THE NEW WOMAN.
| DEAR c. c. FRIENDS: ] am deeply interested
| in the new woman" We read of her in al
most every paper, but there are some things
about her which her discoveries fail to make
plain.
| In the first place, they all aver that the new
| woman wants to vote; not only to vote at
school elections, but to vote with all the prerogs-
| tives which the men enjoy; and il she does
vote. they tell Is. in consequence. she must 60
! forth to fight in case of war.
| not woman's ffragisf hnt T ranunk
understand why it might not be possible for
women TO vote without their having to fight.
| 1t surely cannot be said that by woman's voting
there would be a tendency to precpitate war.
| One Of the hmsiest arguments which has
| yet been produced is that the new woman must
necessarily make the proposals OF marriage"
| We are unable to arrive at any reason why she
| should and her so-called discoveries leave us in
| the dark as TO any reasons they may have for
| making such an absurd statement. Some writers
| say that the woman who goes out into the
world TO work loses her modcsty that to take
| position which Decessitates daily business
intercourse with men shows lack of woman
| illness, and such course followed by women
| can only result in the loss of mans respect; or
to cay the least she will lose his admiration.
! This is a statement which / think would be
difficult to prove to the satisfaction of any in
| telligent. unprecedented person.
We all know that the daughter is as likely
to inherit her fathers talent as her mothers.
and most of US are willing to accede that God
| makes no mistakes.
owhen girl displays talent for any particu-
| lar line Of work, it is not only her privilege,
| but her duty to prepare herself for that work,
and 10 is cruel init stice to debar her from
enjoying her rights by saying that the home is
| her sphere.
There is no need to raise the alarm that the
| home will soon be deserted, and that all of the
women are focking to the professions and
| keeping the men out.
There are plenty Of women whose tastes are
domestic, and who have no desire to make
their own living. As for usurping the right
| full positions of men. / really think, if the
men cannot hold their own by superior intel
| ligenee aud better work, it is cowardly to
| bring in the objection that "she's woman"
| IL the new woman" shows us that il is
not only proper but expcdient for woman
TO perform the work for which she has
special talent, and that go doing does not ne
cessiiate her departure from true womanliness,
/ for one say, Welcome to her; long may
