LAST LECTURE
 ON CIVIL GOVT.
Mrs. Schoonmaker Talks on New Problems That
 Await Us.

Mrs. Nancy Schoonmaker, author and lecturer, concluded her course of lectures on Civil Government last night at the '. W. c. A, when she spoke on New Problems that Await Us." The course of very interesting and educative talks on citizenship was given under the auspices of the Bridgeport Equal Franchise league. It is regrettable to state, however, that not many Bridgeport women availed themselves of the opportun- ity of hearing, so fine a lecturer as Mrs. Schoonmaker. Very few at tended the last and most interesting lecture of the course, which dwelled on the many new difficulties facing the woman of the present day before she may be recognized as a voter in the government of the United States.
 Believing in equal suffrage means to stand for the fundamental princi- ples of our government, said Mrs. Schoonmaker, and she goes up and down the state, teaching women the subject of a vital interest, because she believes in a democracy, and in 3, government for the people and by the people.
 '.The women of the world today have something to contribute. Some 
 than the work they have been do- ing with their hands for centuries gone by" she continued in her final talk last night "The women's council and her brains are a preci- ous need to the people of the entire world. Whether we want 1t or not, | we must now enter in the share of 1 the most important work in the
 world government. We have got to
 make the world accept us both as a. mother and an intelligent worker" i Being a mother and a. worker is very hard for the woman, but she owes it to the coming generations i to make herself aware of the ma l chinery of the government and see 1 that in her hands is placed the right | to vote. When men built the world, l they built it for themselves and to
 suit their convenience only. The
 women might have built it with free dom to everyone"
 Concluding, sne intensely empha- sized the following sentence: '"The
 women of Connecticut will have to be i enfranchised through the men of 1 other states and the men of Connec- ! ticut should be ashamed to recognize
 it.
 Mrs. Schoonmaker is conducting a course of lectures in Fairfield which she will finish this month. She will
 leave for the West the latter part of the month where she will lecture to the women on "Americanizing Amer jean Women" In offering these ilectures, a rare opportunity was giv- l en Bridgeport women to hear a most unusual speaker on a subject
 which is of vital interest to all men
 and women who desire a most in 1 teIligent electorate.

 It is easy and inexpensive to have nice, soft hair and lots of it. Just get a small bottle of Knowlton's Dander-= inc now-it costs but a few cents-aH drug stores recommend it-apply a little as directed and within ten min utes there will be an appearance of abundance, freshness, hufhness and an incomparable gloss and lustre, and try as you will you can not find a trace of dandrun or falling hair; but your real surprise will be after about two weeks use, when you will see new hair-fne and downy at first yes-but really new hair-sprouting out all over your rscalp-Danderine is, we believe, the only sure hair grower, destroyer of dandruff and cure for itchy scalp, and it never fails to stop falling hair at once.

ATTACKS MORNIONS.

At the Washington Park NJ E. church last night Rev J. A. Dodds Of Rochester. formerly of Utah, attack ed the Mormon proselytizing which he said is going on even in Bridge port.
 He spoke of the attack made upon the home, the foundation of all that Christians hold dear, and the cor nerstone of our civilization, and final ly sharply criticized the apathy of the 1awmaking and law executing powers for not taking steps to sup press it's activities. He urged agi- tation and legislation to curb the spread of the political power of the sect, and to stamp out polygamy, which despite denials, he said, is still practiced by the Mormons.

A spring line of tailored b1ouses which is authoritative from a style point of view, includes a number of models designed with the Palm Beach season particularly in mind.
 It includes some smart handker- chief linen waists printed in inch square checks in color, the sort of blouse that looks well on the tennis court or golf links. Another linen blouse is in French blue with mar row fittings in white as edging, trimmed only by two enormous smoked pearl buttons that link the sides of the front together over a narrow vestee.

Evening wraps are often as gor- geous as the gowns which they not infrequently match or are combined with They are rarely, however, made of exactly the same material, although the fabric in the gown is occasionally used as lining for the wrap. Some have conceived an idea of bands of contrasting color which form kimono sleeves. For instance, a. plain black satin has these bands in black and gold braid, of which latter material the lining and the big collar are made.

Another good looking affair of this sort was made of a figured silk with a navy blue background. It. too, had a round neck but instead of being left plain like the other, was finished with a at round collar, from shoulder to shoulder across the back. This collar which was very large, was made of plain navy blue silk. Across the waistline in front was a band of this same plain silk, some three or three and half inches wide, made to. simulate a belt and adorned with a vertical row of small 6 silk buttons. This too, had a belt of plain ribbon or silk, attached at each side, to hold il in place.
 Almost anyone, it would seem, could make one of these vests with straight piece of silk, the most care needed being to cut the neck out properly and to adjust the belt correctly. And such a variety of materials may be used! Such waist | coats, one might estimate roughly, require about three-quarters of a yard of material, exclusive of collar and belt.

The New Clothes

The wide brocaded or metallic ribbons now being shown in such profusion in tie shops, are not in frequently used for the vest or waistcoat. One, seen recently, was made so simply that anyone who can sew at all ought to be able to copy it. The material was a. beauti- ful black and gold-mostly gold metallic ribbon, so wide that one width only was needed. Apparently about three-quarters of a yard of it was used. At one end, a piece was cut out, circular in shape, leaving straps about an inch and a half or better, two inches, wide, surround ing it, which straps were fastened together in the middle of the back. Across the ribbon, at the waistline, braided gold cord was appiqued back and forth in three rows, to stimulate a fairly wide girdle, an or namentaI tasseI finishing it at each end. The vest was lined with plain black silk, and a two inch wide band of this plain silk or of strong black ribbon was attached to it at the waistline on one side, and fitted with attachments to fasten it at the other. This belt served to hold the waistcoat firmly in place.

Mime. PadereWski Is Her
Husbands First Advisor

AS a rule wives of diplomats are
bored by politics.
State dinners offer opportunities
to wear new gowns, and political
confabs occasionally turn UP curious,
interesting people; but outside that
they are things to be endured
However, there is one notable OK
ception-Madame PadereWski.
Of all the women that We're
brought to Paris by the peace con-
ference, Nine Paderewski is perhaps
the only one that can be said to be
in the inner political circle.
She is her husbands constant ad-
visor and collaboration.
Her friends say she glories in her
work.
When the Polish pianist-politician
takes a flying leap from Paris to
Warsaw and back again, Nine.
PaderewSki is along.
Before he decides on a policy or
embarks on campaign, she is con-
suited. She knows about as much
about Polish conditions as he does,
and he regards her opinions as worth
just as much as his own.

used to rest, in Switzerland, between
