the readers believe In her. There has
lengths and breadths in her talk, and
the woman who goes to lengths and
breadths in her behavior; and undoubt-
edly now there Is q tendency to free
women from the control of mere con-
vention moro and more, which Is a very
good thing. Men have to let them ask
why men may do certain wrong things
and women may not. but apparently
they do not abuse this right to go and
do the wrong things because men have
no good answer to make. So much of
new womanhood as this seems to be In
the air. and the air Is all the fresher
and purer for 1t, but If any one will OBJ
serve the facts, will he find more than
this? The new woman Is the type of
woman whom fictive art is just now
dealing with, because she amuses and
because she is easier to do than the
woman with less salient characteris-
ties. We notice her In life because We
have found her in books, and because
we have begun to notice her in life she
abounds in books more and more and
again more in life. One cannot say just
how such things originate or how they
will end. An artist draws a succession
of charming pictures from some tall,
slender girl; the tall, slender girl seems
to step from them into the street, and
then you can get nothing but tall,
slender girls in any of the illustrations.
Nature and art seem to play into each
others hands, and by and by they seem
to get tired of this plaything or that,
and suddenly dropit. Perhaps in time-in
q very short time-the new woman will
be flung out on the dust heap with her
clothes in tatters, her nose broken, an
eye gone, an arm pulled out and the
sawdust oozing from every PORE"
