4 Land where Woman Is Not the
GentIer Sex.

Y
GentIer Sex.
4 great deal has been said and felt
about the women of the lower classes
working in the fields. and of the hard
manual labor they are called to per
form In the light of the ideas that
women should be delicate and refined
physically. doubtless the broad backs,
hard muscles and heavy, knotted frames
Of peasants we see appear discordant
and ,lnspemlv. Fisher women at Dieppe
or Whitby, we know, and alongshore
everywhere hold their own against
town councils when they dictate the
policy of town governments. In mo-
ments of danger, when the signal gun
summons the populace to scenes OF dan
ger, then these women, the wives ana
mothers of the fishermen, man the life
boats and breast the waves, going TO the
rescue of their relatives in distress.
Yet these fierce, strong women scarcely
fiji the modern idea of what woman
hood should be.
Now, however, very recently, when II
* the fad that women should be ath-
letic, broad-shouldered and deep-lunged,
to say nothing OF the wider education or
our highbred and healthy modern girls
the question arises among the observ-
ant. why working in fields or carrying
burdens is, after all, such hardshI p
and degradation TO the peasant woman
more than to the peasant man. Too
much labor and great toll doubtless
break down and age both sexes.
