manlSh Womanish Women, and those who think
that woman Will become masculine If she Is admitted
to the rights and privileges she claims. The hrss
comprise those men who pride themselves upon their
exclusive privileges, upon their animal and physical
superorIiv and those things which they have appro-
priaied peculiarly 10 themselves. The second are
those women who esteem the things most when
will please the perverted taste OF men, and VINO take
pleasure IN those fatienes when me womanIy wo-
man despises from the bottom OF her heart, and the
third are those whose ideal of womanhood Is seen IN
the fral and delicate beauty the supneness and sub
mlsSive spirit OF the woman OF fashion, tie portray
ed the true IDEAL of perfect manhood, that IN which
