For two days she was subjected to close examination of her throat, but nary a diphtheria germ was found, so a clear bill of health was given to her. She has been In Chicago for a week, spending much of her time purchasing a wardrobe to add to the contents of a suit case with which she made her hurried and secret departure from the far western dormitory.

P. Spcakors "Warn New Voters of Non-Partisanship's Perils. FUTILE FOR REFORMS Judge Gcnung Advises Them to Bo Americans First, Thon Party Supporters. "It Is better to be a Democrat even than not to be partisan at all." ih women of ths New York State Republican Association were told yesterday by Miss Mary Wood, lon-r prominent In, the work of the) women's division of the O. O.

P. She and every other speaker, at the regular meeting ot the aasocla- I tjon which was held In the Republican Club, E4 Weat Fortieth street, earnestly! warned the women to be "regular" and heed no Biren call from nnv thlrrt nar. of non-partisan policy, whether formed by women or by women and men together. "Do not ally yourselves with any non-partisan third party, In the hope of accomplishing this or that reform," Miss Wood said. "Such attempts are always failures." George Genung, municipal court Judge, declared that "every third party In history had fallen down," but he wasn't so sure that partisanship should be put above everything.

"I that I'm touching on a very delicate subject," he said nervously, "and If you disagree with mo say so but I think you ought to be Americans first and Republicans second. Consider a public man on his record, or what he has done. But one word, ladle don't go over to the Democrats In the "bope of vetting Jobs. The good Jobs the Democrats have for women will go to mose wno nave 'been with that party, not to women who have been Republicans one day and Democrats the next. Make no mistake the Democrats are organizing the women very skillfully in every county, and the good Jobs will go to their own." "Be partisan 1" was the burden of Miss Helen Varlck Boswell's speech.

"Be a Socialist If you have got to, be Democrat If you must, be a rplendld Republican If you will but be partisan." Miss Boswell aimed a few shots at the war taxes and declared that the Republican Congress would repeal these. "Take the luxury taxes," she complained. "Consider the Injustice of a tax on Ice cream toda. Mtss Wood," she added, apostrophising that lady, who stood resting after her oratorical effort, "you look like one who consumes a good many Ice cream sodas. Join us ln a crusade against this tax." Miss Wood, who does not deny being plump, said with feeling that she would, that there was nothing sho felt more deeply about.

Mrs. John Francis Yawger. State president, defended the course of Speak er Sweet of the Assembly In causing the women labor bills to be held up ln committee. Speaker Sweet, she said, felt that there were defects ln the hills and that they would, If enacted Into law. Interfere unduly with women get ting and keeping their Jobs; also that they would saddle great expense on tho State.

"Will tome one please tell us, If It would have been wrong to put those bills through last winter, why did the Republican members from New York city stand for them? Aren't those members representative of tho party or of us?" demanded Mrs. uora Ogan, leader of the Republican women ln the Twenty-second District "Oh, well, you can't explain why men do foolish thlnga sometimes. Why, sometimes men go over to the Democratic party, and how can you explain that?" returned Mrs. Yawger. Mrs.

Ogan sat down, complaining that she got "no answer to her question at all," The meeting was over jromptly at 5 and Mrs. Yawyer hustled the women out, saying that It was a man's club nnd the men would be coming ln soon for dinner and what not and It wouldn't do at all for them to fincV the women there. SDFFS IN BROOKLYN DINE MEN LEADERS Mrs. Catt, Miss liny and Mrs. Drcier Bury Politicians' Third Party Bogey.

The Brooklyn surra had a dinner last night at the Academy of Music to celebrate the rebirth of the Brooklyn Woman Suffrage Party Into the Brooklyn League of Women Voters, and Mrs, Carrie Chapman Catt took advnntage of the occasion to reasuure the male politicians who Jiave seen In the National League of Women Voters the bogey ot a third party founded on sex lines. The league, she said, absolutely non-partisan, composed of women who am Individuals were mostly enrolled In one or other of the two great political parties', had an Its main object the abolition of menace which was greater than Bolahe-vlklsm the menace of Illiteracy. "No republic is safe," she said, "ln which there exists the degree of Illiteracy that was revealed by the selective draft. And neither of the great parties has as yet declared against this menace," Catt, Miss Mary Garrett Hay nnd Mrs. Edward E.

Dreier, leader of the Brooklyn suffs, all declared that thu women Intended to take thalr places In the established parties. "We have been working forty years to get Into your parties," MIhs Hay told the men, of whom there were many nt the dinner, "and we don't Intend to remain outside now we have got the vote." The suffs did their best to have both the elephant and the donkey represented In tho male guests. A score of district leaders of. both faiths were there; James W. Gerard and Frederick C.

