SEGREGATE WOMEN IN
SLEEPERS, SUGGESTS M'LISS
A Female Porter Might Also Help Alleviate In
convenience That Feminine Tourists Ex
i perience in Traveling at Night
WHY not a woman porter? A fomlnlno counterpart of tlioao brass-buttoned
automatons) of efficiency that maho railroad traveling In America at
onco a delight and curBc.
Thfeso questions presented themselves after I had listened to tho walling
nnd gnashing of teeth of a woman but recently returned from a trans
continental Journey.
"American travel Indecent?" she queried, "well I should say so, and I
think Europeans nro perfectly justified In their contentions that tho night ac
commodations of our roads aro unspeakable, shocking to a degree.
"When Mary decided to go with me," she continued, "1 thought that all
tho dlsagrccnblcncss would bo obviated. No strango tnulo creature would
bd Sleeping In tho berth over me or under mo. Mary and I would have tho
compartment to ourselves.
"But oven though we had tho berth to ourselves, wo could not expect
to have tho car, nnd that's where tho rub enmo In.
"In going back and forth from tho washroom In tho morning, one never
know what sights were to greet ono en route. Men In undershirts and
trousers, with suspenders danglhig llko reins from tho rear, trailed back and
forth; men In their pajamas, men In gaping bathrobes, with no senso at all of
tho proprieties, Issued from their berths and went forth unblushlngly In nil
stages of undress to make their toilettes. It was extremely distasteful nnd
annoying to women used to privacy."
A railroad official tells mo that so far as his knowledge goes, a woman
porter has never been tried out by any railroad. Nor has It over occurred
to any road to segregate tho women Blcepers. That Is to say, to provldo a car,
or two, If necessary, for tho exclusive uso of women traveling alone, Just ns n
certain Now York hotel has ono floor set asldo for tho accommodation of Its
women guests.
Porhups an enterprising woman could Impress some enterprising road with
tho necessity for such a service.
"Cut," said tho rnilrond man, when I suggested this to him, "a woman porter
would have to be very versatile, Indeed; for there Is no nuiro versatile creature
than tho porter. He knows how to do everything that ho is asked to do and much
inoro. He shines shoes, carries lienvy luggage and Is altogether n cross be
tween a highly specialized valet and a mongrel puppy dog.
"Few women are callable of attaining to such heights of efficiency" remem
ber, this is the railroad man speaking, not myself "as tho porter, or to sink
to such depths of servility. This Is perhaps the reason why there aro no women
porters. This, together with tho fact that feminine night-travel Is. uncertain.
There may be only five women on the train ono night and 33 the next, whereas
thcro are always enougli men to Justify mule porters."
However, I still contend that some arrangement should lie found by which
tho women tourists could proceed to tho washroom in their negligees without
meeting gentlemen on tho way similarly clad!
Linking Lincoln With Suffrage
When tho apostle of freedom, Honest Abe, gave vent -to tho famous pro
nouncement "I go for sharing all the privileges of government with thoso who
assist in bearing Its burdens by no means excluding women," ho had no idea
that ho would have to share his birthday with two other distinguished suf
fragists, because of that utterance.
Dr. Eleanor M. Holstand-Mooro tells mo that the cclobratlon In order at
suffrage headquarters this afternoon will bo an exceedingly Impressive nffalr.
Susan 13. Anthony, born on February lfi, 1820, and tho Ilov. Dr. Anna Howard
Shaw, a real suffrage valentine seeing the light of day first on February 14,

Letters to the Editor

hide of tin
Dear M'Liss Apropos your romarks about politeness In tho street cars, and
tho American boy, permit mo to say that, In my opinion, the latter Is anything
but polite. Ho does not seem to bo taught politeness in tho schools and polite
ness In the average homo Is simply conspicuous by Its absence.
Tho American boy Is not polite; neither is tho American man. Being
American born myself this statement is mado with regret, tho moro especially
aB It; cannot, I fear, bo truthfully denied.
