it had it not been erected in the
wealthy days of the empire. Today
Germany is bitterly poor, and our
poverty reaches the reichstag. We
have not enough money to keep this
building in repair. and when these
carpets wear out we shall not be able
to replace them. We are buying no
new books for the library and lack
the foreign reference books We re-
quire. We have even had to reduce
our subscriptions to newspapers, and
the parliament halls require much dis
cussion.
Going on through lobby after lobby,
we entered the gallery of the hall
where congress was sitting. 1t is
about as large our House of Rep
resentatives and has the same rec
tangular shape. Its ceiling is of glass
and iron, fifty feet above the floor
where the members sit in concentric
rows behind open desks The speaker
has his chair on a high shelf at the
back of the hall. and below him are
the secretaries who act as umpires, as
it were. deciding the vote and taking
the tallies. There are six secretaries
and two of these are women. One sees
the woman members scattered here
and there throughout the chamber.
Each party has its own women and
l am told that the members of party
are elected as a whole and not as in
dividuals. The women of each party
insist on having representatives of
their sex among the candidates, and
SO every party elected must have its
woman members. When the women
speak they go to little rostrum, in
front of and below the speaker, on
which is a pulpit, and the acoustics
are go good that they can easily make
themselves heard. The men speak
from the same place, and the women,
in fact, act in almost every respect
like the men. They are live. active
factors. They have say in the work
of the parties to which they belong
and they sit on all the committees.
Many Of them have good educations.
They are all patriotic, and are bound
to form a strong element in the Ger
many of the future.

i Der, the leader of her sex in the

matters all the day through
During our stay in the reichstag,
1 asked her whether a woman would
ever be president Of the German re-
public. Frau Schneider replied:
so many of my dreams have com
true that l do not see why such !,
thing. which may now seem impossi-
BILE, might not come true. l don't
think l shall ever live TO see a WON
an president, but as Bernard Shaw
says: You never can tell: If any
one had said to me twenty years aso
that women would sit in the reich
stag I would not have believed it.
Yet here we are, thirty-fiye OF US,
and we arc all doing work. 1t seems
20 me the woman of today is in ad-
vance of the man. Man seems TO he
sliding down: woman is climbing up.
Who knows but that she will some
day lead the men? I venture the
world would be no worse if she did"
But. Frau DR.. Schreiber," said T.
"do you women in the reichstaS
work independently of the men and
along lines of your own?"
No" replied the woman states
man. We work together. There is
no sex in brains. I believe that wom-
the equal of man, and that her intui-
the equal Of man. and that her intuti-
tions and reasoning powers enable
her to deal quite as well with all
public and domestic questions. Just
now many important matters of leg
islation relate to domestic questions
and they especially affect women.
We devote much Of our time to such
subjects. We have the high cost Of
living, the housing conditions, child
welfare, education. and other such
things in which we women are vital
ly interested and in which We can
think as straight and decide as we'll
as the men. Just now the economic
situation here is one Of life and
death and it overshadows all others.
II Germany were rs 1t was before the

more to the betterment OF the social
and moral life of the community. but
today the great question is how to
exist in the terrible strain which has
been forced upon u.s.
"But can you continue TO exist

Germany"
Dear Mr.. Carpenter" replied Frau
DR.. Schreiber. 'if I could answer
truly that question I would be the
greatest woman in the world. The
chief trouble with US her in Germany
is that We are not masters of our
fate. The decision as to things Of

A RE we going back to frills and
~ furbelows. to the kickshaws
~ and knicknacks OF fashion?
Assuredly there are more
OF the little detachable things in our
wardrobes this season than last. We
S1ve six or seven more accessories
now to take into account when we
pack our bags and cases than during
tho days when women's fashions were
cast in the stern mold OF war con-
ditions.
Fashions are becoming more femi
nine. some one says.
On the contrary. more masculine.
In France the war drained away
4 very large proportion of the mon
engaged in designing and manufac-
ture OF the things that women wear.
In England ,the same was true; in
Germany. Italy Austria, and to
less degree in this. country.
Tho women were left to make
things to suit themselves. and they
left on: the gewgaws and gimcracks.
the ktckshaws and knicknacks-all
the little foolish, detachable, irrele-
call feminine"
They set a new standard Of SIM
plicity. They made frocks that all
went on In one piece, they discarded
separate belts and sashes, girdles
and ceintares. They scrapped the
separate collar and cuff and accus-
toned themselves to wearing the
fabric of the frocl directly and un-
lelievedly against the neck or. wrist.
They eliminated combs and hair
trimmings amazingly. and while the
men coifteurs were away they evolved
the simplest form OF headdress that
women have worn for generations.
The,tumult and the fighting ceased.
Gradually the trades and profess
sions engaged in the making of
woman's clothes and things have been
getting back to normal. Men have
been reasserting themselves-and
look what has happened.
All sorts of frilly, foolish furbe-
lows have been added to our ward
robes.
So, remember. there is a wide diff
ference between man made fashions
for women and masculine fashions.
What men choose for themselves and
devise for women are as different as
Macedon and Monmouth.

MEN carry their money, cigarettes,

nine or ten various and sundry
pockets that tailors put in their

women. Handbags interest them.
So the knowing woman does not
overlook the Importance of her hand
bag. 1t is to the American woman
what the fan was TO the senorita of
old Spain. 4 wide variety awaits her
this spring.
You really dom, have to carry a
bag clasped with d scarab, or embroid

flowers or mummy cases in order to
have bag that is very recent
The persistent demand among women
who show most discrimination seems
to be for one Of the envelope shaped
bags-either with a strap handle, a
long cord or made with neither. Steel
beads seem to hold the interest of the
Frenchwomen. With the navy blue

vived to a certain extent. she carries
a small envelope shape of navy blue
silk worked with steel beads, and the

approves of an envelope-shape black
