IN WOMAN'S WORLD
rOR some reason the most origi
nal person in the world is hope
lessly dependent on convention
in the role of host. Which is the
reason Harry Lehr 'has become a
national rigure and Addison Mizner a
sort of social prime minister in New
York. Also the reason Mrs. Stephen
son"- chopsticks party at the Presidio
won her distinction as a hostess. It was
a departure from standard forms an ap
pendicitis dinner of the past. All rare
expressions of genius in entertaining.
Not altogether in that class, but
s*tll a strikingly novel affair, a continuous entertainment of two years
ago, a party that lasted 24 hours, though it hadn't been planned that way.
It began with a perfectly conventional theater party. There were four
young married people, that is to say, two pairs, with two other girls and
two other men all unattached. After the theater they went to one of the
cafes for M'.pper and lingered late, so late that the cafe was deserted, and
they paid the orchestra union rates for overtime.
One of the girls, who is an amateur Pavlowa. danced for her friends
and the men did monologues' and songs, and it was exceedingly gay until
5 o'clock. Too late to do anything but think of breakfast. Host and
hostess suggested the beach in their touring car with breakfast on the Cliff
house terrace, and every one went. After breakfast they wouldn't think of
home, so motored down the peninsula for luncheon at the Burlingame club.
After that back to town and a stopover for tea in the Japanese garden at
the park. There Pavlowa led a follow-the-leader line over bridges and
through winding paths to the mystification of sightseeing motorists. At
6 they had agreed to dine with the hosts, and at 8 they dined after an inter
mission to dress. At 11 the party ended. Not, however, on inspiration like
the others and the divorcee's dinner, which has never been properly cele
brated, being more an accident of originality.

THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 28, 1911.
Mrs. E. Kaeser, a
Recent Convert
Of Suffragists
Business Tact Leads
Woman to Demand
Equal Rights
Mrs. Edward Kaeser, to •whose busi
ness acumen and executive ability the
campaigners for amendment No. 8 owe i
their special train to Sacramento and !
the organization of the various bodies
into a boosting army at the state fair,
\s one of the newest converts to the
suffrage cause, and for that reason her
activities are the more interesting.
"I always have been a business
woman," said Mrs. Kaeser, "and I am
accustomed to an active, strenuous life.
Yet. in spite of my contact with the j
business world, until a few months ago
I was as active in opposing equal suff
rage as I am now ardent in the pro
motion of the cause. I now realize
the absurdity of my opposition to the
movement, and my work in the present
campaign is in atonement for my past
error.
"In the business world I am inter
ested in mines and the development of
mines. These are the same as men's
interests. 1 am a woman of energy
and strenuous action and I came to
realize that while my business and my
work were those of a man I did not
hare the right to protect my interests
nor express my opinions through the
ballot.
"There are hundreds of women liv
ing just such active lives, working
capably under the laws in the same
field with men without the privilege
of shaping or directly criticising the
laws or the law makers. We need the
ballot just as the working girl,- the
woman in the home, the housekeeper,
and the public spirited clubwoman
need it for their protection and their
better expression."
Mrs. Kaeser is chairman for the
forty-second district in the Equal Suff
rage league of San Francisco. She was
chairman of the committee that hired
a special train and assembled all the
suffrage organizations of the city un
der one flag to storm Sacramento dur
ing the season of the state fair.
Suffragettes Make
Host of Converts
To Their Cause
MARY ASHE MILLER
[Special Dispatch to The Call]
SACRAMENTO, Aug. 27.—Although
the woman's suffrage party's "Yellow
Special" train left for San Francisco
this afternoon after resting here since
Friday, it is not felt that suffrage in
terest has departed. The scores of
suffragists who have been here the
last three days say that their converts
are to be numbered by the hundreds
At the state fair the racehorses
which trotted paced or galloped to vic
tory wore "votes for women" cam
paign buttons on their bridles. The
Hawaiians who sang in the pineapple
booth, declared themselves suffragists
and adorned their snowy costumes with
buttons.
Along with the prize irrapes and
peaches, the mam- ioth pumpkins and
cornstalks, the managers of the vari
ous county exhibits showed placards
of severely caustic or g&ntly winning:
nature exploiting: amendment S and
woman's need for the ballot. Social
ists, "Roaring Camp" proprietors and
prize pljf owners wore yellow ribbons
and pledged themselves to vote as they
were asked October 10.
So successful has the "Yellow
Special" proved that a long distance
telephone call from San Jose haa
reached Mrs. Edward Kaeser, manager
of the special, a.sking her to repeat her
success a month hen^e in the Santa
Clara valley.
\ Mrs Kaeser land the other "members
•of <' the woman's *; suffrage J; party are
rejoicing:- over the success iof ; v their,
visit "andi~ say that an equally gayly
: decorated'; special will 2go from San
! Francisco; down the peninsula to San
i Jose, where a royal welcome is assured
i them. . ■ * • ' ,
H The street meeting last night with
the addresses from automobiles has
aroused much enthusiasm among- some
of the adherents;f of the cause, which
others condemn the "militant" methods
i and prefer the more refined means of
parlor meetings. . *, ■..-.' . *
Most of the out of town suffragists
left today in one direction or another,
but'; relays fotV fresh speakers, venders
of literature and button bestowers will
'. arrive tomorrow and everything will ;
i be done to lead up to the culminating
event of the monster rally here Friday
night. \- , . " .' • „\ ; •
Mrs. Lillian Harris s Coffin and her
lieutenants left this morning, but will
■ : return in a few days. Mrs. Coffin will
"got to Nevada City for a large garden
party that >Is to be given at the I home
of Senator Englebright. Mr*. Hattie
Bufflngton of Nevada City is in charge
of the arrangements for this event
' . The seed of -\;suffrage"^ has been
planted so firmly in the Capital City,
the workers say, that it will prove a
center of inspiration for all "superior
California."

