Where Woman RcignS


and innocence, was made to preside
over and adorn the garden of Eden.
Society and its. conditions is swayed
by public opinion, as other institutions
aims to the demand of popular opin-
ion. Society undergoes changes and
passes through stages in keeping witt!
the Kaleidoscope changes in the wor. i
attitude. The time was when beauty
in woman was her passport into the
society of the elect. And it seems rot
altogether f1imsy passport, since God
implanted in the souls of men love
for the beautiful And though all its
varied stages the world has been made
to recognize the power of woman )
beauty that appealed to the poet when
he wrote:
ITO make the cunning art:ess, tame
the rude,
Subdue the naughty, shake the us-
daunted soul;
Yea, put a bride in the lions mouth,
And lead him forth as a domestic cur
l.
erful beauty: But there came a lime
when beauty uncoupled with intellect,
lost its subtle charm and when INTEL
lect, unaccompanied by beauty, held
undisputed sway. Brilliancy n wo-
man was as attractive and as much
sought after as brilliancy in men.
This growing demand of society for
intellect in women revo1utionized the
world. Women became independent,
entered schools, colleges and universi
ties and kept pace with men in all
learning.
They ceased looking upon beauty as
the end and aim Of their existence.
But following this improved condi-
ton of society. came that most deplor-
able one when money was the price
for admittance to the elmer circles"
The world today is too familiar with
the conditions during this stage of So
ciety when money-bought popularity
was alluring an unthinking public into
its snares, and too familiar with the
pitiable condition of a society that
would permit such false ideas to be It's
foundation, for 1t to need discussion
here. But society, hearkening to the
voice of the people in it's demands FIR
purer government, more honest legss-
lation and more unself1sh relations
man to man, is hating and the feeling
is growing that neither beauty nor
money nor intellect alone can make So
ciety that is worth while. Only great
er intellectual and greater moral worth
can do it. In all circles there was
never greater admiration for men and
women of sound principles and great
capabilities.
And women of worth will be The
queens of tomorrow's society.
