MUST HAVE MEN.
Monday Club at ST. Louis Discuss Hus.
band Question.

St Louis, March 17.-"Does womans
highest development depend upon man s
infiuence?" is a question being discussed
by the Monday club of Webster Groves.
The ladies of the club have viewed the
subject from every standpoint with and
without limitations, and as yet have
reached no decision satisfactory to all.
Even single members of the club lean
toward the side which was willing to de-
PEND upon the influence of mans mind
just a little. This shocked some of the
club women and the stand taken by their
unmarried sisters is termed ''inglCrious,
TO say the leeast
At the start there was difficulty as to
Just what highest development meant,
and then the subject was milited 10 its in
tellec,uaI phase only. But there were
further complications when the charge
was made that there is no case on record
of woman having lived entirely apart
from mans influence and therefore no
decision could be reached
Cases of single women having attained
distinction were mentioned. as, for in
Herschel. Louisa NJ AIcott, Joan of Arc
and others.
The climax was reached when some one
suggested Queen Elizabeth. Members
showed however. that. although nus
bandless. she was anything but lover
less. so that she was not a good example
of single blessedness
Another member put the question on a
scientific basis by drawing the Illus
tration from the natural world of the pos
itive and negative in electricity, and how
necessary one is to the other, asserting
that it had been so with man and woman
ever since the incident in the Garden Of
Eden.
After a lengthy discussion the club de-
cided to adjourn and members seemed sur
priscd with themselves to think that they
had tackled the subject at all.

He quickly turned from the subject
and showed a marked ability TO ask
questions. He is intensely interested about
everything pertaining TO the exposition
and is especially enthusiastic about the
