This is an original subject, full of surprises. But gracious Emily Taft Douglas and her husband, too, are full of delightful and intellectual surprises. Mr. Douglas has carried the theorâ€" ies of the classroom into public life; he was elected Alderman and reâ€" cently started politicians by volunâ€" tarily publishing the income and exâ€" penditures of his office. A devout Quaker and therefore a man of peace, Mr. Douglas joined a volunâ€" tary â€" Civilian Military Training camp that he might better know the requirements ~of soldiering in the event of a national emergency. A part of the background of Mrs. Douglas is that she was trained for the stage and was leading women in notable productions before her marriage. During five trips to Italy she studied its people, its problems and its art. She has an exhibit of textbooks used in elementary political indoctrination of children schools,, which show military and and has made a study of the condiâ€" tion of women and children under Fascisim. Miss Douglas is chairâ€" man ~of Government and Foreign Policy for the Cook County League of Women Voters; previously she was organization secretary for the State of Illinois. Emily Taft Douglas has a delightâ€" ful stage presence and delivery, partly due to her stage career but largely due to her own personal charm and intellect. Her taik on "Protesting Women" includes, among others, such women as Ann Hutchinson, the first women preachâ€" er and club woman; Fanny Wright, friend of Lafayette; Susan B. Anâ€" thony, the Napoleon of the suffrage movement; Elizabeth Cady Stanton, advocate of peace and emancipaâ€" tion; Lucy Stone, stickler for the right to use her own name, though married; and even Tsadora Duncan (Continued on Page 18) ..
