Well, sho is n suffragiM. The cu

off tlio reel. Mrs. Mitchell believes
in woman suffrage. Sho even be
lieves in women taking tlio stump to
get the ballot tliit is, other women.
Mrs. MJIehell herself will never take
the stump, though she "believes in
the principle," ns sho puts it.
"I guess I nm n homo body," sho
said. "I believo in women working
for Ihe ballot, lint I could never
bring myself to slump. I alwnys ex
peet to dust tho piano nnd do other
things like Hint. I believe in suf
frage, I hough. I go on record now
as a suffragist. As long as five years
ngo I joined tho Kotinl Suffrage
