VERY MUCH LIKE EVE
Josephine Dodge DnsISam Says That
of the Girls of To-day.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.


From the Philadelphia Ledger.
New York, Dec. 22.--Miss Josephine
Dodge Daskam. the authoress, aston
ished the members OF the Pilgrim
Mothers Society this afternoon, when
she expressed her views on THE Girls
of the Future
THE young girl of the future" she
said, II hope may find no greater re-
sponsibilities, no wider paths, no more
difficulties than the girl of the present
has. Many women who are most val
1antly anxious to gain their rights have
always forgotten one thing--that the
party of the first part, our brothers,
are To-day where they were in the pe-
ginning, they have always had the
same advantages, the same RESPONSE
bilities, the same difficulties, and fort
unately, they have the training to meet
them. The girl has all of these things
and 1853 extra tasks. And her back
Is no stronger and her shoulders are
just as small as they ever were. | do
not think there is much difference be-
tween the girl of to-day and Eve.
The girl of the future will be def
nitely obliged to choose between her
ever present privileges and her rights.
And, II anybody were to ask me,
would advise her to hang on to her
privileges and let her rights co.
The silence that followed that re-
mark was relieved by the laughter
caused by Miss Daskams next remark,
that III you can't get your vote, you
can always get your voter, and you
can influence him in his vote
Two things, Miss Daskam said, she
regarded as absolutely necessary In an
entirely satisfactory girl, and these
things, she said, were precisely the
same in the furthest island of the Pa
cific and in a High School in Massa-
chusetts. These were that the girl
must be good and she must be charm
ing.
Miss Daskam, because of an engage
ment, was obliged to leave as soon as
she had finished speaking. Mrs. Lille
Deveraux Blake, president of the New
York Legislative League, who presid-
ed, said
THE speaker is a successful writer.
as you all know, and she gets the same
for her books as men do. If she were

she would think differently"
