MRS. BRYAN LECTURING ON WOMAN
SUFFRAGE. AT THE STATE CAPITAL

Mrs. William Jennings Bryan, who
is giving a series of lectures in the
cause of enfranchising the women of
Florida, and who addressed a Joint
session of the legislators on Wednes-
DAY night In the house, is remaining
the full week in Tallahassee, and is
making many friends both person
ally, and for the work which she rep
resents. Her days have been busy
ones since her arrival at the capital,
for she has found social obligations
to fulfill as well as committee work
and other activities necessary for the
coming fight for suffrage.
On Wednesday night, she address
ed the members of both houses. with
large number of Tallahassee visit
ors present, for an hour and a half,
her logic, keen wit, and pleasing pres
ence making good impression upon
both friends and foe Of the suffrage
| bill. She made the special appeal
that women have place of their own
IN politics because of the very fact
of their being women, and will have
their own special work to do without
interfering seriously with that OF
the men, they want their help in
matters which women are best fitted
to handle.
She met the argument that '.wo-
mans place is in the home" by read
lily admitting its truth, but she sale
that the women want men to tell then
what they want done in the home at

of fruits and vegetables; when thu

ECHOES FROM THE RED CROSS
PLAY

Since the presentation of "The
Microbe of Love-" given on Thursday
evening at the opera house, under
the patronage of the Red Sross, there
has been nothing but praise for this
bright musical comedy.
Where there was so much talent,
invidious praise is almost out of
place, yet word of special thanks
and praise should certainly be given
to Mrs. Olga White Barnes, who
directed the play, and whose efforts
We're so well repaid.
1t is seldom that one finds, in an
amateur entertainment so much that
is commendable, or talent so well
developed.
The children, as we'll as the adults,
were most pleasing in all their parts,
and much comment has been heard
regarding the graceful aesthetic
dancing of Miss Sadie Kugleman's
class. Grace of movement and
charm of childish beauty distinguish
ed these dances, in which Miriam
Mayer, Miriam Kahn, Lydia Mary
Bruce, Jessie May Harris, Sara
Wolff, Adelaide Wentworth, eJanne
w OH look part.
Miss Kugleman, who took one of
the leading parts in the Red Cross
play, is ont only finished actress,
but most graceful dancer herself,
and has most pleasing voice as
well.
One of the most finished musical
numbers was the song, "The Microbe
of Love-" sing by Miss Dimple Nc
MILAN. Miss McMillan's voice SEEM
ed specially well suited to this num-
Der, which was one of the most beau
tiful on the program
While all of the men parts were
well taken, Mr.. William Bonacker
came very near attaining the finished
work Of the professional. Mr.. Bon
acker's stage presence is fine, his
voice clear and well modulated, and
the clever lines introduced here and
there in his part gave to his work a
spice which might otherwise have
been lacking. This is not Mr.. Bon
acker's first appearance before a
Pensacola audience, one of the lead
ing parts in the high school play
having been taken by him last sum-

Miss Glenn Hampton was delight
fully surprised" on Tuesday eve
ming by number of her young
friends, who spent the evening with
her at the Leon hotel. Five hundred
and informal dancing were enjoyed,
during the evening. Miss Hampton
is very popular among the young
people, and the fact that she is again
making her home at the Leon hotel,
is received with delight among her
numerous friends. Miss Hampton
who comes very nearly knowing just
about everyone in Florida, is a valu-
able acquisition to the "home crowd"
at the Leon, for she has way of in
Producing congenial people to each
other and creating a delightful at
mosphere of her own which fairly
radiates her warm-hearted person
atty.
The ladies of the Tallahassee I'M
provement Association are planning
the annual May day celebration
which has taken place each year in
Lewis park under the old May oak,
since before the Civil war. This
year the date falls on May 4th, and
the children meantime will be drilled
for the folk dances, ETC., which will
feature the day. Ices will be served
in the park, and the little May
| queen crowned as usual. Last year
the young daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Thos. West was queen, and her
court of extremely small fairies and
baby butterflies is still pleasantly
recalled.

conveniences have removed the real
work from the hands of the women
forever, making them merely a SUI
pervisory board of one to keep the
home machinery working smoothly.
Women, according to Mrs. Bryan,
should crochet less and read more, if
they want to become real mental
companions to their husbands.
They should know about the issues
of the day and what is going on in
their state and country and be able
to discuss these matters intelligent
ly.
Man responds to congenial compan-
ionship the world over, she said, and
it is her argument that if they find
this in the home, they will be saved
the trouble of wandering out for it
at night, to seek it at the clubs, sa-
looms, etc.
Women who are too careless about
the family pocketbook with regard
to pretty clothes and expensive friv-
olities would become, through equal
suffrage, so much on equal partner
with the man that she would grow to
know the value of dollar earned
and appreciate his encouragement
when he is called upon to work all
of the time, and is still unable to lay
by anything for old age.
These, with many other argu-
ments were driven home with gooG
effect during Mrs. Bryan's speech
| and she was interrupted with fire.
| quent applause from various sources
Seated with Speaker Hardee, be-
side Mrs. Bryan were Mrs. Sydney
J. Cats, Mrs. w. S. Jennings, wife
Of former governor Jennings, Mrs. N
B. Broward, widow of former Cover
nor Broward, and Mrs. Frank Stran-
ahan, president of the Florida Equal
! Suffrage Association.

mer, but his work shows improve
ment such as would indicate sue
cess in even stronger roles than that
essayed by him last evening.
Mrs. Barnes is receiving the most
sincere congratulations on the sue
cess of the play, which she presented
with such marked ability. A gradu-
ate of the Emerson School of Express
sion, and finished actress herself,
she proved not only an excellent in
structor but wonderful leader, and
wherever she may present this
charming play, she should certainly
receive most liberal patronage.

INTERESTING SOCIAL NOTES
FROM THE CAPITAL

Trinity Methodist church, gave the
church over to Mrs. William Jen-
nings Bryan on Thursday night, with
an invitation to speak, which she ac-
cepted. The church was filled to the
doors with an interesting and high
ly appreciatiye audience.
An attractively well written and
interesting booklet by Mrs. Minnie
Moore Wilson, of Kissimmee entitled
"The Least Known Wilderness of
Florida" is receiving much cordial
interest in Tallahassee just now, es-
pecially as the charming authoress
is also in the city at the present
time. Endorsed by the National In
dian Rights Association, and dealing
with the Seminole Indians in the
Everglades of Florida it is being
read with interest not only by those
who are impressed in Mrs. Wilson's
efforts directed toward the better
ment of the remaining Seminoles, but
by those who wish to know more
about the Everglades in detail, for
Mrs. Wilson's booklet is perhaps the
best detailed description of the glades
which has been written, and her APP
peal that the Seminoles be given 4
square deal as its original owners, in
stead of remaining the absolutely
homeless people that they are, in
touching in its realism.
Mrs. Wilson, who has been an in
teresting guest at the various social
events of the past week, is woman
of pleasing manner and spontaneous
personality which is magnetic in its
quick attraction, and the people of
Tallahassee have appreciated her
| presence among them.
