Englishmen, who wouldn’t ote if they were not afraid ave Women in Parliament Weaker Sex to Vote. “Do they depend upon guns?" ! Then we.turned to quieter subjects land Dr. Jacobs told of suffrage in | Holland. Dr. Jacobs herself is not the woman you think of when you visualize Dutch women. Small and dark, she reminds one very little of the ladies with flaxen coils that the Dutch painters have shown us in pro- fusion. But Dr. Jacobs knows her Holland, and knows her Dutch wo- men, and above all things knows the Dutch' suffrage movément to its core. For it was she who in 1885 was the first woman in ‘Holland to ask for the privilege of voting. Dr. Jacobs, as the first woman doc- tor in her country, had found that as a married woman her signature to her own bills was of absolutely no value; ;that as a property owner she had no rights and that though she and many other women fulfilled the requirements of the constitution for voting, and that though the constitu- tian did not prohibit it, somehow she and these other women were not vot- ing. She was told upon her request, however, that the letter of the law allowed women to vote, perhaps, but that the spirit did not. ~And right then and there a new constitution was launched, among other things, with the words “male citizen” re- stricting the suffrage and two years later, when the constitution came into force, the women of Holand were fur- ther from voting than they had ever .been before, 20,000 Members Today. Twenty-two years ago Dr. Jacobs started the Society for Woman Suf- frage in Holland. ~ Today there are 20,000 members in her particular or- ganization,” the strongest one in the country, and 15,000 members of other suffrage organizations. This makes little Holland one of the strongest of suffrage countries. And they are hav- ing their difficulties, too. “We are working against an anti prime minister,” said Dr. Jacobs, “Cort van der Linden is strongly opposed to woman suffrage. Our cabinet of nine men are not in the majority on our side, though there are few strong ad- vocates. .Our parliament.of 100 .men is not enthusiasticc. But we can do nothing except through our parlia- ment. We not only want to get wom- an suffrage through common law, which takes a mere majority in parlia- ment, but also ‘through a change ofl the constitution, which takes two- thirds majority. ! “But we think it is such a shame l that this queen, the first queen in the history of Holland, must sign a con- stitution that does not given equal rights with men to the members of her sex.” Queen Interested in Suffrage. “Have you been able to get any ex- pression from your queen about suf- frage?” “No, we have not asked her. We send her our literature, and once she wrote and asked for it, but we try to be as constitutional as we can, and she is a very constitutional queen, you know. That means that she does not take sides or express her personal opinion about controversial matters. “Our cabinet is really a fine group of men, so wise in these fearful war times that we have a great deal of hope. And also the prime minister says he is willing to remove the words from the constitution, and then let the thing take its natural course, which he thinks would be hard enough to keep us out, I suppose. “The working women in Holland have very bad conditions. You see we have labor legislation which divides the workers into two classes, the men and the woman and children. As long as this division remains and the women have these protective laws the employers won’t pay them equally with men. In other words, they do ‘only as much as they have to for wom- en, and not nearly as much as ought to be done.” Dutch Women Not Suffragettes. “How do the Dutch women go about their suffrage propaganda?’” I asked. “Street meetings and such?” “We are not suffragettes,” answered Dr. Jacobs, making the distinction American people used to make and have forgotten; ‘“we are suffragists. We work like you American women. ‘We send out literature and hold meet- ings in town halls. But there are no street meetings of any kind in Hol- land, so therefore no suffrage street meetings. The officials of Amsterdam are very kind to suffragists and never refuse permission to hold meetings in the hall. We also go in bodies to parliament. “Of course if we don’t get suffrage this October, we will try again in 1917, when a new administration comes in power. And the general body of Dutch men feel just that way about it, too, I think, that if we don’t get it now we will later. And they're right.” « Mixed Berries. Red and black raspberries, having such a different flavor, are delightful when mixed. If some blackberries are put in the same dish with them the combination gains in variety. Cur- rants are also a piquant addition to the red and black raspberries. If you want something different from sugar and cream make a bowl of meringue, taking one tablespoonful of sugar to the white of one egg and flavoring with vanilla. Serve this.meringue un- cooked in little glass dishes at each place, and each one can dip the cur- rants or other fruit in at will.

LORD FAUNTLEROY AT POLI'S THIS WEEK “Little Lord Fauntleroy,” the fa- mous children’s stor ill be present- ed this week at Poli's theater. The leading role, that of Cedric, is taken by Miss Ynez Seabury, the small daughter of Forrest Seabury of the Players. She has appeared in many roles with leading productions, as well as in Biograph moving pictures, and those who have seen her act an- ticipate a noteworthy characterization. Mr. Seabury will take the well known rart of Dick. The story of the play, known to -rractically every one in English speaking countries, involves the for- tunes of the Cedric Errol, later called Lord Fauntleroy. His father had been disinherited because of his mar- 1iage to an American girl of no fur- tune. The two elder sons having died without issue, the old Earl sends to America for the heir to the estate. Cedric goes to England and after some difficulties obtains his rights. Miss Seabury will receive the ehil- dren on the stage after each matinee. After the matinee Tuesday ‘the audi- ence will be invited to ' meet Billy Long, the new leading woman'who has already captivated the theatef- goers of Hartford.

Her reasons for thinking as she did were honest and worthy, but her op- ponent’s motives were not. How did she know? How Do They Read Pcople’s Minds. I can't tell you. I suppose she knew in that mysterious way in which certain people always know that the person who does not think as they do is iInfluenced by unworthy considerations. Cut from the same piece of goods are the people who are always sure that anyone who criticises them is narrow or prejudiced or actuated by dis- like, envy, pique or some other unworthy motive. A young girl was obstinately bent on pursuing what seemed to every- one about her a foolish course. Her older sister was arguing against it. “Aunt Lucy thinks you're making a great mistake.” “Aunt Lucy!” said the obstinate one contemptuously. an old fogey."” “And Miss Marshall” (her high school teacher) “thinks it's absolutely crazy.” “She wants everyone to be a teacher like herself. thing by what she says.” e Everyone Was Prejudiced Against Her, “Well, Ruth” (an older girl for whom the youngster sister had always had a great admiration), ‘‘said she was terribly sorry to hear you thought of taking up that work. She didn’t thing you were at all fitted for it.” The obstinate one never wavered a moment. “Well, I wouldn't have thought Ruth would let herself be influenced against me by you and moth- er,” was her prompt explanation of that. It plainly never occurred to her that any of these people might be sin- cere and wise in their criticisms. They criticised her; she was right; there- fore they must be either prejudiced or ill-advised. Plainly this is not the road to self-improvement and progress. contrary. Question—I am debating whether to send my girl to a co-educational college. Do you think that such a college is dangerous to a girl's morals or manners?—Anxious Mother. 7 Answer—Emphatically not, if she’s any kind of a girl. Personally I am a great believer in the beneficent influence of co-education in keeping a girl so accustomed to the other sex that she doesn’t lose her head when- ever she sees a man.
