New York, Oct. 5.--Lily Langtry,
now Lady de Battle, is again In Aneri-
ca having just arrived on the Cedric.
A trifie more reposeful, the lines of the
upper lip little moro marked, the
Lily is still in the bloom of never
dying youth" She wore, ON her ar
rival, black silk gown with long
pannier, a brocaded silk waist with
open, square-cut lace yoke, a string
Of pearls black hat and feather and
gray cloth gloves.
1t is her first visit here in five years.
and she now returns with a theatrical
company Of four, including herself
With Mrs. c. M. Fleming, c. S. r.
Bevan and A. F. Mansfield, she will
present for B. r. Keith a playlet, a
satire, with a serious side, on the suf-
fragette movement. It is entitled
Helping the Cause"
A Peaceful Suffraaetts.
Il am a suffragette myself" said
Lady de Battle, %but do not believe
in the militant methods of the English
women who are demanding the fran
chise- believe they have set back the
cause in England five years. In Ameri-
ca the advocates of votes for women
are more tactful. Woman suffrage
should be advocated with the tongue,
not with brick. AS the result of
more tactful methods the cause here
is really further advanced than at
home"
The former Mrs. Langtry says she
has been contributor financially to
the cause and is now helping to sup

hurst, a voluntary exile in the French

prisoned for throwing bricks at Par

paying Miss Pankhurst's hotel bills in
Paris, Lady de Battle says.
On invitation of Mrs. August Be-
mont. Lady de Battle viii make few
speeches here.
America" she said, should cult
vate more flowers. In England every
available border of a walk Is planted
with towering shrubs. sown with seeds
of poisoning plants and made into a
beautiful row of green bloom and fra

people, including Lawrence D'Orsay,
all the time 1 can spare in my garden.
1t is a promoter of youth.
Il arr also interested in the return
of colored clothing for men. the re-
vival of the picturesque and historic
costumes. l am interested in a club
at home which has this return to the
old styles for It's object. Stocks, rufus.
spats, side whiskers, colored waist
coats and colored hats are already. seen
again in England.
Standardization of clothes for men
gives them no opportunity to show
their taste their skill in matching col
ors. their love of display, their fond
ness for warmth and richness in tints.
We may look before long for the re-
turn Of plum colored, long tailed dress
coats. and perhaps knickerbockers,
with silver and good buckles and lace
cuffs. The success OF fancy balls proves
that men have taste in dress and can
display individuality as well as wom-

Lady de Battle went to the Hotel
Beauclaire, at Seventy Ninth street and
Broadway. Helping the Cause will
be seen first at the Colonial theatre

over the United States. for the Jersey
