The city has just held an election which has shown New Britain to be fortunate in the possession of an In- telligent ‘electorate. In that election the women played an important part. One likes to think of the women who went to the polls Tuesday and voted, as real women, possessing all the fine attributes of true womanhood and never forgetting, in their political in- ter@ets, that it is the great army of " women of the world who have done the most to keep our stan ds high. It is the sincere hope that as women eome more and more into politics there will be less and less likelihood of scandals such as those developed recently in Washington, And so one mentions the organiza- tion connection with which the exprossion “a bousuet of sweet peas” was used, The Herald has expressed 1ts appreciation of the spirit of the organization here known as the Busi- ness and Professional Women's club, 1t is not especially in further praise of this organization that this is writ- ten, The, club has a standing here | which all people recognize as splendid. | 1t necds no fulsome compliments from | snyone, d It i an incident, rather, which calls for notice, symbolical as that incidgpt was of the atmosphere which should be maintained in all women's organizations, no matter how practical the affairs of life with which they deal “U'pon’the acceplance of the presi- dency,” reads the news story, “Miss weld large bouquet of sweet pea The organization to the presidency of which she was elected is an organi- wation composed of business and pro- fessional The object for which they have become are extremely practical.
