1-caring that they will hne to We. hop
ing that they won't lmo to oto, and oh I
so womanly In their Indecision as to
whether they will or will not oto should
the nwful calamity of polltlcal'nfranchlc
ment descend upon them, Pennsylvania
tntls" today are at sixes and sevens ocr
the suffrage lctory In New York.
What with predictions coming from all
sides that the passago of tho Fedcrat
amendment will follow closely the New
York victory, It looks like a cold, cold world
to tho nntl. Still here, though the dodo bird
and dlnosaurus nre gone, tho nntl has not
mado up her mind exnetly how she will
adapt herself to tho new condition, should
It arise.
To oto or not to vote?
"I nm not prepared to say," Mrs Horace
Brock, pres'dent of the Tennsvlvanla Asso
ciation Opposed to Woman Suffrage, ex
plained, nnaljzlng the nntl attltudo, "Just
whether I should vote or not. My attitude
has ulvvays been that we should bow to the
will of the majority. A passago of the
federal amendment would not express the
J?.f.,th.maJorlly- 0ny a referendum
submitting the question to tho vote of the
peoplo all over tho country, would do that.
"Wo antU shall fight this Federal nmend
merit Its passago woulA ho a serious blow
to democracy Hut, as the New York Times
points out, there isn't a chance for tho
I edcral amendment because the Southern
States do not want suffrage
'The Miffrugo vlctorv In ( New York l a
great calamltj," she continued. "It vvlil
mean the breaking up of the home
"Why will it mean tho breaking up of the
home?' she repeated "Well lecauo It
means socialism, and one of the planks In
tho socialistic platform Is that women have
to go out and earn their own living
"Socialism, pncltlsm und pro-Germanism
are closely nllled to the suffrage cause
Of course, thero may bo a few loval women
who nro suffragists, but the cause Itself
Is pro-Oerman Its all so foolish"
"viuiuiiib iu jirs ucorge White, a mem
ber of tho executive board of tho antls'
organization, the New York victory seems
to bo "an upheaval of tome sort"
"I don't know exactly what It Is," she
said, 'but It seems to be an upheaval of
Ronip sort, the sulTrage victory In New York.
It nas brought back the return of Tam
many and haR given impetus to socialism
It Is u great misfortune to us
'Tor j cars and jcars women have been
tho leaders In Ideals and ethics; for gen
erations" she warmed "wo havo been the
ethical builders Now It beeins women will
have to light with a man's weapons Instead
of with their own Women have been the
teachers mid the leaders, now they arc
mnn'H opponents It puts woman very,
very low Whether or not we vote, should
tho oto bo thrust ifpou us Is a matter for
each woman to decide for herself. . haven't
given the matter sufficient consideration
as yet."
Seme women, lucky Westerners, are born
voters! others, battling through hide-bound
prejudices, achieve It glorious New York
ers and still others have it thrust upon
them foolish llttlo antls.
Asked to comment on Mrs. Brock's state
ment that suffrage Is allied with socialism,
pacifism and pro-rjermanlsm Mrs. Oeorgo
A. Dunning chairman of the Philadelphia
Woman Suffrage party, said, bubbling over:
"Wo are having a iubllco party at head
quarters tomorrow night to celebrate the
New York vlctbry. We are alt so happy 1"

In these big stocks of Suits and Overcoats that
we were fortunate enough to provide for this
season of extraordinary conditions, there are
fabrics and patterns which we cannot replace,
once they are sold out! There are beautiful
fancy weaves and mixtures that may not be'
loomed again until some time after the war is
over! We have numbers and numbers of just
such Overcoats and Suits, and they are being
snapped up every day ! There's no such thing as
refill orders this season for most of them ! The
old adage of the early bird was never more
applicable to anything than it is to them right
Now ! And their prices are based on what the
materials and making cost us before the present
conditions in the woolen markets were reached.
You will make no mistake in getting yours today I
