BERLIN, Nov. 21.-"Music hath
charms to soothe the savage beast"
Lady Grace of Westmore, young, beau
tiful, educated, accomplished musician,
linguist, sociologist and "anti-Pank-
hurst" suffragette, believes that this
applies to man as we'll as beast. Armed
with a valuable old violin worth many
thousand dollars and many blank
books for SIGNATURES, Lady Grace came
to Germany and today is endeavoring
to soften the savage" German mascu
line hearts with her beautiful music
long enough to ask for their signatures
as sympathizers of the woman suffrage
movement. Lady Grace wants 1000,-
900 signatures to show Sir Edward
Grey that even in Germany-hostile to
everything womanish-there is much
interest and sympathy for the woman's
movement when rightly conducted.
With her bow and fiddle and her COM
polling manner she has captured about
$4,000 names so far. When she gets
through in Germany, she says she is
going to America.

OHIO PRISON REFORM
Has Proved a Great Success Where
Honor System is in Vogue.

| COLUMBUS, O., Nov. 21.-Prison re-
| Thomas of the Ohio penitentiary ever
since he took office and more deeds
than words have marked his advocacy
of question which is being agitated
today. Thomas was perhaps the first
prison warden to give his charges real
outdoor exercise of the kind that made
them forget that they were practically
nothing more than Gagged creatures. He
organized the "Penitentiary Baseball
League" and every week, all summer
long, one game was staged in the pris
on yards, and all inmates ''in good
standing" were permitted to be just
fans.

this into practice and today stated
that he believed his statistics proved

New Brand of Shoes.

Most women would be willing to give
their sole" for the stunning new but
ton shoes of patent kid with uppers OF
duvetyn to match the inevitable duve-
tyn costume without which no winter
wardrobe is complete.
They have rather long vamps OF the
kid unrelieved by statching, or tips and
all the rest of the shoe is of duvetyn
except the high French heel Of the
patent leather.
In shades of taupe, brown or grey
the combination is particularly chic.
The maid or matron thus shod can
never be shoddy.

received, is probably more attributable
to the fact that she is woman OF title
Quite aside from the political question
said Lady Westmore, the women have
| much to learn yet from the men before
they can expect to remove the preju-
dice against them. She declared that
what the intelligent men hold more
against women than anything and
everything else, was the lack of honor
between women and women and woman

Women Cause Harm.
1.-THE greatest harm done to woman S
cause has been by women, not by men, "
said Lady Westmore. Keen observers
must come to the conclusion that wo-
men do their own sex the greatest
harm. Where four or five men meet
as friends, there is a certain code of
honor among them that is observed.
They will stand by one another and if
necessary one for the other. When
four or five women are friends one
can be almost certain in most cases
that one or more of them will merci-
lessly criticize, analyze and belittle the
other in some way. When several wo-
men meet they are almost certain to
talk about some of their friends in a
way that men would not. The code of
honor among men in that respect is
far higher than that of women.
If there is a stone to be thrown at a
woman, you may be sure that it is a
woman's hand that will hurl it. 1t is
women who commit these little in
famies toward women. Men know this
and their code teaches them to dispise
such 'littleness.' Mems strength lies
in their solidarity. Woman's weakness
in the lack of feeling of common good
and solidarity. l not only am trying
to arouse the sympathy of the men for
woman suffrage and equality but also
to stir and awaken the sense of honor
and justice in women toward their own
sex. Thoughtfullness, Incidence and
cowardice are among the other beset-
ting sins of the European woman"
Educated in France.
Lady Westmore was educated in
France. She declared that the womans
movement in France is on far lower
status even than in Germany. THE
French woman is delightful, but she
is merely a luxury and toy" said
Lady Westmore. 1.-THE French women
are in chains covered with bon bons,
jewels, dresses and flowers. They see
only the bon bons,' beautiful jewelry
and dresses. They do not see beneath.
They don't want to be free" Lady
Westmore said she expected to visit
America this winter or in the spring.

Myrtle has peg top skirt
Slit up to her knee,
Made Of flimsy crepe de chine;
Thin as 1t can be.
Neck and shoes are very low;
You can plainly see
Her silk hose are very sheer
Sheer audacity.
Myrt white fox collar has
On her velvet coat
But it's only in the back;
White bare is her throat.
Myrtle has the rheumatic
In her dimpled knee;
Quinsy in her lily throat;
Also pleurisy.
Myrtle has hacking cough,
And her nose is red
She has influenza too;
Stuffy is her head.
Through her fever blistered lips,
still she gayly smiles;
For she knows she's all dressed up
In the latest styles.
NEW YORK, Nov. 21.-To be truly
fashionable this winter you must be
prepared to risk both life and limb by
exposure. AS If the slit skirt were in

ficiency. Slashed up the side to the
height of your knee and arily laced

Silk Plush Coats.

| The silk plush coats and wraps real
| ly lend themselves more gracefully to
| the voluminous draped models, broad
, at shoulder and hip and narrowing into
the ankles, than the heavier, real furs.
A black one with a smart fitch collar
| (across the back only, of course) is
elegant and striking in the extreme, and
taupe with a collar of skunk is very
lovely. Most all of these coat wraps
are three-quarter length only and in
variably show Innings of vivid hued
satin or brocade.
At the opening of the Little Theatre
two astounding headdresses in the au-
dience divided attention with the stage.
One worn by we'll known dancer was
a turban of white tulle wound with a
strand of brilliants swathing her brow
Across the house it gave the startling
effect of a lady with severe headache.
In any other color save the white the
vision of q large night and the morn
ing after would not have been so vivid.
The other heady getup on near ac-
tress consisted of large oval jet me-
dalions set in the hair on either side
of the wearer's head, from which dang
led chin strap of jet that swayed and
dangled under the fair ones rather pro-
minent jaw at every turn of her head.
From the many eerie effects one notes
on the heads of the fair sex it would
seem that the wierder they are the
smarter they are.
