N"o, you are wrong, She was not smoking a cigarette, nor was n glass of absinthe standing before her, One of the very first things she did was to assert emphatically that she never "drank," also that she never Mnokcd In all her tempestuous life. Her feet? Oh, yes, they wero encased In high shoes, not Flippers, about the size of a couple of thimbles.- Tho lackadaisical attitude continued until the woman suffrngo question was approached. It was suggested that pos sibly she was an "anil." "No, no, not" she exclaimed, and ex citedly sprang Into the air, landing before her Interlocutor In a kneeling po9turo on tho couch, with her feet tucked away somewhere or other. Thus Japanese fashion she squatted during the entire time that she poured forth with Ccltlo Intensity her views on donating th bal lot to the fair ex, the war, tho "ohlquc ncss" of American girls, etc., etc. "Women In England can do nothing, nothing wi'hout their husbands." She paused for ip word. Although she un derstands English readily nnd can speak It fairly well, she hns far from mastered the languago nnd nlwnys has her secre tary, .Miss Edmondcon. handy to eoine to her rescue.

Johnson, presi dent of tho Ilaldwln Locomotive Com pany. "This is reflected," lie continued, "In tho condition of tho stock market. Tho highly speculative element In certain stocks known ns 'war stocks' has sub sided. "Whllo war orders were coming to this country for stupendous quantities of ma terial there wero nil kinds of guesses. Homo based on facts, eomo on fancy nnd many on both ns to tho possible profits and certain stocks wero Inflated beyond all reason. "Todny, with a virtual cessation of theso orders for war material, and with a better knowlcdgo ns to the actual ex tent of the orders placed and being exe cuted, and thereforo a better opportunity for ilellberato calculation ns to profits, wild speculation has given way to calmer Judgmont." Discussing tho Remington Compnny's plant at Eddystono, near Chester, Mr. Johnson snld ho understood that whllo tho works wero not yet running to full capacity, they wero progressing most satisfactorily. He understood their con tract did not call for any deliveries till March next, nnd that being so, they are well ahead of time. As to general busi ness, not only ln Philadelphia, but all over the country, Mr. Johnson said, it Is very good. As a prominent member of tho Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce, lu which ho takes an active interest, as well ns on account uf tho opportunities ha has of obtaining Information through his official position in the Baldwin Com pany, ho Is an authority. Ah orders for locomotives reflect tho uctlvitlca of tho railroads the great arteries of trade Mr. Johnson was asked If he based his opinion of genoral busi ness conditions on the number of locomo tives thu company wns turning out. He replied tlint the Baldwin Company, In def erence to their patrons, the railroad men. never volunteered nny Information on such orders. Enough was gathered, how ever, for the conclusion that the Baldwin Company had no reason to complain of a scarcity of locomotive orderB.

WITHDRAWALS PUZZLE TO ANTI-ST0NEMEN Foes of Ritual Cannot Under stand Why Episcopalians Won't Confer With Founder Non-Eplscopallan opponents ot tho pres ent ritual of the Stonemen's Fellowship nro much exercised todny over tho an nouncement that neither of the prominent Episcopalians named by tho Rev. Dr. Wllllnm H. Roberts to serve on a com mittee to moot the lenders of tho Fellow ship will nccept the appointment. Follow ing In tho footsteps of the Rev. Dr. Carl B. Clrnmmcr, who refused a similar ap pointment Inst week, the Rev. Dr. David M. Stcclo ami Francis A. Lewis do not intend to serve. Announcement of their Intention hns caused considerable speculation among the opponents of tho Stonemen's degrees. It Is snld that Doctor Roberts named the men only when ho had been given assurance that they objected to tho propaganda, which hns been making rapid strides under tho leadership of the Rev. Mr. Stone. A prominent church man sad today that one of the city's moat widely-known rectors recommended their appointment to tho chairman of tho opposing committee. Doctor Roberts Is out of the city to day, and It is not possible to announce what action he will take following tho resignation of Doctor Steele and Mr. Lewis. But It Is believed that, as a result of their resignations. Doctor Rob erts and tho leaders of tho opposition will use every means to learn why these men will not cerve on n committee that is opposing the very something they themselves are opposed to. A prominent Episcopalian, who pre ferred not to be quoted, said today that the great membership accredited to the fellowship was pure Action, nnd that probably less than 10,000 men were Inter ested actively In tho movement. Some of the leaders of tho fellowship have boasted that tho organization has nn en rollment of more than 100,000. This same churchman also asserted that the statement that the club had virtually unlimited financial backing, was untrue, nnd there wns littlo prospect of tho fel lowship having an expensive clubhouse unless the members paid for It them selves. Ho did not think It probable that the members would provide tho funds. The number tlmt really Is active, ho Bald, could not possibly contrlbuto $200,000 or $300,000, the amount suggested as the cost of the proposed clubhouse.
