This embarrassing 111 I question is asked of tho Nntlonnl I WW I Lenguo of Women Voters by Senorlta I "t I Graelela JlanduJano of Chile. Tho Chilean woman wns 11 dclegato to tho Pnn-Amerlcnn Conference of Women recently held at Baltimore In connec tion with n convention of tho Nn tlonnl Lenguo of Women Voters. Sho Is a writer nnd she wnnts to wrlto up tho twelve for homo publications. The question Is Indeed embarrassing. There Is, for ono thing, nn elnbnrfass- ment of riches. If there were only twelve women 'in tho United States worthy of being named In answer to tho question, nil would bo well. But the United States hns bo many great women to eny nothing of the famous ones I I It's also embarrassing to tho Nntlonnl League of Women Voters, for tho reason that to answer it tho lenguo must perforco namo nt least ono 'of Its own members. And It's embarrassing to nnyono asked to draw up a list thero aro so ninny things to bo consid ered. For example, from ono viewpoint ono would 'naturally namo the "First Lndy of tho Land" jMrs. Warren G. Harding and from nnother Mary ll'lckford or Mary Garden or Geraldlno Farrar or jAIary Itoberts Illnohnrt or Ida M. Tarbell or Edith JWhnrton. j Again, ono might namo Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont Kir Allro Paul of tho National Woman's party of Mrs. Maud Wood Park of tho National Lenguo of jWomen Voters; It depends upon whether ono Is for Is not militant In tho matter of women suf frage. I Again, If tho list Is to be inn do up of women vho iinve won distinction In their respective fields MMMMwBT jr ( . 4Mmw j.ltoiiW fMMMMfa JMMMMtfaMM of endenvor there Is tho, dllllculty thnt some of tho nnmea nro not widely known. Such 11 list would bo scorned by peoplo who think only of popularity and notoriety and publicity. Mary Garrett Hay, who wrote out n list upon the request of a newspaper, put the situation very well. "It Is Impossible to do Justice to American women by selecting n pnltry twelve. Each person will select accord ing to his mental bins. Tho women I have chosen conform to n tyno that I admire, tho kind of womnn who Is highly educated, progressive, devoted to the Ideals of tho now woninnuood, giving her life to serious work earnest ly performed." Anywny, tho National Lengue of Women Voters dodged making answer. It nsked the Women's Joint Congressional Committee to miike the selec tion. Thnt body nlso dodged full responsibility nnd hns announced that It will ask flvo prominent men to help In the selection. And nt tho present writing thnt Is 11 a near as Senorlta Mandujnno's question has come to receiving whnt may be cnlled nn ofllclnl answer. In the meantime, scores of lists hnvo made their appearance some serious, somo good, some bnd, BOino indifferent. In tho lists the writer hns seen the names of eighty-three women hnvo boon given, ench selected ns ono of the twelve greatest living American women. The observing render hns doubtless noted thnt tho portraits given herewith number but eight, In addition to that of tho woman who has started all this discussion. The reason Is this: tho writer would not dnrcto try to namo thei twelve greatest women. IIo Is merely grouping the portraits of eight women who seem to be populnr choices, Inasmuch as they appenr In nenrly nil the lists. It Is of course n work of supererogation to nnmo nnd describe these eight women. However, they nre: 1 Mrs. Carrie Chnpmnn Cntt, Now York, hon orary president Nntlonnl League of Women Voters, president International Suffrage Alliance, woman suffragist. 2 Miss Jane Addams, null House, Chicago, social worker, nuthor nnd lecturer. fl Miss Anne Trnccy Morgan, Now York, Amer ican Committee for Devastated Franco, philanthro pist. -1 Miss Evangeline Cory Booth, New York, com mnnder of tho Salvation Army, religious worker. 5 MIb M. Carey Thonins, Bryn Mawr, Pa., re tiring president of Bryn Mnwr college, educator and nuthor. 0 Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, Minneapolis, presi dent of tho General Federation of Women's clubs, club womnn nnd writer. 7 Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Wurron, 0 vlco chnlrmnn Ilepubllcan Nntlonnl Committee, suffrn gist nnd nuthor. 8 Miss Alice Mary Robertson, Muskogee, mem ber of nntlonnl houso of representatives from Oklahoma, Indian educator. Other names thnt frequently appear In tho many unofllclnl lists nro these: Edith Wharton, novelist; Idu M. Tarbell, author; Cecilin Bonus, artist; Julln C. Lnthrop, worker for children; Mrs. Ituymond lloblns, sociologist; Helen Keller, leader of blind; Maudo Adams, actress; Mmo. Louiso Homer, singer; Mine. Schumann-llelnk, singer; Mnry Gar rett liny, club woman; Julia Mnrlowe, nctress; Agnes lteppller, essuylst; Mnry Garden, singer; Geraldlno Farrar, singer; Mary Plckford, scrocc star; Mary Itoberts Itlnelinrt, novelist. "I Prefer Nice Little Snakes." often say that tho Blacksnnko docs da that. "In the second place1 I do not nt tnck tho rattlesnake. And why should I? IIo Is a bigger creaturo than I am. I nm a good-sized creature, It Is true. In fact, I nm very long nnd I'd be considered anywhere a good sized snnke. "But Mr. Rnttlesnnko Is not nn In teresting snake to me. lie Is too big. I prefer nice little snakes of smaller size. "I'm not nbovo eating a smnller snnke. Oh, no, I'm not nbovo thnt. And I suppose thnt Is the way the story got about thnt I nttneked the Rattlesnake. "Thnt Is tho wny with stories. They're founded, perhnps, on Just a llttlo scrap of truth, and then they arc added to and added to until they're nothing nt nil like the story wns In tho first place. "I suppose some one snld thnt we nte smaller snakes than ourselves. And then tho story was spread about and added to uutll It was said we even nte lint tlesnakcs. "I admit thnt wo do llko smaller snnkes. Wo haven't any reason for not liking them. They're very good, little snakes; that Is, snnkes smaller than wo nre wo consider very good. "But we don't go after Rattlesnnkes. Wo keep nwny from them, hiss, hiss. We don't llko Rattlesnakes. No, no Indeed hiss, hiss, hiss. "Then It has been said about us that wo go after people and Jump for them. This Is not truo nt nil. "If we nre cornered wo will fight brnvely, but wo do not go after peo ple. "We're not fond of them nnd wo keep out of the wny of them. And yet this untrue story has gone about that wo go after peoplo and that wo are very dangerous to them because wo go seeking them. "I hope that nil this gossip will bo stopped before long, for It is most unfair. "I llko to hnvo tho truth known nbout me, but I do not llko to hear, gossip. "I don't gossip nbout other snakes and I don't gossip nbout people. So I wish they wouldn't gossip nbout me I "I wish thnt tremendously. I hnvo also henrd that I can look tit n bird so that tho bird doesn't know which wny to move, and thnt I make tho bird stay quite still Just by looking nt him. "They sny that I do this so ns to capture the bird quite easily. "But I enn't look nt n bird so ho'U Ktny qulto still. I can't do nnythlng llko thnt Thnt Is a most untrue story. "If I looked nt n bird ho wouldn't Flay qulto still until I cnught him, no, In deed, I know better than thnt I "So, everybody, plcnso remember what I've snld, and don't gossip nbont tho poor old Blacksnnko. It Is most unkind, for wliut you sny Isn't truol" ' Tho Winner. A prize Is offered for tho best Slo an to stlmulnto trnvel. "Cheese It tho cops." Life.
