IN NN i4N1 uoue ll,a IioNel CicFo- R land is reaping the conse- quenees of again assailing the fortress of female suffrage. In a few words, MT. Cleveland is in a '.stew," and if he takes the time to read what numer- ous renowned female suffragists are say ing about him in print he is liable to re- gret his haste. 1t is a wise man who stays out of an argument with a woman and recklessly bold one who enters into controversy with hundreds of women who have sharp tongues as we'll as sharp intellects. Among the "heavy guns that can be distinguished in the general vol ley of replies which MT. Cleveland's pa- per in the Ladies' Home Journal eliclted may be mentioned Susan B. Anthony and Carrie Chapman Catt Mrs. Catt al- ways did seem to have peculiarly apt name for her line of usefulness, but we will let that pass as mean fling. Susan B. Anthony annihilates MT. Cleveland with the assertion that We don't ask any man to find the God-given sphere of wo- man" Without pausing to consider that woman's "God-gven sphere may be that of clothes it is easy to see that Susan iutdilS DuSlHtSS. At ItlHdlliocl Ol Aci interview bears out this assumption, and what Carrie Chapman Catt has to say is an ample sufficiency. Club women and woman's suffragists are disposed to make matters warm for MT. Cleveland. The country at large is taking a keen in- terest in the conflict
 Just for the experience, pick up a last years copy of some magazine and read the advertisement therein of the Equita- ble Life Assurance society before the storm broke. There is such difference. The movement to abolish theatre orches- tras in large playhouses where straight dramatic performances are given Is one that should be carefully considered and then dropped. A good orchestra Is the l life of a theatre, whether the perform ance be opera, musical, comedy or legiti- mate drama. Many a theatregoer has been able to survive poor play with the aid of the orchestra, whose cheerful airs helped to dispell the gloom which accu- mulated during acts.
