According to William Hard, in the American Magazine, the city of Chicago has five maiden aunts. Mr. Hard says that these women boss Chicago very much to Chicago's advantage. These aunts, who are bosses, are Margaret A. Haley, Mary McDowell, Julia C. Lathrop, Jane Addams and Dr. Cornelia De Bey. Miss Haley was, of course, the instigator of the franchise tax fight and is a leader in the municipal ownership movement. Miss McDowell is a trades union organizer among women. Miss Lathrop, single handed, reformed conditions in the charitable institutions of Illinois. Miss Addams, perhaps the best citizen of Chicago, is the head of Hull House.
Dr. De Bey, a physician by profession, is a lively member of the board of education.
