Morse” - Says Voting Will Be No Burden to Her—No Labor to Drop ' Ballot in Box, When the New York suffragists read last week that an anti-suffragist, Mrs. Oscar Edson, had been employed by the Hudson Navigation company as purser on its boat, the Berkshire, and that the antis proudly: hailed het as the first and only Woman purser, scme of them were considerably an- noyed. It seemed to them that they had been pretty slack to allow an “anti’ to grab the distinction of doing a thing that only men had done be- fore. y Miss Mary Donnelly couldn’t be- lieve that it was so. She felt that there must be a suffragist woman pur- ser somewhere. She started out to look, and lo! right in the Hudson Na- vigation Company she found ‘‘the cause” vindicated. The first and only woman purser act is & double bill. That company's other big boat, the ¢, W. Morse, is tq have a woman pur- ser, too, and she'is a suffragist—Miss Gertrude Smith, of Cambridge, Mass, Miss Smith arrived here only last Saturday, to take up her duties when the C. W. Morse went into commission yesterday, which accounts for the fact that when the “antis” discovered Mrs. Edson they failed to discover Miss Smith. A cheerful, downright little woman is Miss Smith. Yes, she is little. Mrs. Edson, the anti-suffragist, is six feet tall, but Miss Smith stands only five feet one inch in her sensible shoes. Mrs. Edson declared that men ought not to impose on women, “the extra burden of voting." But Miss Smith says that she doesn't feel that voting would be any burden to her. ‘“There’s not much labor involved in dropping a ballot into a box,” she argued on Saturday. of informing myself, T like to know what's going on, anyhow, voter or no voter. And a8 a woman driven out to carn my own living T think I have a right to help make the laws that regulate conditions under which I live and work. “Women have no choice about going out into the world. Of course, 1 might get some man to marry me. but he might turn out a drunkard and leave me, or make me support him.” Stenography is Miss Smith's trade. She also is eminently domestic. “I can bake a loaf of bread, and make a dress, and wash, and iron, and play a tune on the piano,” she boast. ed gayly. “But I can’t sew as well as my mother. She made this coat T am wearing.” 1t was a smart coat in the English style. “Cost me only $3,” said the little purser proudly. *I go to a little shop where they sell ‘mill ends’'’and get wonderful bargains. . I believe woman ought always to dress well out in the bueiness world, and a little planaing will enable her to do it economically.” Unlike Mrs. Edson, Miss Smith be- ! lieves in equal ‘pay for equal work. “I'm speaking on general principles when I speak for equal pay,” she ex- vlained. *I don’t know what a man purser gets, but 1 comsider my. pay satisfactory. I shall like the work and being on the river. The hours are easy, and I have nice quarters right on the boat. The happy day of each month, however, will be when I can scnd my pay envelope to my mother. Father died last February.” Today at 4 o'clock Miss Smith starts out on her job of selling tickets and guarding money and apportioning state rooms. It was said at the company’s offices that the reasons for changing to women pursers were two: It was be- lieved that they would be more cour- teous than men, and women were con- sidered better at detail work. The company wasn't worried over the pos- sibility of the new pursers clashing on suftrage, “For one thing,” said an official, ‘“the two boats sail at different times. If one of ‘em breaks down and the ships pass in the night, of course, ar- guments may be exchanged through the portholes.” BILL ON CALENDAR.

It is not heavy, just a domestic piece in which three girls, Pamela Gordon, Violet Landsdowne and Kate West live to- gether in bachelor quarters and vow to nmever encourage the attentions of man, and, of course, never to marry. When the curtain rises their studio is shown, nicely furnished, although the sleeping accommodations are more adapted to one than three, there being but one bed, in which the girls sleep in their turn, at other times one occupying a divan and the other an easy chair. They are perfectly; free in the studio and in due time they prepare to retire and had donned their nighties and removed their slippers and stockings when Edgar Holt, who had been visiting a | triend’s wife in another apartment, bolted into the studio to the intense Women Readers “Boss” or “Bossed”?

The female parts are pretty evenly distributed and it is seldom that as attractive a trio as the occupants of the studio is found anywhere. Miss Skirvin played “Pam” Gordon, seemed to be the leader in the move- ment against man. S8he showed dig- nified spunk, but with just enough hollowness in her dignity to suggest underneath the real nature of the woman. She moved about with ease, her work all through being brimful of character. Miss Hamilton as Violet looked as nice as any girl could. She could get into a chair or one end of the divan in the studio and curl up like a kitten. ' There was a de- cidedly pleasant atmosphere ‘about her scenes and some of them were 86 humorous that she joined in the general laughter. Miss Perry played Miss West, who was a free lance writer, who developed an ambition to go on the stage and in time gently yielded to the sentimental influence of the opposite sex. Mrs. Hibbard was Lucille, who kept the adjoining flat and to whom the girls in the studio owed money for rent. She had none of the anti-matrimonial notions | of her tenants, but when she found that Edgar Holt was nat going to board with her and was going to wed “Pam"” Gordon instead, she became angry and wept. The character was well taken. Mr. Blackmore played | Bdgar Holt with skill and good ef- | fect, and Mr. Birch made a good clerk in the law office, where Mr. Locke was the senior partner as Mr. Sprague, and who wanted to take “Pam” Gor- | don out to “Shanley’'s” for dinner, { while John Mullin, the. janitor, { brought down the house when upon being ordered out of the studio called the girls a lot of skinny old maids. ! The settings were splendid. PLENTY OF GINGER IN MISS MOZAR'S ACT !

John Perriton was unmistakably a good fellow.. A few people shook their heads gravely, and said that he was hitting the pace entirely too hard. Perriton loved Mary Wales almost as much as he loved himself. Mary's brother, Nelson, was, a weak, helpless individual, who was | aiways in hot water. On the night of the masked ball, he came to Perriton, and asked him for help. He needed money very badly. To make matters worse, he had forged his sister's name to a check and must have $75,000 by the next morning. Perriton wrote an order on his bankers for $50,000, the entire extent of his depleted fortune, and drove Nelson to the station. But Nelson was not satisfied. He had to have the other $25,000. So he slipped put on his dancing mask and a tempted to take his sister's jewels from her safe.
