At the dub last night the business
girl was the center of a group of
Interested listeners. Fragments of con
versation containing the words “brides
maids,” “simply adorable,” “wonder

over to the Woman and Induced her
to put down the magazine and un

narrator, Just In time to hear her de
scription of the best mun.
“He was very good looking, though
rather conceited, and In responding to
the bridesmaid’s toast said: ‘All
through our school and college days
the groom and I have been the best
of friends. In games and sports I
have usually beaten him out, but in
this great race for a bride the better
man has won, and I’m sure lie’s wel
come to her.’ Of course the poor thing
meant to say: I’m sure he’s worthy of
her.’ But he can never, never explain
It away, and the bride says she cer
tainly won’t Invite him to another
wedding of hers!”

““"l HO ARE the twelve greatest living
f American women? Tills embarrassing
question is asked of the National
League of Women Voters by Senorita
Graclela Mandujano of Chile. The
Chilean woman was a delegate to the
Pan-American Conference of Women
recently held at Baltimore in connec
tion with a convention of the Na
tional League of Women Voters. She
is a writer and she wants to write
up the twelve for home publications.
The question is Indeed embarrassing.
There is, for one thing, an embarrass
ment of riches. If there were only twelve women
in the United States worthy of being named in
answer to the question, all would be well. But
the United States has so many great women—to
say nothing of the famous ones!
It's also embarrassing to the National League
of Women Voters, for the reason that to answer
ft the league must perforce name at least one
of Its own members.
And it’s embarrassing to anyone asked to draw
□p a list —there are so many tilings to be consid
ered. For example, from one viewpoint one would
naturally name the ‘‘First Lady of the Land”—
Mi's. Warren G. Harding—and from another Mary
Plckford or Mary Garden or Geraldine Farrar or
Mary Roberts Rinehart or Ida M. Tarbell or Edith
Wharton.
Again, one might name Mrs. O. H. P. Belmont
or Alice Paul of the National Woman's party or
Mrs. Maud Wood Park of the National League of
Women Voters; it depends upon whether one is
or is not militant in the matter of w>men suf
frage.
Again, If the list is to he mode up of women
vVo hove won distinction In their respective fields
of endeavor there is the difficulty that some of
the names are not widely known. Such a list
would be scorned by peopV who think only of
popularity and notoriety and publicity.
Mary Gurrett Hay, who wrote out a
list upon the request of a newspaper,
put the situation very well.
“It Is Impossible to do justice to
American women by selecting a paltry
twelve. Each person will select accord
ing to his mental bias. The women I
have chosen conform to a type that I
admire, the kind of woman who Is
highly educated, progressive, devoted
to the ideals of the new womanhood,
giving her life to serious work earnest
ly performed.’’
Anyway, flip National League of Women Voters
dodged making answer. It asked the Women’s
Joint Congressional Committee to make the selec
tion. That body also dodged full responsibility
and has announced that it will ask five prominent
men to help in the selection. And at the present
writing that is as near as Senoritn Mandujano’s
question has come to receiving what may be called
an ofllcial answer.
In the meantime scones of lists have made their
appearance—some serious, some good, some bad,
some indifferent.
In the lists the writer has seen the anmes of
eighty-three women have been given, each selected
ns one of the twelve greatest living American
women.
The observing reader has doubtless noted that
the portraits given herewith number but eight,
in addition to that of the woman who has started
all this discussion. The reason is this: the writer
would not dare to try to name the twelve greatest
women. He is merely grouping the portraits of
eight women who seem to be popular choices,
inasmuch as they appear In nearly all the lists.
It is of course a work of supererogation to name
and describe .these eight women. However, they
are:
1 — Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, New York, hon
orary president National League of Women Voters,
president International Suffrage Alliance, woman
suffragist.
2 Miss Jane Addams, Hull House, Chicago,
social worker, author iind lecturer.
3 Miss Anne Tracey Morgan. New York. Amer
ican Committee for Devastated France, philanthro
pist.
4 Miss Evangeline Cory Booth, New York, com
mander of the Salvation Army, religious worker.
5 Miss M. Carey Thomas, Bryn Mawr, Pa„ re
tiring president of Bryn Mawr college, educator
and author.
o—Mrs. Thomas G. Winter, Minneapolis, presi
dent of Ike General Federation of Women’s clubs,
club woman and writer.
7—Mrs. Harriet Taylor Upton, Warren, 0., vice
chairman Republican National Committee, suffra
gist and author.
S -Miss Alice Mary Robertson, Muskogee, mem
ber of national house of representatives from
Oklahoma, Indian educator.
Other names that frequently appear In the many
unofficial lists are these: Edith Wharton, novelist;
Ida M. Tarbell, author; Cecilia Beaux, artist; Julia
C. Lathrop, worker for children; Mrs. Raymoud
Robins, sociologist; Helen Keller, leader of blind;
Maude Adams, actress; Mme. Louise Homer,
singer; Mme. Sehumann-Helnk, singer; Mary Gar
rett Hay, club woman; Julia Marlowe, actress;
Agnes Reppller, essayist; Mary Garden, singer;
Geraldine Farrar, singer; Mary Plckford, screen
star; Mary Roberts Rinehart, novelist,,
