One of the rarest stamps ever put up for auc-

Why WOMEN ARE NOT ESSAYISTS
WHAT ONE WOMAN SAYS ABOUT IT.
Edith Dickson, in The Dial.

Edith Dickson, in The Dial
It is only when in self-forgetfulness, one says
straight out what he genuinely thinks and feels
that he becomes personally interesting. his
women never do, and apparently cannot do.
They do not seem to know how to let go Of
themselves and either practise severe self-re-
preston else they attitudinZe. hecom"
unduly confidential and familiar with their
public.
Probably another reason why the short, bright
essay, dealing cleverly with men and things,
patfbty between the feminine temperament
and the tone of the essay. Women are by nat
partisans They take themselves and their
views too seriously to handle a subject with
humor and impartalty. The attitude Of the
disinterested spectator is impossible to the eek.
Rarely do we find woman who is both keen
and tolerant observer of life. In fact, the
knowledge of life which constitutes the recog-
nized background of the essayist is wanting In
women. They may, through social settlements
and charity organizations, come to know how
the other half lives but that is quite a differ
ent thing from knowledge of life.
The lack of literary style among women
writers, which would hinder compiler of
book of model prose extracts for analysis frcrn
making a selection from the work of any
toned If the style is the man. individuality in
style cannot be separated from individuality
in thought. Women frequently fluent, easy
and graceful in expression, but they seldom
attain distinguishing any more than dstn-
guished style. When they attempt to be serious
profound, they usually labored when,
they become fippant and diffuse. The easy con-
yersational tone degenerates with them into
triviaity, through lack Of being subjected to the
rigid control of good taste.
Undoubtedly a choice diction and fine liter
