he planned half-a-day's lick before en-
tertaining at luncheon the survivors OF
the So men who were Andrew Carnegie's
partners in the steel business. There

strenuous activity in business. and
were marked by his usual robust health.
He had to rely great deal on his

the fire of objections from stockhold-

for two hours, and he did not even as

Many men of the parties did not un-
derstand her at all. To the Conserya-
tives she was supposedly menace to
established class traditions. To the
Liberals she was a supposed Socialist,
a bit leftish To the Socialists she
was supposedly posing aristocratic up
start. As a matter Of fact, she was
simply a bright. sympathetic, impulsive
young woman who believed that as
things stood the women Of England
and their children we're not having a
good break; that they had not the
American womans pluck or daring to
do anything about it and, therefore,
she, still Nancy Langhorne in impetu-
osity and aggressiveness, would do
something about 1t.
Therefore, when her opponents spoke
of the impertinence exhibited by any
woman who sought to sit in Parlia-
ment, and particularly Of the ignoble
and humiliating spectacle that would
be presented if the first woman to sit
there were an American, the good
housewives told them to lay of their
Lady Nancy And the good house
coed men. Her wit and deadly riposte
in debate and on the soap box are too
well known to require repetition here;
but it is the fact that the women
largely were won to her, not by her
speeches, but by her everyday contact
with them In fact, 1t is not at all
certain that her ready and sometimes
astringent wit has not at times done
her more harm politically than good
Conservatives Hesitated.
Although at 4 st. James Square she
was to become hostess to the great OF
all nations in politics, professions and
the arts, her success was not imme-
diately or easily accomplished. Many
of the conservative aristocracy OF both
sexes hesitated to come, see and be
conquered In this emergency Edward
VII was once more the good friend OF
the deserving foreigner. His majesty
not only accepted her invitation to q
reception, but personally invited num-
ber of the most difficult but necessary
personalities. His invitation was a CON-
mand and was obeyed. The aristocracy
came and saw, but they were not YET
onquered-particularl the ladies.
Edward devoted himself so much tc
the young American hostess and
seemed so allured by her witty conver-
sation that the ladies went into a hud-
die, determined to break up the two
some. They proposed that she joir
them at bridge. Quite truthfully she
told them she did not play bridge. Ir
fact, she said, looking alternately al
them and his majesty: 'I know sc

French Women Renew Hope for Vote
In Drive to Change Senate Attitude

PARIs.-French suffragists are hope
full that the present session OF Parha-
ment may at last pass a law permitting
women to vote. Such bill has repeat
edIy been passed by the Chamber OF
Deputies in past years, but the Senate
has steadfastly refused to sanction IT.
This wear the National Woman Suffrage
Union, under the presidency OF the
Duchess de la Rochefaucauld, has been
working quietly winning Individual Sen
ators to support of the measure, and
tbe claim is made that chances are
,r,eh brighter than ever before.
France is today the only important
,,atior that excludes women from Vot-
ing and one OF the strongest arguments
the French suffragists make Is that III
other countries woman sunrase has
produced none Of the evil enects tha'
were predicted by opponents. 80
n is recognized, however, tnat con-
ditions in France differ sharply rom
those existing almost everyyaSre else
French politics is still GSninated py tns
religious issue, ~: the defenders OF tnt
Goddess ideal, who are anxious te
preserve the republic from any species
of church influence, are mortally a1rale
that the votes of the majority ol
French women would be dictated by tht
Roman clergy.
The opposite has been true In mos
other countries where woman suffragi
has been an issue in recent years. II
both England and America the belle
was held by many opponents of suffrage
that women would be swayed by radica
propaganda into favoring all kinds o
TeEh political experiments. Many o
the leading militants were avowed radi
Gals and revolutionaries, and the meth
os,s they sometimes employed. from tn
wADlence Of the PankhurstS in LondoI

