CRUSHED BY HER CROWN.

The great Book of Martyrs" has neve
been written. FOx's famous work deals
noly with the ~martyrdom Of the body.
When the real book Of martyrs is written
1t wild deal with the mental martyrdom
of the woman who suffered in silence
because modesty would not let her put
into speech the questions that burned in
her heart.
Modesty is the crown of Maidenhood
and Motherhood, and yet there have been
literally millions of women crushed to
death by that crown-that shining SYM
biol of woman's sovereignty in the home.
Here is
standing with reluctant feet
Where womanhood and girlhood
mtee."
In the first critical period of her life
she begins to experience suffering which
she necessarily connects with the organs
OF sex. What it is she does not know.
Why it Is she does not understand.
She needs medical advice. But she
shrinks from it. Her modesty is UP in
arms at the thought of questions to be
asked, of examinations to be submitted
TO. bot halike ~repugnant 10 delicacy.
So h suffers in silence. The strain
on the delicate machinery OF her organ
ism becomes mare severe. Painful ir-
Irregularities become vet more painful.
And 50, silently. she treads the painful
path to confirmed invalidism. Her crown
of modesty becomes a crown of thOrns.
She sees the glowing lamp light of cheer
full homes. She hears the cOoing of the
happy babe, the pratle Of joyous child
rem. and she fears that all that life Of
home and love is not for her.
Or a the other typical case Of the
woman who has entered on the cares and
DUTIES OF WIFEHOOD
She has always been healthy and hap
py. But now Q change comes. Her
eye loses its brightness. Her step loses
cheek. Frequently she is Compelled to
lie down and rest. She is in constant
pain. She looks dreadingly down the
burden Of motherhood will be laid upon
her. She, TOGO, needs help. But she too
suffers silently, because she cannot
speak and open the door to such ques-
tions or such examinations as her mo-
desty revolts at. And yet all this suf-
fering is, as has been said, unnecessary,
because to match modesty Of speech
.!..ere is modesty of hearing.
