splits in their political parties. and wom-
on ask with bated breath what has hap

cause such at catastrophe as a Montague
and Capulet feud between the house OF
pankhurst and that of Pethick Lawrence.
The W. 6. p. Il. members meet here,
there and everywhere TO discuss new de-
yelopments Whenever you see in

en- in purple and green, with soulful eyes
and unwayed hair, severely dressed, you
nav be sure they are weighing the Peth-
lex Iavrences against the Pankhursts or
vice versa.
Everybody gives different reasons for
the split. The Peths all declare that the
Pankhursts are so swollen with power
that they have become unbearably arbi-
trary and that nobody can work with
them. while the Parks assert that the
Pethck Lawrences have turned craven

An Americans Castle

From Harper's Bazar.
 The castle is a comparatively modern structure. It was erected at a cost of more than one million dollars by the late Mitchell Henry. wealthy merchant and one time home rule member of parliament
 His son in turn erected the $lO0,000 me morial chapel situated a short distance from the castle. The estate was bought by MT. Eugene Zimmerman. the Amer ican railroad man, who has presented 1t to his only daughter, the Duchess of Man chester.
 The American buyer remains to this day the nominal master of this unique prop erty, and he spends about half of each year at Kylemore developing the noun tain domain. His revolutionary policy IS as manifest within the castle as without and A complete installation of bathrooms is one of the American comforts he has introduced at Kylemore.
