My HEART and
My HUSBAND
.By ADELE. GARRISON
Federation
Notes
The Woman's Literary club of
Dayton, O., through its Americani
zation committee has produced and
published a play, "Builders of a
Nation," written and arranged by
Barbara Frajicts Wedd. It is said
to have especial value in our evalua
tion 0"f American history and tradi
tion, It is "concerned with the mak
ing of the Constitution." From that
angle the play has merit because it
seems as an historic comment on
the making of the league of nations
covenant.
The department of literature and
library extension -of the General
Federation of Women's clubs, urges
wtsnen's clubs everywhere to pro
duce this play for their communi
ties, : not necessarily assuming the
parts, but taking responsibility for
its historic truth and proper pro
duction. The book of the play can be se
cured from the Committee, Wom
en's' Club House, Dayton, O., at a
small charge. '
Another play that is timely and
written for club production, is
"Slanilish of Standish," by Annie
Russell Marble, Worcester, Mass.
This is based upon the book of that
name and faithfully reproduces life
in Plymouth during the period of
the Pilgrims greatest hardship.- It
is suitable ip connection with ob
servance of the tcr-centenary of
the ' Pilgrim settlement- For per
mission to act and ,811 details write
directly to Mrs. Marble.
The Summons That Came in the
-Night.
The insistent ringing of the tele
phone awakened me from a troubled
slumber in the night following the
writing of our invitations to Robert
Savarin, a slumber haunted by
dreams in which Lillian, Harry
Underwood and the artist figured
fantastically. ,
For a lew seconds I lay in that
transition between sleeping and
waking when one's faculties are
scattered and need a strong tug to
assemble them . again. Then I
switched on the tight light, pulled
on slippers and bathrobe, and. hur
ried out to the branch telephone in
the hall upstairs. It is always rny
lot to answer the .telephone if it
rings in the middle of the night My
father's room is too far from it for
hjni to hear it, my mother-in-law's
frailness put her out of the question,
while as for Dicky, whether walk
ing or sleeping, he pays no attention
to either phone or door bell.
"Let 'em ring. It's nothing in my
young life,'' I have heard him say
sleepily, regardless of the fact that
any sort of emergencymight be the
cause ot tne unnmeiy message.
Alfred Durkee's voice came over
the phone, agitated, tense;
"That you, Madge? Can you come
over right away? - Mother's fallen
downstairs I don't know how badly
sire's hurt' but"
."I'll be there in a minute or 'two,"
I said quickly. "Go back to her."
Dicky Is Startled.
I rushed back to my room, thrust
my feet into stockings and tennis
shoes, the quickest thing to fasten,
drew a skirt and middy over my
nightdressand thrusting my sleeves
into a sweater as I went, I was out
of my door when I heard Marion's
rvoice in a frightened whisper.
"Has anything happened to
... ... -
moinerr , v
"No darling, I said quickly,
knowing that the quickest way to
allay her fears was to tell her the
truth. "But Auntie Durkee has had
a bad fall, and I am going over to
take care of her. Will you take
care of Junior if he wakes up?"
"I'll stay awake until you come
back," she promised, "but please
leave the light on a little, won't
you?"
"Surely, darling," I said, "and I'll
be back as soon as I can."
As I ran down the hall to Dicky's
room I looked at my wrist watch.
One o'clock! What had my little
neighbor been doing on the stairs
at this hour. I knew that unless she
had guests for an evening party she
always went to bed at about 11.
I rushed into Dicky s room and
put my hand upon his shouder. He
sprang up, startled.
What the devilr he ejaculated.
then with quick alarm, "Junior!
What Alfred Feared.
"Mrs. Durkee has - fallen down
stairs, I said. Alfred just tele-
honed. I ra on my way over. You d
etter telephone Dr. Gibson for fear
Alfred hasn't had time. I'll tell
him you're doing it, then come" on
over. Marion is awake and looking
after Junior."
"Of all the rot. How do you
know it's, serious enough for a doc
tor. There you go again butting
into other people's affairs. Did Alf
ask you to telephone?" '
"He didn't have time," I said
frigidly, moving toward the door.
"But please don't trouble yourself
either to telephone or get up. Al
fred and I will no doubt be able
to manage." ' ' . " '
I am afraid I shut the door with
more emphasis than was necessary
for the reDose of the sleepers in.
the house. But I have seldom been
so angry at Dicky as I was at that
moment. It .was, however, but one
of a number of similar incidents,
and I do not think Dicky is alone
among men in his conventional hor
ror, ot taking the initiative iir an
other family's emergency.
With redoubled haste I went
downstairs to the side door open
ing upon the lawn adjoining the
Durkee place. The lock gave me
some unexpected trouble, and I lost
a full minute before I succeeded in
opening it. As I finally swung the
door wide I heard Dicky's voice
at the telephone upstairs asking for
Dr. Gibson's number, and I smiled
as I spedi across the lawn at the
discrepancy between Dicky's "bark
and bite."
The Durkee door was locked and
I rang the bell. A moment later,

to you, and after I came back she
wouldn't be moved. Just a minute

Special Sessions
In Two States
Will Ratify
"Only death or dishonor I'u de
feat ratification in West Virginia,"
was the watchword at national head
quarters prior to ratification by
that state.
With West Virginia won, and
Washington and Delaware meeting
in special session March 22, the
struggle is over. Of the situation
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, presi
dent of the . National American
Woman Suffrage, astociation, says:
"People who have followed "the
course of woman suffrage from the
outside with indifference or small
understanding of what has been at'
stake will have no comprehension of
the real message which the West
Virginia-victory carries to women.
To us it means that the nation is
won, that the 70-year struggle is
over, that the women of America
are enfranchised women. West Vir
ginia is the 34th state to ratify. The
governors of Delaware and Wash
ington have already called special'
sessions for those states. We know
that they will ratify. We are sure
that Connecticut likewise will, for
good meisure. We have come to
the end, the attainment, after a
struggle which for 70 years has
known :ot a moments respite.
"Three generations of women- have
keen engulfed in it and given their
best to it.
"Suffrage is won!
"The words are simple but they
thrill as few words do or can,
. "And now whatever comes out of
granting the suffrage to women, it is
safe to predict that it will never be
responsible for any offering to the
general welfare except those things
which hau: ..been well considered
and intelligently endorsed. " Suf
fragists have had a training which
few men or women have had, a!nd it
h.ns led them to a knowledge of mass
psychology, an understanding of
the individual, and a familiarity with
public, questions which few groups
qf people possess. All this will now
be directed toward making the bal
lot a telling and useful agency for
the good of the nation."

wide fame. Unmarried.
