SPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF THE CALL

'ENcE OF THE CALL
designs with silk braid, and with wide
bands of white guipure lace.
a great many mantles and long
cloaks, covering the white and light
colored gowns, were to be seen, being
in liberty silk in all colors. These
eloaks are very becoming and popular.
another cunning costume was of white
linen. The short pleated skirt escaped
the ground by three inches. while the
short fitted jacket was trimmed with
small fiowered cretonne like material
In pompadour designs. This material,
also, was used for the parasol. a large
hat with very full crown and lace ruff
fies was very appropriate for this girl
ish and fresh looking outfit.
The only sensation caused at the
racetrack was the wearing OF a hat
Of the second empire period. with
huge black bird OF paradise at the side.
II was not very becoming and was
rather too original TO be much admired.
The crush after the races was ter
rife. Many women had their finery
completely ruined in the rush for car
riages and autos. One was obliged
very often TO wait for hours before be-
ing able to obtain any kind of We
hicle. Many people prefer to drive out
instead OF attending the races and
meet the crowd returning, seated
quietly in an auto or carriage or view
ing this wonderful parade from some
OF the thousands of seats provided all
the way along the prescribed route.
The fashionable restaurants in the
Bois have been taxed to their utmost
these past two weeks and tables were
reserved many days in advance and at
a high premium for lunches, teas and
dinners.
What with the suffragettes' march
through London last week, 10000
strong, and that OF the suffragettes
march in prospect the coming Sunday,
when. they assert they Will turn out
10000 strong, a demonstration is
likely TO take place that will create a
revolution in Woman's position in more
ways than one. With aeroplanes ready
TO fly about in all directions over our
heads. one may well think that this
round. old world is reeling merrily on
to its end.
1t viii be seen from the above fig
ures that in England the suffragist
has assumed formidable
and is championed by
women whose position in the literary
and working world carries weight
The question of the franchise for
women is not. il seems, 10 be a general
thing; only women who are tax pay
ers to be given the privilege of voting.
In many parts Of England women
occupy positions on school or town
boards, but in the United States this
has been the case for many years.
