femininity predominates in the man,
or masculinity distinguishes the
woman, there is to that extent a
social abnormality that mars the
symmetry of life and obstructs the
movement of natural means for So
cial improvement. The restlessness
that comes from the spirit of insub-
ordination to natural order threat
ems serious social disturbance. This
restlessness is not confined to the
anarchist, the nihilist, the socialist
or the communist, but it has invad-
cd the sacred precincts of the home.
1t is not too much OF venture to
say that the present is a time of
such restlessness.
The activity and progressiveness
OF American llfe, while full Of prom
Use of great achievements, have in
them the germs of correspondlngly
great evils. Present social condi-
tons may proye society's Nemesis.
Disturbance of social natural laws
weaves the drapery that conceals
the sword of social retribution. Mas
enline capabilities haye naturally
appointed adaptations. The same
IS true of feminine qualities. But
these differ. To undertake a sew
eral or inversion Of the natural or
der would be to effect disorder and
consequent confusion and conflict.
Strength, courage and the power
OF physical endurance, with mental
organism adapted to the organiza-|
