side. Mrs. Nora S. Blatch De Forest.

DE Forest the wireless telegraph and

husband from England and had hung
out the English suffragette colors from
the promenade deck. The letters were
white on a purple ground and caused
much interest in the crowd awaiting
incoming passengers.
Mr.. and Mrs. De Forest went abroad
Immediately after their marriage last
February on a combined honeymoon
and business trip. Mrs. De Forest was
one of the women who succeeded in
getting past the police platoon in one
OF the big demonstrations directed
against the house Of parliament in Oc-
tober. She also surprised the guests
OF the hotel where she was stopping in
London by appearing in short skirt,
a sweater and big sash across her
breast in the English suffragette col
ors, purple white and green, and the
familiar words, ''Yotes For Women"

1t was with the aid of a steward that
Mrs De Forest decorated the Lusi-
tania, the suffragette document remain
ing in place until she was obliged to
leave the ship. The steward confded
to her that he was entirely in sympa-
thy with the suffragettes.

Doctor Doubts If Women Could Stand
Without Artificial Prop.

DR.. L. e. Landrone, whose plan tc
improve the human race by applying
Luther Burbank's plant theories to the
training of children has attracted
much attention, recently commended
the modern corset. In an address be.
fore the members of the Women's Lit
erary club at Los Angeles, Cal, he de.
clared that the stays were good for
the reason that the torso muscles have
been weakened for centuries through
the generous support Of the corset I'M
til now the average female. form could
not stand without its help.
'In the time Of Queen Elizabeth,
you know, women wore steel corsets
tightly buckled in the front and back"
said DR.. Landrone. "They were instru-
ments Of torture. From them has
evolved the comfortable corset of this
date"
The speaker said that the body was
composed of chemical fluids at the
mercy of the emotions. Anger, hatred
and sorrow poison the fluids of the
body, while love, cheerfulness and
happiness serve as eliminators of the
motive fatigue poisons.
"Anger and hatred will poison forty
two fluids of the woman's body" said
DR.. Landrone. Pleasure stimulates,
and that is why when tired, especially
when young, an evening Of dancing
and music will remove all signs OF
fatigue"
