When, years ago, / attended debating club

There is cheap edition costing but - or 10

JUST WORD MORE.
DEAR FRIENDS OF THE LH.W.: Although
silent have been an interested reader of the
many good things in the columns of the dear
old NATIoyAL TRIBUNE, and, for fear that the
subject might grow tiresome ere long, /
thought would sEbmit a few thoughts upon
the much mooied New Woman" and here
they are without paint or polish:
Tie new " woman is not new production,
bat Is woman who has evolved with the times,
refined aud educated for her life-work
she is above gossip. aud when a scandal.
monger comes to her with his choice It'd hit she
politely informs him that be must seek another
market for his wares, she does not deal in
them.
She does not wait until her friend is dead to
speak well Of her, but hrighteps her pathway
with rays Of love and good cheer.
She does not assume mannsh garb in order
that she may win admiration from her male
friends, but dresses sensibly aud rs becomes
her sex.
She is a wheeler" for pleasure and health.
but does not wear "boclers" for the "pgGu
cycling costume is just as smart and bit more
TO her taste.
She is up to date in tho world of books. and
reads nothing but standard magazines and
papers and real works Of merit, growing into
civilized American.
Although solid in perception. she docs not
minglo IN things political as yet, but when the
tine comes for her TO DO she will be prepared
TO carefully adjust affairs governmental; but
only that corruption in politics may be eimi-
mated does she sigh for the ballot.
Her friends do not seek amusement at the
card-;able nor do they drink smart wines, but
they are those who help her, aud who eau be
helped, TO purer life than is ordinarily con-
sldered necessary 10 a consistent Christian life
The truly New Woman" is but woman
continued In our next" and when from
choice or necessity she goes out into the busy
world 10 seek her living she does not forget
who she is, nor that, after creating every other
work, God created hcr-his most nerrect
work-and said, =" IL IS good - so that she
lives as belts her exalted station irving TO fill
her place in the world crcditaby
From some Of the talented writers ! would
like TO rec description of new" man, and
If there is one in existence | feel sure the
girls iH L.H.w. viii turn their faces toward
him and worship him. as the deyout Moslem
turns las face 10 the Mecca Of his pilgrimage,
