The minated Woman Of To-day
and Yesterday.

Anna Farquhar in "The National Magazine"
Reasonable doubt exists as to wheth-
er or not The latter day feminine indie.
pendence has produced anything finer
In womankind than was known at all
previous periods of human history.
Considered as a wife and mother, there
is small proof of average superiority in
the women of this century over those
of any other century but looked at as
spinsters, as cold maids" women have
developed within the last fifty years an
entirely new and admirable type, owing
to the recently acquired freedom and
extension of female thought and
action.
When men have failed in their mat
rimonial intentions or desires, their
slngleness has born no stigma but the
disgrace ard aroma of worthlessness
surrounding the earlier woman who
failed to enter matrimony were the
mainsprings of her forlorn condition.
Modern revelations now warm the
blood of single females there is no
reason for them to dry up; avenues of
industry are opened wide to them. In
that last statement is embodied the
mcst convincing step toward final de-
yelopment democracy has ever made.
Industry levels humanity; it places all
human life on one platform of equality.
and removes contempt, the deyil's
stillet, from human hands.
