A. Homage. Not as "A Right.

To the Editor:
1t is not surprising that when men oner their
seats to ladies in the cars they often get no
thanks for It. In half.civiled countries women
are simply slaves and beasts OF burden, deprived
ot all liberty. The Mahometans do not even admit
that they have souls and no woman Is ever teen
in a mosque. In civilized countries woman has
been raised to the level OF man; but We Ameri-

Miss Lillian Russell deserves her sue
cess. She is one of the hardest working
women in her profession. Ever since
she has had the means to do so she ha,
taken lessons, and she is taking them
yet. The day her engagement to Mr..
Chatterton-P erugini was announced, she
took vocal lesson. To the amateur for
whom she was obliged to wait a few
minutes before being admitted to the
practice room. Miss Russell confessed
that 1t was fact that she was going
to be married in March. that she didn't
care who knew 1t. and that married or
