= have been sent to the peniten-
tiary, but suddenly a good girl who
knew him somewhat interested herself
in him. 1t was so dreadfully romantic
and womanly to be interested in Grim
inal and forger! By and by the good
girl said she would marry the bad man
and criminal If he would promise never,
never to do so again, and then the
two would go and begin life anew.
She would pour out the fine womanly
devotion of lifetime on him and make
a good man of him. Did the criminal
himself think she could accomplish the
job of making a man of him? the judge
asked the bad man himself. 81 think I
can be good man again If / have An
| gelina by my side to inspire me and
help me- replied the bad man. Then
the judge, touched by the tender ro-
nance of the thing and the womanly
devotion of the girl suspended sentence
on tie bad man to give him a chance.
Society forgave him and welcomed him
and almost made lion of him Just

they will try to be good should always
have a chance even if some woman has
to sacrifice herself in the effort to make
| them good. and the result Is not always
worth the effort either. But what
want to know is this: Suppose the bad
man had been bad woman, with no
more reputation than that criminal

to make her good, and if he had done
so would society have applauded him,
taken the woman to it's arms and made
even more of her because she had
passed through the fires and been
scorched? No. Society would have
dropped both him and her like a hot
potato, all except the new woman, that
is. The new woman would have really
given the ex-bad woman a chance and
would have received her as an equal if
she bore the test. That is one differ
ence between the new woman and the
old.

History informs us that the original
reason why women first had to go
yelled in the orient was that If they
went about with uncovered faces their
beauty would lead men astray. Well,
then, women in those days must have
been far more beautiful than they are
now, that's all.
Are you SO loyal to your own sex
