The great Cunard steamship,

uentIeal with the "Lusitania," ex-
seeds that vessel slightly in size, so
that the PLAN Of being the greatest

sense Of richness without the garish-
ness which so often characteristics the
decorations OF expensive modern
suuctQres. So successful Is the re.
suit that the effect upon the passen-

MRS STOKES SPEAKS AT BARNARD.
Discusses Socialism Before College Girls, Who
Auplaud Her Talk -

Tho BARNARD -(,bapter of the intercollegiate So

cipal speaker Mrs Rose Pastor stokes VINO au
dressed the society on the subject of socialism
&c q practical possibiIity. The Barnard girls are
much interested in this subject large audience
was present attracted by real interest IN iIe
subject. as well as by feminine curiosity TO see
the speaker.
College girls a rule, are critical OF tfle "oiiie
sneakers who address them. but even they agreed
in praise Of Mrs Stokes's appearance and man
ner Mrs. Stokes has charming personality Whleh
held the audience as one girl said "hypnotized oy
her fascinating manner She direct and IN
formal in her address. or. she said. Il cannot
lecture Just talk"-which, after six hours OF
lectures the girls enjoyed much more.
Those who attempted to critcise the talk on
its merits as a plea for socialism, however, were
mt so united in their praises Mrs. Stokes pictured
tho horrors of modern industrial conditions, and
indulgad In idealistc dreams of the heavenly con-
ditions which would prevail under soclallstlc
regime But when the unsenttmental college girls
demanded facts. she declared this is not time 10
so into details
Her general argument enthusiastic plea
for socialism, vs. which she said. the laborer
would receive the fun value Of the fruits of his
labor and the country would have industrial as
We'll as political freedom Organized charities are
good but not at all SUFFICIENT she said We are
irving to empty our social fountain with little
phianthropic pals, but private ownership is a
pipe bringing in poverty faster than we can bail

money has been wrested from the poor than to be
Just and give it to them they earn it.
Poverty makes immortality easy The women in
the streets are not fallen but they have been
knocked down by this accursed system OF financial
tyranny.
After the lecture the girls asked Mrs. Stokes
questions and after giving her a hearty Barnard
cheer crowded around to grasp her hand.
