Thus does Corra Harris, essayist and

Irtis' visitor was prepared to hear a
Elghttul play of paradox almost too
btle and bewildering for mere man to
hlow. Instead, he heard an earnest,
alghtforward expression of the aplr-
aal vnjue of suffrage to women.
'"How-its It. Mrs. Harris-," tho author
was asked, ''that If every woman Is at
heart a suffragist, your heroine in The
Co-Cltlsens" ;at last chooses love and a
home Instead; of a political campaign with

i It seemed a fair question, for an inter

"I discovered a way to help her," said
the little car conductor, blushing rosily,
"but please do not think I am boastful

It helps to prolong her life. And tho
work Is no trouble, but a plensure. She
designs the dresses for tho dolls and I
carry tho designs out. At first I madn
the designs myself, as I nm accustomed
to that sort of thing; but after n time I
saw my friend was worrying over ac

any anything, but I somehow felt that
her prldo was hurt because of what she
called my 'charity.' 8o I told her one
day that If she mn.de tho designs wa

I brought her In some of my old fashion

which I carried out."
"And you divide the prorta?"
The llttlo Frenchwoman blushed again.
"The prices which the dolls bring arc so
small that I should not dream of divid
ing the profits." she said, "but my friend
understands that I am receiving half the
money. And I do not feel that I am Act

In my opinion, this
little car conductor,
with her kindly heart
and her generous Im
pulses, was n true
woman, and a lady In
tho highest sense of
tho word. For she was
sufficiently refined nnd
sensitive herself not
only to take heed of
others In their poverty
and loneliness, but
nlso to guard against
hurting their feelings
In any way.
The method of doing a kindness, as well
as tho kindness Itself, counts for very
much. Kindness, tactfulncss, and, above
all, unselfishness, nre the three chief In
gredients which go to make up tho char

gnnda by the book. Mrs. Harris never
thinks as other people do. She Is always
herself. Even her references to the Dlble.
with 'which her books and conversation
fnlrly bristles, are original, tonlo and
strike wonderfully deep down Into the
roots of human nature.
I THE DEMOCRACY OF WOMAN SUF
FRAGE
Mrs. Harris has much to Bay about tho
democracy of woman suffrage, yet In the
pages of "The Co-Citizens" appears the
striking sentence: "In their first stages
of growth all political movements are di
vinely democratic. It Is not until tho
thing has been reduced to a working for
mula that some boss seizes the formula
and tho tyrannies of monarchical meth
ods begin."
"But." explalnod Mrs. Harris, "political
or social democracy Is one thing. The
personal democracy which suffrage Instl's
in the hearts of women Is quite another,
and one of the most wonderful things
about the movement. m It Elves them a
democracy they have "never had before,
and it gives them a sense of responsibil
ity. Awaken In any race or class tho
sense of responsibility and you awake a
sense of their rights.
"Woman suffrage Is a logical growth
out of our times. Women In the past,
and to a, large extent now, aro not tho
citizens of our civilization; they are the
natives. A native Is one who uses the
resources at hand and neither Invents
nor produces. That Is the position in
which women have been placed. Thero
undoubtedly is something in the charge
that women are responsible in part for
the high cost of living through their lack
of responsibility in purchasing. The big
stores crowd the necessities In the base
ments. Tho upper floors and Bhow win
dows are filled with luxuries, which are
bought by some women who do not In
any sense earn the money with which
they buy them. The woman who keeps
house and rears children earns a share
of her husband's Income. She is eco
nomically Independent In that sense, but
I refer to the women who do not earn
even that way,
"Quffrago means that woman will come
to think of these things, that she will
have the right and the awful responsibil
ity of becoming a partner."
THE CAVEWOMAN PERIOD OF FEM
INISM. Mrs. Harris paused a moment and her
visitor seized the opportunity to ask a
question about tho feminists. The Lady
from tho Valley smiled. 'These extreme
feminists," she replied slowly and with
out emphasis, as If the thought had long
lalrf in her mind and the hot arguments
of the radicals had all sunk deep Into her
nature and been weighed carefully for
wliat they were worth. "Thoao extreme
feminists," she continued, "represent only
the fever thermometer of the movement.
All movements pass through a destructlvo
period, that Is the place some of' the
feminists are now. They represent the
cavewomen of tho movement.
"I am told that a woman who wants
old-fashioned things Is narrow. It's nar
row, to be sure, that there Is nothing In
divorce for no one who truly believes In
marriage believes In divorces and no one
who believes In divorce can ever really be
lieve In marriage.
"I am told that some feminists don't
believe n marriage at oil, Oh, well, they
are only skinning the cat mentally they
aren't thinking. Presently they'll marry
and take a husband and have stock In
property and legitimacy and things that
aro as deep as they are narrow,
"Indeed, they will build the structure
again and they will build well, I have un
ending .faith In the good sense of women
in general; also, I have unending faith In
the Universal jit aire for woman suffrage."

