While Mercury and Neptune are

Modistes, women's tailors, seam

There is a fortunate sign for deal

Authors, lawyers and teachers OF
languages should profit BY the aid OF

But Miss Saker had just come in from
the Columbia Country Club. where she
had the pleasure of soundly trouncing
Howard in a round of golf, and golf
was about all she could think of for
the moment. Though 1 have spent as
much as fifteen consecutive minutes in
the company of Commissioner oliver
p. Newman, 1 know absolutely nothing
about golf and the technical language
Miss Saker used went clear over my
head. 1 did gather, however, that Eng
lish golf clubs don't treat their lady
visitors Very well. that the quarters
provided for them are horrible and that
self-respectfng woman who goes to
one of them to play carries trunk for
vanity case and also takes her lunch
and a complete change of languages
SO that she will be able to express her
self adequately as to what she doesn't
get. Miss Saker thought all that must
be part of the game until she came
over here this fall. Now she knows bet
ter, and when she goes back she in
tends to suffragette the links. And so

Despite promises that the gentle art

militancy will still be rife. In fact. If
things that have been learned in this
city this week are worth the learning.
it will be rifer than it has ever been
before. At least one particular branch
of militant feminism will be-the
branch that is represented by Annie
Saker. who Is visiting the United States,
as we'll as Washington. for the first
time as leading woman of Walter How
ards 1.-The Story Of the Rosary COM
pany. at the Belasao Theater this week.
Miss Saker is the Ethel Barrymore OF
England, both in point Of having come
from an ancestry Of actor folk and per-
sonal charm. and when she starts any
audience for the finish. Just at pres
ent Miss Saker has two very big things
on her mind. One of them is the very
important part she is playing in THE
Story Of the Rosary and the other Is
golf. England doesn't need to know
anything about her part IN 'The Story
Of the Rosary" because h,iss Saker
gained quite some renown in London In
the character But in the matter Of
golf for women she thinks England
has q whole lot to learn.
This will doubtless be news to lot
of American golfers, but, you see, Miss
Saker looks at it from the feminine
point Of view. and after visiting the
Chevy Chase and Columbia golf links,
in this city. and the two club houses as
we'll as other similar institutions In
Philadelphia and New York, she is Of
the opinion that England has a whole
lot to learn about how to treat women
