to Women's Suffrage. But just as I was ready to read it - after having been put off a whole day or more - some of the delegates who didn't want the paper read informed me that my train was leaving in a few minutes and I wouldn't have time to give it and catch the train. One prominent Chicago woman offered to pay my fare on the sleeper if I would stay over.
