Rachel Crothers on what Women
Think of Each Other"


Rachel Crothers, when she spoke
before the Heterodoxy, had the stimu-
lating subject, what Women Think
of Each Other" Rheta Childe Dorr
gave an interesting talk last year on
Russia and Its Relation to Finland"
and Katherine Anthony talked on
German Feminism." Mary Shaw at
one meeting outlined her plans for the
thing in which she is most deeply in
terested-a womans theatre.
Because of the secrecy which has
surrounded the Heterodoxy, it is diff
ficult to tell just what it has achieved
AS an organization, it may be said to
have done little. But the women who
are its members are women not only
of words but of deeds as we'll. They
talk brilliantly, but they work also.
Heterodoxy on Picket Duty.
On one occasion at least the Hetero-
doxy showed itself capable Of "di-
rect action" This was during the
Garment Workers Strike. AS the
women were beginning the discussion
Of the day following the luncheon
word came that two of the members
Rose Young and Edna Kenton-had
not come to the meeting because they
had been arrested for picketing. With
out a dissenting voice the women de-
cided 10 talk no more that day. They
went at once to the Labor Temple, and
from there went out on the picket line
There have been several guest days
in the history of the Heterodoxy, but
il is probable there will be no more
This does not imply a lack of hospital
ity on the part OF the club, but Is sim
ply in accordance with the desire to
have the group never too large for in
formal discussion.
Meeting Place Has atmosphere"
OF course, the Heterodoxy could not
meet in an ordinary restaurant or tea
room. 1t requires a different kind Of
a setting. 1t has found one in the
Greenwich Village Inn. just off Wash
ington Square. There in what was
once the basement dining room Of an
old mansion which dates from the days
when l4th st. was way uptown" the
women have the atmposhere and the
privacy which they want.
VIII Disclaim Secrecy.
Now that the secret of the Hetero-
doxv's existence is out, the members,
if they will speak about 1t at all, dis
claim there has been anything espe-
ciallv secret about the club. They have
not desired notoriety or publicity, they
say, because they have not seen any
value in it. But of mystery, they de-
clare, there has been none.
The members must be taken at their
word. of course, but TO the knowing it
will be plain that the Heterodoxy, as
has been said, is the real star cham

made at the expiration of his term at
Washington in 1912.
The Monmouth Review, in comm ent-
ing on the political situation in this
congressional district, says:
Political gossip at the Mercer coun-
ty seat is responsible for the well de-
fined rumor that former Congressman
James Mckinney will again be a can
didate for his old seat in the national
legislature. That he will run on the
republican ticket, il he runs at all, is a
foregone conclusion, as he has stead
lily maintained his identity with the
conservative wing of the party. While
Mr. Mckinney announced early in
1912, after he had served in four con-
crosses, that he would not be candi-
date for reelection, his decision caused
general regret throughout the Four
teenth district. From the time he was
chosen at a special election in No
vember, 1905, to succeed the late B.
F. Marsh, to the day that he was
given a Homecoming" welcome at
Aledo in 1912, he served his constit-
uents faithfully, and left official life
with an increased circle of friends.
Tavenner Makes Good.
with the candidacy of Clyde H.
Tavenner on the democratic ticket, and
that of Judge H. E. Burgess on the
progressive ticket, a warm and inter-
esting fight will develop in the district
should Mr.. Mckinney enter the race.
Mr.. Tavenner has demonstrated the
ability of congressman to make him.
self known to his constituents, even
though personally he is not often seen
by many of them, and his friends pre-
dict that the nomination and subse
quent election to his present seat in
congress is assured.
Judge Burgess of Aledo, although
a new aspirant for political honors, has
such a large personal following in the
northern part of the district that his
friends claim he will poll big vote
in any circumstances, and should Mr..
