Woman" or LADY,"

In court AT Derby. Conn, n female
sci on the other side as this wo.
man, whereat she became indignant
and the regular proceedings were in
te%rrupted until the Judge officially
declared that the term woman" is
just as honorable as lady
1t is very peculiar that while real
ladies' are proud to be called women.
the mere women are very lnslstent
upon being called ladies.
Perhaps If In common custom the
meaning OF the two words could be
reversed. everybody would be salts
fed. Then every female would be a
lady. but not every lady would be
entitled to the higher name OF wo-
man.
BY no means are all men gentle
men. Strange to say. those who are
not are the most eager to be called
such, or at least gents" while real
gentlemen greatly prefer to be spo
ken OF as men.
When employed with the intention
OF respect. woman" is more honora-
BILE than lady" Just as Llncoln's
He looks like a man." applied to
Whitman, was much more "a com
pliment than He looks like IA gen
tleman" would have been.
Take the quotations, One that
was a woman, sir" and "A perfect
woman nobly planned; change the
word woman" in each TO lady"
and see the lofty meaning crumble
to commonplace.
What person OF any dellcacy of
feeling could think OF the mother
merely as a lady? The deep, sweet
love that sets the heart thrilling is
inspired only by the noble. soul
rooted qualities OF oma
What young man loves his sweet
heart merely because she is a ia

a swell "societylady" but mans heart
love responds to the oma ia her.
Yet it L. possible for the sweet old
word woman" to be used contemp-
%tuously, as this Connecticut lawyer
probably employed 1t,

flavor of c~ondescension.
1t takes a real man to appreciate
