Failures OF Women. .
The New Woman Defended by a
Bright Member of Her Sex.

/ do get so tired of the way in
which the talk of woman's vocation,
her weakness and her shortcomings
generally fill the air. Pick up a
paper when you will and you're
sure to find little sermon of some
kind in there-a few pointers to the
ladies-telling US how to shape our
lives in order that we may be fit
mates for man, who is, of course,
pure and undefled and doesn't
need any shaping or touching up
of any sort. A woman must rule
the household, care for the children,
be beautiful and amiable whenever
you are home, whether she feels
like it or not and ever ready to
smooth out her husbands temper
should it be in dark brown state.
What have you to say then of her
weakness? | think she is the
stronger of the two.
Upon picking up a great metro
politan daily recently the first thing
that caught my eye was heavy
CD editorial on the failures of
women. The writer Che was either
a cub reporter or an amateur
Journalistic informed a waiting
world that an attempt is being
made abroad to prove that women
never really accomplish much and
that the creature referred to just
now in all the papers as the new
girl is all skirts, hairpins and
gush."
Now, the man who wrote that
evidently hates himself. l know a
few ofthat type personally and they
always take their spite out on the
women. We don't care a CONT
mental whether folks abroad think
we've accomplished anything or
not. We're so far ahead of them
that they have TO look through
telescope to see us going, and that's
where the shoe pinches.
And as for the new girl being
gushy, she isn't anything of the
sort. She is modest and dignifed,
fearless, yet tender, self-reliant, yet
never aggressive. She is we'll groom
ed and dressed, unconsciousIy ex-
pressing her harmony of thought in
harmony of appearance. She is
the newest growth of new coun-
try. an exponent of the freshest
and strongest civilization in exist
ence. She may be so honest that
some people call her unconventional.
But she is never annoyed by petty
jealouSies and small shams. his
is my opinion of the "new girl"
whom the journalist speaks of as
''all hair pins, skirts and gush.7 If
| thought he'd go out of the bus
mess, I'd send him a marked copy |
Of this paper.-Dolly Warden in
San Antonio Express.
