She is taller than you have imagined her, and her eyes arc not dark and her hair is a chestnut color. A pheasant’s wing runs around her hat and, like her husband’s, her costume is dark and simple. Also she is just a little thinner than she used to be, and she might pass lor a Boston literary woman or the associate-editor of a woman’s magazine.‘“Mrs. Stokes tells me that she' would rather not have her name mentioned,* said .a man in the Grand street hall last night. ’She not tooking for publicity.’“Mrs. Stokes, attcr sitting for some time on the platform in the Grand street headquarters, beside Her husband. while-.tAbmham Schon-bgrg. an cast side merchant, talked to the attentive jam in Yiddish, had hurried over to the big open air meeting in Rutgers Square to speak ibe.e and thus save time. It wasexplained to her self-appointedspokesman (hat Mrs. Stokes’s participation in the campaign was a matter of ‘public record,' and so was a subject for newspaper notice. Word came back (after Mrs. Stokes's return to the hall) that .what must be must be.“The item is interesting in that you grasped more and more from' it the sincerity of Mrs.' Stokes and the men and women interested with’ her; and that they arc not looking for the scare heads that the more ardent of the suffragettes seem In ,*ck, but believe they have ccflmin.work to do dnd that they qv.Stlywant to go .-/bead and do it, with 4 he ll least furbelows possible./ “The earnestness all about is con-tagious.
