Here is one of the most attractive skirts that could be suggested for the dancing or afternoon frock. It consists of just three flounces over a plain foundation and the flounces can be made with either ‘scalloped or straight edges, and consequently they are adapted to many different materials. They are cir- cular in shaping, and the circular cut always means graceful lines and foids. The mode] is a good one for the favorite silks and also ?or the many beautiful cottons, in fact, for almost every season- able ‘material, for it can become simple or elaborate as it is treated in one way or in another, In the large view, fiowergd taffeta is finished with acalla;u and with bound edges. In the back view, plain cotton crépe,in one of the beautiful buff shades, shows plain edges undétfaced and that treatment would be a good one for linen, piqué and all similar materials as ‘well as for the crépe.

At the very moment when inter- nationalism among women has com- pletely broken down, and those who, standing togethér, might have . laid the emphasis of the life of the world on certain common human planks' that deal with life es only women ¢an know it, some effort to unite the women of the world is being made. Miss Katherine Anthony, author of “Motheérs. That Must Earn,” will bring out in September a volume on ‘“‘Fem- inism’ in Germany and' Scandinavia that should in a measurs dispel for American women the notion of the German sisterhood as fashioned to ths Kaiser’s casily cartooned demand fo. women safe in church and kitcheu with their children. Most Significant Triumph. “The womeén of Germany have scor- ed a most significant triumph, in s6 far #3/two polnts—perhaps.the most important—of their propaganda have not only been discussed but approved ot at a conference by no manner of means a feminist one—-i, e., the meet- ing of the charity organization of Germany for the discussion of social problems. ““These 'two points,” she continues, “the incrsased protection of illegiti- mate children and vocation and mar- rlage, are now to be Yrought before the government. Y “In the.case of the former it was moved that illegitimate children of soldiers killed in war receive equal pensjons 1o those born of legal mar- riages’ (the measure that they receive allowdnces during the lite of the father' having already been passed,) and that they be allowed the use of the father’s name.” “Vacation and Marriage.” The discussion on “Vacation and Marriage” as part of the day’s pro- gram was brought forward in recog- nition of the fact that a much larger percentage of women than hitherto would in the immediate future turn wage earners, and it was urged that all social workers should help to make conditions for working mothers easler, relieving them iy far as pos- sible by simplifying their domestic problems, thus giving them sufficlent leisure Tor spiritual development and, if necessary, time for attending the meetings of trade unions, the schedule of working hours in tha lives of these consisting mostly of onsome - JULY 26 ‘At 7 o’clock at RENTSCHLER’S PARK for 6 . - Days and Nights the whole twenty-four. She goes on to tell us that the question of illegitimacy has been continually discussed for many years, present conditions simply intensifying the urgency therof, there having been N Women “Standard Bearers of Freedom.” . more than a million illegitimate chil- dren under age in Germany before the war cver started, Recognizes Illegitimate Children. Norway, she statss, 1s the first country to give her teminists nothing more to ask for with regard to'ille- gitimacy, for in March of this year a law was passed—by no means on emergency law, for it has been pend- ing for the last five years—giving il- legitimate children absolutely equal right to those born of a formal mar- riage. “Yes,” she smiles, “ the woman of Norway may be said to have more on hor Christmas tree than any other.” “What reason do you give for this?” I asked her. Perhaps the efficiéncy of the wom- en as a whole; perhaps the bond ot comradeship between men and women is greater in Scandinavia than any- «here else. “I have heard a reasén for this given in the fact' that in past cen- turies the ‘wars of Scandinavia were invariably fought out of their own tevii*nrics. #o that Lhe men weat o to fight, leaving the women in fuli charge of affairs of home and state.” Spirilual Sympathy, “Do you find that the German and Scandinavian women work hand in hand?” “There is certainly a spiritual sym- pathy between the women of Ger- many and Scandinavia, just as there is between the English and- American women. I might perhaps say that the women of Scandinavia get their inspiration from their Geérman sis- ters, succeeding where they fail, be- ceuse Germany has still so ‘many in- termediate steps to go through before attacking the problem of woman's suffrage. “We must not overlook - thé fact," she continues, “that the system of voting for men in Germany is far, far behind the vne man one vote sys- tem, and the Socialists there have their hands full in fighting this one campaign.” Education Urgent Problers. The problem which the German feminists have seized upon as being perhaps the most urgent is that of education. Germany’s greatest need at preseat is co-éducation, existing nowhere but in the little state of Baden, which in many ways has prov- ed a ploneer of the feminist cause, Only during the last five years or so have thore been established here and there “gymnasiums” for girls giving courses which would gain admittance to a university. And only very re- oently have women been admitted at all to & university, they having pre- for'she. It will be mailed to ' ed therein and attention drawn [ By POROTHY CLARKE.

