![News service photograph of Jane Addams and Stanley Field after having received their honorary doctorates in law from the University of Chicago. Photograph: 8-1/2 x 6-1/2", black and white glossy photography with caption attached at lower edge. Blue stamp of International Newsreel at reverse. Some ruffling. About very good. The caption reads: "Miss Jane Adams [sic] and Mr. Stanley Field who were given honorary degrees by the Chicago University today in [its] winter convocation. Hono[rary] degrees of doctor of laws were confirmed upon the two distinguished Chicagoans" with the note: "sent to all bureaus, Hearts papers and Fast Mail". If Jane Addams had provoked controversy in earlier years, by 1930 American considered her an icon of much that was admirable and worth emulation. This news service photograph documents a particular moment in her long career and reflects the stature she achieved.

![First edition. Copy of suffrage activist May Brayton Briggs with her signature at the front free endpaper. 8vo, 100pp; (including Appendices); navy blue vertically-ribbed cloth stamped in gold front and spine; pale blue dust jacket printed in black. The jacket displays minor fading and some wear around the spine ends. The book is fine. The presence of the original dust jacket is unusual. Catt has compiled documents related to "why an amendment to the Federal Constitution is the most appropriate method of dealing with the question" of woman suffrage. Of the six chapters, Catt has written or compiled those entitled, "Why the Federal Amendment?"; "Election Laws and Referenda"; "The Story of the 1916 Referenda" and "Objections to the Federal Amendment". Mary Sumner Boyd and the Hon. Henry Wade Rogers, Judge of the U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, NYC, contributed the two chapters focusing on state issues. Appendix A reviews suffrage in other countries; Appendix B classifies the "36 male suffrage states" according to how state constitutions are amended and how difficult passage of woman suffrage according to the NAWSA. Woman suffrage had received a disheartening setback in 1915 when Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania all voted down state referenda on the question. Anna Howard Shaw's faltering presidency finally ended and Carrie Chapman Catt succeeded her to the head of the NAWSA. She developed a two-prong campaign which came to be known as Mrs. Catt's "Winning Plan" [NAW] and which sought passage of a suffrage amendment while continuing to push for winning suffrage for women on a state level. Her tact and statesmanship won over Woodrow Wilson and other influential politicians. [Robert Booth Fowler's essay "Carrie Chapman Catt, Strategist" in ONE WOMEN, ONE VOTE is invaluable for its fine analysis of Catt's political skills. He emphasizes how controversial her "winning plan" was when Catt insisted that suffrage be pursued on the federal level.] 1917 proved the pivotal year in this long campaign. This book underscores Catt's insistence on persuasion by reason. (Though Catt also cleared the path for the 19th Amendment by leading the NAWSA in a campaign in 1917 to unseat four unsympathetic senators. As a politician and a general she was quite prepared to promulgate a 'take no prisoners' policy when necessary.) Here, the dry titles of the articles provide intentional camouflage; in fact, the book is a decisive plan-of-action conceived and executed by a skilled and determined strategist of the first order. May Brayton Briggs became a supporter of woman suffrage, as she wrote, "not because I desired and decided to be, and then sought props to support my position but because my reading, observing and thinking, gradually brought me to the conclusions which I found were in harmony with those held by the advocates of equal suffrage". The Kroch Library at Cornell University now holds various manuscripts which Briggs wrote during the campaign for women suffrage in Massachusetts: notes for speeches, verses on anti suffrage complaints and being on the stump, etc. She was a lively, energetic voice on behalf of women's rights.

![Only edition. Trade catalogue: 6-3/4 x 5-1/8", 32pp; buff card stock covers, front cover embossed with decorative frame setting off the title; yellow cotton cord tie binding text and covers. Small shallow stain at upper forecorner of text. Tiny puncture to front cover; pin scratch to rear cover; mild overall age-toning/dustiness. Very good. In-text illustrations in bluish-green throughout including diagrams of various sewing stitches. Author's facsimile signature appears at the end of the story. In addition to "A Fairy at School", the trade catalogue prints "In Praise of Needlework" with topics such as "What Sewing Teaches"; "A Cure for Kinks"; "What Annie Keary Thinks of Sewing"; "Needlework in History and Literature"; "Princess Alexandra's Jacket"; and "A Teacher of Economy". The catalogue appears to have been issued as a promotional piece for the 1893 World's Columbian Exposition; the final paragraph quotes GREAT AMERICAN INDUSTRIES, BLUE AND GRAY which speaks of "the mighty World's Fair which is ever going on". Although published posthumously, the story, clearly commissioned by the manufacturer, tells of how Titania, queen of the fairies, requires lovely, idle Idola to learn how to be useful. Titania transforms the sullen fairy into a cotton plant and the story then traces how raw cotton becomes delicate thread. Illustrations depict a thread mill, very likely Willimantic, with effusive descriptions of the building, the happy girls who work the machinery and the amenities afforded them: "the carders and combers were tended by alert and active girls, dressed with simple neatness, glowing with health, and showing in every look intelligence and capacity"; a "long, wide hall" is a reading room, "the sides set with cases full of books, the shelves above ornamented with busts, and at the convenient tables eager and intense faces reading papers, pamphlets, magazines"; and at work's end, the young women go to "great swarming houses full as a May hive; [and] some to a group of quaint and pretty cottages". Once Idola's translation from sprite to thread is complete, Titania declares she has gone to be of "use to the world". Rose Terry Cooke (1827-1892) wrote verse, short stories and occasional prose pieces such as her profiles of Harriet Beecher Stowe and Harriet Spofford in OUR FAMOUS WOMEN. Scholars and critics now consider her a pioneer of the local color school, using dialect and homely detail to create a sense of authenticity. This merging of fiction and advertising must have been among the last of her writings. Not noted in BAL.
