It is much shorter than any of Mre. Burnett's stories of the past twenty years, but is clever of its kind. The heroine is a simple, but handsome and well bred, English girl, past 30 and with- out a permanent home, yet with qualities that make her useful to many women of tocial prominence. How she be- e a marchioness is explained unexpectedly, after some descriptions of people and dolngs at an En- glish country house, descriptions some of quite as realistic as some of that shocked English soclety many years ago.

Callahan's attorneys objected to having Mr. Boyles refer to his shorthand notes in answering the questions asked him con- cerning the defendan! tements, and maintained that he should tesths only from memory, but their objections were over- ruled.

Every detail of the story Callahan told about being at the home of his sl At Fifty-third and Plerce streets time the kidnaping took place was re- viewed.

Every inch of the ground was con- tested. During the morning the crowd in the criminal court room was small, and there seemed to be but little interest in the case. Most of the llsteners were jurors who were waiting to be summoned {n some other court court and selected seats in the crimi- nal court room rather than in the cor- ridor: Callahan followed all the testimony very closely and consulted with his attorneys frequently. He was dressed in a neat-fit- ting suit and immaculate linen.

Mrs. Catt sald “Our stromgest hope for suZrage did lle with the west, but since the action of New York in granting the taxpayers suffrage and the extension of the rights of women in other eastern sections started, we feel that the brightest outlook is there. One of the most recent projects, and one from which we expect to reallse much, s the international conference to be held at Washington, D. C., February 12 to 18, to which all the ecivilized nations of the world have been invited to send representa- tives “Although the work has beem in progress for some time, littls has been said of this meeting, as we wished to know what to plan on before advertising it. ““We now have the co-operation of Eog- and, Canada, Russia and A success of the project is assured.

There are at present fourteen countries that strong woman's firage organ and as all the nations of Europs with the exception of Greece, Bpain, Portu- gal and Belglum, grant their women suffrage in some degree, we will have abundant co-operation In securing such a collection of information.’ NOVEL PARTY FOR MRS. CATT Omaha's Society and Clabwomen En- Fully 150 of Omaha’'s prominent socfety and clubwomen assembled at Union station yesterday afternoon to participate in the station party held there between 3 and 4:30 o'clock In honor of Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman's Suffrage assoclation, who was passing through the city enroute to Fre- mont. Though there was a liberal sprink- ling of men {n the party it was really a women's affair, a combination of tea party and informal reception, which proved de- cidedly novel and wholly delightful. One corner of the big ition dining room had been cleared and a tea table arranged there décorated with bunches of yellow chrysan- themums. Here Mrs. G. W. Wattles, Ml Mary Barker, Mrs. Cornish and Miss Marsh served tea, while a [ittle further down the room Mrs, C. W. Damom Introduced Mrs. Catt, Mrs. George Tilden, Mrs. C. 8. Lo- bingler, Mre. C. C. Belden and Mrs. Coe being among the women in line. There was also a liberal representation of Coumell Bluffs women present. The gathering of smartly dressed women in one corner of the busy station, intent upon soclability, presented a novel pictul but the women themselves were obliviol to the evident interest of the onlookers and as, between their gossip, they sipped their tea from the somewhat m: .- ware supplied by the station, it mattered little to them that the cups required the support of both their hands. The affair proved quite as enjoyable as though it had been provided in the most exclusive drawing room or with the finest china. Mrs. Catt received each one with that charming earnestness of manner that b won her such widespread popularity and the time for her departure arrived all too soon. As she left the station she was presented with a huge bunch of flowers. Though de- cidedly an innovation, the station party proved one of the most enjoyable affairs of the fall.
