1t is coming, MIR. Editor; the crisis is
fast culrlinaing. The signs Of the times
are pregnant with female suiiiage You
eau see it in the defiant glance of woman's
eye 10 the proud bearing Of her step; in
each additional half inch she adds to the
heel of Eor boot and every extra pound of
hair she puts in her crigpon. Mans sole
enjoyment Of certain things has lasted
long enough The ban under which wo
mcn has rested, ever since Eve patronized
sataus applicant. is about to he removed.
No more will man be Lord of creation. No
more will he have the entire monopoly Of
cigars, cocktails, trowsers delifinm tren,enS
free fights, bribery at elections, and the
station house. Women will be debarred
none of the Injuries enjoyed by the other
sex. She will have night key. She
viii swear and spit and chew tobacco. She
will skirmsh round the streets at midnight
and howl and hang on the lamp posts and
sing "wc wont go home till morning." aud
fight and break windows and enjoy herself
She viii use side Saddle no more. She
will have nothing more to do with hoops,
hose and Mysteries. In future, when women
feels aggrieved, instead Of going about in-
snuatng that her enemy is no better than
she should be, she'll take a club and upset
the stove, and make the family stand round
generally.
There Will be no sewing societies in
those days mo more tearing Of hair nor
back biting nor babies nor breaches of prom
ise. Expressions like you mean wretch,
You nasty, dirty thing You horrid old
fright, You did, 4 didn't etc, will be
expupged from the female Vocabulary, and
replaced by such vigorous English as
You're liar,' Come on you low black
guard You Internal scoundrel,' 'Yot
blasted horse thief
Women will meet on the street with th'
salutation will you take something? ant
they'll be borrowing tobacco and quarters
: and little girls will scout round the doors o
theatres after the first act to get checks
There will be no old maids in that happ

i she'll get married, and no nonsense abou
} it. She wont have to sit and wait for tn
fellow, and sob and sigh and waylay nir

and pick out the man she wants, and frce2
to him at once. and there will be an end {

Women will kiss no more then nor

d The standard OF female perfection wi
n have undergone radical change in thos
S days. The cradle and the fireside will /

loud tongue and the forword manner wi
carry off the palm, and the gentle, tende
low voiced woman we knew in our chil,

a happy and serene.
