DEFENDS SUFFRAGE TLAY
Miss Katzcnstein Replies to Critics of
. "Your Girl and Mine."
" 'Uncle Tom's Cabin' wns called ex
aggerated, but freed t'no slaves."
This was the roply made today by Mls3
Caroline Katzensteln to two resolutions
adopted by the Pennsylvania Association
Opposed to Woman Suftrago condemning
tho sulfrngo photoplay now being shown
In this city, "Your Girl and Mine."
Antl-suffrago nrgument Is that there Is
no law In Pennsylvania such as that on
which the photoplay is based, making a
wife's property sclzable for the pro
nuptial debts of a spendthrift husband.
Miss Katzcnstein pointed out Chat tho
story of the famous slave drama was not
true to conditions in any one place, ac
cording to Its critics, but the abuses re
formed by It had existed in various parts
of tho country. Sho said the same answer
would npply to the anti-sulfrago argu
ment. "WHAT'S IN A NAME?
Too Much for Her, Petitions Viola
Cecelia Sczsepankewicz.
"Sczsepnnkewlcz!" How would you like
to yell that a hundred times a day? It s
tho name of a girl, who precedes It with
Viola Cecelia. Tho Court ot Common
Pleas No. 6 was not surprised today when
she petitioned for a pronounceable sub
stitute for the conglomeration.
Miss Sczsepankewicz said that the name
prevented her from getting work. No
normal employer could manago It. Then,
too, it would take too much room on
the payroll. Who would know what she
means when she murmured over a phono;
"Mr. Smith is not In; this is Miss
Sczsepankewicz?"
She wants It cut to Abel, for. despite
biblical history, this is short and sweet
and carrels the Idea of competency.
Therefore, Miss Abel soon will stand
ready to provo It.

PANTALETTES HERE!
DAINTY, FRILLY, LACY
1915 Summer Girl Will Look
Like Illustration From Go
dey's Ladies' Book.
Pantalettes nre here! The dainty, frilly,
lacy kind that hang down around tho
ankles with a "loslng-'cm" erfcet; the
identical sort that our grandmothers used
to wear when they sat on their crnndnhs
and nirtcd outrageously with tho oung
cavallors of tho country side.
Judging from the costumes which the
shops are selling for summer wear, the
1915 Summer Girl will look exactly like
nn illustration in Godcy's Ladles' Book,
nnd If they become as popular as the
fashion arblteis predict, Chestnut street
is going to bo the most plcturcsquo thor
oughfnro Imaginable in a few months'
tlmo.
Already theso quaint little additions to
the feminine toilet have mndo their ap
peal ance. At a recent dance nt the Penn
Charter School several attractive young
girls wore them and wore tho envy of
every other "skirt" on the tloor, but It Is
not expected that they will be generally
accepted until the warm weather calls
forth summer dresses.
And will these "panties" really bo ac
cepted by tho fair sex? Will tho women
take to them as they took to the silt Bklrt
and leg-o-mutton sleove? Why not7 Hear
what tho creator of one of theso cos
tumes hns to say on tho subject:
"The only thing that might serve to
keep the hoop skirt and pantalette style
from becoming excessively popular Is
the increase In laundry which it will en
tail. When properly worn tho little
bloomers come down as far as the ankles
where they are tied with a cunning lit
tle bow of black, velvet. Several ruffles
then fall gracefully over tho instep.
Naturally If the streets aro nono too
clean it will be necessary to have a large
stock of the pantalettes on hand. How
ever, for tho seashoro and for evening
wear they will be adopted, I am sure.
"After the success of tho huge Merry
Widow hat, the hobble skirt and other
hideous and extreme styles there Is no
reason to believe that this picturesque
one will be given the go-by. And another
point expected to weigh in its favor is
that it Is not only a Made In America
style, but Is really an historical cos
tume and was worn hero years ago."

SOCIETY SCION FINDS
JOY IN HELPING POOR
Langdon Jones, Harvard Grad
uate, Pleads for Sympathy
for "Down and Outs"
"I And more recreation In assisting u
fellow who needs help than In seeing n
football game. Young men possessing
wealth should bo interested in the wel
faro of the poor just as much a1) In nuto
mobtllng, fishing, hunting nnd visiting
clubs. Lack of sjmnathy towards tho
man who Is In a hard pinch Is chiefly re
sponsible for certnln social conditions."
Looking down nt a group of emaciated
forms ot homeless men who wire seated
in th-j Wayfarers' Lodge, at li20 Lombard
stioet, John Langdon Jones. 23 yiars old,
a Harvard graduate, and tho scion ot an
old Philadelphia family, made this state
ment today.
Mr. Jones Is the son of Mrs Lllla Lnug
Myers, of Hoxborough, who ls". daugh
ter of tho lato John Lang, who was n
wealthy paper manufacturer In this city.
Since InBt fall Mr. Jones has ivtn up
soeletv foi settlement work. He is a
slstnnt social secretary of tho Wayfarers'
Lodge.
Club life and society do not nppcal to
Mr. Jones. Ho spends all his spnre time
among the "down and outs," who ("ally
wander Into tho red brick house nt Lom
bard and 17th streets. He can be found
there nt all hours of tho dny. When net
in his ofllce he mingles with young and
old men In tho recreation room. Ho Is
always reid to listen to a tale of who
and five advice.
In Mr. Jones' opinion lack of sympithy
towa.-Js tho poverty-stricken Is dlrojtly
responsible for deplorable social condi
tions In this city. He believes that the
sons ot wealthy families should become
Interested In settlement work, so that
they can be of some servlco to their
fellow man.
Dally Mr. Jones leaves his home at
rtldgo nvenuo and Martin street. In Uox
borough, to mcko the Journey to the "th
Ward. Ho is usually out of bed long be
fore 8 o'clock n the morning. v
"I llnd a great deal of Joy and happi
ness," said Mr. Jones. "In spending my
tlmo here with men who are up against
It. I believe that the young men of to
day ought to become Interested In doing
something towards helping humanity Just
as much as the middle-aged and elderly
men.
"There are many causes responsible for
poverty. Trom what I have seen since
I have been at the Wayfarers' Lodge, It
Btrlkes me that It Is the environment
which is responsible for many cases of
poverty which aro brought to our atten
tion dally.
"Thero are many fellows working In this
city at different trades who have no one
to sympathize with them or take an In
terest in their career, It Is the Bame
with the fellow who wanders Into this
city from different parts of the country
In seaich of employment. Often these
men tramp about the streota for days and
nights without any person gtvlng them
a helping hand.
"I was never a football player when In
college, but I was a good rooter, I would
much rather spend my time down In the
7th Ward helping a "down and out' than
In watching a football game or attending
some other affair,"

