HIGH TEA IN THE CABRILL0
Woman's Press Club Entertains Miss
Anthony and Miss Shaw

The Southern California Woman's
Press club entertained the famous wo-
men suffragists in the upper cabin of
the Cabrillo at "an English high tea
given in a Spanish ship, served by an
Italian in Venice of the United States"
The guests of honor were seated at
a long central table with Miss Anthony
and Madame Severance at the head.
The others at this favored table were
Miss Shaw, Mrs. Spring, Miss Fanny
Wills, Mrs. Florence Collins Porter,
Mrs. Sweet, Mrs. Eliza Tupper Wilkins,
Miss Mary Anthony, Miss Jessie An
thony Capt. and Madame de Blumen-
thai, Mr.. and Mrs. John w. Mitchell.
The high tea proved to be more of A
feast of reason than feast of material
food. Mrs. Sweet, president of the press
club, made a graceful little speech of
welcome to which Miss Anthony re-
sponded. Miss Shaw, Madame Sever
ance, Mrs Spring and DIR. Norman
Bridge spoke briefly.
John w. Mitchell, who said he had
always been opposed to equal suffrage,
declared he was glad to be present,
Then he paid the usual compliments to
the beautiful faces" before him. The
tribute was received with applause, but
Miss Anthony rose from her chair AMI
solemnly rebuked Mr.. Mitchell.
Don't praise our beauty" she ad-
monished. Praise our intellects. Find
beauty in our minds instead of our
faces"

who desire to help along the cause
should join the National association.
Mrs. Rebecca Spring was next intro
duced, and Miss Anthony stood beside
her while she recalled some of the
changes that have taken place in wo-
mans social status within the span
of her ninety-four years of life.
Two men were on the afternoon
program. Francis Sylvester Monnett
of Kansas, famous in his own state for
his war on trusts, explained the legal
status of women in the United States.
Mr. Monnett is not special advocate
of equal suffrage. He occupies neutral
ground. He said that woman suffrage
states might be divided into four
classes. The first are the taxpaying
tana and New York. These have ex-
tended to women the right to vote on
bonded propositions for public improve
ments. Under the second head he dis
cussed school suffrage. Seventeen
states have extended to women the
right to vote for school boards in mu-
inequalities. Kentucky limits this
right to widows. In Massachusetts, a
state of great intelligence among wo-
men, he declared the women let some
OF the school elections go by default.
Under the third general subdivision
he pointed out that there was but one
state where suffrage is limited Ito mu-
inequalities. Since 1887 the state of
Kansas has been dominated by statutes
giving women the same authority to
vote, but repeated efforts to, enlarge
the limited right have failed. Under
the fourth subdivision Mr.. Monnett
classified the states in which women
have full suffrage. In Idaho, Utah,
Colorado and Wyoming there exists a
political phenomenon" that the speak
er declared to be "inexplicable."
The Rev. Henry Frank of New York
smoothed feelings that were ruff1ed by
Mr.. Monnett's non-committal remarks,
and then the real enthusiasm of the
symposium was awakened by Miss
Shaw
The Rev. Eliza Tupper Wilkes intro
duced Miss Shaw, who devoted most of
her time to answering questions, and
she was ready with an answer to the
most skeptical of the skeptics.
1--WE women have been made fools of
long enough" she declared as soon as
she began speaking. Women do not
think of men as their enemies. We
women know that men do not wilfully
Keep women in subjection. 1t is be-
cause men are still under subjection
that our condition is as it is, and they
will never be free until the mothers
CT men are free.
MANY people declare that it is wo-
men who are unjust to the men. but
why are women not just to men? II
women are not capable of demanding
that men be just to them, they are in
capable of being just to men.
"There has been too much said about
ruling a man by fooling him. / once

"The new man will not have such
hard time at the hands of the old
woman as the new woman has had at
the hands of the old man."
Miss Shaw gave statistics, which
she said had been compiled by men,
to prove that while the woman of to-
day is a much better woman physical
ly and mentally than the woman Of
fifty years ago, her brother is not so
fine a man either physically or mem

said she. "He must be perfectly

great theorist. She had theories
on housekeeping. diet, education,
dress and love, which she took great
delight in expounding to her family and
friends.
Now it so happened that, during q
sojourn in a distant city. she met very
nice young man who became enamored
CT her and whose affection she was in
clined TO return. But as she had pet
theory concerning engagements. she
withheld a. definite answer to his on
treaties that she become his wife, and
said:
Although | love you, cannot answer
you in the affirmative until your affection
for me has undergone a test. From
what you have told me OF yourself you
have associated but little with girls
How then, can you be sure that your
love for me will endure Therefore,
leave me for one month, during which
time no communication shall pass be-
tween us: associate with other girls as
much as possible and If at the end OF
that time your heart is still true to me
1 shall become yours for all time"
The young man protested and pleaded
with all the ardor of love, but the
theorist remained firm In her decision.
Finally the lover bade her a reluctant
adieu, and was off to keep the compact.
The weeks went by and the end OF
the month came. The theorist, who Dy
this time, Ii must be confessed, had
become exceedingly lonesome for the
nice young man, attired herself In her
most becoming froek and awaited with

BRYAN'S SHIRT.

When William Jennings Bryan, twice
Democratic nominee for the Presidency
of the United States, appeared at the
Chetek (Wis.) Chautauqua a year ago
he was entertained at the summer cot
tage of Eau Claire's exMayor. w. H.
Frawley. The day was sitting hot.
Mr.. Bryan had just completed a two
hour talk and finished shaking hands
with several thousand people. Perspir-
alton poured down his face. His collar
was wilted and his clothing clung to
him as wet as though he had been
soused in the lake. He was rowing
over to the Frawley cottage. Arriving
there the great Nebraskan said to his
host and friend:
"Bill, would like to change my un-
dershirti'
He was ushered into the guests
chamber, where the change was made.
Mr.. Frawley took the damp garment
just discarded by the orator to the
towel rod which projects from the
range.
Several prominent ladies present
assisted the hostess to prepare the
sumptuous dinner, already trifie late.
The potatoes are done." said one
lady, poking fork into the Murphies
in the pot.
