WOMAN IN
THE MOON
Look for Her in Full Moon
Sunday Night.

A woman has at last been discovered
in the moon, and the question is. has
she always been there, and VIE, blind in
our belief thatwomans only true sphere
was the home. that she must not make
herself conspicuous on any occasion.
have refused to see her, or has the agi-
tation Of the "woman question" on
earth just cast n reflection on this
heavenly body?
Then, too, it may be that the moon
IS passing through some such siege as
the earth, and that woman has lust
assumed her rightful and equal station
there as she is doing here. Perhaps
within the past few years womanin her
magnificent struggle for equal rights
and justice, her splendid ideals and
nigh aspirations in aiming at the stars
has reached the first station in her
stellar flight, the moon.
Again, it might be accounted for in
this way: That wherever we go today,
IN whichever direction we turn, we are
confronted by woman. BE it in store
Office, shop, schoOlroom, street, or even
home, there stands women, and this
image is so impressed on the retina OF
the eye, that we see her again in the
moon. A mild kind OF deliriumtre.

Look in the lower right hand quarter
OF the moon. The dark lines that form
the mans mouth are the outlines OF the
woman's bust and neck. The dark line
which we call the mans nose outlines
the womans face, and the mans right

of beauty in the skies.
The man who discovered her-we as

in history. He teaches us several
lessons.
First he points out the world this
beautiful face and every work of ant

1t shows us, too, how blind we are
to our surroundings, how we look at
things but see them not. 1t is com

what they look for, whether it be the
good or the bad. And in the same way

The man who discovered the woman
IN the moon undoubtedly reasoned tina

must be woman there. Go you Sun
