PRAISE FOR NEW WOMAN
Has 5roadened Her Sphere, Says
Eastern Magazine.

The new woman is simply the one
who by experience, education and
common sense. is qualified to make
the largest and best use of her capa-
bilities. She is more delightfully."- fem
inine than ever-the attractions of her
wonmanhood more charming. But
she is both disciple and apostle OF the
gospel of health. She is gradually
breaking down the terrible conven-
tionality that has bound woman to
styles of dress, methods of life and
inane activity OF mind and body which
heretofore fettered her fullest deyel-
opment. Her marvellous individuality
seeks more freedom Of growth and
expression. Nature makes no two in
dividuals alike, either animate or in
animate, and the new woman would
follow this universal law to a reason
able extent rather than submit to re-
preston Of her individuality down TO
the dead level Of uniformity Yet this
individuality is attained with tact,
a femininity, an intuitiye appreciation
OF pubic sentiment. which IS as de-
liclous as It is effectiye.-Good House
keeping.
