Many Hear Miss Richards in
Spite Of Suffrage Parade
She Confines Her Talk to Affairs in This Country Discusses
Problems Facing Present Congress and Leaves Promptly
to Join Suffrage ENJOYS at the Capitol.

In mentioning the problems that faced
the present session Of Congress Miss
Richards laid especial stress on the i'm
portance Of the solution. Of the problem
of raising funds, especially in view 2f
the tremendous expenditure that would
be made necessary in order to carry out
any general plans Of preparedness. She
named three possible solutions: . bond
issue. an increase in the income tax or
special tax levied on certain commodi-
ties. The alternative Of these three So
lutions would be q resumption OF the
high protective tariff.
Miss Richards touched upon the. pres
ent convention of the Congressional
Union for woman suffrage and the con-
vention to take place Of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association
next week, also the pan-American con-
ventiop, to take place in January. to
which, by the way. Miss Richards has
been appointed delegate and speaker.
The talk yesterday.was closed prompt
ly at Il in order to give Miss Rich
ards time to Join the suffrage ENJOYS on
the steps OF the Capitol. when they ar
rived with their petition from the wom-
en- voters Of the West. Miss Richards
was especially interested to take part in
the reception Of these ENJOYS n she
was one OF those who "sped the parting
guests when they set out on their cross
continent automobile trip from the Court
Of Abundance At the San Francisco Ex-
position.
The Washington herald., 1915-12-07

In spite of the many counter attrac-
tions yesterday morning. the suffrage
parade. the opening of Congress and the
ever increasing necessity of doing Christ
mas shopping in the morning hours-Miss
Janet Richards talk on current events
in Woodward & Lothrop's auditorium
attracted a capacity audience. Members
of Washington residential circles as well
as the wives of diplomarists, Cabinet
members and Congressman were present
and, as could be seen from the varied
nature of the applause. there were women
of various sympathies. A statement that
showed .iss Richards appreciation OF
the fairness of the stand of the allies In
certain diplomatic matters called Tor
applause from one following in her
audience; a pro-German sentiment called
for applause from other quarters. When
Miss Richards made a statement showing
Democratic sentiment, there was stili
another combination of hand clapping
and when she intimated that solution
of the present financial problem facing
Congress might be best found In q re-
sumption of a high protective tarfn the
applause showed that a goodly NUMBER
of Republicans was present.
In her talk yesterday morning Miss
Richards confined her time largely to
affairs in this country. and said very
little about the events of the week In
the European war. Her summary OF the
events in the present diplomatic situation
with respect to Germany met with mucn
interest from her audience.

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY. CALENDAR
SHOE ECONOMY.
BIZ FRANcEs MAnsHAI,

How much do you spend q year ,pn
shoes? And Do You spend wisely?
A young woman who spends a really
limited sum on her clothes was recently
counting up the amount Of shoe money
she had spent in the last year. She
was surprised to find that It was about
forty dollars. =
boots for six dollars. There was q pair
OF black- hid evening slippers for four
dolIArs Then there was q pair Of white
canvas laced boots, with. rubber soles
and 1at rubber heels, that cost seven
dollarA. These were bought for q trip to
Bermuda: they we're all very well for
Bermuda. en- the tennis courts there and
walking along the sprinsy, limestone
roAdS. They were useful for the two
weeks spent there and they were good
to wear on board steamer, two days COM
ing and two days going. But they proved
quite useless at home: for the girl lived
In New York and spent the summer there
the Bermuda trip was her vacation.
Remembering how comfortable they
were. however. she bought a pair OF rub
Der sole. fiat heeIed black boots for six
and q half dollars and found the nat
last quite impossible to wear. It had
been comfortable in the canvas, but In
stin leather It caused such discomfort
TO the instep that she had visions OF
dreaded fallen arches. In the spring
she bought 4 pair OF champagne coiored
kid boots. that laced on the side. They
cost six dollars. and proved to be as
fragile as the proverbial egg shell. The
kid peeled. the shoes showed dirt in

to be discarded; they were shoes for
wardrobe Of only a rich woman. Then
there were two pairs of pumps for sum-
mer, one at four dollars and one at five.
A pair OF spats cost a dollar and a half.
A pair OF rubber sandals cost seventy
five cents. Repairs to turnover heels and
worn soles cost three or four dollars.
Really. too, the girl was rather badly
shod. For after each foolish expenditure
she would have to wear old shoes until
she could afford to buy a pair OF use
full new ones The canvas shoes for Ber-
muda. the nat-lasted black boots. and
the light kid ones-whlch cost eighteen
or twenty dollars-gave not more than
five dollars worth OF wear. For a pair Of
white canvas sneakers at two dollars
would have served the purposes OF the
Bermuda trip. the black boots were al
most useless. and the light kid shoes
wore for only a few weeks. II in their
stead the girl had bought a pair Of white
canvas pumps at four dollars to wear
in the city in the summer with ligh
frccks she would have been far better
satisfied.
The biggest thing TO be remembered in
shoe economy Is to be sure the shoes At
and are comfortable. Then you can
surely get your moneys worth from
them. Next. be SUI that they are not
a freak style or frsgile-such shoes don't
belong in the poor woman's shoe box.
Next. be sure that they do not satisfy
Just a temporary want get shoes that
will be suitable until they are worn out

The spirit of enthusiasm and confidence
brought to US women who have not
the vote by those Western women who
have II and who are willing to help us
to get it," answered Mrs. Mary Realty
Claggett when i asked her whats in
her opinion, was the most impressive
thing about the march OF the suffrage
petition bearers and their escort to the
Capitol and later the White House yes
ter day.
We were talking over afternoon tea

HEADQUARTERS at the Little White
House in Madison Place. Open fires
biazed cheerily in the enormous old
fashioned fire places. "a welcome sight to
the delegates who had marched in the
wind down Pennsylvania avenue on their

Of many feminine voices for the Con-
gressional Union delegates were there
in full force, women of prominence and
achievement from all parts of the coun-
try. and there was much of interest Tor
everyone to talk about
1T was really not parade at all. said
Mrs. Clagett. ''in the sense that the
was a parade. 1t was merely an escort
of the Western petition bearers Still 1t
was very impressive and We who marched
down Pennsylvania avenue with our
cclors waving i'm the wind could not
help but feel that those who watched US
caught something of the spirit OF en-
thusiasm and determination Of those
Western women.
Our reception in the White House, too.
was very impressive, and the President
was in one of his best moods. l heard
him speak on many occasions ana on
many subjects but i was never more
fayorably impressed. The last time he
sroken on the suffragist question he SAID
that he could act only as an inv1diduaL
This time he gave us the impression
that he would give US more substantial
SUPPORT We cannot help but feel that
within the last year there has been an
amazing change of public opinion IN
favor of suffrage, and We sense II
strongly on an occasion like this when
We can feel the pulse of the public In
some spectacle of this sort.
DO you think that the spectacular
appeal such as a demonstration OF TINS
surely has. is a means toward real per-
sua sion?" / asked Mrs. Claggett-
Indeed, l do" she answered. Men DO
not like to be argued with. They do
NOT like to quarrel with women. In
a demonstration like this We show them
our enthusiasm and our confidence, We
put that spirit into a spectacle that they
can see for themselves, and it cannot fail
to have a favorable impression"

WashinRton's residential set. was before
her marriage the well-known actress.
