PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 2%.--Much indignation was expressed by promi- nent society women and persons dis- tinguished in art circles here to-day over the frank criticiam of Mias Janet Richards of Washington of the fash- jonable costume ball given tn Horti- cultural Hall on Tuesday night under the auspices of seven of the leading art organizations. Miss Richards, who visits thie city twice a month to address a class of 400 society women on current topics, took occasion in her address in the Broad Street Theatre on Wednesday to denounce the costumes worn at the ball. She had witnessed the masque and the ball that followed. The ball, Miss Richards is quoted as saying, wae “horrible, vulgar"—so horrible that her companion said to her, “This hall should be raided.” She saw mei she said, attired in nothing bi “paint and loin clothes,” and young women who offended decency almost as much as the men by their scanty costumes of animal skins draped over one shoulder, leaving the arm and side bare orrible,” she is said to have to think that parenta would their daughters to uppear in other allow such costumes or to dance with men in such a state of undress, And it orrible to see men in their bare Richards's statement was too .” said Miss Harriet Sartain, President of the Sohool of Design for Women and President of the Plastic Club. “I was present at the ball and I saw nothing which would warrant such sweeping condemnation. You can see such costumes on any bath- ing beach and they provoke no eriti- | cism.” ———— SUFFRAGE NOTE. “Votes for Women" reads a sign on the teepee entrance of a Weminole chief deep in the Ever- glades. jacinta “3-3-3” SUBWAY TIE-UP.
