Special Correspondent of The Tribune

Copyright, 1921, by The Tribune
New York, Sept. 1S-Keep
your eye peeled these dark nights
for a horde of horsewomen plung-
ing down Fifth avenue. Their
gaze will be fixed on some I'M
lucky offender whom they will
yank from his hiding place in the
Biltmore or the Ritz; whom they
corner to secluded spot near,
perhaps the Metropolitan museum
or the Grand Central; and whom
they will relentlessly tar, feather
and horse whip.
The offender may be shop
keeper who refuses to exchange a
hat two weeks after purchasing.
He may be the fellow who de-
clines to offer his hard won sub
way seat to lady passenger.
Just who he may be is mys
terry. But whoever he is. let him
tremble at the sound of furious
hoofs and rustling silken robes.
Mrs. Elizabeth Tyler is very
clear on the silken robes part.
The masks are silken, too. though
whether the tar, feathers and
rods are carried in vanity cases
or in those stunning new pea
cock feather wrist bags she did
not say. Mrs. Tyler is the first
lady of the Ku Klux Khan.
She arrived in this city right
after officers had rebuffed some
men Ku Kluxers who suggested
forming chapter here. Rebuffs,
however. fail to dishearten Mrs.
Tyler. No sooner had she ar
rived from Atlanta than she an
nounced that seven hundred let
tiers Of inquiry had reached her
New York hotel in two days
"sninety-five per cent of them
from women"
Indeed. it appears that New
York women are flocking to join
the Kan" Before long the shops
ought to blossom with pearl
handled whips suited to ladies'
grasp. Masculine Ku kluxers
have to get along with cotton
