These articles have touched Eng

They are trying to keep girls
from getting married and they are
trying to break up homes that are

But Mrs. Pankhurst and her fol-

IT. is a doctrine which she will
preach in America when she tours

circles in London that Mrs. Pank-

spent in seclusion in Paris with
