army! Imagine any one Of the hum
dred inhumanities and atrocities toward
women which characterize the Spanish
race being duplicated under the rule OF
an Anglo-SaXon nationi Impossible!
No wonder so many frightened refu-
gees look upon the American army as
their deliverance from the hands OF a
brutal and irhumau mob.
The way q nation treats Its women Is
the mark OF It's standing among the
world Of nations, and shows In an In
slant its state Of civilization or Of saw
agery.
THE AMERICAN SENTIMENT
Americans exait their women as the
better part OF the nation, and render
them such true, devoted homage us
wOnlanlSind receives in no other coun-
try in the world.
II Is not mere lIp-service nor the shall
low galCanitry which parad6s itself In
fine phrases and eXtravaganr compile
ments II Is the simple ard sincere
Difference Of genuine manhood towards
the sex which Includes their mothers,
sisters, sweethearts and wives.
How fully do American women appre-
cIate and recIprocate this obvious sem
tIment OF American manhood? 1t Is q
question worth looking into. Do the wo-
men OF our country fully realize the OPP
portunities for happiness and power
which lie within their grasp? II they
should lose large proportion OF the
dueenly heritage so freely accorded and
which rIghtfully belongs to them where
lies the blame; and wherein IS the re-
dress?
HOW IT IS SOMETIMES THWART-
ED.
Many a woman-mony a thousand
women-throughout this land where
womanklnd is loved and reverenced,
lead lives of constant misery and sor-
row. Many a woman feels that her daily
lot Is wretched and unhappy beyond
description. She Is weighted down by a,
crushing burden OF physical weakness
that her husband cannot understand
and for which he does not know now 10
make allowance, simply because he Is O
man.
He forgets-if Indeed he ever realizes
that n woman's entire existence, mem
tai as well as physical, is bound up In
and Identified with the delicate and Inn
portant special organism OF woman
hood. When a woman Is peevlsh, fretful,
nervous, full OF aches, pains and con-
slant mlserIes, he VIII seldom attribute
them to their actual cause.
WHERE THE BLAME LIES.
He will blame woman's temper for
what Is rlghttully due TO condition OF
disease and weakness. He will forget
his LOYALTY and patience: grow careless
az nor feelings, neglectful and even per-
haps unkind. What should be the de-
light and comfort OF domestic life Is
embittered and sometimes almost de-
stroved through mutual Ignorance OF
the great fundamental facts which con-
troll and color the womnn's physical life.

confidence and frank understanding be-
tween husbands and wives. and between
