Suffragist in- quired, “We will gather in the home of Mra. Social Summit. Of course you have heard of her, She's one of the leaders of the ‘400,’ you know.” PRISCILLA MAKES EAGERLY PLEA FOR ADVENTURE. Priscilla did not relish the awesome drop in Suffragist's voice when she mentioned the name of Mrs. Social Summit, whose discreet contributions had done much to promote the Cause and whose indiscreet utterances had done more to discredit it. She noticed algo that Worldly Wise Woman made @ wry face when Mrs, Social Summit's name was mentioned, but, like every Pilgrim whose Progress has just be- gun, ehe was eager for adventure of any sort, so she made answer: “Oh, 2 » Worldly Wise Woman.” And Wo: reflecting that it is fragette than a Society Queen on $2 a week, and that Priscilla might be Intro- duced to Retrenchment as well as Re- form at the meeting, nodded assent, together with Sufragist, they came to the house of Mrs, Social Summit and sate themselves upon gilt chairs set for them by ited Calves, a footman, who observed them with the contempt deserved by all who approach the mansions of the rich on foot. Fatted Calves had been chosen to stand at the gate of Social Summit, not only for the nether opulence which sessed a pointer’s |and Powerful—a nose that was s fallible that had Mrs, Hetty Gr called in her everyday clgthes his sub- conscious scent would from directing her to the back door It may be gathered that Suffrage meet- Fatted Calve! even though they sup- IN WHICH THE PILGRIM IS FAS- CINATED. | Our Pilgrim was vastly interested tn Mrs, Social Summit, for never before had she beheld anything quite so gilded and stolld and insolent save the en- |shrined Buddhas in Japanese art stores, And, like @ Buddha, Mrs, Social Sum mit brooded benevolently over the as- sembled Buffragivts, Yet, 28 Priscilla soon perceived, not | of women, r horses of the movement the tal gave him his name, but because he pos- | ve saved him | plied the fragrance of Flattery and ‘the frankincense of Power to the ex- clusive nostrils of Mrs, Social Summit, of the Rich.

SIXTH ARTICLE OF A SERIES BY NIXOLA GREELEY-SMITH. While the Pilgrim was still engaged upon the int- making herself into the likeness and seeming of the women she had admired in Vanity Fair, there were many days when she ate no lunchevn and when she walked several miles to and from her work that she might purchase tawdry imitations of the gauds and gew-gaws she had seen in the Town of Vanity. Worldly Wise Woman watched with toleration this/ any time, phase in the evolution of the young girl she had sciple, for she knew that none may attain the Celestial City who does not possess ambition and a desire for improvement, and that ambition should have been directed momentarily to a wrong turn by unworthy aims, did not disturb her belief. ambition would lead the Pilgrim in the right direction the moment Priscilla found a serious interest in life— and in endeavor to set the clock of Time a few hours ahead, Worldly Wise Woman invited her friend, Suffragist, to meet her protegee, Priscilla, at tea, strangers gathered from the highways and byways of the Town of Vanity. There was Envy, in a bright green gown, who examined Mrs. Soclal Sum- mit's many jewels with disparaging eyes and then, turning to her friend, Snob, remarked: “I don't think those Pearls are real, do you?” But Snob did not hear the criticism, for she had ploughed her way through the throng that surrounded Mrs, Social Gummit and, fixing her with adoring eyes, kinsed the hem of her garments with her voice, saying: “Dear Mrs, Social Summit, z ‘want to tell you what @ treat it has been for me to meet you. Suf- frage is sure to triumph, now that YOU have taken it up. If Bondices had possessed your genius for or- @enization the Romans would never have conquered Britain. If Joan of Aro had been imbued with your courage the English would never have defeated and captured her. Catharine of Russia was a Pea nut, Queen Blizabeth a pump- kin seed compared with you. Dear ‘Mrs. Social Summit, I do hope z shall have the pleasure of meeting you again.” “Too thick—too thick," murmured Worldly Wise Woman to Priscilla, But she was wrong, For the face of the gilded Buddha was seen to smile sraciously upon Snob, and the effect ‘was as startling and. unexpected as though the iron dog of @ park land- | scape should start suddenly to wag ite tall. {SOCIAL CLIMBER’S NOSE 18 PUT OUT OF JOINT, Even the sun cannot shine every- where at once.
