The Nineteenth Century Woman.

There is an old belief of the masculine
Anglo-Saxon mind that a woman, to be
lovable, should have no marked individ-
uality. But with this worlds rapid adj
vance through the Victorian age woman
has become more than ever perpIexing to
the male atom who poises himself for
moment to make a study of her. She no
longer needs mans apparel TO practice
profession or to journey forth on foot under
the green leaves of Arden. She has grown
self reliant and opolitan-equallya at
home in the White House or on the banks
of the Neva. She never plucks daisies and
buttercups nowadays to test her lovers at
lection by pulling apart their petals You
find her, instead, arranging orchids in a
glass and making cynical reflections upon
the worthlessness of the entire race Indi-
vidual love or hate in the opposite sex is
apparently all one TO her-Scribner's.
