the ocean. Now the women down our
way are beginning to combine the char

the sentiment?

Warming up. perchance under the in
spiration Of the drink. this chivalrous
editor continued: when old occupa-
tions OF women passed away. they sud
denly found that they had either to sit
idle at home or seek work outside the
kitchen. nursery. or sewing room. Now
they find that the held Il widening. and
that many OF them can do things that
their mothers and grandmother would
not have dreamed Of. And these new
women as they are called. whose minds
are developed on all sides and whose
bodies are clothed according to the re-
Quirements OF health and comfort. are

young woman, plainly, comfortably.
