WOMEN HERE CELEBRATE
SUFFRAGE VICTORIES
Everybody So Happy at the
Carnegie Hall Meeting That
SuIzer Is Forgiven.
MUCH MONEY GIVEN AWAY
Ten States Have Now Joined
the "Cause"-Mrs. Blatch
Says Liquor Men Are
"Our Worst Enemies"

In spite of his faults. they love him

a catch TO be cast lightly aside. even If
| he has little blemishes In his record,
| like leaving to go to Orange, N. j., during
the snrage parade, or refusing even TO

ton of citizenship last night at Carnegie
| Hall.
Instead OF scoring poor William Sulzer
for his failings Mrs. Harriet Stanton
Blatch praised him for the lofty flights
of imagination" in which he referred to
a suffrage bill which she said never
passed. These aviation stunts OF the
governors brain reflect popular opinion,
according to the suffragist, so what are
a few little facts I'm comparison? In proof
OF their forgiveness the women unani-
mously passed resolution congratulate
ing Mr.. SulZer on his support Of the
cause.
1t was manless meeting-alas for the
great politicians who we're to celebrate
citizenship with their sisters! Not even
DIR. Wiley appeared, though the women
had counted on him as on their dearest
friend. DR.. Wiley was travelling in from
New Jersey in somebody's automobile,
and at IL o'clock had not been heard
from.
But the women had a perfectly grand
celebration all by themselves. The alb
sence of a man or two could not affect
their Joy in the acquisition of four new
states for suffrage, and the brand new
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES pins which
the ushers handed out.
Carnegie Hall was crowded. The stage
was joyous with silk flags against a back
ground of palms and chaste white pillars
Around the gallery hung silk peace flags
Of all nations, loaned by DR.. Robert
Friedman. A big silk flag, with electric
lights, hung at the back of the hall and
at signal from Mrs. Blatch the women
turned and waved thousands of tiny flags
in what she called a royal Chautauqua
salute as the light flashed out from the
ten stars for the ten suffrage states.
Then from UP in the gallery Frederick
Nathan yelled Three cheers for the
states" and the women Joined in, jubi-
lantly IL not uproariously, for they
couldn't all see Mr. Nathan and didn't
exactly know what all this was about.
Happy in Giving Money.
The greatest JOY of the evening was not
in saluting the flag, nor even in singing
the women's 'Marseillaise," but in giving
away their money. Real roars OF laughter
swept the house as the women entered
into the fun of this way OF celebrating.
How? CAN managers of church fairs and
penurious orphan asylums take notice.
The suffragists gave money in the name
of their anti-friends. sort Of gloritica-
