Do Women Hate Womenf

1t is probably safe to say there is a
not like women; that they are less kindly
disposed toward their sex than they are to-
wards men, or than men are towards them;
that they are ever ready to help a man
up and TO push a woman down. 1t has
been asserted, even, that women hate wo-
men. "How you women snub each otherw
may frequently be heard, spoken by a
man. Is there good ground for saying wo-
men dislike women, not to put it more
harshly?
1t may be that the joker has had a good
deal to do with fixing the impression that
women do not like each other. Wit and
humor are powerful moulders of public
sentiment. Away back in prehistoric ages,
probably, joke was evolved touching
upon woman's spitefulness toward her sis
ters. From that time until the present
the funny men have rung the changes
upon that alleged characteristic of the
sex. No humorous paper of the day can
be called wholly complete If it has not a
joke turning upon two women rushing into
each others arms and kissing ecstatically,
and then saying mean things about each
other as soon as possible after having sep
arated. The professional humorist has in
his stock of joke bases nothing that he
uses oftener than womans supposed an
tipathy to women. The funny paragraphs
purporting to quote one womans remarks
about anothers bonnet, or dress, or age,
or angularity. or adiposity, or the like
are too well known to need to be more
than referred to.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton and sew
eral other prominent women reformers
were asked recently If women hated wo-
men. and If so why. Without exception
they denied that there was any such feel
ing. or any good ground for saying there
was. They pointed to their lives work
for women as exemplifying how they feel
with regard to the matter. and, on the
other hand, to the splendid tributes that
have been paid to them by women. show
ing appreciation Of the services rendered.
There are certain requirements exactod
of women by our social customs which
often force them to steel their hearts
against others Of their sex. They are
made sometimes cynical and oxacting, and
possibly cruel, by precepts instilled into
their minds generation after generation.
Then there Is I'm human nature a quality
called jealousy. and another called envy.
That person who has neither OF these Is
superhuman. They can be brought under
subjugation, 70 q degree But it is seldom
II ever that they can be wholly master
ed. In individual cases these qualities. or
passions, come to the front. At such times
unkind things are said or done. Whether
such things are done oftencr by women
than by men is a question. But It seems
that there should be no question with re-
gard to the fact that deep down IN the
heart Of the infinite majority OF mankind
without distinction between the sexes.
there Is an abiding love Of humanity, in
All the term implies.

A Town Without syyeethearts.

Scientists say that the process of evolu-
ton of the earth is towards the leveling
of all inequalities, so that one of these
days, probably some hundreds of millions
of years hence, there will remain neither
hills nor valleys, but the earth will be one
great, smooth globe with unbroken sur
face. They say also that the social evolu-
ton is progressing towards a similar end,
when there will be equality everywhere;
when the rough places which cause people
to fall down now shall have disappeared
and the sexes will be distributed in even
proportion, from Massachusetts to the
Friendly Islands of the Pacific. In those
days, whenever they come, Massachusetts
spinsters and the bellies of the Friendly
Islands will not need to hustle for hus-
bands, and the boys" in the mining
camps will not need to import wives;
mates will be at hand for all. According
to the ideal view of the eternal fitness of
things, the equal distribution of the sexes
is a contamination to be wished, and
should assist materially in bringing about
a state of contentment, if not positive
happiness.
whether the theory would work out is
an open question. Persons interested in
that line of investigation. however, have
an opportunity to study the possibilities.
For it transpires that there is in Ken
lucky a town in which the sexes were so
evenly balanced and the temperaments of
the individuals so admirably suited to
each other that the young men and young
women have all got married, and there is
not an unmarried man or an unmarried
woman in the municipality! The town
Brookstown-is not large. to be sure But
is there another town, or village, in the
United States, large or small, which has
neither unmarried man nor woman in it?
1t may be doubted that there is 1t is re-
ported that half a dozen weddings during
the Christmas holidays cleared the Brooks
town lists of marriageable persons.
Brookstown thereupon became unique
among American municipalities. But it
may be doubted that the fortunes of the
place have been greatly enhanced 1t may
be that Brookstown has become a Para
disc of connubial felicity; and then again
Il may be otherwise. It can hardly be as
attractive place as It once was. Imagine
town without young ladies! What
drummer would care to stop there over
Sunday and help "the house" keep down
the profits? Could life in such a place be
extremely happy? Is any society COM
plete without its sweethearts, and beaux
and singing classes, and candy pullings
or their more swell equivalents? indeed
it seems that Brookstown has precipitated
social problem. turning upon the query
if it would. after all, be to the happiness
Of the human race if the sexes were so
evenly distributed that conditions similar

a scene at Court.

The English papers are telling an anus
ing story about Lord Darlington. to the
effect that at the last drawing room held
by the queen he, in announcing the names
Of the ladies' present, according to his du-
~ as lord chamberlain, got mixed" and
announced a certain Mrs. M. as Lady
NJ" Thereupon the queen bent forward
to greet her with the kiss on the cheek
that Is always given TO wives and daugh-
ters of peers. AS she bent, Lord Caring
ton found out his mistake, turned eX-
tremey pale and gasped out: Don't kiss
her. ma'am, don't kiss her; she's not a
Lady at air.

A. to Currency Commissions.
From the Chicago Times-Herald und.

The Times-Herald believes that the
speediest and most practical way to bring
about the reforms demanded by this con-
.yention Is through congressional COM
mittee composed, not of outsiders, but Of
senators and representatives. That COM
mittee n appointed at the extra session,
could prepare a report and a bill by the
opening OF the regular winter session, and
the subject could then have the right Of
way until disposed OF. BY this method
currency reform might be made an ac-
compllshed fact early in next year. A
commission Of non-partisans and nom
members OF congress would postpone IL
several years, perhaps forever.

From the Chicago Record Qnd.)

This general arbitration treaty meets

Of inestlmable value to the business world
in giving assurance OF immunity from

politics with this matter by allowing 1t to
go over until another administration

curled marteauX (hammers)." And then
the comment of the volunteer and much
too previous outsider: "A recent book
of travels gives the following account of
the negresses in the interior of Africa.
The women are satisfied with little cloth
ing, but they bestow much care on the
decoration of their heads. Their woollv