Paris Bonnichon,
Latest Thing in
Dainty Millinery
Lace, Frill and Rose
Confection Takes
Place of Hat
The bewitching bonnichon Is the
latest thing in millinery. This Jainty
confection is of Parisian origin and
American adoption. It has been intri
duced to wear with lingerie gowns and
to take the place of a hat with thea
ter or lawn party costumes. Indeed,
it may be worn with any smart and
pretty toilette.
The bonnichon shown in the picture
has a foundation of lace net with
foamy frills of lace and little pink
roses.. At one side the roses are
grouped so as to form a buckle shape.
The bonnichon is youthful, becom
ing and dressy. In the gown shown
in the picture, the Russian motif is
charmingly emphasized. The material
is white Japanese crepe decorated with
black and white striped marquisette.
The tunic, in Russian style also, is
of the same materials. Pink roses add
a touch of delicate color, in such a
manner as to bring out the rose note
in the trimming design.
UNION MEN INDORSE
SUFFRAGE CAMPAIGN
Pledges of support that Mrs. B. H.
O'Donnell, president of the Wage
Earners' Equal Suffrage league and
Miss Maud Younger have received from
the trade unions they have visited in
the last seven weeks indicate that the
working men are going to vote al
most unanimously for amendment No.
8.
There are 185 unions in this city and
the l<*aders of the workers' league have
visited more than half since July 1
and by the end of this month, they
will have spoken before them all. They
carry with them the indorsement of the
Labor Council, the Building Trades
Council and every labor paper in the
city. They have visited from two to
six unions each evening and in almost
every instance the equal suffrage
propaganda has been indorsed unani
mously.
The postal clerks gave their indorse
ment by a rising vote in which every
man in the hall rose to his feot Sat
urday night. The pattern makers
pledged themselves to a man and the
brewers union recently published its
approval of the suffrage cause volun
tarily.
The campaign has been carried on
without funds yet the working women,
who are compelled to confine their
suffrage activities to a few hours each
evening, have won the indorsement of
the great majority of their colleagues,
the working men.
The biggest rally in the campafarn for
suffrage will be held Thursday night
in the Valencia theater where Raymond
Robins of Chicago and Miss Margaret
Haley will be the principal speakers.

Rue C .Miller,
Of Wage Earners'
Suffrage League
Food Winning Women
Want Ballots for
Civic Welfare
RUE CAROLYN MILLER
That the gift of citizenship would be
•egarded as a valuable asset by the
ilert wage earning: woman is proved
•very day by the interest the women
.yorkers of San Francisco are taking in
:he struggle for the eighth amendment.
It is the busy woman, according- to
:he old saw, who has the most time.
Therefore, the chivalrous fear that
»ome men are now showing lest women
Uiould have too much "responsibility"
ooks ill timed to the great army of
tvomen workers who have been allowed
to toil unmolested, working out their
?conomic freedom as best they might.
Some civic responsibility and less
Irudgery would have an amazing
ssychological benefit on the wage
earning woman herself, leaving out all
talk of how much we are going to
'purify politic*."
Who is more in touch •with the civic
welfare, is more interested in street
car service, clean streets, sanitary
buildings and reputable police officers
:han the working woman who daily
joes to and fro on industrial errands,
jften compelled to go into districts that
ire not considered quite safe after
light?
The wage earning woman wonders
why there should be any slums when
she knows there are so many clean,
lecent, cheerful women workers in the
ivorld that are friends of hers, and the
■nen she knows are honest, industrious
md on the square.
The average wage earner by the time
she has reached voting age has much
•xecutive ability and an intelligence
sharpened by daily contact with "the
world."
Miss Younger and her coworkers,
among whom are Mrs. O'Donnell and
Mrs. L.a Rue, have been treated with
great courtesy by the working men
whom they have addressed in the cause
of votes for women.
The wage earning woman wants the
ballot for about the same reasons that
any woman wants it. She needs it
even more. San Francisco has its
normal proportion of the 7,000,000
breadwinners that the American flag
is supposed to protect. She has learned
from her brother worker that his in
terests may be greatly bettered by his
vote, and that he has a voice in local,
state and national affairs, thus broad
ening the horizon and giving a vision
of the Hills of Possibility—beautiful
hills.
A NEWPORT FAD
Mrs. Reginald Vanderbilt has set a
new fad for Newport society by going
crabbing in her bare feet, and, follow
ing her example, a score of hostesses
are. now supplying their chafing dishes
with crabs of their own catching.
A plunge in comfortably heated ocean
salt water at the Lurline Baths before
breakfast makes the day's work easy.
Baths open at 6 a. m. and until 10
p. m. Bush and Larkin streets.

