The evening world., 1911-02-14
Here for Suffrage Fair.

MrS' Gilmore mas a very beautiful
speaking voice. I; is like a rattle.
Jus!nesslike cello. !; Toes no, sob nor
trdil and yet the notes OF 1t hold haunt.
.Eg Sweetness As n matter OF fact I.
VII say line FOR me to adriit at once
| .."ed everything about ..is. fillmore.
! nave always liked the things She
writes and consequently when learned
she was in New York and to be at tho
Three Arts table OF the Susan T.
Anthony fair and reception in the
Belvedere of ;he Hotel Astor to-day |
"a GLAD OF the opportunity to see her
! :ouu. Mrs. Gilmore in a quiet
hotel on lowe Madison avenue, where
sic Is stopping, and in a room with a
typewriter ana some exquisite pieces of
japanese embroidery by way of per-
sonal possessions.
My home was originally in Massa-
CHI is" Mrs. Gilmore explained
and ! spend my in the Wcs,
| only really came 10 New York -four
years ago. But ! think it is a wonder
fui place. Some day. soon. / hope. |
want 10 write OF it,"
You really have not found II .1e
brutal place most people seem to think
IT, ! asked.
Mrs. Gilmore shook her head.
There are too many w~age-earning
women in New York for it TO be
a cruel city, she answered. The
women who work, who earn their
own bread, are always quick with
their sympathy and aid. In a city
like New York. where such a large
percentage OF the women are sell-sup-
porting. one cannot but feel the kind
ness, But, then, I love New York. To
me 1t is wonderful to think of the
young, strong blood being poured into
its heart each day. lust think how the
young people come from everywhere In
the world here to this city, 10 work on.
their very souls in he pursuit OF sue
cess.
But We Lack Babies.
Maybe New York is not a place for
children. | presume we shall have 10
admit that. You know | was thinking
only the other day In all the time
EaVe been here cannot recall tina, ms
Of the couples | have known have had
a laly, TO be accurate, | have heard
Of exactly baby in four years. But
that does not mean tAcre are not am
babies. II only means young married
people with families 10 ear do not live
IL New York. II would not be sensible
to do 80. Taey take their children OF,
where they may rave fresh air and
room 20 play"
you rave a wonderful understanding
Of children 1 commented, remember,
ing Mrs. Gil,more's Martin family.
TO me- all children seem Gen.uscs,'
she replied. Il often think We are a.
given an equal chance as children, bat
that life and COnyentiOnalit!cs ROB us e.
our indiv!dua,ity. / never Yet met @
child who was not a real individual
simple and direct. We start equal as &c
soul. That is why It has always seemed
a dreadful th.ng to me for a mother tc
forbid her child n play with this one
or with that n because OF a dlfferauct
in the others creed or race or position
PerHl. a enid TO act for Itself and II (!
the perfe!t democrat. In this resper,
Save never met any grown person wht
was cutie democratic enough 10 suit me-
They may be democratic Themselves
a., they Min not allow their children :,
re 81. They say, Yes. | shall do thes,
things; snail associate vita whom
saevor J please. but ! VIII not let m,
Gallo Fancy such a thing, Fancy d..
tiaguish!ng between Young. pure souls
Which all goes 10 show Mrs. Gllmor,
j. an optimist. There are persons WI,
would tell her New York Is not the piac,
for a pure soul anyway.
