By Nora Ball Ragsdal*.

STie'a a new-comer In Terre fTatlte, i this young woman. Miss Cornelia Warner. But she's a business woman and has demonstrated herself as such hv falling into line with things that are In Terra Haute and has quite at once become a Terra Hautean. Miss Warner is one of the very interested members of tho Business Women's FMieratlon. She's a corsetiere by profession, but a woman's woman first of all. "This is certainly woman's day," Miss Warner'aaid in an interview. "The Woman who doesn't get what she wants now, doesn't merit it, that's all. It's the opportunity of ages that women have o£ proving to the world what's in them. And as a woman, I know we •hall do it!"

Miss Warner tins tfre "tery happv faculty of doing her own thinking, of weighing matters pro and con and deducing her own conclusions. Before adopting her present venation, she was a trained nurse and while engaged In i this profession, she devoted much of her time and Interest to settlement Work. "I'tre ntirswff tn (he •hotnas of tHi" poor when they had no money with which to buy food or fuel," she aald. "I know what the other side la like and I must •ay, my sympathy la there. If I havo a pleasure to share, I love to share it with some one to whom It could not come except, through somebody Interested."

It might b«» said of Miss "Warner that •he is a born optimist. Whatever problem presents itself to her or Is presented to her, she KNOWS it will work out all right for it MUST. Followers of one creed might call her faith the Working of science.

Not long ago this littl« corsetiere "Was sitting in an office, looking down the long hall. She mistook a woman who happened to cross the line of her vision for a fri«nd, spoke to her and went out to give her a warmer greeting, to find she had made a mistake. But in the course of the explanation, the names of the two women were exchanged, Misa Warner incidentally mentioned that she was a corsetiere, and the new made acquaintance made an appointment to be "measured" the following day. Now, then, was that the result of optimistic belief that business would come on a scorching hot afternoon when it was too hot to go "chasing" it? Leastways, it came. SUFFRApE ECHOES HEARD FROM WASHINGTON, O. C« PN AMENDMENT. 4 A suffrage bulletin from Washington has the following to say of tb* federal suffrage amendment: "In a discussion of the vote on the federal suffrage amendment, in the senate, June 6, Senator Cummins, of Iowa, made the fallowing statement: *1 think the senate ought to know that at the last meeting of the committee on woman suffrage of which I am a member it was definitely decided by a vote that the committee would ukk the senate to take up the resolution for consideration and to vote upon it during the present session of congress. Personally, I believe it would be adopted if we submitted it at this time, but as a friend of the resolution—a very warm and earnest one—I want it submitted at the time at which It can command the greatest possible number of ot.es but. in any event, it ought to be submitted at the present session Of congress.' "Mr. Shuforth, of Colorado, said: 'Mr. President, 1 fully agree with the statement just made by the senator from Iowa and heartily concur in the statement that it would not be wise now to take a vote, although I have noticed in this body that whenever a movement has been advancing in strength and popular support, the vote in favor of the passage of the measure is always a little larger than that which was absolutely promised. The growth in public Sentiment in favor of equal suffrage has been enormous, especially since the beginning of the war. On that account I believe that we would likely pass the •measure if the vote were taken now, but I feel also that to postpone it for a reasonable period of time would in-

Sure the passage of it at a later period Of the session. I am confident the vote will be ..taken before congress adjourns.* ENGLISH WOMEN AND THE WAR, ALSO THE BALLOT, DISCUSSED BY A WOMAN WRITER. "In England, more than arrywhere 4lsc, you get the impression of a whole *ornan sex mobilized behind the man," •ays a woman writer, returning not long since from Europe. "And there are more women in the Kn^lish war. •one than nr.v ether. With their alert, active litres and their Intelligent, weather-brown faces In their •lim, trim khaki, they seem like a race of Amazons. Last August the English papers warned the English women to be prepared to volunteer for work

In France to the number of 30,000 a month. These Tommy-Waacks, as they call tnem, are working at every Conceivable tiling to which the limited woman's strength can be brought— anything that will release men for the trenches. "During the first part of the war, whenever I put the question to English officers, 'Are you going to enfranchise your women alter this war is over?' they always pnswered, 'Hefore It is ever. Our women have been magnificent.' 'And, in fact, England stopped midway in the war to give its women the franchise. England did this as a War measure, for by so doing she released the entire strength erf their w'iYi®n citizens for war work."

Miss Woollen will be glad to give any help on canning If people will call her at her office. Tuesday evening at eight o'cock, she will give a demonstration at Allen chapel on canning. MRS. CHADWICK OVERSEES PLEASURES OF YOUNG NORMAL FOLK AT NEW BUILDING.

One of the "homiest" and most inviting places to be found in any connection with the S§tate Normal school is the new students' building at 671 Eagle street, where Mrs. Anna Chadwick, one of Terre Haute's well know women, is In charge.

The fact that this new addition to the Normal was a former residence—a y®ry large one—adds perhaps to its attractiveness. A building erected especially for the purpose for which this one Is used perhaps would take on, even in the building, an air of an Institution.

Mrs. Chadwiqk goes to the building at noon every day, it having been put in absolute order before she arrives. The students of the school—both young women and young men—have the privilege of "running in" If they have time for a little recreation during the noon hour. The doors are left open until about 7:30 in the evenings, except on nights when literary societies are holding meetings or special social functions are being staged. Every Saturday evening a dance is held at the building. Only a limited number can dance owing to the lack of space, but even this, again ,glves the "homey" atmosphere.

There are four large rooms including the dining room, down stairs. These are very beautifully redecorated and furnished In unusual taste. Upstairs, four meetings may be in progress at the same time without any interference with each other.

It might be of Interest to say that the students often serve "Hoover punch." The recipe for this refreshing drink haa leaked out and it comes in the form of a good "chunk" of ice and plenty of water. ./ "I have always been Vftfy fond of young folks," Mrs. cftadwick says, "and I feel quite at home with those that come here. They are fine boys and girls and I feel quite drawn to them, even in the short length of time I've been here." COMFORT KIT COMMITTEE FINISHES BIG ORDER FOR ITS UNCLE SAMUEL.

Mrs. L. S. Briggs und Miss' Mary Alice Warren, chairman of the comfort kit committee of the Red Cross, announced Saturday that the committee had Just sent in 800 comfort kits, a recent government order. It has finished altogether now 850 kits. Because of the congested working conditions at the Red Cross* the kits were distributed among churches and other organizations for making.

The Central Christian church women made 150 kits the Washington Avenue Presbyter I ah church women made 145 the Congregational church women, 43 and St. Stephen's church, the remainder. Miss Light and Miss Kester directed the Patriotic League of Wiley High School girls in the making and filing of three dozen kits. s

The city school chlMrett Of the primary department made the needlebooks and pin cushions under the direction of Miss Rose Griffith and Miss Lora Lewis. AH of t^e kits made by the Churches were tilled at St. Stephen's parish house. Each was filled with sixteen necessary articles.

The government has decreed that all comfort kits in the future be given out from the cantonments, in order to prevent some soldiers being overlooked while another soldier might receive two or three. MRS. CURRY WILL OPEN PYTHIAN LITERARY PROGRAM NEXT FALL.

Miller, county chairman of the registration of women for war work, stated Saturday that a number of women had called her inreference to registering for war work, saying thty had not had an opportunity to register as yet. She stated that those who have not had the chance to enter their names for some form of work to assist the government can do so by calling at the rest room of the court house early this week.
