sink abashed before those great dark orbs
Of her own. Don't imagine by this that |
she is stiff and awkward-indeed, no, for |
back OF the still look in those dark eyes
is q merry glance kept for the benefit OF
her friends. These two are the most
beautiful women at Long Branch.
Long Branch more than any OF the
other places is woman ridden. A great
many of the men are away all day, ana
the little village and the various drives
belong to the women and children. IL
makes ME wonder if people notice that
woman is swinging in circle. Years
ago she deplored the fact that she was
only asked to be lovable, to be good
hammered and to allow herself to be
taken care of. She is now having taste
of the other Size of it. She is trying to be
businesslike, and she loses her temper.
She is trying to be impersonal, and she
breaks down and cries. She is trying to
be hybrid, and between you and me. my
friend, she is making bit of fool OF
herself. However, the circle will swing
around, and she will come back re-
pentant and better woman. To me
there is nothing SO fine as gentle
woman, hut she is the result of the same
good breeding that is necessary TO make
thoroughbred horses, and if you take the
trouble to look at it you will find that the
women who are clamoring to be called
Women with capital w are the first OF
their kind. They are strong in muscle
and in brain, and in another generation
they will have the edges rubbed oil by
the pumice stone of society, for not one
of these women wants her daughter to be
what she is.
The most finished actress / know
doesn't want her daughter to go on the
stage. The best public speaker l have
ever heard preferred that her daughter
should marry young and have happy
home. The Women with capital w
are the cause. The right kind of women
are the effect, because she is OF the capi-
tai w is quite clever enough to see her
own mistakes and to bang aud FURNISH
them out of her daughter. The woman
with daughter shows her greatest am
bition by bringing out in that daughter
| the desire of her heart. She wishes her
to dress quietly, speak quietly, look well,
gain the love of good man and have
| the joy of being the mother of a dear
little child. AS the years go by the
Woman with capital w finds the
daughters home resting place. She
doesn't know just why, because the chill
dren are making hoIse with their toys
while the little mistress of the manse
sings as she sweeps and dusts and does
not give thought to the last new book
on some erotic and disagreeable topic,
but there is rest in that home not to be
found in the stiffness of the house 10
which the Woman with capital w
lives. Hers Is house. Her daughter has
home. The letters are almost the same,
but the spirit is quite different. ] have
often heard of famous woman writei
who was discovered playing horse with
two small grandsons and who said she
didn't know when her brain had been 81
thoroughly cleared out and her ideas Sc
freshened.