EXTRACT PROM THE SEPT. NUMBER OF THE LADIES' HOME JOURNAL,
There are various reasons why stenciling should make a strong appeal to
those who have never before thought of applying their tastes and talents to any gu
art or craft. The process is exceedingly simple to acquire and the initial outlay
for materials and utensils is very slight. Like any other handicraft, stencil work JU

Helps and Hints for the
Home Nurse
TO have to wait on a sick person, in addition to
doing one's regular work, is hard, no matter how
well beloved the invalid.
Every one who has ever tried amateur nursing knows
that.
But there is one thing-even more trying. And that it
to be obliged to be waited on by some one who has other
work to do, no matter how well intentioned and af
fectionate the nurse. Every one who has ever been
amateur nursed must emphatically realize that.
For the sake both of the amateur nurse and the
amateur nursee, may I suggest a few simple rules gained
from experience on both sides of the fence.'
Before bringing up the tray stand to the patient
imagine yourself eating the meal spread upon it. By
doing this you may recall to mind any implement or accessory such as
spoon or fork or salt or sugar, which you have forgotten. These things
seem small to you. but to the patient they mean much. He does not like
to ask you to go downstairs for the salt, and yet the absence of it may spoil
his egg for him. . . „, .
If you are obliged to be absent for some time, give your invalid a piece
of paper and a pencil that he may write down any request that occurs to him
during your absence and not have to carry them in his head.
Tidy up the room, and especially the bed, frequently. We all know
how cluttered with magazines and books and so forth a sick bed can become.
We don't realize how much such confusion tires. A student of labor condi
tions says that a bricklayer can't do his work half so well when standing on
a cluttered floor. The patient himself may not fully realize the bad effect
of the clutter, but he suffers from it just the same.
\cquire if you can the fine art of arranging pillows. Most people when
called upon to arrange pillows simply plump down a couple at your back
and let it go at that. I don't think one can sit up comfortably in bed with
less than three pillows. And they should be scientincally arranged to
support the middle of the back, the shoulders and the head.
Have your patient sit up in a big easy chair instead of in bed, when
possible, as sitting up in bed is tiring. .
Never forget how much longer time seems to the invalid reckoning tn
terms of pains and ennui than it does' to you reckoning in terms of activity.
Do not insist upon doing things for the invalid when he feels' that you
are overtaxing yourself. Fretting over this may do him more harm than
your service would do good. ... jr.
\nd above all things, remember that unless you give in love and for
bearance and cheerfulness, the value of your service is nil. For grudging:
service to the sick is quite as cruel as neglect.
Suffragists to Serve
On Central Committee
For State Campaign
As the date for the popular decision
on amendment No. 8 approaches the
suffrage workers of the city and state
realize the necessity for an organiza
tion closer than that which has ex
isted. While the women have been
doing excellent work as leagues, asso
ciations and clubs and have covered
almost every inch of the state, their
confidence in the outcome of the elec
tion October 10 does not preclude a
knowledge of the advantages to be
gained by presenting a solid front and
carrying on the campaign from a defi
nite end.
For this reason they have appointed
a central campaign committee that will
have the direction of the serious work
of the final six weeks of the state can
vass for votes. On this committee are
Mrs. Frank Beefing of the College
Equal Suffrage league, Mrs. Robert
Deane of the woman's suffrage party,
Miss Maud Younger of the Wage Earn
ers Suffrage league. Mrs. Aylett Cotton
and Mrs. Grant Taylor.
The numerous organizations that
have been carrying on the campaign
more or less independently grew out
of clubs that were formed before there
was any campaign for the purpose of
stimulating various classes of -women
to activity in promoting women's mV
terests. While they worked to this end
alone they were effective, but as the
fate of the cause rests on the events
of one day in October the leaders of
the various bodies feel the need of a
better organization than the friendly
co-operation of the independent
leagues. Hence Ihe organisation of
the central campaign committee to di
rect the campaign throughout the state
for the next six weeks.
