1.-THE Old Wheel and the New"
(spinning. it is said, has lately become a
craze in smart feminine circles and les
sons in the homely art are qu;sa the rage
across the seas)
Oh, can it be that hiking
Is no longer to their liking;
That a craze for change of pastime
They so suddenly reveal?
Or is il the attraction
OF the force of sheer reaction,
That has caused this revolution
OF the fashionable wheel?
Whether or not the spinning wheel will
come into much popularity It is fact that
a great effort is being made to bring about
return of feminine occupations and there
is a revolt against the New Woman and
her ways. Partisan modstes are said to
be at the bottom of it in thei r desire to
repeat history and bring back the hoop
skirt. This would necessarily put stop
to all out-of-door sports for women, but
such retrogresslon would seem impossi-
bic. Fashion, however, is a mighty power,
and there would be the backing of those
men who cling to the idea that woman's
sphere lies only in being domestic, and that
her attractions cease when she even ap-
proaches the masculine. One man ex-
pressed the whole sentiment when answer
ing the toast TO the New Woman. Rails
ing his glass, he simply said: To Woman
-, once our superior, now our equal"
