How easily have you been swindled in

The dry goods clerks say that women
who are too poor to buy new clothes al

them.
The smart men have discovered that con-
sumption follows the corset much in the
same manner that the cocktail follows the

she never. had time to get new set Of

We are old fashioned enough to think
that a card bearing these words: It's paid

a Feminized Newgpaper.

ROSt-DlSpatcn.
The daily newspaper which DR. Fran
ces Dickinson. backed by 10000 clue
women, proposes to start in Chicago
viii be of the feminine gender From
the editorial rooms to the office boys
nook it viii be manned gy women.
1t won't pay, it won't circulate, its in
huence viii be zero.
No man of experience would think OF
conducting a newspaper on the single
standard basis. A newspaper in which
there were no women writer's would be
a hopeless failure from the start. Men
and women must cooperate to make a
newspaper. Just how the work is to be
distributed between the two is not yet
determined but success depends upon
the employment of both. 1t follows that
a feminized newspaper is just as impos-
sible as one exclusively masculine.
Women desiring independence and
equality can find it in cooperation with
men, but never in isolation The work
of the world is human and belongs to
both sexes, each assuming the special
responsibilities indicated by nature
What those special responsibilities may
be will be ascertained in the course OF
growth end experience.
