Brewster, confident that the stock

later It must drop, calmly ordered his
horse for ride In the snow covered
park. Even though he knew the ven
ture was to be a failure Ia the ordinary

that he was doing something. He might
be q fool; he was at least no longer in

to him. He was exhilaratcd BY the

ARE WOMEN GROWING
LESS SENTIMENTAL?

ten mostly for women and by women,
and which fairly reflect women's
point of view at every period. COM
pare the Belindas. and Evelinas, and
Amelias, who simply exlded sentiment
at every pore, with the strenuous
heroine of the modern novel. 1t is
the difference between Miss Edgeworth
and Richard Harding Davis.
Even the broken-hearted heroine,
and the heroine who suffered and was
strong, have gone out Of fashion be-
cause women are no longer sympathe-
tic with that state of mind. What in
terest women in fiction Is heroine
who sees things fairly and squarely,
and perhaps unconventionally, and
who grapples with problems OF real
life. She must be involved in love
story. of course, but the love story is
a side ISSUE not the whole thing.
The theatre, which is also largely
supported by women, shows the same
indifference to sentiment. The most
successful plays of late years have
been the problem plays and the plays
of action, and not those that depended
on sentiment. Women are the most
enthusiastic Shawites and Ibsenites,
whose appeal is always to the intellect
and not to the heart.
Two other straws that show which
way a wOmans mind moves are the
facts that women have ceased TO
swOon and almost ceased to weep. The
| woman of the past was so sentimental
that she could be touched to tears by
anything. She wept for joy. and she
| wept for sorrow just as she swooned
away when anything unexpected hap
pened.
| This was esteemed interesting, but
! a woman now, who couldn't control
herself, would be considered the vic
/ tim of hysteria, and would hustle off
| to the nearest nerve specialist to get
| herself treated, because she would
| know that she was an object of de-
rision with other women.
Women have just as many causes
| to weep. and to be unhappy as they
ever had. but they have quit being
sentimental over their troubles. They
have begun to look at them nationally
and mend bad matters if they can
and bravely if they can't.
/ In some ways wOmen'S loss of SEN
/ timent is a great gain to the sex an(
the world at large. In others. it is a
/ loss, for, however absurd the Senti-
! mentalist may have been, there is nc
denying that she was the most com
Portable and consoling person.
| At any rate, it seems certain thai
| women are growing less sentimental
and it is interesting to note the effec
| that this has upon their daily lives.
| Undoubtedly women look upon love
and matrimony and even men with 9
! less sentimental eye than they form
| erly cid.
The poet who wrote that Love wa:
/ of mans life a thing apart, it's wo
mans whole existence" expressed the
condition of affairs of the times II
which he lived. but he would have {
very different tale to tell of today.
Then matrimony was the only cares
open to woman. Loving her chief ac
eomplishment. Sentiment her stock il
trade. The only way by which sh'
could obtain any of the pleasure ant

TWO GREAT TEACHERS OF LAW

Tt would seem that fitting article

limits the range of selection; but

The Dick-Dillard Law School was es-

billiard soon after became associated
with him. it became known through
out the State under their joint names.

and their subsequent success, it has
never been surpassed. Today it has

and having withal a strong poetic
vein, used more the language OF the
scholar, with greater f1uency OF dlctioA
and wealth of illustration. In its re-
suit the combination was most eX-
cellent. Both understood the reason
and spirit of the law in its highest
sense. and appreciated and en1oined
the duty of those who undertook the
responsibility of its execution. They

have had a rather curious expert
enca lately. One day l CHANGED to
hear a discussion among three college
girl graduates, who talked OF lie, with
a big L. They all expected to elevate
tho world, and were very serious and
unified i'm their views, but as nearly as
/ could make out from the consensus
of opinions expressed, the three things
that they regarded as the greatest
calamities that could befall a woman
were: First, to get married; secondly
to have children, and thirdly, to be
tied down to a home.
The next day 1 met beautiful and
wealthy young woman, who was a
reigning belle in society, who calmly
told me that she had broken her en-
gagement to the young man to whom
she was engaged to be married. She
gave as a reason for doing this that
she had been to see one of her girl
friends, who had been married-a cou-
pie of years, and who looked faded
and weary and whom she found
wrestling with a crying BABY, no
servants, and a husband VINO was
cross, because there was no dinner.
"Of course, I'm awfully fond of jack.
the girl went on, "but / took one look
at Lulu and one at myself, and ]
came home and wrote Jack that
matrimony was too strenuous for
me-"
The third day l heard somebody
ask a working girl If she ever intended
to marry. to which she replied, with
emphasis Never catch me giving UP
my pocket-book and latch KEEP for any
man that lives"
These three groups of women may
,<,ir. cynv nc n
they do undoubtedly represent the
three types of women of today-the
intellectual. the gay and frivolous, and
the working woman, and the thing
that struck me so forcibly was that all
of them displayed an absolute lack OF
sentiment.
The college-bred woman did not
want to marry, because it would inter-
fere with her career. The society CIR
did not want to marry because she
would lose her beauty and have tC
worry about servants. The business
woman did not want to marry be-
cause she would have to give up hei
liberty and her salary.
All three travelled by different roads
but they reached the same goal. TIC
them matrimony was a life-sentence

man about 35 years old, he kept one
or more gum or hickory switches in
a rack over his chair and was always
ready to use them. One summer day
at noon playtime these boys went to
Dan River for swim. They over

more switches and when the boys did
come there was a royal castigation.
