The South African republics were

The people arc not stupid, uncivilizcd,

DIR. BENJAMIN DE COSTA.
The Noted Convert who Appears II the
LYceum Theatre.

DR.. De Costa, the Episcopal clergy
man who recently became Catholic,
and who is going to tell Minneapolis
audience on Tuesday evening, March
10, at the Lyceum, why he did so, made
the following comments on Cardinal
Gibbons sermon on "The Christian
Woman" in the New York World:
The cardinal seems to have in mind
two classes-the so-called society lead
er and the professional advocate OF
"womans rights" Society will always
need leaders and women will need
rights, but leadership is often credited
to the wrong person, while agitators
make no advocates.
Really, what is society? Milton in
one place speaks of "solitudc' as the
best society,"" This definition would
not suit those described by the cardinal
as OF the giddy, family destroying class.
never at home except when abroad.
Thackeray's definition OF society, as
composed Of those who do not cat
peas with knife" better describes the
women OF the cardinals sermon. who
are never at peace unless in perpetual
motion" When we really come to un-
dcrstand what constitutes society and
woman's rights we shall be on the way
toward a true estimate OF those who
now claim leadership and advocacy. A
tombstone is needed for popular use.
One perhaps reads all this easily
enough between the lines OF the cardi-
nails bold, trcncfant discourse, which
should transfer to the faces of many
Amcrican-or rather n-Amcrcan-wo-
men tint comparable to that of his
own hat. 1t is about time for new
and revised edition Of the dictionary
entitled "Who Is Who?" Then many
a brazcn woman with a not over-mcli-
fluous tongue would take with shame
the low place to which she is entitled
among those whose real society claim
is based upon the fact that they do not
cat peas with knife" The names OF
the real leaders of society are not al,
ways found in the society column, while
all Of the best and truest advocates oil
woman's rights are not in the public
eye.
1t is true that women have just
claim to their measure OF influence il
public affairs and in shaping laws thai
are to govern their own property anc
conduct, yet the woman who cxerts tho
most salutary influence in social circles
is the true leader, and the woman who
in the most gentle manner shows Other
women how to use actual privileges anG
responsibilities is the best advocate o.
womans rights.
1t would help us to remember, ever
though some women may excel in medi-
cal and kindred studies, that law and
politics should be the last refuge of tho
woman who does not come i'll sight o.
home AS a class women were moi
designed to. be bread winners, and the
pushing of unproductive female labor
or the market does not tend to the ele
walton Of woman, whose noblcst posi-
ton is found in the family circle. 1t i:
the business OF men to fight the battle
and win the bread.
The highest and noblest right a wo
man can aspire TO is a holy home.
