SHE SAYS THEIR TEMPERANCE is INTEMPER-

CONTENT WITH SLOW REFORMS
"A certain prevailing discomfort IN women and
the change in the feminine ideal prove that the
new woman is reality" said Mrs. Margaret
Deland. Of Boston. in an address before the Fort
nightly Club, OF Keene. y H. recently. Mrs. De-
lands subject THE New Woman; or The
Change in the Feminine Ideals"
Even the most satisfied woman must at least
look out and the discomfort OF her neighbours
daughter" she said. Eager. tired not often
happy. almost always disagreeable is the young
woman Of to-day. Why cannot this restless young
woman be satisfied with those conditions that
satisfied her mother? II seems 70 me that this dis
content lie due largely TO the extraordinary re-
spouse to the opportunities OF the higher educa-
ton. 1t means growth. but growth and enlarge
ment OF view almosI always mean pain II is an
evolution from the idea that love making and
marriage are the sole end and aim Of women to
that OF higher culture and usefulness
But this restlessness proclams a change In the
feminine ideal. chiefly caused by the evolution in
women Of the sense OF individuality and Of that Of
social responsibility OF course. none OF expect
to be as good as were our mothers But they , we're

ualism. But. however much We may applaud the

The woman Is DESTROYS OF legislatinR down
evils offhand. from individual motives. thus con-
fuslng the social and the lndvidualstlc ideas. the
thousand years Of the Lord We put into one day,
we must hasten everything. We are not content
with slow reforms. The woman's temperance
is intemperatei The woman cannot wait
There seems TO be vast amount Of arrogance in
our hurryng desire to create reforms. ] suppose
this plea for time Is really plea for law. and that
Is statement OF belief in God. Take courage
10 wait; take courage TO 60 forward II seems 10
me that these two principles OF individualsm and
the sense OF social responsibility are the work
ing hands Of central heart, and that heart is
duty. Oh! do try let little more largely.
a little widely! Don't think that God Is to be
hindered because We are slow, or pushed on be-
cause in q hurry.
