II dined at the Carlton with the
Howard Goulds in London" a globe
trotter said. Afterwards we took ou1
coffee on the raised platform of the
foyer, where the orchestra plays and
where you get an excellent view OF
the smart London world. Mrs. Gould
entertained us with the story of her
last balloon trip. She had stayed up
much longer and gone much farther
than had been intended.
The trip she said, ruefully, was
a little too successful
cob said l, can anything be too
successful?'
A temperance sermon was once
too successful Mrs. Gould said
. ''Then she told us how a woman
preached one morning a temperance
sermon to her husband, who was suf

before. The great trouble with you

the servants were out for the after
noon. She told me to come right out
into the kitchen and she would pick
up something. My heart sunk, for
that's what we get every day. l was
frightfully hungry, too. She put on
a dainty apron and started to beat
some eggs for an omelet. She didn't
know how and things began to look
awfully messy. Her suggestion that
we just sit there in the kitchen for our
lunch didn't meet with my approval.
Just then the bell rang and it

Delaney was panicky. What would

talked dress every minute. They
asked me what was to be worn and all

as much information out of me as pos

Goodness, Bonnie! Didn't you

"Then Mrs. Delaney brought out

PHILADELPHIA JEWISH QUAR-
TER SCENE OF RIoTING.

PHILADELPHIA. July 25.-The Jewish
quarter in the southeastern section of this
city was the scene of wild disorder today
when the women of the quarter made DEM
onstrationS against all Of the kosher butch
erS as protest against an increase In the
price of beef. The shops were invaded by
the angry women, pI ospective customers
driven out. windows broken and kerosene
in number of instances poured over all
the meat in sight
A number of arrests were made by the
police and the reserves of three police dis
tricts in which the Jewish quarter is To-
Gated were kept busy dispensing the women
and their sympathizers. A demonstration
was made against two police station houses
in which several Of the women were held
prisoners, and the police were compelled to
use considerable force in dispensing the
crowd.
retail kosher butchers had In recent strike
against the wholesalers obtained certain
concessions In the matter of price. but were
unwilling to admit this, as they wanted to
reap the benefit Of the reduction. The
women allege the retailers have been charg-
ing IA cents and IL cents pound for meat
which last year at this season could be
bought for 10 cents and IL cents. More
than 1000 women met last night and
formed an organization. They pledged
themselves to use all possible effort to in
fuence other Jewish women to join in the
movement against the butchers.
Woman Pickets.
A committee of thirty women was ap
pointed and they were instructed to post
pickets around all kosher shops to urge
prospective purchasers not to buy. During
the meeting Mrs. Ida Gordon, one of the
leaders in the movement, made an address,
declaring:
Poor people cannot afford to pay 16
cents a pound for beef. Some of these
women have as many eight children.
What are they going to do? Their hus-
bands work for the capitalists and get poor
pay. They must pay rent; they must
ciothe the children.
Sisters" she concluded. I'VE will eat
bread and onions and keep up this strike
until it Is won."
