gifts and graces, and takes herself with
the most deadly seriousness, not as a hui

will have It that the loud and frequent dis
cussion OF woman" by women defeats the
very purpose they have in view-the amel-
ioration OF womans condition. With sledge
hammer force this skilled debater and soci-
ologist insists that the individual wrongs
from which individual women suffer are not
to be righted by papers in congresses, nor
can the sex-wrongs from which all women
are supposed to be suffering be otherwise
than aggravated when made the subject of
excessive consideration. In the matter
Of unequal payment for equal
work her argument is unanswer-
able. Anything that helps to emphasize
the fact that women are newcomers in any
field Of work, says Mrs. Moody. tends to
lower directly the wages Of that work: any
thing that helps to arouse the prejudices of
men. and so keeps up an unfair discrimina-
ton against women-workers. tends direct
ly to depress wages; anything that intro
duces a false distinction into work-and the
sex distinction Is false one-will lower
wages; any sentimental consideration that
serves to obtrude the fact that women are
not equal to men In units Of horse power.
Is sure to lower wages. 1.-The fact is"-and
here there can be no doubt about the en-
phasiS-"womsn-w workers are At q consider
able physical disadvantage In comparison
with men. and the less said about 1t. the
better" Mrs Moody thinks that intangi-
BILE affair called the Woman Question" is
something Of which men are already very
tired. and of which women ought to be;
she sees no reason why there should be
woman's exhibit at the worlds fair, and Is
evidently satisfied that to make a separate
exhibit Of woman's work does no honor to
women. no matter how good the work may
be, for 1T seems to make marvel Of what
Il no marvel at all, namely, that women
are as capable as men in most things more
capable than men in many things and ut
teriy incapable Of few things that men
do very we'll" Such an exhibit, she claims,
does great injustice to womankind. for
with all their wide opportunities for work
outside the home, the majority Of women
elect the work that keeps them within its
walls. They neither paint pictures. nor
carve statues, nor write books nor invent
things. but they rear their sons in the ways
of upright men and teach their daughters
the glory Of womanliness. They are the
friends and counselors Of their husbands"
Who shall successfully dispute Mrs.
Moody's conclusion that the real emanci-
patton of woman will come only when she
Is emancipated from herself?
