that those faculties could be trained
and organized in the same way as the
intellects of the so-called superior sex
Then, when certain feminine addenda
appeared in connection with the class
lists at the Universities, and women be-
gan to make their mark in the world,
they shifted their ground and said
that even if the New Woman was true,
she was not new. 1t was a contradic-
ton of terms. of course, and spoiled
their own epithet; but that did not
matter. The New Woman was not
new, but old; two centuries old at
least.
Quite recently, an English newspa-
per, started on its quest of the proto-
plastic New Woman. Who was the
germ? They answered their own ques-
ton by fixing on Mary Astell, who, in
1894, published "A Serious Proposal to
the Ladies', and followed this up. in
1897, with "a Defence of the Ladies. "
Her chief aim. added this authority,
was the establishment of a college for
women, and in this she was supported
by Lady Elizabeth Hastings. whose
support took the substantial and salts
factory form of a 10000 donation.
Such authorities hold that this truly
regal contribution was actually offered
by the Queen herself; but the project
was stopped by Bishop Atterbury, and
the reason for his interference serves
at once to show the difference between
Mary Astell's proposed college and
those which have become accomplished
facts in the present day. 1t was. in
deed. good deal more like an ortho-
dox nunnery than a Ladies' College.
as we understand the latter term: and
1t was on account of its papistical ten
dency that the idea was opposed by
Bishop Atterbury. Indeed Mary her
self went long way towards
Owing the Soft Impeachment.
Her college was confessedly designed
for those ladies who preferred retire
ment and study to the noise and hurry
OF the world. You can call Il mon
