7 WOMAN BE TAGGED BY MALE EscoRT?I

special Corrsspondencs to The Prbas
NEW YORK, Aug. 21.-Has "a
hotel right to refuse to satisfy the
hunger of q woman simply because
she is unattended by a man?
This is what Is demanded by Mrs.
Harriet Stanton Blatch, probably
the leading suffragist In America to-
day, who proposes to enter suit
against the Hoffman house, where
a recent experience and her threat
to fight it out has caused many
flutter in the big and little restau-
rants of sunny Broadway.
Mrs. Blatch went to the roof gar
den of the Hoffman house with q
woman friend. They were unescort-
ed, and a waiter refused to take
their order. In the Office she was
told that this was l of the regula-
tions of the house, and that it was
done to keep out Objectionable
women. j
1t Is common practice in most Of
the better class Broadway restau-
rants to require that woman shall
NC tbSOl lCu dltCI udIh.
But Mrs. Blatch became very an
cry. She says she will bring suit,
not for the money involved, but to
establish the right Of women to
dine in the public restaurants when
ever they please. She further says
that she has never been troubled
by Objectionable women, but often
by Objectionable men.
There are 100000 women earn
ing their livelihood in the country"
she said, "and it seems strange that
feudal customs should still exist
here. 1t does seem strange that
women whose responsibility is ap-
parent, may not satisfy their hunger
unless they are accompanied by
men, while men, no matter what
their character may be, are admit
ed anywhere"

of Vassar, a member Of the Wom-

Edith and Juanita Jones Of Rose
Avenue are Able to Handle Bees
Without Danger.

Honey bees and humble bees
with their "stingers ever ready
to vigorously piode the flesh OF
sensitive humanity, would hardly
appeal to the average child as
ideal pets. Out on Rose avenue,
however, are two children, Edith
Jones, aged eight, and Juanlta
Jones, aged six, whose favorite pas
time is to capture bees FOR pets.
The season of sunshine and flow
ers, which invariably means a
jplentitude of these insects, brings
Joy to these children.
Many children enjoy the fun of
capturing bees, but in taking part
in the sport big paddle is gem
.erally used to crowd the insects
into wide-neclled bottle, and the
little fellows shudder at the
thought of having one Of the busy
fellows ply his fraile stinger on
their hands or FACE. No paddles for
the Jones children. They carry the
bees in their hands and play with
the insects without any thought Of
fear. And the remarkable part Of

that they have been following this
unusual pastime they have never
