Cupid Wins Victory In Suffragette Camp.

by American Press Association. MISS INEZ Mir.HOLLAND AND HEn FIANCE MIL DATES. ■

The croakers who fear that the suffragette will lose her matrimonial chance may set their fears atlrest, for the engagement is announced of the most obstre[serous of suffragettes, Miss Inez Miihoiland. who j>ertai>s has done more spectacular and strenuous work in the —votes for women ” cause than any other American woman. The lucky man with sufficient courage to marry this socialistic suffragette is Lindon Bates. Jr., of New York, exassemblymau, author and civil engineer and a recent convert to the “cause.” Victory through defeat will be Mr. Bates’ slogans f<>r he does not promise to aid the girl of his heart in all of her activities, but he promises not to interfere in them. A dangerous trip taken by Mr. Bates through Siberia and his book recounting the experience, “The Russian Road to China.” published last winter, completed Miss Milholland's interest in the author. The Russian road led directly to her heart. A resume of Miss Miihoiland”s short career will show just what her husband will be up-against. “As a child.' said her mother, "Inez was constantly bringing home the most forlorn and maimed specimens of femininity.” And at Vassar later her socialistic tendencies quite shocked the conservative faculty, for early in her college career she had herself made probation officer. The chapel having been refused the fair Inez as a gathering place for a suffragette meeting, nothing daunted, with sixteen of her sworn allies, a meeting took place at midnight in a nearby graveyard, where they listened to burning words from President Inez. After that suffrage became a tolerated if not an approved subject at Vassar. Miss Miihoiland has the honor of being the girl who “broke up the big Taft campaign parade.” As the procession moved down Fifth avenue, the band playing “There'll Be a Hot Time,” a voice from a window of one of the houses called, “Give us votes for womeii!” Miss Miihoiland, then a memlier of the Political Equality league, was shouting these words to the crowd through a megaphone. Some of the men broke and ran into the house, and after fifteen minutes' convincing talk Inez had converted them to the cause. It was a great victory from the suffragist viewpoint. Several arrests, two in London and one during the shirtmakers’ strike in New York last winter, are added to Miss Milbol laud's victories, fur the oftener a suffragette can suffer for the cause the greater the glory.

She made four militant suffragette speeches In Hyde park, London, when Only fifteen years old. She interviewed Premier Asquith last summer, when she persuaded him to be more openly friendly to the suffragettes. Her conversion of Mr. Bates took place a year ago at a suffragette tea, and now.it is said that the wedding bells will soon be heard. The Vogue of Ribbon Work.
