HTPATIA. daughter of Theon. the. math
ematician, stood In the massive lecture
halt of ancient Alexandria, teaching the
doctrines of IMato and of Aristotle. In
the street outside the hall awaited long
rows of handsome vehicles for the cultured
folk Insldo.
typatla wm the exponent of free think
Ins. Her commonts on the writings of
Apollonlus, her lectures on philosophy and
her teachings of the sciences of the day,
had nttrncted wldo attention. She had be.
come the lender of thought In the most
Intellectual and cultured city of all time.
But Uvre were those who were opposed
to "free thinking." There were those who
would "defend the morals" of the times;
those who sa'di "Thcso lecturers and
street speakers ought to be done away
with driven out of the country. This
woman Is changing the most cherished
Ideas of all our people. Woman's place
Is In tho homel"
So Hypatlo was taken from the temple
of learning, dragged Into tho streets, stripped
naked nnd dragged about tho city. Her
corpse was cut to pieces and the flesh
scraped from the bones and thrown Into a
fire. Thus did Intolerance bring the death
of a woman, and with It the end of philos
ophy and learning; thus were ushered In
the dark ages, and thus woman took her,
"place In the,home." It was the crucifixion
of progressive thinking and progressive ac
tion. Or, Kato W, Ualdwln, one of the few
Philadelphia women members of tho Amer
ican College of Surgeons, a member-of the
Clinical Congress of Surgeons, the first
woman Interne In a Philadelphia hospital
and a member of the general surgical staff
of the Woman's Hospital, believes that to
day, with woman returned to her political
rights, has come the "resurrection" of pro
gressive thinking, and consequently progres
sive action.
SCOFFS AT SEX DOMINANCE
In her office at 1117 Spruce street today
Doctor Baldwin, a small, very active, quick
thinking woman, sat dreaming of the past
and of the destiny of her sex. She had
been scurrying about from clinic to clinic
for several days, gathering Ideas from the
world's most noted surgeons, who were
In Philadelphia attending the Clinical Con
fess. "No." she said, "I do not believe that
Woman will transcend man In the science
and art of surgery. This talk about the
superiority of woman over man and of man
over woman Is all bosh, light and airy,
cheap and meaningless talk. There Is no
dividing line between the thought and ac
tivities of woman and man. We must con
sider the Individual and not the sex. The
sexes must supplement and help each other;
they must Intermingle In accordance with
the dictates, of mind and ambition of the
Individual members.
"If a woman, for Instance, feels that she
Is fitted to practice surgery, that Is what
she should do. And she should not be
circumscribed by those who would hold
progress back by reminding her that she
Is a woman that this profession Is ex
clusively a man's profession and that that
profosslon Is exclusively a woman's.
"People who think like that," she con
tinued, "forget the place that woman held
and the rights that woman had In the an
cient times when art and literature and

intolerance; doomed
Doctor Baldwin's philosophy will not lt
her dwell long In conversation on a ques
tion like woman suffrago or woman's rights.
Her philosophy enables hero to see almost
nt a glance all the various things that
revolve around such a question. With It ns
a lense she sees all the problems of the
present day and back through the vistas
of history.
She sees what Intolerance of woman's
rights has dono and what It can do again.
She sees what Intolerance of most of the
present-day agitations may do.
"But progress cannot be halted or
stopped now as It could In tho nnclent
days," she said. "We are thinking less of
tho dollar every day and more of humanity.
America is now holding up to the world
tho light of humanity. And Intolerance Is
being trodden down.
"Twenty-five years front now there will
be birth control In America. Holland, after
twenty years of Just such arguments ns
the Ignorant are making here now, has a
law controlling birth. New Zealand now
demands birth control. It must come In
America. It has got to come. If America
Is to lead tho world, as she seems about
ready to do.
"In those countries where birth Is con
trolled the populations have Increased, In
stead of diminishing, ns the opponents of
birth control In America prophesy It will
do here. The morals of those countries
have Improved along with the control of
birth.
"Vet we are hearing people cry out
against It ns a question not even to be
publicly discussed. They aro really the
people whose Ideas and whose Intolerance
would bring again the dark ngeu. They
would oppose woman suffrage, temperance.
world peaco nnd all the things for the
betterment of the world If they knew as
little about those things as they know
about birth control.
"Ignorance Is usually the parent of In
tolerance nnd Intolerance once put the
world In darkness. Shall It bo nllowed to
do It again? No. We have become In
tolerant of Intolerance and with humanity
Instead of bigotry ruling the world, our
progress cannot be stopped."
lroir to Se( the Table for Halloween
THfi popularity of black nnd white for
decorative purposes helps considerably In
the preparation of a properly eerie Hal
tbween arrangement, and If you want to
obtain a thrllllngly ghostly effect for the
table, make It a "witch table."
The table cover for the occasion should
be of white paper with ft deep border Of
black, broken up by a procession of witches.
This Is a standard cover itnd easily, obtain
able. If possible, pure black and white
china, or, otherwise, simply four candle
sticks of black and white will be sufficient.
Witch broomsticks can be made by cutting
strips of paper Into two-Inch widths and
then fringing them. Cut off about two
Inches, fold double nnd tie this fringed pa
per to the end of a stick of candy lemon
sticks or 'peppermint sticks or the- fringe
may be wrapped around the randy "lolli
pops"; when they are placed upright they
look for for all the world like diminutive
broomsticks.
These candy "broomst'eks" can be used
In many ways for garnishing, ns favors,
etc. A trlnod of three sticks can be used,
lied together on top, nnd spread out on
bottom, lenvlng space big enough under
neath for a small dish of lees, or a small
ramekin containing a not dish. The dish
should be attached to the top of the
"tripod" by n ribbon to give me cneci oi a
suspended witches' cauldron.
As a contrast to black-and-white a few
strong splashes of red should be used. The
room may be decorated with branches of
tho scarlet sumac, nnd ptneed at Intervals
on the table n bright red apple, on the top
or which can be mounted n paper witch s
head on n toothpick. Sandwiches, cas
seroled dishes or salads can be served with
a dash of red pimento, ana Ices topped with
red maraschino cherries, lied Jack o lan
terns shining through the sumac branches In
various parts of the room will add greatly
to the witchery of the room.
The easiest Halloween cakes to make are
those with a gingerbread foundation. Ilako
a few pans of gingerbread, nnd then cut
them mto any shape desired. They can be
rut Into little cups, Iced on the outside, nnd
then filled with cone-shaped mounds of Ice
cream, so as to rcsemblo witches' peaked
runs. Or. if vou bake Individual ginger
bread murflns you can Ice them on the sides
carefully In broad strips so that the brown
lines along tho sides will mnko eacn mue
cako look like a brown-and-whlte lantern.
aingerbrend wltchcn, skeleton heads or
black cats can be made with the following
recipe; One cupful of milk, one cupful of
sugar, one egg. one tablespoonful of
molasses, one teaspoonful of ginger, six
cupfuls of flour, three tenspoonfuls of bak
ing powder, one teaspoonful of melted but
ten Mix, roll out and then shape. This can
he done by taking any picture of witches,
black cats, etc.. desired, placing over stiff
cardboard and cutting the cardboard In
the exact shape. A small sharp knife can
then be used to cut the batter Into shapes
desired.
