A gentle, little, blue-eycd woman
with a low, controlled voice Is Annie

who, with Christabel Pankhurst, began
militancy in England. She slipped into
New York a week ago, so quietly that
until yesterday nobody knew that she

slipped into America by way of Boston.

Despite the investigation as 10
whether its charter should be revoked,
the international sunshine Society,
whose purpose is declared to be "lHclt-
ing its members to the performance
Of kind and helpful deeds" has OBJ
tanned from Joseph Byers, New Jersey
Commissioner Of Charities, incorpora-
ton papers vastly extending its pow

Among these new powers are the
rights 20 control and operate buildings,
hospitals, sanatoriums and rest homes
and 70 establish relief corps in time
of war, famine or pestilence."
A recent report OF the State Board
of Charities states that the manage

Mrs. Cynthia W. Alden, the president,
has been loose and careless, and in
some cases without warrant of law"
Mr.. Hcbbcrd, secretary to the board,
said yesterday that he could zee no

ISOLATION Issues Some Time
Iy Suggestions.

Don't hoard, but buy wisely and pay
your bills promptly.
Do your thinking before you have
made your purchases instead OF after,
and don't return goods unless there
has been a mistake on the part of the
store.
The foregoing don't" and "do" are
inspired by the war and suggested to
the women by the Department Store
Education Association. The statement
of which they are a part is signed by
Mrs. Henry Ollesheimer, first vice
president, and Miss Virginia Potter,
second vice president. The president,
Miss Anne Morgan, is in France.
Don't hoard either money or sup
plies" the statement runs, by way Of
ampliticatiou. chose who laid in Il
liberal supply Of things which are
likely to be scarce we're responsible IN
some cases for putting up the price
for every one else, especially for the
poor, who cannot buy in large quanti-
tics.
Don't hoard your money. That
would bring business TO standstill at
once; but buy as usual within your
means and pay your debts promptly.
During the war II Is particularly
urgent ludI you uc 50, DtCduse some
peoples business will be so hurt that
they cannot pay their bills and also
because credit has 50 broken down in
Europe that the merchant must have
cash for the purchase Of import;
goods and must have it at the moment
when a ship has come in or an i'm
porters line is opened"
The second suggestion, the statement
SAYS, receives the unanimous approval
of every department store in town.
"If you knew { continues, "thc dis
couragement and loss due to the goods
which have been sold, but do not stay
sold. We are sure many women would
not be guilty of it if they knew shat
every time they have an article charged
and sent and then have the wagon
call for it they arc increasing the cost
of that article to the store; sometimes
they arc wiping out all the profit ON it,
and more.
THE girl who waited upon you so pa
tiently and tried to satisfy your uncer-
tain mind loses the credit Of your sale
when it comes back. Many shoppers do
not know that u girls efficiency is

carefully and then keep it."

create trouble at this crisis to force
the measure through. lie solemnly
pledged the Unionist party without con-
dtions TO support Ulster by every
means in resisting Home RUE wher-
ever il should be attempted to impose
il on her by coercion.
The Ministerialists, especially the
Irish party, showed great restraint, and
at the conclusion of his speech he led
the entire Union.st party out of the
chamber.
John Redmond had to stand silent
while Unionsts were leaving, and he
then proceeded to show that not the
Unionists but the Nationalist might
complain Of the postponement Of the
bill, which would have been law before
this had not war broken out. At the
same time. Mr.. Redmond hoped that by
the time the war was over a settlement
acceptable to all concerned would have
been arrived at.
There was great enthusiasm when he
invited the Premier to come to Dublin
at the earliest possible date, promising
to stand behind him in calling for re-
cruits and undertaking that the re-