As a boy I was taught to address every man as "sir" and every woman as
"ma'am" and I did so whether tho man or the woman wero beggars or million
aires. Nowadays this is not tho custom, and respect for ago and for sex is very
much lacking. This can be attested any day on tho cars, or In aijy situation
where selfishness asserts Itself over tho prompting of good breeding.
No, I affirm, tho American boy and the American man aro not polite.
AN OLD FOGEV.
Dear M'LIss January 17, 1916, you advised young women to study Spanish
If thoy desired prosperity In salaries. Youv article was headed "Several
hundred firms must go outsldo their olllces for translation of their South
American correspondence," nnd that in a conversation with ono of tho
heaviest exporting firms of this city
nnd answer such correspondence would bo of Incalculable value and worth
her weight in silver that sho could double her valuo to tho firm.
Lest wo forget read that quotation again from your article; then suppose,
that man's stenographer now receives tho iufuntilo salary of $15 per week,
will ho lncrcaso that salary according to her increase in his business,
or to "her weight in silver?" Will you kindly interrogate that prominent
business man, and It he means honest business wo are posltlvo we can find
tome one altogether sufficing for that Inflated promise, lnstanter!
Undoubtedly that "prominent exporter" Is Philadelphia born, and as
such Is ever on tho qui vivo to securo muy muc'io trabapa por muy poca
dlnero! If he and all business men will absorb and let seep through their
gray matter and become thoroughly saturated with tho senso of tho following
words In Spanish that to tho stenographers as well as tho business men
"el tiempo cs dlnero," (tlmo la money), then dig down In their jeans for
tho dlnero commensurato with their enhanced business valuo und for the long
hours of study nnd tho expense required to learn Spanish, thoy will havo
more efficient service.
Tho Idioms of tho Spanish language uro almost innumerable. My
ympathiea are all with tho "stenogs." VEUDAD.
There was nothing In my article of tho date yon mentioned to lead ono
to the conclusion that a mero knowledge of Spanish would bo sufficient to
unlock the gates of El Dorado to ti stenographer. Proficiency In this language,
I was told by experts, could bo turned to financial ndvnntugo by tho pro
ficient one.
It might open tho avenue leading to tho goal of monetary remuneration,
but few goals aro reached by motor. One walks or runs or lights to cross tho
line, and the line of success is no exception.
Whether a stenographer is worth her weight In silver or only in centimes,
depends on the lady herself, nnd a mero knowledge- of Spanish, unsupplcmented
by other qualifications, such as Initiative, perseverance and sound business senso,
would not be likely to produce .startling results.
However, tho valuo of adding Spanish to your mental equipment Is being
attested to more and moro every day, and In particular by the fact of the
congressional agitation now In order to havo It Introduced Into the public schools.
Dear M'LIss I would like to buy some Inexpensive rugs for my summer
cottage. What can you suggest? A. F. D.
Itntr ruga are very quaint, and look picturesque. You enn get several
varieties of washable rugs In delicate pinks, blues, lavenders, etc., at reason
able prices.

PHOTOGRAPHY CLASS
FOR WOMEN OF CITY
Chance to Train for Clean and
Attractive Profession, Where
There's No Rub With Life's
Rougher Side
As the result of an article by
M'Liss calling nttcntion to the fact
that there was no place in Philadel
phia where women could study pho
tography, many women have writ
ten to her asking how steps could
be taken to organize n clnss.
Tho following article, written by
Miss Emily C. Fcrgusson, n mem
ber of the board of directors of the
Lantern and Lcnso Gild, which or
ganization was forming such ti
class at the tlmo the M'Liss nrticlo
appeared, should bo of interest to
the mnny women who want to
"take up" photography.
By EMILY C. FERGUSSON
How few women thero nro who havo
taken up photography as a profession.
Ono could almost count on tho fingers of
ono hand those who havo mado a namo for
themselves In this city, nnd yet whnt a
wondorful calling It Is for n woman; how
well fitted sho Is for It, with her keen
artistic senso and her attention to details,
For tho woman who has to earn her
own living, what profession could bo
moro delightful. Sho Is not thrown Into
contact with tho rough side of business
life, and thero Is splendid sropo for her
own Individuality. Wo havo in Philadel
phia a few clever women In this line, such
as Miss Mathlldo Well, Mrs. Sara Price
and Miss Cnrncll, but why not moro of
thorn?
