uselessly endured, can claim no rever-
ence Of martyrdom. But before con-
demning those who submit to it, I wish
that our critics could realize what It
means to be born under this yoke and
then try to shake it or"
Appeal of the ''OId Maid"
Some Of the readers Of this can remem-
her when the term old maid" was even
in America the synonym for helplessness
and failure. The taunt from a bystander,
SO familiar to all who have been in the
suffrage movement in England, Go
home, and do your washing" gave her
an inspiration. Yes, when she got be-
fore the collars and shirt fronts of the
gentlemen who would receive them she
would point to these and say she stood
for the makers clean" the gnarled
hands, the bent backs. the tear-dimmed
eyes of those that had washed them
white seemed to cry out. Remember US.
Don't be afraid to speak for US II you get
through to the presence of those who
know nothing, heed nothing of our toll.
I said in my heart, I shall remember,
and shall not be afraid in their pres
ence.'" Such is the sympathy with
woman, the solidarity of the sex, regard
LESS of class. vocation. or even race or
nation, which has been born Of the wom-
an movement.
Lady Constance did not get through to
the presence" but, instead, after much
banging about and being picked up from
her feet and tossed in the air. she finally
found herself, to her great relief, under
arrest and being helped away still alive.
After the trial the next day she was
sentenced to one month. Was IL possible
she asked herself that the little she had
haar ah1a n dn ad nf
a whole months Imprisonment? Then
followed the long day in the detention
cell, and at last the trip in the Black
Maria Only a cruel and barbarous age
could ever have invented such an acces-
sorry to the punishment Of prisoners as
the English Black Maria On either side
are tiny cells, the doors Of which, when
opened, obstruct the passage so that only
one prisoner can enter or leave at once,
When the cells are filed the rest of the
prisoners have to crouch in the passage
which Is not high enough to enable them
to stand upright.
If anybody thinks women accustomed
to comforts went to prison for the fun
OF II even before the days Of the hunger
strike and forcible feeding, they should
read Prisons and Prisoners" One
hardly can believe that the work of
Elizabeth Fry has been perpetuated in
the prisons for women. The foul sur
roundings, the lack Of ventilation (noY
somewhat remedisd since the suffra-
gettes persistently broke the windows of
their cells), the coarse clothing, the
rough shoes, the inability to write or re-
ceive letters, the enforced silence and
hard labor, all these make up a tale Of
horrors that seem to belong to the Dark
Ages. Besides, the severity OF sentences
passes belief, rhe writer notes the case
of girl sentenced for three years for
stealing her mothers skirt.

stance, which showed heart trouble ar

about by the police, resulted in her be-
ing put into the hospital In spite Of all
endeavors there were evidence OF favor
tism being shown her. and she was kept
In the hospital after she had regatned
her accustomed health. Her one desire
was to share to the full the experiences
that would be meted out to any OF her
fellow-prisoners. To get out Of the hos
pital and on the prison side she resorted
TO all sorts Of devices and appeals and at
length she was successful so that the
record Of her experiences is complete.
Such pitiful tales OF other women than
the suffragettes, such pathetic glimpses
of the inner life down under the weight
OF misery that has crushed many Of them
from their birth-if you want to SYM
pathize with all suffering, erring woman
hood-read this electric account OF Lady
Constance Lytton's imprisonments. In
her second Imprisonment she had some

upon in her Investigations Of systems
which seem to hold the people in bond
age that they aspire to help, was the
Esperance Club Of Working Girls, and 1t
was in accepting the invitation Of the
secretary Of the club to share seaside
holiday that she met Mrs Pethick-
Lawrence and Annie .Kenney, and her
point Of view was entirely changed.
After much study and investigation she
felt she must cast in her lot with the suf-
fragettes in some way and asked to
render some service that would not iden-
tify her with the militant deputations.
She was set to try to approach the
home secretary with a view OF securing
first division treatment for the suffra-
gette prisoners as political offenders, IN
stead of their being ranked-as no men
guilty of any crime whatever in their
struggle for political liberties have been
with the ordinary criminal offenders. 1t
was the day of the great demonstration
Of October of 1905 and while she did not
succeed in her attempt the experiences of
that day made her a complete convert to
the policy of militancy. Many women
were arrested that day, and in her ef-
forts to secure POLITICAL treatment for
them Lady Constance found It possible
to visit the place Of their confinement,
and to see Mrs. Pankhurst.
Like Horse Boxes of Stable.
In her book she describes the condi-
tons in which she found these women
who were only awaiting their trial. The
cell doors lined one side of the passage
as the horse boxes Of a stable. The
wardress drew aside the shutter of a
small grating, and 1 looked into a kind
Of animals den, dimly lit and furnished
only with a bare wooden bench running
along the side Of the wall and terminating
in a sanitary convenience. Standing
erect as she moved toward the grating.
was a woman whose appearance struck
awe into every fiber Of my being. A
splendor, of defiance and indignation per-
vaded her face, yet she was controlled
and her attitude conveyed no suggestion
to personal grievance 1t is this imper-
sonal attitude that wins followers for
Mrs Parkhurst, and that finally-after
Mrs. Pankhurst and Mrs. Drummond had
keen sentenced for three months and
Christabel for ten weeks, none Of them
guilty of any offense except declining to
keep the peace for twelve months-deter-
mined Lady Constance to join the union
and the next deputation.
The occasion came the next February.
What does one have to do?'' she asked
her companion, who was older in the
business. 'Oh, you need not bother
about what you'n do. 1t will all be done
to you. Only, whatever is said or done,
you must remember 1t is our business to
go forward" This is the keynote Of mill
fancy. Expecting in her ignorance to
have chance with the rest of pleading
their cause she muses. on what she can
represent on the deputation. She could
stand for the superfious spinster, but
who would listen to a messenger from
these 6f whom, she says: The fearful
unnecessity OF their dfSablement awakes

The last face OF the suffrage leaders
that looked upon before leaving Eng
land in 1s11 was that Of Lady Constance
Lytton as she was being hailed to the
police station between two officers. The
delicate, patrician face was easily recog-
nizable; I had seen it before on suffrage
platforms, but on this occasion it was
lit up with that strange illumination
