The whole female sex have been deprifed

PEELED to crowd into the poorest Iaid

years ago men would have scorned to- do
the baking. and the brewing. and the dan

work which women had done from me
immemorial, and as il was hard work they
were cheerfully allowed to have the POLE
right to it. In our grandmothers' day HSo-
men were the butter and cheese makers of

IL don't like her, James," said old Mrs.
Sharp, shaking her head "She won't do,

said James. He had returned from es-
corting his fiancee home, after visit she

"Well, / can see she is untidy and

worse under the surface. A carelessly

chagrined, "Im sure Annie is always pref

These are little things, I'll admit, but you
know straws show the winds direction.
When she was here noticed her breast
pin was on awry, "A button was missing
from her glove and, worse still, another
from her boot. Her bonnet string was
pinned on, and there WAS n grease spot on
the front breadth of her skirt" James
flushed angrily. "Al were such little
things, mother, you might have overlooked
them, and You would, believe, only you
were anxious 10 find something wrong
with her Every one you mentioned
might have been the result of an acct
dent"
His mother sighed, but answered good
naturally; Maybe 50, my dear-I won't
say So only you must pardon me if l say a
woman, and especially n young girl, who
has As yet no household cares, should never
allow even accidents to present her in an
untidy, careless garb to the world. a few
minutes would have sufticed to put the
missing buttons back, the breastpin on
straight, to have tackled the bonnet string
securely in, and to have taken out the
grease spot
The young man saw no flaw in the girl
he loved, and married her eventually, but
today his Ill kept home, with its thousand

slovenliness, and Il source of real trouble to
herself and all her family.
The stitch that she failed TO take in time
has left the whole web OF her life defective
and with raveled ends. the button gone
from her boot has veXed her daily, and the
grease spot IN the front breadth has grown
and multiplied. Poor Jamesi 1t seemed
little thing to him that her bonnet string
sncircling her dimpled, rosy face was only
pinned in, but now that the Glamor of ro-
nance and courtship has yielded to the
stern reality of life he finds nothing little

In all the emancipation movements, ana
the enlargement of woman's sphere, the
matter of obtaining what is desired 10y in
direction remains. Why was the type
writer invented2 IL seems most innocent
Industrial advance and IA new avenue for
women. And now we hear that the type
writer is more likely to get married than
any other industrial woman. 1t is one OF
the most promising of all the indirect ways
of escaping from the monotony OF single
life. Thus, even in our enlarging oppor-
tuni.ies, we keep on in the old way. The
object is still obtained by indirection.
1t is no answer TO this question whether
women shall propose, TO say that every
woman can get married who wishes to do
so. and that all history shows this. The
real question is, is she free to marry &C
cording to her taste and inclination, and
would she be happier, in the majority OF
cases, if she could honorably approach
those TO whom she is attracted, instead OF
waiting to be approached by those who are
attracted to herr
1t is not fair to leave this question hang
ing in the air without saying that there
are old fashioned people of both sexes who
think men and women are radically differ
ent, that if they were made alike the world
would be fiat affair. and that, as human
life is arranged, the pleasure of being
wooed is quite equal 10 the pleasure of
wooing-Charles Dudley Warner in Har-

"All men have their price" He never
said so, ana entertained no such narrow

quotation. and Il wide deviation from
the truth. The love of money is the
root of all evil is the correct quotation.
"Love me little, love me long" is Il
household phrase sometimes supposed to
