Anne O'Hagan is writing a series Of
papers in Harper's Bazaar which de-
serve the thoughtful attention W
every intelligent woman. This month
Miss O'Hagan discusses feminine
ideals, concerning which she is quite
optimistic, as the following extract
shows;
Even I, even you-are not our
ideals compounded with us at last?
Do we not hear the riot of the chill
dren more leniently, more tenderly,
because we too were once adventur-
ers? Are we not a little kinder to the
serious, pressing young because we too
were serious and prosy once? Can
we not discern noble. shy purpose is
what looks to unenlighten eyes Ike
mere pomposity? Is not the work
able, everyday honesty, which is all
that we can claim now. the remnan-
of that old dream of curs-that dream
Of utter truth in words and thoughts
and deeds? Was not all that vast,
impossible ideal necessity to give us
just this little bit of ordinary. COM
panionable decency-as earth and air
and April rain and sunshine and all
the vast chemistry Of nature are
needed to give you finally your ser
viceanle vegetable pot?
What becomes of our ideals. Our
ideals are II food fnat makes is
what we are. that is transmitted into
the very fabric of our being. To the
making of an ordinary decent man or
woman-just an ordinary honest
kind, unselfsh human being-so many
glor1aus aspirations, golden dreams

making of an ordinarily healthy per-
son so many preteids, so much albu-
