worst of London's slums. The people aro
desperately poor, they aro ready to rise
In revolt soon as a leader appears, and
tho police aro beginning to, fear that in
Sylvia Pankhurst tho slum rats havo
found Jhclr leader.
I am inclined to believe that tho police
are right about It. I went "to call on
Sylvia In the tenement she retreated to
after her lust dramatic escape from the
clutches of the law. It Is In one of a row
of very poor little houses In a narrow
street running north from Roman Road,
Bow. I asked my way cautiously, a llt-
tlo doubtful of tho rather dangerous look
ing men and women who appeared In the
doorways and watched my progress down
tho street. When I reached the number
I knocked and asked for Miss Pankhurst
A typical East End woman camo to
tho door, a half finished upper of a shoe
In her hand.
" 'Ow doouknow she lives 'ere?" she
'asked guardedly, "'OO aro you?" I pro
duced evidence, of my good, faith, and
she smiled kindly. "Gow upstairs," sho
whispered. "Sylvia's In back." Sho Is
Sylvia to everyone in the East End.
The little housa whero tho shoemaker
man and wlfo has u three-room flat on
the second story and Sylvia lives in tho
kitchen, a tiny apartment, perhaps six
by nlno feet. The room Is furnished with
a cot bed.j.a, work table, a small dresser,
two or thrco chairs and a tiny cook
stove. In the window wero a few cheap
posies, offerings from friends. Here I
had tea and a long talk with Sylvia and
Zedla Emerson, who has just been dls
charged from the nursing home, whero
sho was sent more, than a month ago
with a fractured skull. I listened to the
story of Sylvia's many rescues by men
and women, who, underfed and under
sized, have only numbers and determina
tion to oppose to the 'batons of .the po
lice, men selected for their size and
strength.
"They will probably get mo at Shore
ditch next Tuesday," said Sylvia calmly,
"WhyT Because we have not had time
to organize Shoreditch yet. The people
there havo not been trained. It Is very
difficult for our army friends to drill our
coplo's army, which already has over
TOO men. No one wlQ rent us farge halls,
or even open spaces, for drilling. So we
have to drill them In small groups In
rooms. Shoreditch has not yet had a
chance."
"Ho'Yv arc they drilled?" I asked.
'They aro drilled to resist rather than
to attack. Army men . know all the
secrets of turning columns, of what you
Americans call sidestepping. They teach
our people these secrets and also how
to keep a solid mass together. They
teach them that a mounted officer has no
control over his mount If tho man on
toot knows how to handle the bridle. A
skilled man can make a policeman's
horse kneel, or Ho down, or rear. When
we really get our men trained and get
him over his East End fear of horses,
the mounted men will be quite at our
mercy. But come to Shoreditch and you
will probably see nje taken."

Bides of the streot, I asked one of the
men what had happened. Had they ar-
lcstcd Miss Pankhurst. Not yet, ho re
plied, but sho was to be nrrestcd as soon
as sho reuched tho hall. As a matter
of fact, sho was already In the hnll, and
a fow minutes later she walked out on
tho platform. Mrs. Mary Leigh, who
was sentenced to two years imprison
merit for setting fire to a theater In
Dublin, and who , starved her way out
in a few days, presided, and thero wero
Efvoral speakers beside Sylvia. Recruits
lrom tho people's army wero called for,
and Sylvia explained tho organized effort
that was being mado to secure- a "no
nnt strike" on an Immense .scale
throughout the East End. At the closo
the chairman told tho roaring crowd to
remain in the seats until Miss Pankhurst
had timo to assume her disguise. She
would then place herself .in the middle
of the throng, which was to rush Into
the street in a compact- mass, keeping
the formation until Sylvia was safe from
tho police.
The crowd really kept together until It
was well up the streot, In spite of the
fact that several hundred policemen
charged It at tho door. Then something
happened. Tho crowd seemed to part In
tho middle. A detective rushed forward
and tore Sylvia's hat from her head- He
shouted, and a flying wedge of policemen
scattered tho crowd and captured tho
prey. . They captured more than Sylvia.
At these rare moments of police triumph
the men mako tho most of their
Victory.
They arrest right and left regardless
of guilt or Innocence.
The scene next day In Old Street po
lice station, where all concerned except
Sylvia were tried, was most amazing. Syl
via, It must be Interpolated, was taken
drccty to Hollowoy. Tho persons tried
Were four, three men and a woman Of
these the woman was fined 40 shillings
for obstructing the police. One of tho
men, a person of soma consequence, was
discharged, although ho had actually
kicked the shins of a constable. The other
two men, East lenders, had to my knowl
edge, nothing to do with tho affair. Ono
was a news vendor, .and he was In the
street quite accidentally. He got two
months at hard lubor. The fourth man
swore that ho was returning from a ball
with two women and an umbrella in one
hanO and two paper boxes In the other.
The policeman who arrested him swore
tho man had struck him repeatedly
across the back. Ho Illustrated the man
ner of tho assault, after which the ac
cused demonstrated that he could not
possibly have acted In the manner de
scribed because be was left-handed and
could not swing a stick with his right
hand. The magistrate reluctantly dis
charged him, but he said nothing of re
buke to tho perjured policeman. When
Uie woman prisoner openly accused
a policeman whose number she
had secured, of striking Sylvia,
the magistrate merely said that the
man who bears that number was not on
duty at the time. It Is a common thing,
tho .suffragettes declare, for the police to
exchange numbers on occasions like this,
In order to prove an alibi. It looks to an
outsider that tho government Is waging

In 1900."
Miss Glldersleeve is ot the opinion that
tho higher education postpones mother
hood. That is. Instead of tho girl mar
rying at 19, she marries at 23. Apd this,
Miss Glldersleeve thinks, Is a move in tho
right direction.
As Dr. Stanley Hall says. "Delay
adolescence," so Miss Gildcrsleovo says,
"Peluy motherhood."
Miss Gldcrslcevo quotes Hugo Do'Vrlra,
tho eminent Hilologlst, who says, "The
best qualities are roproduoed from ma

Dr. Sarah J. McNutt, a distinguished
authority upon medical topics, declares
emphatically that It Is her opinion, after
studying the subject for many years,
that a woman who has hud the advan
tages of tho higher education will prob
ably not produce as many children, but
her children will bo of better quality,
and more likely to live to attain and to
become.

will probably have, say, three children.

who marries at 19, as odr grandmammus

her to bring to bear a greater degrco of

"Nature docs not contcmpato a life

"and It Is not nt nit likely that a woman

man who la mentally commonplace."
The tragedy of marrlago often turns
on tho fact' that whllo tho man and
woman start In on an equality, tho
woman gets Incarcerated In a kitchen, Is
deluged In housekeeping details, and
swamped by society, while tho man goes
