The evening times. [volume] (Grand Forks, N.D.) 1906-1914, 1907-05-21

AS society editor of the Evening
Times, we desire to give the public Of
Grand Forks and of North Dakota the
latest and most interesting social news.
To this end we want our friends and
especially our lady friends to consider
it a social duty to talk with us con-
corning their social functions and
matters OF general interest to women,
ana we Will work to make these
columns, which have been SO thought
fully and generously contributed to
our use-newsy, entertaining and in
teresting.
The time was when "our lords"
lorded over ALL and woman's sphere
was small indeed, and it is only re-
Gently that the sterner (?) sex have
come to realize that we have brain and
Drawn too, and also some of that
characteristic called sterness.
All leading periodicals. now have
their woman's column conducted by
an editor chosen from our own ranks
and, In fact, several periodicals are
now owned and controlled exclusively
by the gentler sex and they are a
credit to their owners and blessing
to their people.
The fact that these columns usually
designated social corner" Society
etc., cetera and presided over by wom-.
en-, devote considerable space to local
gossip, we believe gives an impression
that about all that women are inter-
ested in is tea and card parties and
social gatherings. This is not the
case, however, for women are doing
much to christianize and civilize the
whole world; they are in the front
ranks as writers of fiction and song;
they are the moulders of character,
and in recent years they have demon
strated that they possess scientific and
commercial ability equal to their
brothers.
With these thoughts before us, let
us not be content with a social cor
ner," but rise to a higher plan of
thought and action and join hand in
hand with our brother man. until he
consents to give his better have" the
better half of the newspaper to be de-
voted to the interests of women.

the scene of the elaborate function
and was lastly decorated in the class
colors-old rose and white-and jun

ners were neatly arranged and en-
joyed by the many guests. Frappe
was served during the evening and
