spend lavishly on its remodelling, were
too many doors. and only one sunny
window. The paper, fortunately, was OF
a pretty plain tint OF pale gray-blue, and
the woodwork was white. Even had the
occupants been able to afford the con-
version OF one Of those doors into a
window, the fact remained that all OF
them led into dark passages or up attic
stairs. SO another method Of circum-
venting their monotony was invented and
applied, with notable success and charm
BY good fortune, the door most easily
to be dispensed with was about three
Inches inward from the frame, precisely
the same distance from the wall surface
as the sash of the one window Also,
the superfluous door nearly faced that
window, with Its sunny outlook on a
broad meadow. From the attic was res
cued an old broken framed mirror, which
was freed OF its frame and set carefully
secured by strips OF white picture mould
ing, In the upper two-thirds of the door
to all intents and purposes duplicating the
window sash opposite. Narrow strips OF
white painted wood crossed II, Stimulating
the division Into window panes, and a
wider strip took the place OF the window
ledge. Then inexpensive rods and brack-
cts were put in place across the top OF
both door and window, and Powered cur
tains were hung. The effect was that
of another pretty window, facing the real
opening, and rejecting the bright out
of-doors visible from the easement oppo-
site, almost doubling the light In the
room and taking away from the effect
Of smallness and narrowness which had
at frst been so noticeable.

RIVAL SOCIETIES AT LAW
Difference of $500 Between
Women Foresters

Justice Gerard will listen to-day to the
troubles Of the Harrison Circle, No. go.
Companions OF the Foresters of America.
In this case Mrs. Kate Duchardt and
several other women, members OF the
Harrison Circle. are the plaintiffs, and
Mrs. Kate Huxley and several more
women, former members OF the circle,
are the defendants.
The plaintiffs declare that the defend
ants seeded from the circle and became
members Of the Lady Foresters OF Amer
lea, rival organization. Mrs. Duchardt
and her companions, further declare that
when Mrs. Huxley and her followers did
so depart. they took with them $500. books
and paraphernalia belonging to the COM
panions, and they are trying to get these
back.
The allegation is made that the defend
ants called meeting and tried to re-
pudiate their membership in the circle
and disband II, which was not quite In
accord with the constitution. Mrs. Du-
chardt and the others say that the $500
that the defendants took when they
Joined the rival organization belonged to
the sick benefit fund.
The defendants make no denial that
they took tho books and the money, but
say they have offered to refund the
money on basis proportionate with the
remaining membership. They say that
they decided TO disband the circle, and
that the charter was returned to the
Supreme Council.
About twenty-five OF the members OF
each organization were IN court yester-
day awaiting the calling OF the case
Among them was Mrs. Anna h. Poth

IGNORE MAUD MALONE
Suffragette Leaders Say She
Must Swing in Her Own Orbit.
DISAPPR0VE OF METHODS
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw Thinks
Turbulent Star Should Join
Some Constellation.

Dr. Anna Howard Shaw, president OF
the National Woman Suffrage Associa-
ton, feels that II Maud Malone elects to
be votes-for-women comet, shooting
around on her lonesome way through
space when she might be allied with
some nice constellation of suffrage
workers. why she can't expect these con-
stellations to stop in their courses and
back her up when she hits q magisterial
planet.
That isn't the reason that DR.. Shaw
didn't attend Miss Malone's little affair
In the Court of Special Sessions over In
Brooklyn the day before yesterday. DR..
Shaw was so busy planning how the
National is to fight the liquor dealers
who are trying to wrest the suffragists'
victory from them In Michigan that she
didn't even know Miss Malone was hav-
ing a trial. But when she was reminded
Of it she didn't appear to be remorseful
for not being there
Anyhow, she thought Miss Malone
ought to have sat down when Governor
Wilson told her he couldn't answer her
question.
Though, mind you, don't agree with
him that woman suffrage is not national
question:" she told the Tribune reporter.
1T is national question, but when Gov
ernor Wilson declined to answer Miss
Malone shouldn't have kept on standing
and talking.
Il really don't know very much about
the case, or about Miss Malone, for It's
long time since I met her; and I was
out West when her arrest for disturbing
the Wilson meeting happened 1 do think
It was outrageous that she was arrested,
outrageous that she was compelled to
spend q night In jail.
THE newspaper account / saw said
that she told Mr.. Wilson I address you
as an American But he wasn't there
as an American; he was there as the
representative of the Democratic party.
which has chosen not to declare itself on
the question Of woman suffrage.
Miss Malone is doing things In her
own way, and she mustn't look for suf-
frage organizations or their members to
stop their work 10 rally around her when
she gets into trouble. II she won't ally
herself with some body OF women workers
she must be prepared to stand alone In
crises and take her medicine"

BY Aida Il. Hazard.

In acceding 10 the request OF The Trih-
une for my views on suffrage for women,
please allow me to make my position very
clear Let It be plainly understood that
speak for myself only; that / represent
no organization, nor do profess to speak
for the majority of anti-suffragists.
With this preamble / will state why 1,
a woman with thirty years experience in
social work, have no sympathy with the
cry of Votes for women"
In the first place, granting the fran
chise is purely a matter or expediency.
II some people got together and, found
ing a government, decided that only red
haired people with one eye could vote
they would be entirely within their rights,
and the two-eyed people with brown,
blond or black hair might go elsewhere
IL they did not like the franchise condi-
lions. Probably, however, such a restric-
ton OF the franchise would not long exist
because 1t would not be found expedient.
Expediency-that Is the touchstone Of
the whole situation. What reasons do the
suffragists give us to make us believe that
the granting Of the franchise to our sex

have said reasons-not assertions. They
deal largely in assertions and prophecy.
This is convenient for them, as they fit
facts to meet their assertions, and proph-
ecy always lies over the hills" in the
land of tomorrow.
Takes Issue with Anna Shaw.
Perhaps we should admit that the suf-
fragists add promises to their repertoire
of assertion and prophecy When DR..
Anna Shaw returned from California re-
Gently she is reported to have said: "Ono
of the great advantages OF suffrage Is
that men and women In society talk poll
tics together. Imagine such a thing hap
pening at a reception in New York nowl
Votes for women will bring II about"
Far be II from me TO try to imagine the
sort of conversation prevailing I'm the ex-
allied sphere of social life In which Miss
Shaw evidently moves. For all / know
il may be founded on Town Topics" and
the alleged picture Of the -Four Hundred
given in the average society novel. l can
only say, however. that in my own more
humble circle, for at least six weeks, be-
fore the late election, one heard very lit
tie but politics in season ana out OF sea-
son. and the Rev. Anna Shaw would have
made equal suffrage more alluring II she
had said that with the ballot woman
would soon be too bored to even talk poll
ties.
Clear, cold. calm reason shows us there
can be no advantage in doubling the vote.

exercising the franchise as men (heaven
