Mrs. Austin condemned atrongly pub

'To have all the incldenta the subject
of liRht remark ln kitchen and drawlnr

New York Suffragists Listen to
Sisters Who Vote on Coast.
A woman voter from <al!fornla, Mlss
(ora Fay. whe, ls not only a VOter, but
has the additional glory e,t p,,ssr>s|ng a
sistei who wlll slt In the Kle.toral Col
lege* this year. wandered Into a groUP "f
women at the Waldorf-Astorla yesterday
and found herself a star attractlon.
"Tell us about woman suffrage In Cali?
fornla,'' the rotalaaa anaa ttnpiored her.
"Why." began Mlss Fay glibly. and
then she paused. 'Why, there's nothlng
to te 11. We have the fran<*hlse?thafs all.
We Just have It, and Im so glad we baVC
lt, and so glad four other states hav
Ju?-t given It to thelr women, and so glad
that you'll get It by and by.
"As to whether well use it well-- I
know an antl-suffragist out there abo
trled to get up a petltlon to present to the*
l_eglslature to have the franchise taken
from us-she was so dlsgusted when we
won. But the petulon dled a natural
death-she couldnt get enough signatures
to make It legal. And now that antl ls
golng to vote herself.
"As we have had the vote so short a
time in Californla we can hardly say any
thlng as to Its effect on the meu's atti?
tude toward women. But go into Wyom?
ing, where women have had the vote for
forty-three yeara, and see If the men
there don't think as much of their we.m-n
as New York men do of thelrs:
"I have-, by the way, not met a man ln
Ne-w York who was Oppooad to glvlng
women the ballot. Bome of them frankly
admit that they have a prejudi. , agalnat
lt_they we.uld rather not see their wives
and mothers golng to the polls. Bat there
isn't a one who hasn't a crack ln hls antl
sentlments. And It's the business <>f you
women of N'ew York to find those eraehl
and dig them apart so the llght wlll
flow in.
Another woman voter from Californla,
the* Prtneeaa I>azarowlts Krohtinnovlch,
came up just then.
"I have been so busy wlth work con
bOfltllity of the party "machlnes" needs
no explanatlon. They are struggling now
to save somethlng out of the wreck al?
ready caused by the revolt of polltlcal!y
decent men, and If women are to have a
hand they feel that they mlght Just as
well open the gasolene. tank and strlke a
match. i
These are the prlncipal forees that have
prevented woman suffrage for more than
a generation? all others by comparlson
are nefillalble?and their oppoaltlon ls
slmply a atruggle for exiatence. Thfl
latest element to enter the conteat, how
ever, is so absolutely without an exeuse
for belng that one acarcely knowa how
to dlscuss It. It ls conceivable that an
lndlvldual woman mlght not want an>
voice ln the government even of her own
conimunlty, but that a number of su.li
women should actually organize and work
to prevent all other women from obtaln

women who went to the polls, of the ln

they cast their ballots, and of.the respect
and enthuslasm with which they were
everywhere jjrected. The qtieatlon of

One Girl's Idea and
What Came of It
Things Common or Costly
Are Barred from This
Art Shop.
A girl woke up ln the middle of the
nlRht wlth an Idea. It was such a won
derful Idea that she jumped rlght out of
bed and called up her best frlend on the
telephone. thereby golng Kmerson one
better. When the aage of Concord had
"only an Idea. my dear." in the middle of
the nlght, he merely wrote lt down on
paper. He dldn't burden hls frlends wlth
It In the middle of tbe nlght; but then,
perhaps, Emerson waan't so sure of an
appreclattve audlence. Thts glrl Just
knew that her frlenda would never forgive
her lf ahe dldn't tell them at once.
"I say, glrli, let'a open a shop," ehe
crled Into the nlght, and her best frlend
answered out of the darkness and the tel?
ephone receiver. ?
"All rlght. Thafe a grand Idea! We
could have a bully shop wlth your paint
tngs and Annle's potteries and my Jewelry
and" -
"All right; come to the houae at 9 o'clock
and we'll talk lt over. I Juet called you
up to aee how you llked the Idea "
Nlne girla met and talked It over next
morning and the Studio Shop ls the result.
Last week favored frlends recelved Invl
tatlons on aesthetic little brown paper
folders announclng the shop where
"quaint, begulling and beautiful things
are gathered and made for people of good
taate, and a varlety of gtfte, large and
small, are for aale."
The favored frlenda soon took the op
portuntty to find thelr way to thla happy
aoundlng apot In the Van Dyck Studloa,
and a paternal mannered negro elevated
them to the "young mlestea' rooma."
In the doorway the vlaltora atood itlli,
helpless wlth admlratlon. No mere "ahop"
thla. Rather an arttat's bower, a har
mony of flowera, aoft ailk hanglnga In
wonderful ratnbow eolora, glttterlng brass
es fllled wlth dull red chryaanthemums, old
silver and mahogany. little epleehea of
brlght color which were landecapea, qualnt
soft color*d baskets fllled wlth antique
embrolderies. old carved furniture and
new modelled po'tery In 'qualnt and be?
gulling" shapes, fascinatlng?but the spall
was broken wlth:
"Oh, Marle, darllng' It was aweet ef you
to come. Do tako off your things aad
have some tea."
A strange introductlon to a ahop. There
was no reslstlng the appeal, however,
and a bevy of girls hovered around hospl
tably, untll the ghost of the ahop Idea
' haa vanlahed wlth the tea. There arfl
1 nine of these glrla. by the way. and they
