WOMEN WISH THEMSELVES MEN

WOMEN WISH TE EMSELVES MEN
What They Lack the Very Quality That
Men Possess.
Every woman, ! suppose, has mo-
ments when she wishes herself a man.
This aspiration has nothing to do with
admiration of man in the abstract or
even in the concrete; it occurs, indeed,
paradoXically enough, more frequently
in ambitious or strong minded women
who are little bit inclined to despise
his majesty, or at least to ]eny his
right to the pre-eminerce VIII ch their
sisters have accorded him. says the
Philadelphia Times. 1t is not any ex-
clusively masculine privilege that we
covet. No, when one of us longs to dis
own her sex it only means that for the
time being she can't get her own way.
Now, of course, this inability to get
our own way is one OF our best-loved
and most paraded grievances. We
make a great deal too much of it, in
fact Often we grid at fate when we
ought merely to blame our own weak
ness. OF course, there exist individual
nature; but, broadly speaking, most in
stances of feminine discomfort with
!ife come under few simple headings.
We cannot do what we please with
our lives because of circumstances of
birth or marriage. Well in the first
case, the obstacle is either one which
would have hampered man in like
degree, or it is one which time will re-
move; in the second case, marriage is
an act of personal choice, by the con-
sequences of which a man must abide
Just as must woman. And when
these two sources OF rebellion have
been dismissed it will be found that
almost all the other multifarious
causes have their root in weakness of
will. There are very few things now
adays that man can do that we can
not. But, unfortunately, we lack the
one characteristic which has enabled
him to do SO much-strength OF pur-
pose. We rather want this and we sigh
for that; but we let ourselves be turned
aside by breath of encouragement.
We ask everybody's advice, grumble
at 1t, follow 1t and spend the rest Of
saying: ''lf I had only done what l
wanted to dol" A man goes and does
what he wants. If he succeeds, well;
If he fails, he has the satisfaction of
having no one but himself to blame
For the most part. he does not fail, for
Individual impulse is often the best
guide as to capabilities. 1 am not a
new woman or a revolving daughter;
but l do not believe in submitting
tamely to any and every circumstance
and in cutting down ones individual
ity to suit the prejudices of others.
There is nothing to be said against the
choice of women who voluntarily sac
rifice themselves for others sake. They
do 1t with open eyes, counting the cost,
and they have their reward. But no
one can either pity or respect
creature who goes to the wall on hee
own feet and then stands lamenting.
