tics, in ethics or the everyday conduct of
life. They who have the library In charge
have not teen convinced by anything
that has yet been said or written, that
the supplying the library with its fair
proportion of fiction, duly selected, will
their aim On the contrary, fiction has
its place in the accomplishment of that
aim. For fiction, while not in itself ac-
tual fact, Il, nevertheless, In the hand.
OF its truer masters, careful study and
copy Of the more significant facts OF life,
and is::thus often better suitedsthan ac-
tual fact to be the means by which the
deepest truths, the innermost realities OF
human life and human nature, can be-
displayed and illustrated, for warning or
example, and so for the most vital instruc-
tion of those who read 1t.
But not to conclude in too high
strain, books are often read, not so much
for the instruction, as for the recreation
or pleasure which they afford. Minds are
not al Ways fitted for the graver studies.
They are often tired out with the tolls
and worries OF lie, and not only crave,
but absolutely need, relaxation. In this
state many seek 1t in society, the theater,
the club or the saloon. But these sources
OF relaxation are not open TO all, at all
timss and in all circumstances. When
the writer was once talking with rela-
tive, who lives In the country about
novel reading in terms that were not en-
tirely commendatory, she replied with
some warmth that the novel was her So
ciety. And SO doubtless In the city, for
many hard working man or woman,
youth or maiden, 1t is a highly priced
substitute for the society which they
would very much like to fro tquent, but cam
not. And who snail presume to say that,
in the page of the novel, thev do not o.
ten make acquaintance with characters
wnon, 1t is an education as we'll as de-
light for them to know, or become famil-
lar with sentiments, which both elevate
their minds and help them to bear the
trials and temptations that encompass
them. II is not right, so inconsider-
ately to censure the public library, be-
cause, along with other books, 1t fur
nishes works of fiction OF the better sort

Tide Turning Against the Women's
"Enlarged PRIVILEGES Movement


In the May Ladies' home Journal, Ed
ward w. Box edtorially discusses Mrs.
Julia Ward Howe's recent utterances in
regard TO existing social conditions, or,
more definitely stated, TO the effects
upon society of womaD's exercise of SEN
lsrged privileges. - Mrs. Howe comedies
that the manners Of polite society today
are not quite SO polite as tney were in
her youth, that young women are losing
lii tone and culture and dignity, and
young men in esteem and Difference for
women, with the result OF general cheap
-and-easy standard of manners. Not
withstaDding this damage to society Mrs.
Howe believes that superior externel
benefits have accrued; that women are
leading nobler aud better lives and fill
ing larger places. Mr.. Box assents to
Mrs. Howe's first proposition but radi
cally dissents from her conclusions. "*
The fact Is" he says, "that women of
every mind gre on all sides beginning to
reckon the cost of this movement for the
extension of their 'priviIeges.( Even
those who were strong adherents in the
faith at the beginning are showing
signs of an abatement OF enthusiasm. 1t
Is not alone in the. circles of fashions that
the poisonous arrows OF woman's 'en-
larged sphere have entered, but in every
grade and walk of our social life. And,
in each instance, absolute damage has
been done.
"We need not go so far as to say that
rs men and women we are deteriorating,
or that the social structure Is in any dan
ger OF collapse. Ii Is not so bad as that.
But II is bad enough. New ideas have
been interjected into our lives, and they
have.brought forth new conditions.
A new sense of self-relianse has been
imbibed by women. And what is the
resultY Men have tacity inferred that
women scorn the sort of consideration
which at one time they felt was their
tribute to womanhood. Naturally, polite
ness has become lax, the grace of homage
Is often forgotten. Happily, however, a
quiet revulsion of feeling on this ques-
tion of the sexes has slowly become
noticeable, and the opinion is general
that there has come distinct turn in the
tide.
Fortunately. we have not outlived the
possibility of speedy and healthy re-
turn to that hslcyon condition OF things
when the SURPRISING charm of civilization
was the Difference paid by men to o men,
Then the woman was the superior of the
man. For a time nov she has descended
to be his equal. And so let us hope that
she soon will be again upon her old
pedestal. In the minds OF clear-tbinking
men she has always been there. -

varied dramatic feast as is being offered
by the Sawtelle Dramatic Company and
Imperial Band and Orchestra for their
engagement now drawing to a close.
Certainly no repertory company, how

the sAwTELLE Company, with its Inn

midnight Call, "Rosedale, Thrown
Upon the worlc," sMichael Strogon."
"True as Steei,F' and Faust" have al
ready been presented we suppose they
have for they were announced we haven't
been down there to prove IT'D, "The
Buckeye" is the bill for this afternoon,
"Streets OF New York." for tonight and
"Little Wildcat, " and" PASSIONS Flame, :"
for tomorrow afternoon and evening-the
closing performances. Talk about a festi-

sources OF this town that the railroads
did. not arrange excursion rates to River
Point for the current week.