Tanner spoke at the guest table, and John H. McCooey and Jacob A. Livingston talked by Invitation from the floor for the Democratic and Republican Kings county executive committees. Mr, McCooey, feeling aa he said that the women might be lonesome as a result of the change In the name of their organization', and not wanting any woman to be lonesome, gave them all a cordial bid to come Into the Democratic party, which possessed, he declared, all the Ideals Mrs. Dreier and the other suffragists had described as theirs.

Mr. Livingston was equally cordial, a fact which gave Mra. Catt some amusement, "Th parties are very pressing In their invitations to us," she remarked. 'They were more chary about Inviting us before we won enfranchisement. But we are glad to forgive; as far as we are able." Mr.

Gerard made a strong plea for a covenant to end war, though forbearing to apeak In favor of any certain league, Mr. Tanner seconded him, saying that he hoped that all partisanship would be kept out of the consideration ot the league.

Potter Is the noceur mpn(-tent of American playwrights. He returned to the local stage last night after too long an absence with "Pretty Soft" It Is a three act farce. Add to this description the fact that It Is founded on "The Dormouse" by Antony Mars and Leon Xanrof, enjoyed a long run in Paris and Is altogether dedicated to the task of making tho world laugh at what It la expressly taught It should not smile at ln public, and It Is easy to see tho manner In which Mr. Potter elected to appeal to the latest generation of playgoers. He plainly wishes to be remembered as the author of "The Girl From Rector's" and "The Queen of the Moulin Rouge." Little does he seem anxious to let the world know that he la also tho author of "Trilby," "Sheridan" anil halt a dozen of the noted stage successes of score of years ago.

Tho dramatist Is a past master at adapting skilfully these highly seasoned French compounds to the taste of the American public. He knows Just when to emphasize one flavor and leave out another. Then he understands what must be added so to read that farce is in the original by this author or that is ln reality a bit of camouflage In which the author Indulges himself. He adds so much of his own and so much that has proved Its value elsewhere that It Is not easy to assign the honors of authorship when the playwright Is finished. Everywhere discernible, however.

Is the hand of the skilful man of the theatre. And that la one ot the reasons for the loAijhlng success of last night's venture Info the Held of piquant farce. As a spcc.es of middle ground between this city nnd Paris, Mr. Potter has put the scenes of the new play ln London. These Include a drawing room In Oower street, an artist's studio, another retreat rilled "The Studio." but probably not Intended for the pursuit of art and as the home of the Inevitable nemesis, a police Inspector's office.

Thus the playwright has framed the pictures which are Intended to add their spice to the familiar humor of the Oalllc farce. They served their purpose. Mr. Potter's ingredients last night were a youthful married couple with the husband excessively drowsy from the effects of a sleeping draught which former and Jealous beloved had administered the doting uncle anxious that his family name should not be "extinguished," van ous philandering wives with their part nera and the obliging patronesses of "The Studio" which was no more than a supper club. Of course, all hands arrived at this resort and there was not only Incessant fun In their misadven tures after they got there but In their manner of reaching the private rooms.

The entertainment of boulevard farce was here in its best estate. AdmiraDie comedians Interpreted Its spirit and the constant laughter of the audience showed with what" certainty experelnce and skill had calculated the result. A Zeppelin raid came as the voice of con science and the further moral of toying with forbidden fruit was pointed by the scene ln the police Inspector's office. So nobody need have felt guilty for having had such a good time In watch ing the experiences of the frivolous dramatis personae of "Pretty Soft." Rose Coghlan as the obliging head ot "The Studio" Inspired the second act with her sturdy spirit of comedy, and one of the Irresistibly laughable scenes of the farce came when she and Edwin Ntcander, who was admirable as the drowsy bridegroom, met In the supper loom. Margaret Nybloc as the brisk maid of the club, Dallas Welford with lis comic gurgling In his throat, Claude Reerbohm, Edouard Durand aa a French olflcer of uncontrollable gallantry, Rowland Buckatone as the bluff uncle these were some of the well known actors who added their talents to the success of the evening.

