through all. Mr.. Poiret, when asked to
describe the costume, said:
MY wife wears a tailor suit, the
skirt of which is a green and yellow
check, with red squares hanging down
softly and lightly over yellow Russian
leather boots of Arabian shape. The
coat is of a plain green cloth, with
yellow lining. The shirt waist collar S
held together loosely by a Windsor tie
of green material, with yellow polka
dots Of large design. l would call the
costume very simple in outline. but
somewhat daring in color However, as
you will see, the colors blend most har-
moniously."
Mrs. Poiret wore sailor hat of the
same cloth which composed her coat
and mounted on a plain straight straw
brim. Mr.. Poiret is described as man
of genial mien, blunt in his expression
and talks and acts like the average
New York business man. There-was no
effort at fashionable dress on
his part and there was nothing of the
dandy about the famous couturier. He
is an admirer of the American women
who he says he knows very we'll in
deed, although this is his first visit to
her country
II believe" he remarked, that the
American is probably the best con-
structed woman in the world. She can
wear anything and wear it well. The
average American woman has a good
figure, well adapted to good dressing.
She is we'll developed physically. Her
pose, as a rule, is natural, and 1t is q
distinct pleasure to build a costume
for the American woman"

Yesterday there was printed a letter
from Mrs McLendon, president OF the
EQUAL Suffrage association of Georgia.
in regard to the coming of Mrs. Pank-
hurst. Mrs. McLendon's interest IN the
coming of Mrs. Pankhurst Is indorsea
bx most of the local suffraglsts, VINO
feel as she does, an interest IN the mo-
fives which have actuated mlltaht
methods in England and having hearo
the distorted versions of militant IN
cidents wish to hear her own side OF
the matter from the militant leader.
That American women wish to hear
Mrs. Pankhurst's story does not at all
mean that they expect to adopt her
methods or that they give approval to
everything she or her associates have
DONE The large majority OF American
suffragists regard militant tactics as
a mistake even for England; and Ger
tainly all Birmingham suffragists are
agreed that it is unnecessary and out
of the question to even think of any
thing of the kind here. In fact, Mrs
Pankhurst has publicly congratulated
our women that they are not driven
to resort to such tactics. She has al
ways said that militancy in this coun-
try is needless
Miss Alice Stone Blackwell, the edi-
tor in chief of the leading weekly pup
lication on woman suffrage, writes that
whenever she has chance to near Mrs
Prankhurst she finds herself stirred,
not to militancy in the English sense
but to increased zeal and activity along
strictly American lines. She states tnat
in their views as to Mrs. Pankhursts s
projected visit suffragists may be dl-
vided into four classes. Some disap-
prove SO strongly of the campaign of
violence in England and feel so bitter
lv the prejudice against suffrage whlch
it has stirred UP on this SIDE OF the
water, that they do not want TO go
near Mrs Pankhurst or hear WORD
she has to say There are others VINO
win think it unwise as matter OF
tactics to give any public countenance
to her meetings lest their doing SO
should hurt the cause here and put a
weapon into the hands of the anti
sufYragists. There are those who ap-
prove of her enthusiastically and VIII
go to hear her eagerly; and in the
fourth place there are those who, with
out indorsing her methods, nevertheless
do heartily honor her motives and her
courage, and detest the long course OF
injustice and violence which has IN
cited the militants to use counter Vio-
lence.
1t would show great lack OF good
sense on the part of American women
if they could not listen to lecture
by Mrs. Pankhurst without going out
: ,afterward to break windows especial
ly as it is said Mrs. Pankhurst herself
is quite sure not to counsel anything
of the sort. AS for the possibility oil