Broad churchmen or liberal Christians,
who nre under the Intellectual domination
of materialistic philosophers llko Comte,
Spencer James, Suckon and Ilorgson, were
criticised today by tho Rev. Dr. Carl E.
Grammer In his noonday Icnlen sermon
nt St. Stephen's Protestant Episcopal
Church, lOtlt street above Chestnut.
The speaker mentioned no names, but
let It bo Inferred that materialistic phi
losphy was behind tho nttltude which has
been adopted by ministers of various
churches In this city who opposed "Hilly"
Sunday.
"Churchmen under the swny of ma
terialist writers,' said Doctor Grammer,
"nscrlbo all progress to environment
cither Intellectual or social nnd do not
understand the phenomena of religious
experience."
Other churchmen, he declared, accept
the teachings of science as to nature, nnd
of Bcholnrs ns to sacred literature, but
have learned from Wordsworth nno
Drowning that spirit Is superior to mat
ter Hence they nscrlbo to man the power
of crcatlvo energy like that ot the Heav
enly Father.
Mr. Sunda, tho. speaker asserted. Is In
fundamental agreement with this, nnd re
gards his mjsslon as proof of that Bplrlt

enco at Old St. Peter's Church, 3d and

the
SPIRITUAL VALUE IN FAST
Bishop Rhinelander Discusses It in
Lenten Address.
The nt. Rev. Philip M. Rhinelander,
bishop of Pennsylvania, explained tho ne
cessity of fasting during tho Lenten sea
son nt thp noonday service for business
people at Christ Church, 2d street above
Market, today. Continuing his sermon
of yesterday noon, he said fasting is of
Immense spiritual Importance to tho body.
"Tho motive," said tho bishop, "Is a
display of respect, honor and reverence
through tho body for God. Tho object Is
to receive Inward spiritual effect to over
como tho opposition of tho body to tho
tenchings of tho Scriptures. There Is an
clement of revolt on the part of the body
and this weakness must be mnde strong.
"Thero nre two points, the negative and
tho positive. Tho ncgatlvo Is to out out
all evil opposition to fasting in order to
derive the benellt of spiritual self-denial.
Then, too, wo cut off our unwholesome
amusoment.
"On the other hand, thero must be ex
ercise, such exercise as will mako tho
body wholesome and pure Wo should
pray more, make better preparation for
prayer and give moro liberally to charity.
In short, to fust propeily we should mako
the body really free by harnessing It."
SERMON ON CONFESSION
Dean of Divinity School Says It Is
Condition of Forgiveness.
"To be stialghtforward, deflnlto and to
intend to forsake sin Is the way of for
giveness," said Itev. Dr. George C. Foley,
dean of tho Divinity School, In a Lenten
servlco on tho "Confession of Sin" at tho
Old St. Paul's Church, nt 3d and Walnut
streets, this noon.
"Confession Is, Indeed, n condition of
forgiveness; otherwise there Is no guar
antee of a desire to get rid of It," he con
tinued. "Confession Is more than the
mere admission of the fact. We readily
call ourselves 'miserable Binners,' but nro
reluctant to specify In what particular,
St. Francis Xavler, after hearing more
than 70,000 confessions, said that not a
rcnltent ever admitted tho sin ot covet
ousness. Confession Is more than general
acknowledgment. Pharoah, Saul and Ba
laam said, 'I have sinned,' but each kept
on sinning. Judas, ut least, gave up the
wages of Iniquity. But David and the
Prodigal meant by the same words that
they were relinquishing sin."
MUST CONTROL THOUGHTS
Bishop Talbot Says Character De
pcnds'on Attitude of Mind.
The importance ot controlling one's
thoughts and the attitude ot mind was
the subject of the noonday Lenten ad
dress today at the Garrlck Theatre by
Bishop Ethelbert Talbot, of the diocese of
Bethlehem. He took as his text Psalm SL
verse 10; "Make me a clean heart, O God,
and ronow a right spirit within me."
Bishop Talbot dwelt on the difficulty ot
controlling our thoughts, and said we
should have patience to do so, since Influ
ence ot character Is dependent on this.
He also pointed out that the gospel gives
the secret pf such control ot our thoughts.
