A true understanding Of social eco nomy
viii: not permit woman 10 be subjected 70
any work that robs OF physical charm and
moral serenity. That thousands ofwomsn
are compelled to labor that unscxcs them
that checks the symmetrical growth Of
their bodies and the harmonious develop
ment Of their natures is to them the r..
tai necessity OF an imperfect and progress
sive society. But The whole effort Of
workers and thinkers is to emancipste the
laboring classes, or tc protect them FROM
the wreiched consequences of oyer.work.
The emancipation of man from the injus-
ticc OF other than self.imposed work Is
prior TO that Of woman. simply because
woman cannot be emancipated before man
enjoys free activity. Considering the
fact that the end ofliy;ng is not work, but
perfection, or beauty, aud believing that
women. in society as fully organized as
our own, help men best when they are n ost
engaging and beautiful, we must write that
Mrs. Stowe has made false application 6f
the theory Of work. Il is wrong not only
from the aesthetic point Of view, but also
from TIC moral poiut Of view; women need
love, men need beauty. The passion Of
love in women aud mans passion for beau
~ are the two great aud irresistible antag-
onisis in. the social world. Mans desire
for beauty is as unquenchable aud bencf-
cent as womau's need Of love, and the
prime cause OF uniaithfulness Of men Is
disgust for the dis6gurcd aud oyervorked,
the ungruceful aud unattractiye matfUbs
whom they call wives. When vile

aud beautiful being TO whom her husband
