The literature of the South, notably
that contributed by Southern women,
consists chiefly of versiicatlons and ro-
nance, Characteristic, indeed, of the
literature of all people in the process
of national evolution. Sectional
prejudice cramps most of the writers,
While it is at the same time their choic-
est inspiration. But genius can not
express itself in limitations, and when
the women OF the South free them
selves from purely sectional pride anc
patriotism, no writer will take prece
dence of them. Intense In nature, en-
thusiastic, reckless of consequences
when point is to be gained, heroic,
self-sacrifcipg, freed forever, thank
God, from the one factor of their
social fabric Wi ich necessarily cramped
and warped their lives, I believe
that IN one more generation
Southern women will outstrp their
leaders in their lsbors for the elevation
of the sex and regeneration of the ns-
ton. They have shown 1.-THE courage
for defeat" the surest way for future
victory. Southern women were born
politicians. The hands of most of the
men OF both parties are unclean, asd
peution was prepared for the State
Constitution, demanding suffrage for
women. The signatures 10 it were
representative OF the better class Of
citissns. What = grand step in sd-
yancel The need of the women OF the
South is encouragement. In poverty,
loneliness and sorrow they are working
out their salvation. 1 pray you bid
them God speed.
The menufsc,ure of gloves hss been
an important trade in France from
early times. In 790, or thereshout,
Charlemagne granted an unlimited
rIgst to the Abbott and monks of Slthlh
TO make gloves from the skins of the
deer they killed. The Council of AK.
circa $40, prohibited the inferior clergy
from wearing any but sheep. skin
gloves. Before this the fathers Of the
church had inveighed agsins the prac-
tice of glove-wearing as effem nate.
