Han Game has written a letter to I

Hall Caine has written a letter to a
Sorosis club at C~hiilicothe, Mo-, In
which he gives his views on the woman
question. He says: when one con-
siders what the position Of woman was,
ven in the most civilized countries. as
recently as 100 years ago, and how high
a place she has now won for herself,
not only in the statute books of ma
lions, but In the republic of art, one
cannot but feel that the change Is even
more remarkable than some Of the
great material developments which
have distinguished the century. Speak
ing as n who has seen life in many
countries. I feel hat it is within the
truth to say that the position of wom-
an Is higher In America than in any
other part of the yorld. For this result
American women have, no doubt, to
thank their own natural gifts and great
Independence Of mind, but they have
also. I think, to be grateful to the
splendid chivalry in the American gen.
tlemen."
