%SUFFRAGETTE NOTES

This is the time when the militant
woman and the Independently thinking
woman are demanding great changes
in the relations of organized society to
themselves said Mrs. G.. We're Tyler at
her studio in New York city.
Mrs. Tyler is the daughter-in-law of
President Tyler and writer of psyche
logical novels and short stories.
IF women are to AXE their places
side by side with men as equals there
must be no two worlds of women, as
there are at present. world of wo-
men recognized and a world of women
not recognized" she explained. II
wonder how many of our fighters for
women's rights recognize this un-
changing law and are ready to abide
by il.
women, who make of another world of
women outcasts in life's endeavor,
woman is a house divided against it
self. 1t must fall unless a universal
sisterhood is recognized. VIII these
forceful, energetic women battling for
a broader life for their sex recognize
the women of the other side of their
house as sisters.
II have Travelled much and have wit
messed the doings of the -suffragettes
abroad, especially in London. / have
seen their attempts to enter parliament
by force; ] have seen them smashing
windows, demolishing buildings, at
lacking high officials and personally
graphing with policemen. / ave seen
also the half asleep women of Germany
and France stirring in their slumber,
envtous of these insurgents. 1 walked
once through the streets of London at
dusk with a prominent s~uffragette
leader. Suddenly / saw her turn il
contempt from a pale, delicate woman
who stood k a shadow at a corner
/ said nothing, but the act lifted a
veil from the memory of my childhood,
when L spent portions OF my time at a
famous old hotel in the downtown dis
trict of Richmond. Directly opposite
this hotel was a small brick house. 1t
had red shades at the windows, always
lowered, and at night through a ar-
row apologetic transom over the front
door cleaned a mysterious red light.
One day ] heard that one of the women
who lived there had died, and that her
body was taken out in the night
through the back door and put in a
cart and carried away to p%otters field.
| cried very much that night. / now
know why. The woman carted away
from the Jack door was my sister. 1t
was the vision of this little house that
rose before me. !
mot many months ago a great par
ade took place in New York. 1t was a
women's parade, and women from all
walks of life marched triumphantly to
back, other on foot. Their were ar
fists, writer's, lawyers, doctors, stenog-
raphers, dressmakers, milliners, shop
keepers, etc. They carried banners

pe%ndence, but i saw no banners mark
ed The Other Women leading a brigade
In that procession.
Would / nave approved of such BAN
ners? 1 would have put them in front.
There should be no recognized Other
Women. How / hate that expression!
Woman cannot Justly discriminate
against woman. She cannot refuse
sanctuary in the new house she is
building to n sister, however differ
ent, according to accepted standards.
She canno refuse the hand of any Sis
ter yorker. Upon this modern house
erected by woman an inscription must
be engraved over the portals, Unto ALI
the Door Is Open. All must have the
privilege of entering or the ous will
fall.
IF woman's present struggle is for
have all his rights and be equally re-
apeeted, But woman, in building her
house, should want more than equal
| rights with man; she would want the
right to deprive him OF his self-ordain-
ed right to brutalize her. She will
/ never be able to take from him these
rights until she opens the door of the
/ house she is building to that part OF
! the woman world that man has un-
fairly captured. AS long as the doors
are shut in their faces and skirts are
drawn aside as they pass they will be
the allies of men"
Great excitement has been caused
In London because the king and Queen
went to a vaudeville show. What
they want now is to get up a con-
! vention on the American plan If they
wish to he up to date in their arnuse-
rlents ard want some excitement
which is really worth while.
