WOman'S Discovery Of Herself.

The Rev. William Bastard, of Boston,
says one of the greatest discoveries of
the past twenty-five years has been
woman's discovery of herself. She has
reached that stage where she knows
she is not doll, an angel nor a slave,
but woman, and claiming her rights
and privileges. Once to be born girl
was to be born a nonentity; in this age
to be born a girl means a bundle of
possibilities with power to influence
the world for good or evil. Many Young
girls have gone into commercial life
and they have gained success through
punctuality, being industrious and
minding their own business. The
woman who minds her own business
is to be praised and respected. More
girls 20 into society. The trouble with
our American mothers nowadays is
that they try and fit their daughter only
for her society entrance. 1t is all right
to be a society woman, but it is better
to be a woman in society. Women, are
emphasizing the word society too
much and the word woman too little.
