Never surprise a women's sur
prise party il you want to find out
anything about it.
The old adaeg that a woman
cannot keep a secret may be all
right; but believe me, she shurely
can throw up some stiff entangle-
ments when there's a REAL big
surprise party on.
The pounding of hammers and
the swish of brooms and scrub
bling buckets resounded in the ears
of the mOuse-hound reporter as he
trailed his way up Broadway in
the vicinity of Fourth avenue.
He stopped, watched and
waited.
Mrs. Woodbridge Appears.
Something doing" he sleuth-
ed. He scurried across the street
and up the steps to the fine resi-
dence-looking building where our
exclusive University club used to
spend the evenings in revelry.
Who should respond to the
doorbell but Mrs. George b.
Woodbridge, chairman Of the
house committee of the Women's
Clubhouse association!
Only Open a Crack.
Now this reporter had nose
for news, or at least thought he
had. He pieced Mrs. Woodbridge
and the hammers and the sound
of scrubbing together, and was
quite sure he shifted what was
in the air. He boldly advanced.
But in the meantime Mrs.
Woodbridge had opened the door
only a crack and had stuck her
foot in 1t.
"I'll come in and take look
around to see what you're doing"
announced the reporter bodily.

Mary Pickford has appeared
here in many roles, but never in
such sweet one or in such a
dear play az "The Founding"
which runs at the Colonial all

q love story or any sentimental
slush in the whole play. 1t Is the
simple story of a founding, whose
father gives her away because her
birth caused her mothers death.
The life of the founding, and her
odd reunion with her father, form
a tense story. A rangy little dog
with four cute puppies, all of
which are adopted by Mary, have
prominent parts In the play.

NO.LICENSE GAINS
 IN MASSACHUSETTS
Four Cities Swear Off and Join
 Ice Water Parade

l Boston, Dec. 6.-No-license gained
 four new successes in the elections
 held in fifteen Massachusetts cities yesterday. Fall River HaverniE 1 Leominster and Taunton shifted from
 the wet to the dry column. Tkc 1i- cense advocates were not succe 3&fui-in { effecting any changes, Brockton, Sa- ! lem, Cambridge and WaI.ham remain 1 ing no-licensc.
 New Bedford. while keeping to the wet column. did so at a greatly re- l duced margin. The vote count for license last yctr was cut from 3239 to 496 after a sensational campaign in which Protestant and Roman Catho- lie clergymen were united to make the city dry. Recent prosecutions under the auspices of tho Watch and Ward society in that city are believed ivy political observers to have had much to do with the increased strength of the no-license forces.
 The shift of Fall River into the dry column marked the end of long persistent fight that had been waged by clergy of all denominations against liquor interests. It was the first victory for the no-license forces since 1908
 f1eLFeInldl ; Change to the dIN COL umn divided interest with the defeat of Mayor Albert l.. Bartlett Mayor Bartlett was defeated by Leslie K. Morse, after a campaign in which the rioting which followed the attempt of Thomas Leydon to deliver an anti Catholic lecture last April had a prominent part.
 Tauton went into the dry column after sixteen wears of the licensed sale of liquor. The margin of victory for the no-license forces was IFS as com pared with the license victory of last year of PTS.
 Four of the mayors chosen yester- day were reelected, as follows: James H. Kay in Fall River John J. White in Holyoke. Frank E. Stacy in Springfield and Eben J. Williams in Waltham.
 Only eleven of the cities elected mayors this year, and of this number not one was chosen as a democrat. The republicans were successful in seven contests, the other four bearing no national party designation. The new mayors are Stewart B. Mcleod in Brockton, John A. Stoddart in Glou- cester, Leslie K. Morse in Haverhill, William T. Pine in Marlboro, Charles S.. Ashley in New Bedford Albertus J. Morse in Northampton and William c. Moulton in Pittsfield.

FIRE AT BED WORKS.

Fire in a cotton drying kiln at the plant of the National Spring Bed com pany on Lake street required the attention of employees and Engine Go. No. 1, shortly after 5 o'clock yester- day afternoon. The automatic sprink- 1ers also aided in the work. It is be- lieved that piece of metal got caught in the cotton and caused a spark when it came into contact with metal teeth used in kiln to straight en out the cotton. Considerable dam age was done to the contents of the kiln. Cement flooring aided in pre- venting the flames spreading.

Women in Arms!

Think of il!
Women in arms, fighting the
battles of their country!
The bitterness and horrows Of
this war should be brought for
chilly home to all civilized people
by the action of the women Of
France.
When fighting becomes neces-
sary it is assumed to be the ex-
elusive province of man to en-
gage in the active fray.
And yet this frightful war has
reached the stage where the
women of Paris are recruiting a
regiment of soldiers among their
own sex for duty in the field.
Men are needed on the battle
line. and this regiment of women
soldiers will shoulder their rifles
and convoy ammunition and pro-
vision trains, garrison conquered
territory, and perform other field
duty necessary in order to relieve
men who are needed at the front.
Women in arms!
Has the civilization of this
world fallen so low that the
mother of man must sink her sex
and expose her fair breast to the
mutilation of shot and shell?
Must she face the horrors OF
the battlefield, the rigors of a
campaign and the re thence o
armed camps in order that kings,
emperors and fools may satiate
their cravings for political MUIR
der?
Women in arms!
Is the lust of man for power SC
great that the sacredness of wo.
manhood must be brushed aside,
her frailty trampled in the dust,
her privacy outraged by the glare
of camp life?
God forbid!
The patriotism of these women
is sublime!
1t has few parellels in history
But what a disgrace to man
kiud-what blow to our blood
nespattered civilization!
