Miss Sylvia Pankhurst arrived this
morning from ST. Louis, and is the
guest Of Mrs. Lee Monroe Miss Pank-
hurst is a young woman of the usual
English dignity and reserve. She has
been twice in prison, and it seems that
the offense was not kicking shins and
demonishing derbies. but peaceably car
rying petitions to English authorities.
She and the 800 other women who have
been imprisoned in England in the
militant suffrage movement, ate their
oatmeal cake in Jail, and resumed their
former tactics as soon as they were
released. Miss Pankhurst is artist
by profession, who became interested
in the Woman'S cause while she was
still a young girl and made her first
address at a meeting where the speak
er for the evening failed to keep the
appointment and she took the roStrum.
with such success as has determined
her to continue the work. She is a
young appearing girl, lover 90" she
says, and is still fancy free. Nv ale
getting married has nothing to do with
the cause" she said this morning, "still
there is no reason why the suffragetteS
should not marry if they care to, only
1 would not advise them to marry anti
suffrag ists, as it would make their
situation rather difficult" However,
such advice is obviously unnecessary,
as an auti-suffragist would be unlikely
to offer himself as a candidate. Miss
Pankhurst is one of the most celebra-
ted members of distinguished family,
all of whom are I've in political af-
fairs of England Her father was a
iurist of note and a worker for the
cause of women. Her mother gave lee
lures in Paris last winter, and was par
ticularly well received by the Ameri-
can colony of artists in the city, and
since her return to London, she has
resumed the work in that city. Miss
Pankhurst will speak tonight at the
First Baptist church on the subject,
English Politics. She is here under the
auspices of the City Federation of Wo-
mems clubs, and Mrs. A. A. GODDARD,
the president of the federation will pre-
side at the meeting, and Mrs. Lee Mon
roe will introduce the speaker Miss
Pankhurst will go from here to Hutch
inson to fill her next engagement.
