Washington. Jan. 1.-The novel
spectacle Of women wearing medieval
or ancient Greek costumes, instead OF
the conventional dress, depicting the
different stages of the woman suffrage
movement, will be witnessed here on
March 3, when the woman's suffrage
parade takes place.
Plans for the proposed parade which
will probably traverse the route to be
taken by the inaugural procession that
escorts President Wilson on March 4
from the capitol to the White House,
were formulated at a woman suffrage
meeting here to-day.
The procession will be divided into
five sections, and with each section Will
be heralds dressed in medieval costume.
who will from time to time along the
route of the parade repeat famous sur
frage speeches which have been made
in the last few years In this and for
eipn countries. The parade Will be
composed Of floats. allegorical figures
portraying the condition OF women

from the dawn of creation down to the
present century. Perhaps the most in
teresting feature from national stand
point will show the progress OF the
suffrage movement in the United
States
The suffrage leaders have not yet
been able to obtain permission from
the District authorities for the use OF
Pennsylvania avenue for the parade,
but they have not given up hope. In
case they do not secure such permis-
sion. ii is said they will use some other
prominent street for the parade.
Announcement was made BY Miss
Alice Paul. Of Philadelphia, chairman
Of the permanent headquarters OF the
congressional committee of the Ma
tional Suffrage Association. which were
dedicated to-day. that the principal ef-
forts Of the committee would be to
secure from tbs extra session OF Con-

viding for al amendment To the Con-
stitution of the United States enfran-
chising all the women OF the country.

"uIRE A MAN TO TEACH US"
Ex.Assemblyman Murray Tells
Suffragists That State Spent
500, 900 Learning What
They Know.

Mrs Rehecca Friedander took charge
q the meeting of the Legislative League
o. the ,Naldorf-Astoria yesterday. which
means that it was a hot suffrage meeting
and no anti dared show her head.
Mrs Friedlander said, H. her opening
remarks. that whenever she net any
body. man, woman. colored boy. white
hov. chambermaid. cook. butcher. baker
or candlestick maker. the very first thing
she said TO him or her was:
What is Your opinion on the question
OF woman suffrage"
Individual conversion to the cause was
the purpose of her existence. Mrs Fried
lander said; she talked it all day on the
steamer when she went abroad. and the
only reason she didn't talk il i'm Europe
was that she had never been able to learn
10 say votes for women in French and
German.
I've got a votes for women rubber
stamp" she continued. "and not thing
goes out from my house without that
stamp on it, 1 stamp every check. The
bank people used to laugh. but they don
laugh now and I'm told by bank officials
that my check messages have planted
more than one seed.
we women have got to get busy, now
that :he referendums so near, and one
,hing We must dove must learn to
march. Did you ever see anything like
that evening parade November 9? Every
woman struggling along at her own sweet
will! We want 10 form classes in march
ing right away, and hire good man
teacher-a man teacher. and pay him well
to teach US 10 make good appearance
in our parades."
Mrs Friedlander devoted part Of her
speech to demolishing the argument that
women mustn't vote because they can't
fight. She said. in the first place, there
wouldn't be any war If women voted. be-
cause not a woman living believed In
war: IN the second place, women fought
in the Balkan war. proving that they
could fight
