FAIRNESS TO WOMEN.

We have heard overmuch of late or
the fact that women have never become
artists or poets or creators of the very
highest order, Judged by the male
standard. The insinuation is unfair be-
cause biased. Women have never had a
real chance to equal men and TO argue
that because they have never attained
the level of a Shakespeare or a Raphael
therefore they are inferior TO men gen.
orally is to condemn them because they
do not rise superior to the average man.
How often have men produced a Shake.
speare or a Raphael? And men have
had the start of centuries.
Take England only. have not two OF
the greatest, IL not the two greatest OF
her sovereigns been women? How
many men novelists are on a par with
George Eliot? Have not certain women
shown their ability to hold their own
in scholarship with men In these days?
The average man is not the intellectual
equal OF a Miss Fawcett
The real handicaps women suffer are
domestic. They have to keep the home
beautiful while their husbands are
striving after those triumphs which
may mean immortality. There is one
thing at any rate that the progress OF
women has proved, and that is that the
larger the voice women have in affairs
the higher are the moral ideals enter
tanned by the community.

a professional tool-generally half
witted person, who makes a living in
this way-to marry her and divorce her
next day. The reason of this is that a
man may not take back his divorced

Neither faction would yield an inch.
Then there was a third party that APP

troubles of their own In the shape of

So the Hannah Mores met once more.

Dresses slightly Tucked.

The dresses themselves are slightly
tucked affairs, the white one trimmed
with pure white lace and the green one
with brown Arabian lace With the white
gown Polly wears a small hat made of
white roses with a big, crumpled bow
and ends of louisine ribbon. When
the hat matches the dress, you cannot
imagine how charming the all white
costume is. Now. why can't some clev-
er girl get two dresses at a slight cost
by giving the dressmaker the two
waists and the single white silk slip TO
make and by evolving the yelling skirts
during her spare hours at home?
Slip skirts are very easy TO make. and
yelling is so soft and sheer IL falls OF its
own accord into graceful folds. But let
me give you a hint about the skirts
make them long enough. Not one wo-
man i'm ten wears her skirts of a grace
ful and stylish length. 1t is not sufii-
cient to have a long train behind: the
skirt in front should lie little on the
ground so that no space whatever can
be seen between the lower edge and the
ground. You have no idea what a diff
ference in persons height an extra
inch in front can appear to make.
