The second picket line numbered ten women.
They also bore golden lettered banners. They also bore flags of purple, white, and gold. They were arrested immediately.
The applause continued to grow and grow in volume.
Immediately a third group appeared, and after they had been arrested, a fourth; and, on their arrest, a fifth. For half an hour a continuous line of purple, white, and gold blazed its revolutionary path through the grayness of the November afternoon.
Mary A. Nolan of Florida headed the fifth group of pickets. Little, frail, lame, seventy years old, her gallantry elicited from the two lines of onlookers applause, cheers, calls of encouragement.
“Keep right on!” one voice emerged from the noise. “You’ll make them give it to you!”