MISS MAUD LeROY
THAT thero aro two types of Paris
fashions one for France and one for
America Is the assertion of Miss Maude
Le Roy, who Is now playing In "Potash
and Perlmutter" In this city.
Miss Maude Lo Roy, who herself takes
the role of a fashion model, speaks with
some authority, and odds that It Is, after
all, entirely a case of anatomy,
"Vou have only to compare French
models with American ones," she says,
"to realize that costumes seen to advan
tage on the chic, very small and slender
French model, with her daring air of ex
aggerated modlshness, would become sim
ply vulgar on the 'perfect 36" of an Amer
ican. "French mannequins, trained from
childhood In the art of wearing clothes,
and trained to wear them 'In such fashion
na to attract the eye, can hardly be taken
as suitable models for American women,
who, In spite of their love of dress, In
cline to expensive simplicity. Also, Amer
ican women have not French figures, and
so the puffings and the draplnga of
Franco must be modified to suit Ameri
can curves. For that reason more than
any other I think American adaptations
from French styles are far more becom
ing than actual Paris gowns to the aver
age woman.
"One thing, however, that I think we
can all learn from the Parts mannequin
is perfection of detail and how to walk

and to judge by the
numerous models which
boast plain, wide "hoops,

in to stay.
Debutante frocks and
dance gowns for the

charming variations of
this youthful style. I
remember n well-known
play which was produced
early this fall, wherein
the heroine wore hoops.
The stage Isn't the only
place to see the hoop
skirt, either. It Is equally
charming when worn by
the debutante, I have
seen a pretty model with
hoops which flared out
fit the sides, and fitted In
at the front and back of
tho skirt. Made of tulle
or net, with an under
dress of velvet or taffrtnn,
nothing could look more
attractive.
Today's fashion Illus
tration Is another ex
ample of the Infinite
possibilities of the hoop
skirt es a fashion

rose-tinted motifs Is the
material used on tho lit

plain; widely draped
sleeves of rose tulle, a
corsago ornament nnd
wide girdle form the only
adornment. A sweeping
butterfly bow of tafTetaa
finishes tho back.
The skirt is n lovely
model. Tunics are seen
nt either side of the
front, with boning In the
laco edge, and a Bccond
edging of chiffon, also
boned. Tho front of the
skirt Is very sheer, with
a dainty cream lace de
sign, laid In ruffles. The
effect of tho plain front

tunics nt cither side Is
decidedly youthful.

Who Took Drugged Tonic
No Alarming Symptoms
No serious consequences nre feared by
pl.YFlclnns from the accidental serving
to forty persons of a nerve tonic that
had been dosed vlth poison. Mrs. May
Farrell, demonstrator of tho tonic for tho
manufacturers at a Market street de
partment store, is still being kept a,t the
Jefferson hospital, but Dr. George Rrown,
who Is In chargo of tho case, says that
so tar she has shown no symptoms of

It is now believed that those who took
samples of tho drugged tonic got so llttlo

will not harm them, beyond perhaps a
temporary Inconvenience. Physicians be

presence of mind by telephoning to the
manufacturers when she learned tho
stuff was not pleasing to the taste.
match. She makes of herself a perfect
picture always, and the French or Rus
sian actress does exactly the same thing.
Bhe buys her clothes with as much care
perhaps more as she would exercise in
choosing a husband. The beauty of her
coiffure makes her head always Im
mensely pictorial, and her walk, the very
way she moves her hands or sits in a
chair blend In exquisitely with the stage
picture which her dramatic art is paint
ing for the audience,
"And those of us who are playing ,n
such essentially American plays as this
one of ours ought to be able to make Juat
as delightful a stage picture of our gowns
and our roles of the U. B. A."
Miss Le Roy certainly displays the
American gowns she wears with a skill
that a Paris mannequin might well envy,
while she Is a very clever actress as well,
having that most difficult of nil roles, a
