TWO TORONTO WOMEN
ELECTED ALDERMEN.

I'VE have no women sitting on
the bench. as here in Washington
and in New York City" said Mrs.
Burroughs, but in Toronto two
women have been elected aldermen.
The political influence of women In
Canada has been very effective in
improving the condition OF women
and children, and it ia toward the
promotion of legislation in their
behalf that the Canadian women
are working"
Mrs. Burroughs was quite startled
at seeing the popularity of cigar
cites among American women.
I Last night at the Willard I no.
ticed so many young women smok-
ing at the dinner table" Mrs. Bur-
roughs remarked. This fad has
not quite the same vogue in Canada
and / am quite sure that none of
our titled women smoke. unless
they do it privately. or course in
England a great number of women
smoke.
Perhaps l am bit old-fash-
ioned," Mrs. Burroughs added, hut
il does not seem just quite the right
thing. to my mind. I often wonder
what the young men actually think
of it. Do they really admire their
fair companions more because they
do everything that they do or
would they rather have them keep
just a few Of the characteristics of
the 'old-fashioned girl who is rap
idly dying out except in books"
Mrs. Burroughs has been here be-
fore, but says that she never tires

Vernon trip.

PRESIDENT WILSON
POPULAR IN CANADA.

Woodrow Wilson is still very
popular in Canada, and Premier
Lloyd George is also idoliZed by the
Canadians" Mrs. burroughs says.
The President was criticized in
in Canada for his tardiness in en-
tering the war, but the esteem in
which he is held in the Dominion
has not abated to this day, accord
ing to Mrs. Burroughs.
Many thought that President
Wilson might have sent his Secre-
tary of State to the Peace Confer
ence. it is true, but he still has
many friends" she declared. In
my opinion there Is no question
that he would be in better condi-
tion today had he not gone to Eu-
rope. Whether IL was a mistake
in policy or not. there is little
doubt that the trip. and the speak
ing tour on his return. are respon-
sible for his invalidism today.
1--WE in Canada admire him as
great constructive idealist. and are
confident that as in the case of
your immortal Lincoln, he may well
trust in his simple sublime to let
the wise years decide as to his
greatness"
The number of uniforms still
worn in the United States was a
surprise to Mrs. Burroughs.
THE uniform is SO rare in Can
ada now" she explained. Il did
not realize that you on this side
Of the border still had such a large
standing army"
Mrs. Burroughs believes that the
fate of disarmament and world
peace Is in the hands of Great Brit
ain and the United States.

ENGLIsH-sPEAKING
RACES DOMINANT.

"The English speaking people

served, land We should be able to
prevail upon the rest Of the world
to como to our way of thinking. i
do not believe. however, in laying
down our arms until the rest of the
world Is converted to our doctripe.
do not think that the women and
men, too, who arc urging disarma-
ment in the British empire and in
the United States, the sort who are
urging a universal strike of women
in the event of the outbreak of an
other war, are misguided enthusi-
asts. They seem, in their enthusi-
asm. to lose sight of the fact that
the conversion of the entire world
to their humanitarian policy must
come as a gradual evolution.
When asked whether she found
that Canadians were disillusioned as
to the outeome of the war and
whether they thought that the
slogan Fighting for Democracy"
was an empty phrase. Mrs. Bur-
roughs declared she was glad to say
that she did not believe Canadians
felt that way about present condi-
tions.
I'VE have unrest in Canada, Just
as you have unrest here" she said.
There is a great deal Of unemploy-
ment, and, naturally, discomfort.
Many of the boys who were in Eu-
food commodities have been high.

 Well my child. the average girl who elects to go into moving pie lures is quite sophisticated. Many of them have been on the stage since they were mere children. They come from musical comedy choruses, from department store counters, even from counters and tables at restaurants and hair dressing establishments and beauty parlors.

A Revelation

Mrs. Watkins q had learned her name through our conversation and that she came from Philadelphia ) looked at me speculatively, as though she were almost wondering if I were telling the truth.
 At last she said: T was sure that you belonged to Theodore Stratton's $ company and was going to Los An geles with him for his next picture"
 Theodore Stratton, the moving picture star? How could you have imagined that? I would die of fright and bashfulness if l ever met him face to face"
 My dear child, surely you know that you breakfasted with Theodore Stratton this morning"
 Was that man Theodore Stratton'" ?" I exclaimed in astonishment Why, the man l breakfasted with this morning is not nearly as young as Theodore Stratton. the movie star! You must be mistaken"
 nevertheless, my child, he is The odore Stratton
 Even then 1 wouldn't be convinced "He doesn't look at all like he does in his pictures" l protested. Why. this man Is only fairly good look ing while Theodore traitor in pie lures. is one of the handsomest men 1 ever saw"
 When you get to Hollywood, my dear. you will find that very few Df the successful movie actors look as well in private life as they do on the screen. One of the reasons why nov ing picture actors are, is because they photograph well.

He, too, might think that 1 had taken this way to make his acquaintance. l have put myself in bad light with him anyway was my thought. for he must have only one of two opinions of me. Either that I am far too clever, or else that l am perfect fool. No wonder that he thinks my people are crazy to have allowed me to go to California.
 T wouldn't worry about it, dear" said Mrs. Watkins, detaining me. You didn't ask his name or act In any way as if you cared to have 1t. did you?''
 T certainly did not. I was com ing to your table to sit and the waiter put me at the one with this man."
 Well, I expect our porter must have chattered to the waiter. l pre- sume that every person on the train but you, my dear. knew and recog- nized Theodofe Stratton. I noticed him speaking to you this morning and when you came fin to the diner and sat at his table. concluded that yor were one of his company or somo- one who was to have q part in his next picture. Don't worry about it. MT. Strattcn/will soon set you at rest on the conclusions that he has come to about you"

The Thrilling Experience Virginia Fairfax in the Movies

Virginia Fairfax, an orphan, re- belliOus daughter of one of the first families of Virginia, tells her chum, Naomi SandersOn, of her intense feelings against the rigid sixteenth century conVen- tions of their little town nnd the tyranny of her grandfather, who adopted her when Yer parents died.
