom.

At the first election they had even taken pains to add insult to injury by conferring upon the male Indians of South Dakota the citizenship which they denied to their own mothers and daughters. I thought of Susan B. Anthony, at that time over 70 years old, spending six months in that first campaign, speaking and sleeping in all sorts of crude shacks and often driving in wagons twenty or thirty miles between appointments.

After the smoke of the battle had passed and the women saw inscribed their ignominious political rating. it was the reassuring voice of the dauntless leader that lifted them from the dust with the words: Never mind. There will be other elections, and some day you win." Ten years later they repeated the effort. and again in 1910 after still another decade.

Alexis Chooses Army. Prince Alexis' tastes did not lie in this direction, but In much lesepeaceful ones. He Joined the French army and servEd in several countries, and -after a certain length of time he offered his services to Servia and these were accepted. Just before the beginning of the Balkan war a reconciliation took place between the prince and King Peter, and after this the government restored their pension to his family. Prince Alexis' position now in his own country is of the best, for during these years there have been many deaths and now there remains Crib- one old and feeble life before he becomes the head of the Karageorgevich branch of the family.

To be sure, King Peter reigns, but given brains and money it might just as easily be King Alexis.

gain full suffrage, for the men of the state will give the right to them of their own accord. There will not be a political party in Illinois. it is claimed by politicians, that will not put a full suffrage plank in its platform. The work of the state association now is to continue the formation of civic leagues composed of men and women, these leagues to be strictly nonpartisan and organized for the purpose of discussing political problems. Through these leagues women will be educated for their duties as citizens, and incidentally men will be educated.

A man interested in big civic problems said to me the other day: Equal suffrage is going to do more the we can possibly imagine toward arousing men to their civic responsibilities, so while the passage of the suffrage bill added a million and one-half women voters, it will cause the enlightenment of many male Colony Regrets Loss of Masons. The news that Frank Mason has resigned his post of consul general for the United States in Paris has created a widespread feeling of regret here, especially among the American colony. Mr. Mason came to Paris backed up by a long official record and a List of many friends. He has added, some years to this honorable record and his filende here are alraost countless.

Whatever is doing in the official and social life of this city he is of it and during his term of service here he has met the great from every country of the world. To the people from home he has always been accessible and there have been many of his fellow countrymen who have been indebted to him for kindnesses that did not aecessarily come within his province. In leaving his post he is taking with him the respect of the colony here for his many sterling qualities and his unfailing attention and good will. But it is to Mrs. Mason the heart of the colony goes out.

An intense enthusiasm for a widespread edueational campaign has developed and witle it has risen the question.

Why have we sot the full suffrage just as the nine other states where the women have been enfranchised?" Requests come in constantly for an of the One woman writes: "My friends tell me we are no better off than the women of England who have had znunicipal suffrage for years. Why did not ear suffrage lobby at Springfield get us the full voter Many think it would have been a simple matter to convince the legislature that the suffrage amendment should have been considered instead of the hill. Mrs. Grace Wilbur Trout, president of the Illinois Equal Suffrage association, and the general who led the lobby at Springfield to victory when it seemed scarcely possible, has written an explanation of what seemed to those unfamiliar with the constitution of the state the unusual procedure of the suffragists at the capitol. full suffrage to women.

This resolution has always been referred.to a committee, and has never once been recommended out of tile c3comittee. As our peculiar constitution admits of but one amendment being submitted to tho people at a time, and to pass an amendment requires a majority of all the votes cast at an the suffragiEts of the state hove always realized it would be absolutely necessary to pass the suffrage bill before we could ever hope to pass a suffrage amendment in Illinois. Other Amendments in the Way. This year, as a number of the men were deeply interested in the initiative and referendum, the tax reform amendment, and the amending clause, and as but one of these amendments could be submitted to the people at a time. they advised us not to Introduce our constitutional amendment and thus antagonize many of our best friends.

They said that while it was merely a matter of form. the Jr troduction of ur resolution would antagonize many. and it was foolisn to Jeopardize the passage of the bill simply for the sake of having a suffrage resolution die In committee as it had done for several decades. At the state convention the past legislative chairman recommended that the suffrage bill be introduced in the next legislature as it always had been, and the convention veted aye on the propositions. The question was thoroughly discussed by the state board and it was voted by them not to Introduce the resolution for an amendment until after the passage of the suffrage bill.

