SA YS WOMEN MUST LEARN
THROUGH THEIR MISTAKES
Mrs,. Lorimer Disapproves of Separate Party for Them and
Insists Co-operation Is Better
"Tliough women nro not unproparcd
for the suffrage, though they nro by no
means ignorant of tho theory of our
government nnd the mechanism of our
party politics, there is always a wide
dilterence between tneory ami prac
tice," said Mrs. Oeorge Horace Lor
imer today.
"Tho necessary working knowledge
thnt Is essential to practical accom
plishment can be gained only by experi
ence, and that experience can be
obtained only by getting, Into politics
nnd learning, in the usual way, through
making mistakes and profiting by thera.
"Though women nre newcomers nnd
learners, I think they will bo found to
bo earnest and apt pupils.
"There is Just one way in which
women can learn quickly and be effec
tive, nnd that is by affiliating them
solves with tho existing parties, by bo
Voming working factors In the or
ganizations and by insisting on equality
of opportunity and representation in
their councils ns fast as they provt.
themselves fitted for it.
"The sugt'estion of a special women s
party is n negation of tho idea for
which most of us hne been working.
The last tiling that we want, tho last
.thing that women should btanil for, is
sci nntagonlsm in politics and that a
the very thing that a separnto woman s
party would crystallize. Woman
suffrage misses its real purpofo unless
it brings about co-operation between
men nnd women who nre sincerely
working for good government.
"It has always seemed to mo thnv

first lady of the land. Mrs. Edith Gait

Tho gown, gracefully draped on a

Intest addition to the American his-

More than thnt. It Is attracting more
attention, for instance, than the hand
painted, billowy creation across the
aisle In another glass case, worn by
a mannikin representing Martha Wash
ington herself.
Mrs. Wilson's gown is black. Most
of It is velvet. The mannikin wears
white gloves. Also silver slippers. And
for be it from n masculine mind to at
tempt more detail than that. Suffice
it to say Mrs. Wilson, in presenting it
to the museum, observed thnt it had

There's n whole roomful of glass cii'-es
