PETTICOAT RULE
COMING IN BRITAIN
Kate Atherton Predicts That The
Suffragettes Will Win and
Control Votes.
A WARM TINE FOR THE MEN.
Asserts Women Will Be Supreme and
Pay Men Back in Their
Own Coin.

NEW YORK, December 11.-Gertrud6
Atherton, the California novelist, pre-
diets that the women of England will
win the fight for equal suffrage that
just now is attracting the, attention of
the two continents. Furthermore, Mrs.
Atherton believes that when they do,
there will follow an era of petticoat
rule under which Mr.. John Bull will be
paid back in his own coin for all the
tyrannies he enjoys under the present
social system.
While Mrs. Atherton disclaimed any
intimate knowledge of the woman sufr-
rage question, and would not venture
an extended opinion on the merits of
the controversy which is convulsing
Great Britain and which, already, is
being widely discussed in the United
States, she expressed sympathy for
the cause of the English women. Mrs.
Athertons broad experience as a trav-
eler and writer and her comprehensive
grasp of modern social problems make
her prediction of peculiar interest.
HOT TIME COMING FOR MEN.
Il think the English women will get
what they want" said Mrs. Atherton
today in an interview with an "Ex-
aminer'' correspondent They are In
deadly earnest in this fight, and equal
suffrage is coming in England as sure
as fate. And when they do they are
going to make it hot for the men, fol-
they are greatly in the majority and
will be able to outvote the men on any
question they choose to advocate.
There are SO many more women
than men in England that the relation
of the sexes is obviously different thar
1t Is in this country. Over there wo
men have come to occupy a less i'm
portant position than they do here
| The men have lorded IL over them 50
I long that when the women get The
power of suffrage they will be ruthless
in the exercise OF IT,
! LITTLE CHIVALRY FOR WOMEN,
English women do not get tn
homage that Is paid their American
sister, Englishmen of course are po
lite and have good manners, but the
do not hestow upon their women al
the little attentions that are common
IN this country, Their attitude IL ON

men are lacking in a knowledge of the
small chivalries.
For example, an English woman is
struggling to unfasten a rebellious
veil. 1t does not occur to her escort
to untangle it and relieve her of the
annoyance. Under the same circum-
stances an American man would spring
to the rescue at once. This is only
random comparison but it illustrates
what l mean.
THEY HOPE FOR EMANCIPATION.
"Of course, the reason for this con-
dition is obvious. Women are bound
to be petted more in a country where
the proportion of men is greater, and
they cannot command the considera-
ton where they outnumber the men as
they do in England.
1T is possibly because they see in it
the promise of relief from long suD1u-
CATION that English women are so
reused over the fight for equal suf-
frage. 1t offers an emancipation for
which their condition of life has made
them crave, and they will not rest un-
til they achieve. And when they get
into the saddle, why, they will run
things"
Mrs. Atherton would not speculate
upon the possibilities of a Parliament
of petticoats or of the changes of leg
islation or government that might be
an outgrowth of a political dominance
of women in Great Britain. She said
! she had not given the question close
study, and that it had not interested
her more than in a general way.
MAY WRITE NOVEL ON SUBJECT.
She said some day she might feel
impelled to make it the subject of a
novel, and that then she would investi-
gate it from every viewpoint. AS to
the sentiment toward equal suffrage in
the United States, she was in doubt.
Il don't imagine there is any uni
versal demand for suffrage among
| American women" she said. They
reign supreme under their present con-
dition in life, enjoy broad social lib
erty and have everything they want;
so they are not in the discontinued
frame of mind of their Englisch sis
ters Therefore there is no widespread
! motive for seeking any change"
PLANS FOR NEW BOOK.
Mrs. Atherton arrived here from
| Germany last Tuesday and in few
days will seclude herself in the Adiron-
dacks to write a new novel which is to
have as its heroine an American girl
who becomes a grand opera prima don
ma. The scene will be laid in Munich
twenty-five years ago.
Mrs. Atherton has lived in Munich
the greater part of the time during
the last six years and, In fact, called II
her home, but she has given mp hel
residence there and henceforth expects
10 live IN this country, going abroad
when Il becomes necessary to gather
literary material She will visit hel
old home In California next summer

The man murmured a faint reply in

tinued:
"The evidence against you is COM

provide heavy punishment. It now
rests with yourself whether you will

upon my recommendation. Whether l
shall interfere or not depends upon

A faint tinge Of color crept into the

promise that your punishment for

Two days after the above CONVERSE
