For concslence's sake lot us cease
this everlasting prattle about the pres
ent being 'womnn's century" and
"woman'B age" implying each time
that we say It that the women OF any
previous age were driyeling idiots. and
cnsting a slur upon the very women
who gave US our being. writes Edward
w. Box In a vigorous defense OF the
woman OF a generation ago. In the May
Ladies' Home Journal. Why ls this
''wopan's century" any more than was
any century before III just because a
few thousand more women are engaged
In business? Does that fact make a
''woman's century," We haven't de-
terfnined yet. by any means, whether
the present tendency OF woman going
into the rouRher commercial pursuits
is 10 her interest or to the benefit OF
those who viii follow her. A little
caution here Is a very good thing.
What sense Is there In this constant
ding-dongfng into the ears OF our girls
that they are born at the dawn OF
wornans emancipation Emancipa-
ton from WHAT WIN this sort OF thing
teach our girls 10 have a greater re-
epect for the women OF the past gem
erations7 II we keep up this harangue
much longer ! shall not blame our
Youngest girls II they get the notion
that the world only began about forty
or atty years ago II we expect chill
dran TO have respect for their
mothers. and their mothers parents.
We cannot enshroud the times In
which they lived With the darkness OF
i.,rf,ranca and bigotry. The women