to the picketing Of Miss Alice Pauls
organization in washington, were far
from reassuring.
The typical French male voter does
not go to church except when his chill
dren are baptized or confirmed, or when
his grown daughters get married. He
looks upon religion with amused indul-
gence so long as it keeps to the purely
spiritual sphere, but the moment 1t be-
gins to interfere in politics or educa-
tion he takes alarm. He considers that
although his parish priest may be an
agreeable fellow, the vast organization
behind him is relentlesSly working to
get back its pre-revolutionary prestige
to set up parochial schools in place of
the free thinking public schools, and
ultimately no doubt to restore the
monarchy.
This doctrine Is drilled into him by
radical politicians and by the school
teachers and other civil servants, who
for the most part are Socialists or radi-
Gals. Consequently, except IN few
| clerical strongholds. like some remote
| parts Of Brittany, the great majority OF
| elected local officials are strongly anti
| clerical And as 1t Is these local OH
cials who elect the Senators, 1t Is easily
understood why the Senate. SO far as
| the religious issue is concerned, Is q
strong defender of the Goddess" ideal.
It may be. therefore, that the suf-
| fragists are overoptimistic in their cal
culationS that they are making prog
ress with the Senate Certainly there
is no overwhelming demand on the part
| of French women for the vote. Most
| OF them seem quite content to let theil
husbands nnonopolize such linimportant
matters as voting, while they thenselye.

looking to the King for his reaction,
saw him shaking with laughter. How
ever, the ladies attendance on sue
ceeding occasions was due, not to the
lady's wit so much as to the growing
conviction that Lady Astor was on the
women's side. She battled against
men and their traditions, they found
she fought for women and their future.
Dry Stand Characteristic.
AS to prohibition: Lady Astor's po-
sition is consistent with that which
she has maintained on other public
social questions. 1t is the women who
suffer most from an excessive liquor
trade-of this she Is convinced: but
she does not believe any habit-restrain-
ing law is advisable, unless the people
themselves want it. So she hammers
away at the points for reform that will
be honored by popular acceptance and
approval. She advocates restrictions
as to hours and the manner OF public
sale, and she was so disturbed at the
sight of young boys and girls visiting
the bars of pubs" that she introduced
a bill providing that no liquor should
be sold to those under ID years OF age
She knew she could go this far with
the support Of most fathers and al
mothers.
Her bill was resisted in Parliament.
But Mr.. McQuestion, representative OF
the brewers, gave her an opening one
day when the House was discussing the
composition of a committee to con-
slider the bill. Reasons were requested,
he said, for the failure to include upon
the committee customers" and habit
ues" of the public houses. Lady Astor
welcomed the suggestion md answered
him: by all means, place the habltues
on the committee, but in each such
case I demand that the wife OF the
habitue go on the committee at the
same time"
There was no applause and her sug-
gestion was not adopted. But the
House reflected upon the matter and
when the bill came up 1t was carried
unanimously.
Is HeekIed Often.
It must not be assumed that Lady
Astor always has clear sailing. She
often Is heckled. Naturally, her wealthy
environment Is envied by many who dc
not understand what prompts her po-
litical career. Some looked upon her
as q publicity seeking and conceited
srob. One woman Of an audience once
shouted at her, MY child Is as good as
yoursl"
Lady Astor answered: which one OF
my children do you mean? have five
Four Of them are the best children in
the world. And as for the fifth, fol-
the last two years I haven't been able
to do a thing with him. I can readily
believe that your boy is behaving better

deadly and to the point, she is more

40, 900 Berlin Families
Move to Cheaper Flats

BERLIN.-Spring is moving day in
Berlin. This year it is estimated that
more than 10000 families changed
apartments, the striking feature on
this occasion being that every one of
them moved into a cheaper nat.
few years ago apartments with
3 or 10 rooms were all occupied, al
though 1t is true that in many cases
several rooms were given over to sub
tenants. Today flve-rocm apartment
is considered beyond the means Of most
households; nearly all thoes with more
than five rooms are vacant.
What Berliners want nowadays is a
nat with two or three rooms and kitch-
en-, and 1t Is difficult to find one va
cant.

Incurables Are Killed
I'm ''Cure'' for Leprosy

SHANGHAI, China-The mayor Of
a Chinese city in South China near
Canton has announced his discovery Of
a cure for leprosy. The townsmen are
now trying to dispose of the mayor.
The cure was simple, but it was no
remedy for the patients died. The
mayor invited lepers to his office, but
only two showed up, the others pre-
ferring to wait and see what happened.
When they learned what happened they
left town. The mayor had the two
conducted into a courtyard, placed
against brick wall and then shot.
That was his cure. It has raised
such a furor that other cities are not
likely to adopt it.
