Sex Equality; q Solution of the Wo-
man Problem" The theories adyanc-
ed are based on tho teachings of OAR
win and Spencer as well as on those
of the latest and foremost supporters
of the doctrine of evolution Sex
Equality teaches that women are more
intuitive, refined, unselfish, and spirit
ual, but at the present time are dis
unctly inferior to men in Initiative,
resource. power. and breadth of view,
Sex Equality shows that these mem
tai differences between men and wo-
men are not fundamental nor the re-
suit OF sex, but are caused by the en-
vironment and heredity that when
each sex Is fully developed there viii
not be as now masculine traits and
feminine traits, but simply traits, thai
women VIII be as mathematical. log
ical. philosophical. and inventive as
men. and men Will be as intuitlve re-
fined, and spiritual as women. Sex
equality Is strong plea for extending
democracy into all phases of human
life. Furthermore. there are given
good reasons for believing that the d.
minutive stature and inferior strength
now Characteristic of women are the
result, not Of sex, but of habits of life
and heredity. Those who accept the
doctrine of evolution Will have diff
Guilty In denying these conclusions.

NOTES.

The Macmillan company, one of the
largest publishing houses in America, is
occur wing temporary quarters TINS
summer while extensive additions are
being made TO their building at 64-66
Fifth avenue, New York. When the
present building was erected in 1898 1t
was thought to provide ample space for
the prospective growth of the business.
But years ago the old building was en-
tirely outgrown, and the addition now
in progress of erection will more than
double its capacity. The company ex-
pec;s to take up it's occupancy of the
new building before the end of the year.
Owen Wister's interest in Ameri-
can history has been so repeatedly
shown that the announcement of a book
by him on George Washington is not
altogether a surprise. Each of his nov
els has been genuine contribution to
American history. THE Nirginian Is,
and is likely to remain, our classic ac-
count of the frontier civilization In
which the cowboy was the dominant
figure. Lady Baltimore" representing
another phase of American life, has
been commended by no less u historian
than James Ford Rhodes, as almost
indispensable to the understanding OF
conditions in the South since the war.
1t will he recalled also that Mr.. Wis
ter's little biography of General Grant,
published some years ago, was one OF
the most successful examples of NINA
ture biography ever produced. 1t Is
understood that the forthcoming book.
the tito of which is The Seven Ages
of Washington" is not TO be a bulky
and detailed account of Washington's
life hut rather a comprehensive sum
ming up Of his character and influence.
Strangely enough. this seems to be the
one thing that Washington's innumera :
BILE hiographers have not yet done. and
Mr.. Wister may therefore, he said TO
have this particular field to himself, in
spite of the familiar appearance of his
subject.
One of the earliest of tho fall books
will be Miss iona Gales THE Loves of
Pelleas and Etarre." a novel which has
been awaited with some curiosity.
Heretofore Miss Gale has been princi-
pally known as contributor of short
stories to the magazines, In which field
she has taken very prominent posi-
ton within a year or two. Her novel
is understood TO be based on a series Of
short stories which have attracted con-
siderable attention in the magazines
