Doctor W. B. Palmore probably win be
ShWfi m reasonable length of time In which
to spake an apology 1r ''Is attack on the
lassVs Auxiliary of the German-Ameri-cn
Alliance. At a meeting of members
of tbe organization yesterday afternoon at
th homo of Mrs. X Valentine Schmidt
the mystery or tli returned letter m
solved and Its solution did not lend to
i-hatige-the opinion of the women with
regard to the pr-acher who arsailcd
l hem.
ft wa thought at fin that Doctor Pal
mer had returned unopened the letter of
protest which Mrs. Fernanda Richtersent
to hm. That In Hsetr was regarded as
an affront. Iut now the women ray that
an additional insult has been offered to
them. Mrs. Rlehtcr explained at yester
day's grating that she had not opened the
envelope after It return to her. but that
be had tak-n It for granted that Doctor
Palmore bad not shown her enough con
sideration to ad her Ineloetire. In tlie
presence of Mrs. Schmidt and tbe other
jaiuibiu or tlio committee she opened It.
Thev found that Doctor Palmore bad
rgien 'he lttr enough attention to In
dite a reply on th bottom or the aneec
on which It was written. Thn lie
marked out the address on the .metope.
Mrs. Itlchter called attention t.j t!i fact
that he dll not take th- trouble to re
address the envelop, but that be simply
placed a ring around the Instructions fur
return printed In the upper left-hand cor
ner of the envelope.
