AT THE ALKRAMA WEDNESDAY (By the Press Agent) Is a healthy and attractive South ern girl likely to forever remain an tagonistic to the thought of marriage just because she hates the idea of marriages arranged for her by an ambitious aunt and uncle? Would euch a girl eubmlt tamely to their plan to marry her to the Pretender to a throne, in order for her to become a queen? These questions are an swered to the satisfaction of every Southern man, and woman, too, in Anita Stewarts superb presentation of "Clover's Rebellion" at the Al krama today and tonight. Anita Stewart needs no praise in these col umns. That would be presumption on the part of the Press Agent, but you folks know what her work is and her play is suited to her, so a word to the wise should lie sufficient. In addition there are two good come dies, besides the relief one gels from the torrid weather the Alkrama's breeze bath.

Visits City In Interest Suffrage Miss Mary Elizabeth Pidgeon, field secretary of the Xational Suffrage Association, was in (he ci: y Monday and Tuesday, for the purpose of en listing the aid of the Elizabeth City women in inducing senators an J rep resentatives of this county and dis trict to vote for the constitutional amendment that will give women the right to vote, at the special ses sion of the Legislature to be held in July. Miss Pidgeon represents the con servative woman's suffrage party, and is not in sympathy with the mil itarist suffragettes whose picketing of the White House and hunger strikes have made that branch of the suffragist party unpleasantly promi nent Gen'le voiced and mannered. Miss Pidgeon has nothing of the cartooned suffragette about her. Ready argu ments in favor of the cause she rep resents and refutations of the state ments made by the anti-suffragist party, make Miss Pidgeon a most convincing talker. In company with several friends of the cause, .Mi - Pidgeon visited Sen ator Ferebee Tuesday morning, in the endeavor to induce him to vote for the 19th amendment, when the Legislature nie t- in July. Hut the Senator has his own convictions on the subject, and like many a conser vative Southerner, feels that the vote would barm, not help the women, so he courteously but firmly declared that he could not yield to the request of the suffragists, plead they never so wisely.

Their experiences in Manila, pro bably have been a disappoint incut to most of them as their soldier hus bands on their meager pay of thirty six dollars a month have been un able to support a family, house rent and food prices having almost dou bled here within the last year. To prevent these Russian girls from actual suffering and other charitable the Red Cross organizations, 1 have provided them with shelter and food. They are willing to work, but hav ing no knowledge of English or Span Ish they are unable to find employ ment in any of the stores of Manila and native men and boys are pre ferred for house servants. After several weeks of Investiga tion as to the best disposition to make of war brides and their sol dier husbands, the army authorities derided that they, with few excep tions,, should be sent to the I'nited States and there distributed among the army camps and posts, where quarters are available for married enlisted men. These the depart ment of the Philippines is not able to provide. Only those enlisted men with wives, who have an income in addition to their army pay will be perinillled to r'liiaiii in the Philip pines.

Several of them were married at the pier while awaiting to be put on board a transport for the voyage back to Vladivostok, which made them American citizens and gave them the right to stay here. One of these stowaways, clad in male attire, when about to be plac ed on board a transport for deporta tion, with several thousand Russian rubles in her hand, appealed to the crowd at the pier for some man to marry her and save her life Irom what she said would be certain death if she were returned to Siberia. The Russian money which is now of little value, value, appeared to have j no influence toward bringing forth ' a husband for the woman, and she was sent back to Siberia.
