Never was the sex making such eff
fort to learn what real womanhood
means as in this era, says Ella Wheel
er Wilcox in the Philadelphia Bulletin
Physical science and metaphysics are
working together to create new body
for woman; or rather to give her an
understanding of what a glorious body
is hers by right, and how to keep II
whole while the spirit needs 1t as a
temple
The ailing and weak women are de
creasing rapidly. Read any novel OF
half a century ago and the heroine is
invariably delicate given to side aches
and swoons. Novels reflect the man
ners and customs of the age in which
they are written.
The weak woman is not the type to-
day IN fiction or in society. However
many my friends may know in her par.
ticular circle, the sicllly woman is be
coming ashamed of her weakness, and
she is on the wane.
For the new woman, the woman who
is, and is to be, will be a three-fold
! creature, vigorous Of body, vital OF
mind, radiant of spirit, and she is here
| to-day. Tomorrow she will rule the
world.

junior member of the firm of Jaffe &

trolman ShuttleWorth, in Saratoga
park, Williamsburg. The patrolman
was locked up, charged with homicide.
He said the shooting was accidental.
He said that about ~ young men
were annoying people in the park
and among them was Jaffe. He placed
Jaffe under arrest and was starting
off to the station with him, when sew
eral friends of the prisoner came to
his rescue. They kicked him and
beat him with his own stick, the po-
liceman says. In the fight Jaffe broke
away and ran across the lawn. Shuttle
worth drew his revolver and fired, he
asserts, in the air. Jaffe dropped
dead with a bullet ia the brain.

Often when one is not able to read
