WOMEN Of AMERICA
 A DISAPPOINTMENT
Dutch Woman Professor AVak-
 ened From Her Disilusionment

The Hague, Netherlands, May 6.- 'The American woman has the suf- frage in some states, from a child she is accustomed to appearing in public and does so more easily than we do, but she has not half the freedom of movement of the Dutch woman,' de- clared Hollands first woman profes- sor. Dr. Johanna Westerdyk, to an in terviewer. Dr. Westerdyk recently was appointed extraordinary profes- sor of plant pathology at the State University in Utrecht. The remark was made as the result of tour she undertook through the United States Dr. Westerdyk was disappointed with the position of the American woman. E"In speaking of America" |" she said, i've are accustomed to imag- inc that conditions everywhere there resemble those in New York. But New York is much more European. In the small university towns in the west and the east things wear quite l different aspect. It Is true that the married woman is less bound by do- mestic life. She does not have to be at home in the afternoon to get dinner ready. But, on the other hand, a pro- l fessor's wife has a very busy life with ] out 8 servant in the house. For all have their own house, and many their own car, which they drive themselves, /, but they don't keep g. maid because servants are too troublesome.
 'The American woman sees to 1t that she doesn't become house l drudge, neither is she the slave of her children. Further. she gets some help from her husband. But one has the feeling in dining with her that one Is giving her extra work"
 But what has struck Dr. Westerdyk most of all was that the social Inter- course between the sexes was far from being 90 free and unfettered as in Hol- land. Her men colleagues for in stance, thought that she might not lodge in the same hotel, nor enter a
 restaurant with them, and that she could hardly be with them in the uni versity unless other women were present. At the Botanical society no
 women were admitted. She was used to so different a condition at botanical
 congresses that America, with its rep-
 utation Of a paradise for women, had greatly disappointed her.
 Everything in America was ruled
 by convention, in the opinion of Dr.
 Westerdyk.

MARIE DORO DOESN'T

Little Actress Who Appears Tonight at Central is Parti- cular About Her Shoes.

My sympathy goes to any woman in a country where they have to wear sabots', grumbled Marie DOrO, who will be seen at the Central theatre, Lowell, today, in the Lasky-Paramount production of ''The Lash, as she hobbled across the stage and dropped into her waiting chair. q think they are horrible things.