However, thero Is In this city a club of
women which wns founded for tho pro
motion of nrt In photography. It Is
called tho Lantern and Lenso Gild of
Women Photographers, and comprises
both amateurs and professionals. Tho
club win stnrtsil by n llttlo circle of
women who had taken a course given
some years ngo by Miss Mathlldo Well
at Drcxel Institute, nt the end of which
they decided to woik together to pro
mote pictorial photography. It now has
a studio In tho Fuller Building, with
dark room, enlarging nnd portrait cam
eras. Meetings nro hold onco a week
MISS EMILY C. FERGUSSON
and many interesting talks and demon
strations aro given by well-known artists,
not only on photography but oo com
position and art In general.
Tho club's amwnl exhibition, which Is
held la March. Is Judged by both a pho
tographer and nn artist, and what Is
most helpful, tho l ejected prints aro crit
icized beforo tho club by ono of tho
Judges, who tells why they were rejected.
Now, to promote a keener Interest In
photography nnd to help those who feel
they know llttlo or nothing of tho art,
for it Is an art. It has been decided to
form a class In photography, to bo con
ducted by William L. Deal. This course,
beginning this month, will consist of 10
lectures, with practical demonstrations
nnd homo work, for thoso who caro to
do it, and it Is felt that it will benefit
many who would llko to know Just why
their pictures, though taken with the
groatest of care, aio never "quite satis
factory." I low often a really good subject is
spoiled by a bad background or a jarring
note somewhere. We cannot all see theso
things instinctively. Composition Is ab
solutely essential to a good plc'ure. Whllo
this class Is open to women In general,
who aro Interested In this subject. It Is
necessarily limited, as tho studio is not
large and for practical work can not bo
overcrowded. Primarily the class Is for
beginners.

BRIGHT'S DISEASE SYMPTOMS
AND HOW TO REGARD THEM
By WILLIAM A,
B BIGHT'S DISEASE is most freciicntly
observed In persons at or beyond mid
dle age. Toward 40, tho blood prcssuro
begins to rise, tho Individual begins to
take llfo too luxuriously Instead of stick
ing to tho Industrious and abstemious hab
ItB of earlier years.
Backacho Is practically never exper
ienced by Individuals developing Brlght's
disease. Tho early .symptoms are In no
senso local, but of a general character.
Dlgcstlvo disturbances, headache, cough
and asthmatic symptoms, loss of weight,
loss of strength, nervousness nnd restless
sleep, hhortness of breath, vnguo joint
pains of llectlng character such symp
toms, or nny of them, coming on around
middle age and persisting without appar
ent causo should suggest a careful exam
ination by the doctor and a chemical and
microscopical urine test.
In somo cases tho earlier symptoms nro
failure of eyesight, duo to changes in tho
retina, which a competent oculist would
recognize In nn examination of tho eyes,
dizziness or -mental disturbance.
In somo cases palpitation, bronchitis
and general anemia are the earlier signs.
Two common mlsnppiehenslons about
Brlght's discaso (chronic nephritis) de
scivo coricctlon. First, tho mero pres
enco or absenco of albumin In tho urino
signifies very llttlo "r nothing in itself,
but only tends to confirm nn opinion
founded on physical examination of tho
patient. Second, persons with Brlght's
disease may nnd usually do llvo in com
parative comfort for many years, per
haps 10 to 15 years on tho average and
much longer If they llvo as tho doctor
teaches them to live.
Be it an early, mild nephritis, or a
well established nephritis (nephro means
kidney, ltls means Inflammation), this Is
certain: No particular mealclno or combi
nation of medicines can possibly help Mr.
Jones just because Mr. Smith happened
to feel better after taking It. In fact
medicine Is only of secondary Importanco
In tho treatment, and is administered
rather to affect the neart, arteries or
blood, not to mako the kidneys do what
they can't do.when diseased.