There was on the distaff side an ample supply of beauty In Nona Bruns. Nancye Stewart Florence Eldrldge and Jean Stuart. They were all easy to contemplate and that helped to make more complete the success of "Pretty Soft" as the moat amusing specimen' of Its kind seen here well, since "The Girl from Rector's." WOMEN IN NIGHT WORK VEXED To Protest on Nov Law and "Ofllrlous Clnb Members." A meeting to protest against the new law prohibiting the employment of women at night will be held In a local theatre some evening next week, according to an announcement yesterday by Miss Mary Donnelly, 16 West Thirty-sixth street. Miss Donnelly said that 6,000 ticket agenta, conductorettes and others who preside over coin boxes on local transit lines would be thrown out of employment Many were widows with children to support she said, and some had been ln the employ of the B. T.

for eighteen or twenty years. "Tho uplift workers, the legislators and Gov. Smith will be asked to suggest ways nnd means to care for the widows and orphans they have deprived of bread and butter," said Miss Donnelly. "The bill was passed ns the result of the officious activity of club women without a knowledge of the facts. What have they to offer those whtxa Jobs they have taken? Mature women employees on duty at night were a great moral force ana frequently protected youna- firlrla.

SAM BERNARD TO REST "Welcomo Stranger" Wilt Bo Taken In by Baltimore Next Monday. Was Alice Brady 111 last Wednesday or wasn't she? Answer yea or no. That Is the question which was flung yesterday at the William A. Brady offices from Newark, where It seems to be causing considerable agitation In the belief that on that date Miss Brady claimed acting laurels that really' belonged to one of Newark's fair daughters. Tho gantlet waa hurled In the following letter to Mr, Brady's household guards: "I am a teacher ln ode ot the Newark high schools.

One ot the pupils, a young girl about 17, claims that on Wednesday last sho played the title roll In 'Forever After' because of the very sudden Illness of Miss Brady. This, seems so absolutely Improbable that none of the teachers who have heard the story believe It This girl we "know has some talent, but the friendship she claims with Mls9 Brady has been questioned and thl last story Is absolutely disbelieved. "We are In this position So far as I know this girl has never been caught telling a falsehood. It this story Is true tha girl should not be mtajudged. If it is false It should be found out and this girl should be talked to very seriously.

Will you not drop me a line and let ine know who took Miss Brady's part If she was 111 last Wednesday?" Newark Still Unsatisfied. Miss Brady, accepting the challenge, said that after consulting her diary she could find no entry that she was 111. She Is certain she was on the stage of the Playhouse on that day at least she had all tho feelings of being there and It any one assures her she had to take to her bed Instead she Is not unduly alarmed over It Mr. Brady, appealed to by cable In London, wired back last night that so far as he knew Miss Brady headed the cast on Wednesday. But In Newark, according to Inside information, the feeling remains that the Brady organization It determined not to give real talent Its due.

Just as they do In the play, Sam Bernard and Louis Mann of "Friendly Enemies" at the Hudson Theatre will break off their long association this evening, Mr. Bernard retiring from the cast to rest his German dialect. He will be succeeded at to-morrow's matinee by Charles Wlnnlnger, who after getting the foreign twist in his tongue by Imitating Leo Dltrlchsteln In the Cohan revues has been throwing his vocal cords THE REVIEW zf weefzly journal of political and jfeneral discussion HERE is urgent need at this time of a weekly journal of serious discussion which shall resist the unthinking drift towards radical innovation. THE most notable of our weekly journals of discussion, so far from opposing this drift, have themselves become its chief promoters. The upheaval produced by the war has been exploited in the interest of projects, however crude, to bring about a new dispensation from which it is imagined that somehow the brotherhood of man will emerge.

This immature but seductive propaganda adds the voices of a considerable body of intellectuals to the clamor aroused among the masses by the most demagogic of our daily papers. THE manifest need of a journal that shall represent the more sober thought of the nation has led a large number of citizens of the highest standing throughout the country to form the stock company which will publish THE REVIEW a weekly journal of general culture, devoted to the maintenance of constructive public policies based on sound American principles. The paper will be edited by Fabian Franklin and Harold de Wolf Fuller, with the co-operation of an able editorial staff. Rodman Gilder is the Business Manager. THE REVIEW will be a journal of wide range and will include, in particular, adequate discussion of great international questions.

It will be animated by a spirit of progress, will welcome and promote needed projects of social improvement, but will insist upon the maintenance of those things which must be preserved if the nation is to remain a people of self-reliant freeman. LITERATURE, science, and art, especially in their larger as- pects, will be treated by contributors of eminent ability. It is desired to make the paper an institution to be prized in every cultivated family, an educational and literary factor of the first importance in the lives of its members. THE first issue of THE REVIEW is out today. THE REVIEW is on sale at the news-stands at 15 cents a copy.