It was deemed that to obstruct the passage of the bill would be going contrary to the wish of the convention I' 1 1 a 1 1 i 1 i 1 i I 4 4 i 1 I i A 4 3 4 i 1 i 1 I i I I I 1 I i I i 1 1 1 i 1 1 I i 4, 1 1 I 4 I 1 i I I 4 4 I 1 lilli' Voted from Conviction. The passage of the suffrage bill at Springfield was due to the splendid cooperation manifested not only through our suffrage organization in Chicago but through our suffrage organizations throughout Illinois. Men as well as women responded to our calls for assistance. and the legislators themselves were loyal to the cause. No man voted for bill because some other man voted for it.

because he did not know how the other man was going to vote. The work done was all quiet educational work. Suffrage literature was sent to the families of legislators so that they could study it over Sunday. and the men who voted for the equal suffr age bill voted for It not under any party lash but from personal conviction that eithe- it was the right thing to do or it was politically wise to vote for the suffrage bill. We are particularly indebted also to our friends of the press.

The newspapers stood back of us and helped us in every way. They have all offered to help us in every way to help carry on our big educational work throughout Illinois." Paris Never Dull. There were a number of dinners given by the residents of Ctanti lly after the races, these including one by the George Monroes, the Rothschilds. Jean Stern, Elliott Shepard, Baron de Neuttize and a lot of others. Without exception their guests Included Americans and at some houses these were far in excess of French or English.

Only two more great days of the spring racing season are left, these to take place on each successive Sunday. After that many people will go for a few weeks to the sea or to some one of the many springs about here. As fast as these leave. however, their places will be taken by others, for during the warm months Paris is never dull. Then it is that the nights at Pre Cate lan begin, the afternoon dances at Madrid, the particular nights for each restaurant in the Bois, and all the summer theatricals and music hall evenings up and down the Champs Elysees.

Each day's lists of arrivals grow longer and longer and not only are all the hotels filled. but any one possessing a house or apartment here is apt to have it occupied by guests. Mrs. Charles Barnes returned from Switzerland a few days ago and is once more in her charming apartment in the Champs Elysees. Mrs.

Clinch-Smith, who was so desperately ill during most of the winter and who has later been taking a cure in Switzerland, returned with her mother, Mrs. Barnes. I saw the former at the international tennis tournament two afternoons ago, looking better than for years and especially stunning in her heavy mourning, which she still wears. Later Mrs. Barnes and Mrs.

Clinch-Smith will go to the seashore. but not until after the Paris season is over. Some Recent Arrivals. Mrs. George Armour, with her daughter, axrived a few days ago from New York.

Miss Armour is an exceedingly pretty girl and reminds one strongly of her mother in her younger years. They are not remaining long In Paris, but are maleng a trip through the provinces and will return here some time during the autumn. The Duchess de Chaulnes and her mother and sister, Mrs. and Miss Shonts, are among others recently arrived. Mrs.

Shonts juts an apartment here in the Avenue Hoche, and there the party is stopping for a time. but later the ducheas goes to the country with her infant son and may possibly remain there during the summer. In spite of all that has been said to the contrary, the duchess is a favorite with her late husbands family, which includes that most autocratic of all French women, the Duchess d'ISzes, and as long as the former Miss Shonts remains under her wing it is certain that everything will go well, and so her future life in Paris as long as she chooses to make it her home is likely to be an agreeable one. Mrs. William H.

Taft, wife of the ex-president, is a new arrival here and is staying at a hotel, where are also the Percy Morgans and Mr. and Mrs. Chauncey Depew. Mrs. Marshall Field was here for a few days, but has now left on an automobile tour through northern Italy and later will go to Aix-lesBains for the rest of the summer.

Mrs. L. L. Partridge, Mr. and Mrs.

Frederick Bode, and Mrs H. B. Craig of Chicago are in the city. The Duke of Westminster heard of the defeat of the English polo team while in Paris, where he Is still stopping. Although he is responsible for the finances of that team.

Trout, many questions are being asked about the difference between the aid-frog, bill and a resolution asking for a suffl ge amendment.
