_Punch_, with commendable reticence, contents himself with observing, "nothing, however, was said as to which world." In 1907 we encounter a picture describing the embarrassment of an unfortunate man invited to tea at a ladies' club by a lady who had forgotten that the afternoon was consecrated to a "Down with Men" Meeting. In "Cross-examining a Suffragist" _Punch_ dexterously manoeuvres a witness into the admissions (1) that nothing could cause Miss Pankhurst greater suffering than to stay idly at home while other women were demonstrating and going cheerfully to martyrdom; (2) that the greater the suffering, the greater the proof of faith in the Cause. Whereupon his Lordship then delivered judgment as follows:-- That Miss Pankhurst and her family should show their faith in the cause by suffering in the way suggested by _Mr. Punch_. That they should stay quietly at home for a while--keep out of the newspapers--arrange no demonstrations--go to no prison; seeing that this would be a much truer and more effective martyrdom than anything they had done as yet. [Sidenote: _Argument and Ridicule_] [Illustration: THE SPLIT BUDDING SUFFRAGETTE: "I say, Pussy" (with intensity), "are you a Peth or a Pank?"] "And," continued his Lordship, waxing eloquent, "if time hangs heavy on their hands---- "Are there no beggars at the gate, Nor any poor about the lands? Oh! teach the orphan boy to read, Or teach the orphan girl to sew, Pray Heaven for a Woman's heart, And let the Woman's Suffrage go."
