When the Pilgrim journeyed from the home of Social Summit—headquarters of Suffrage—to the abode of Social Pinnacle—inner circle of AntiSuffrage—she felt as if she were leaping from crag to crag of the Delectable Mountains of Society, and the altitude dazed Well it might. To be transported suddenly into an atmosphere 6,000 feet above the ordinary social level is just as dis- tunbing as to journey from New York into the rarified air of Colorado Springs, 6,000 feet above the sea level. It was some time before Priscilla got either her vreath or her bearings in the home of Social Pinnacle, and when she dig, she found herself surrounded by a flock of well-gowned women and one tottering old gentleman, who was in- troduced as Platitude, and who, in the quality of shepherd, beamed benevo- lently in all directions on the meek ewe jambs whom he was endeavoring to keep within the fold of True Womanliness. “I am, indeed, glad to meet you, my dear child,” sald Platitude, taking “My dear friend, Anti-Suffragist, tells me that you are a brand rescued from the burning; that she found you attending a meet- ing of those misguided women who are endeavoring to assert their equality with man in deflance of the belief and practice of centuries.

At this moment a slight lull in the conversation permitted the Pligrim to hear a remark poured by Cant into the sympathetic ears of Platitude, “Who will mind the baby when wom- en go to the polls?” walled Cant. Who, indeed?” echoed Platitude as Profegsional Mother hurried off to catch her train, Priscilla turned pleadingly to World- ly Wise Woman. “I have looked and om Priscille’s arm. But the Pilgrim, whose face had flushed hotly during the heated col- loquy between Slush and Worldly Wise Woman, drew back. “I think when a kiss is made an argument it 1s one of the most immoral things in the world,” she said dis- gustedly, and turned away. “Nonsense, my dear," called Antl- Suffragist, running after her. “When| you grow older you will learn how true it is that women have always ruled the world, but never with their heads, Come with me, I want you to meet m; dear friend, Professional Mother."
