MRS. MARX INTRODUCES
HER SISTER AT TEA

Mrs. Hugo Marx was hostess yesterday
afternoon to a number of her friends in
compliment to her sister, Miss Cora Ben
singer of Louisville. Her home was de-
lightfully decorated for the afternoon,
with palms of a stately height, making a
luXuriant background for the receiving
party standing in the drawing room, and
hothouse blooms giving dainty touch of
color of tables and mantels in the various
rooms.
Mrs. Marx was an exceedingly pretty
hostess in a reception toilette of yellow
charmeuse and laces. Her attractive sis
ter wore pink broeaded satin with rhine
stone garnitures, and Mrs. NJ. V. Joseph.
who assisted in welcoming the callers was
a distinguished figure in black velvet and
ermine
Mrs. Samuel Adler. who is always cor
dial and vivacious member of a receiving
party, was one of the pretty and well
gowned women assisting the hostess, and
Mrs. Otto Marx another. Mrs. Marx ap-
peared in clever afternoon costume built
of brown charmeuse with touches of
green.
Mrs. Morris Marx was stately figure
in amethyst velvet, en- traine and her
daughter Mrs. Irving Vorenberg, who
was one of the young matrons presiding
aC the tea table, wore an orchid char
meuse robe bordered with skunk. Mrs.
Dave Markstein who was with her at the
tea table was in taupe charmeuse with
flowered chiffon, and Mrs. Ralph Fies
also was wearing a charming reception
toilette. Mrs. Henry Bernard looked dis
tinguished in a black lace robe made over
white charmeuse, and number of other
stunning toilettes were noted.

PROGRESSIVE WOMAN
MAX ES AN APPEARANCE

THE Progressive Woman, a clever
magazine which touches upon all the aims
and aspirations of women, has just made
it's appearance. 1t is published in Mont
gomery by Miss Frances Griffin and Mrs.
Juliet A Oln, but is giving equal space
to Montgomery and Mobile, which have
their part in both the narratives of So
cietys doings and in the art and music
section.
The first number of the Woman" in
dicates the high tone and the superiority
of those to follow There is federation
page, with crisp story of the movements
which are interesting the club women of
Alabama today. BY way of keeping its
readers in touch with southern literature
a department is to be printed, with short
sketches of notable southerners who con-
tributed to this phase of the country's de-
velopment. A series of sketches of dis
tinguished women opens with delightful
little story of Mrs Clement Clay-Clopton.
A lovely picture of Mrs. James 5. Pinck-
ard appears on one of the pages with a
brief personal sketch.
A page of Birmingham notes tells of the
several prominent dancing clubs with the
membership personnel of each, and COM
ments upon the smart weddings of the
season.
The following paragraph appears in
page of Montgomery social notes beneath
the caption, Personals
"A visitor to our hospitable city, and a
pronounced favorite of our social circle.
Mrs. Winans Freeman, has captured
every heart. Probably there was never
such a complete surrender to woman's
fascinatons as Montgomery society has
made to hers There was a reason for
this for many handsome gowned women,
splendid looking as she, have come to us
and gone and left no trace of themselves
for after glow. The qualities of a heart
of unusual sympathy for all humanity
and hundred kindly deeds to young and
old, proclaimed Mrs Freeman worthy of
truest loyalty"

ciples in their application to men, yet are
absolutely blind to the same principles in
their application to women. Nevertheless,
a man of broad general views is much
moEe likely to be or to become suffragist
than one whose general outlook is narrow
President Wilson's mind is presumably
ripening on this question. If he is open
to conviction, it will go on ripening and
the time will come when he will be ready
to express himself. Meanwhile, he with
stood much anti-suffrage clamor when he
recognized Mrs. Pankhurst as political
offender instead of an ordinary criminal;
he has now withstood it again when he
intimated to the committee on rules that
it would be proper to have a special COM
mittee on woman suffrage chosen in the
House; and we have every reason to be
glad of what we have got"

The Woman's Journal takes a broad
view of President Wilson'S position in the
matter of presenting the suffrage ques-
tion in his recent message. Alice Stone
Blackwell, in an editorial, says in this
weeks issue of the journal
1T is cause for emphatic satisfaction
that President Wilson has expressed him.
self in favor of having a special commit
tee on woman suffrage elected by the
United States House of Representatives.
This is the next step toward having our
question considered on its merits and
brought to a vote of the House, instead
of slumbering indefinitely in the judiciary
committee. AS first step in this direc-
ton, it was strenuously fought by the
anti@suffragists, who brought to bear all
the pressure they could against it. They
evidently failed to convince the President,
and his opinion will undoubtedly have
weight with the House committee on
rules, likewise with Congress.
'"rhis is as far as there was any like
lhood that President Wilson would go at
present Those who expected him to rec
ommend equal suffrage in his message
were altogether oversanguine. The i'm
portance of the question would justify
making it the subject of a special mes
sage to Congress- and if the President
were to treat it in that way, his act would
do him honor. But there was no reason
10 suppose that he was yet ready to take
such a step. Four or five presidents of
the United States beginning with Arha-
ham Lincoln, have been in favor of the
ballot for women but none of them have
ever recommended it to Congress. OF
course in Lncolns time and for many
years after, it had not become a question
of practical politics, and now it has. On
the other hand, we do not know that Pres
ident Wilson believes in votes for women.
Four years ago he was a pronounced OPP
ponent For some time past he has ceased
to say anything against it, and has said
that he was considering 1t. His wife
says she is not an anti, one of his daugh-
ters has long been a suffragist, another
daughter has lately declared herself in
favor, and there has been a prevalent i'm
preston among the friends of equal
rights that the President was coming
around Very likely he is, but there is
no proof that he has yet got there. In
view of certain strong passages in The
New Freedom and of the stress that he
lays in his message upon social justice,
and upon fair play for Filipinos, Porto
Ricans and others, it would seem that he
ought to favor equal rights for the women
OF his own country But these utterances
are not conclusive. Some persons have a
very clear view of broad democratic prin-
