NEW PARADE HAT LIKED
Becoming to All Types, Say Suf-
fragettes at Private View.
WHITE SUITS FOR LEADERS
Managers Expect Members of
Fifth Avenue Clubs to
Take Notice.

The cost of living is going down-Presi-
dent Taft says SO; but the price Of suf
fragetting is not Here is the new suf-
frage parade hat designed to be worn in
the parade OF November 9, and II costs
40 cents, an increase Of 10 cents over the
price Of the parade hat of May 4.
However, the women who are TO wear
the new style hat don't object TO the in
| crease in the cost OF paradlng, for they
say the hat is more becoming At a pri-
vate view held yesterday afternoon at
suffrage headquarters. No. 80 East 34th
| street for the benefit OF the officers and
invited guests, the new creation was seen
to be a dashing little affair OF white
beaver" with a saucy cockade Of yell
low ribbon on the side and a big yellow
silk button on the top OF the crown.
1t is uniformly becoming. When Mrs
James Lees Laidlaw set the model upon
her black and curly locks the assembly
gasped with delight; and when Miss FL
drld johnson tried another on her blond
topnot they all settled back with a sigh
OF satisfaction.
I'VE are safe" they murmured. 1T
looks we'll on all types"
The party has ordered one thousand Of
these hats from a large department store
and they will be on sale at headquarters
within few days. Everybody who
marches is invited to wear one, in order
that the color effect Of the parade may be
as uniform as possible. but no one will be
obliged to wear It. All Will be welcome
whatever their costume.
Men May Go from Business.
The tired business man homeward plod-
ding his weary way need only stop in at
the nearest drugstore and telephone Maria
he won't be home to dinner because he
met Clarence Smith and they're going TO
march I'm the suffrage parade at o'clock,
and won't she get on her things right
away and come and march, too-the baby
will be all right with grandma.
The very fine suffragists who Will lead
the procession will wear white suits,
crowned with the parade hat, but the
rank and file, who will fall in at the last
minute, will be presented with stoles'
wide pieces Of white cloth ornamented
with yellow suffrage buttons. Every
marcher will carry also swinging golden
committee expect the apparition Of the
moving thousands with their white robes
and bobbing balls Of fire to be one such
as will make even the Fifth avenue club
men SIT I'D and take notice This is
matter Of great concern to the suffragists
because on the occasions Of the two other
parades the clubs looked bored to death.
In addition to the clubmen, the suf-
fragists expect to get the theatre CROWDS
coming and going. They will march down
Fifth avenue just as the evening is be-
ginning winding up at Union Square
whore some will tarry for mass meet
ings and others will dash back up Broad
way in flying squadrons OF brilliantly
lighted automobiles to catch the theatre
crowds They expect to keep Broadway
excited until IL o'clock.
Equal Franchise Delegation.
The most recent addition TO the parade
Is the Equal Franchise League. which
sent over word yesterday that II would
send a delegation led by Mrs. Henry Wise
Miller. Miss Katherine Duer, Mrs. Fred
erick Nathan, Mrs. Victor sorchan, Mrs.
roerton Winthrop and Mrs. Jessica
Finch. and marshalled by Miss Elizabeth
Burchensl.
All summer the party has been beset by
-,,eadinR Bull Moosers and Socialists who
yonted TO be represented in the parade
hut Mrs. Laidlaw resisted all their bland
,.hments until yesterday. Then the other
narties added their pleadings. and she re-
ion,ad saving that as Republicans ana
Democrats had offered TO support wom-
an suffrage referendum in 1916 It was only
fair for them all to be represented IN the
narade. Each party will have Its own Dig
transparency and Mrs. Laidlaw expects
that thousands Of men will march nehinu
the banner OF the Republican party VINO
wouldn't march under a plain, Ordinary
"yotes-for-women" flag.
After the parade Is thing or the past
the party will be able to plan Tor wel-
come home to Mrs. Carrie Chapman CaI'
founder and big boss OF the party 30
far all they have settled upon is the date
for a demonstration meeting, on NeVem-
her 49, at Carnegie Hall Mrs Gait VIII
return from her tour of the world on
November 16.