Miss Anthony tells us that up to 1908 it was forbidden for women to have official relations with any polit- ical party. Since then, however, the women of Gern.any have firmly al- Med themselves with the Soclal Demo- crats, it ‘being worthy of note that up to the present this party has been absolutely loyal to feminism, in which respect they somewhat differ from the Socialists of Belgium and Austria and the Progressive People's party of ‘Germany, who simply used it for thefr own ends, eventually betraying it— a deep humiliation for these leaders of feminism who had given their best efforts to a party they thought allied with their own. By “Translations.” “By what meuans could the women of Scandinavia be brought into closer contact with the women of England and Amercia?" 1 asked, s “I might answer by the one word ‘translations.’ And through an inter- national suffrage magazine. Such a one exists already, I know, publish- ed in English—a kind of trade jour- nal of the woman's movement—bu: it should be made more popular, Translations of articles on feminisin in other languages should be publish- to works publishei abroad.” She complains for imstance, that “Out of the Camp of the Mute,” uy Camliila Collett, written in Norwegian one of the most important of recent works on feminiem, has been trans- lated into almust every known lan- guage but English! “‘Let the women of America not for- get that the women of Europe look upon them as the standard bearers of freedom,” says Miss Anthony. “THE GHOST BREAKER"” AT POLI'S NEXT WEEK It isn’t often that the management of a stock theater can present for the first time in a city the size of Hart- ford a play that has proven an im- mensely . successful venture in the metropolitan centers. Yet that is cxactly what 8. Z, Poll does at Poli's theater this week, when the Poll players will be seen in . B. Warner’s great success, ‘“‘The Ghost Breaker.” To show .that the play has the stamp of popular approval firmly affixed upon it, it is but necessary to say that it played for one solid year in New York with Mr. Warner in the leading role and its runs in other centers have been correspondingly Icng. It has never beén :presented in Hartforq at any prices and there- fore comes for its initla] appearance at popular prices. The story of the play never fails to hol1 the attention of an audience. Bessie MacAllister makes her bow as a member of th Poli players. Miss MacAllister h: been engaged from a large number of available actresses to play second leads, her past record having ocon- vinced the Poli management that it was fortunate in securing her services. She hasg had wide stock experience, baving appeared in geveral large cities in some of them ag leading woman. She succeeded Rose Sthal In the lead- ing role of “The Chorus Lady.” Tomorrow evening there will be a benefit concert at which fourteen reels of motion pictures will be shown, in- cluding two feature fiims.

The last * opportunity of seelng ‘this five repl masterpiece will be this evening as the management has been unsuccessful in an attempt to secure a return en- gagement. The theme of the plot deals with the old code system Of the southern states of fifty years ago “Rule G"” states that there should te no alllance between two families, and especially not by marriage. This is where the fun begins as there has been a love affair brew:ng for some time. The proud parents are at last forced to give in and a re-union of the two families ot the South in trought about. Other feature films are booked to wind up the week's en- tertainment, each of which are new releases. Harry Burgoyne, the English hu- morist, has the audience eating from his hand when it comes to handing out jokes about the United Kindom. His statements about the different types of characters in the rural dis- tricts cause a riot in the laughing de- partment. An act of exceptiona: ability is furnished by Miss Juua Moore M company. In all there are wseven and each one makes a decided hit with the audience, especially the old fashion ones which are featured by this re. markable trio. . McKenna and LaBlanche wind up the performance with a song a dancing sketch which resembles so what the entertalnment of Julla Moore. The fame of these two com- edians has spread broadcaste and at every performance there are more friends to welcome them. l Hoa.ie_figld é/otes I‘ A cupful of anything means a haif pint.
