 And it was from his unsympathy for that which did not please him that woman's beauty was born. In the un- recorded days when women are thought to have been the queens of the horde and heads of the tribe they were plain and brawny. It was only when the governing power fell to the lot of the man that the female as lovely woman appears. She grows handsome only as man declines her homeiiness and re- quires her to be handsome. He holds her in his zenanas and does not suffer her to go abread into the cold. hard world nor to do hard labor nor to con- tact the ssamy sides of ltfe.

SerVitude

Perhaps these changes toward man. nishness are for the better. Perhaps the domineering Western girl is more interesting than the purrfng little Ja- panese women whose voices even are soft and dimpled. Perhaps the typical today business woman with the free dom of the streets Is on a higher plane than the gentle girl of another day who never quite loses her shyness
 Perhaps. Also perhaps she may not last. The new woman Is Q beginner. And beginner Is an imitator. He has to learn, follow. before he can teach or initiate. You cannot tell what he will do after that. All women can do now' Rdays is to take the wcrkaday world as they find 1t and learn now men do things.

 I was swiming on the Irish coast. and swam too far. My strength failed, and I suddenly knew that If I gave in I should be drowned There was nobody in sight. and the shore seemed to be miles away. I felt my muscles growing stiff. and knew that If relaxed my will all would be over. This is death, said to myself, and I felt a strange identity between the energy Of my mind and the iethargy of my limbs. My body appeared to be a part of my consciousness. The mechanism of my arms and legs struck me as being my real self.
 Hitherto my body had not been re- ality. I knew 1t as familiar ob- ject My face had grown familiar to me, because had been used to seeing it every day in my shaving glass. I say knew my face. with its eyes and

woman-her education. Their sympa. thies could not quicken to the like de- gree.
 Of the same untoward circumstances was born much of the womanly charm and gentleness and personal winsome- ness. They are essentially servile vir tues, the qualities of an inferior in his attitude toward superior. They are the qualities of underlings and infe- riors Of people who have favors to ask and boons to seek. or people who must please if tn y would win.
 Marie Dow in her role Of an Oriental captive maid pictured the whole his- tory of feminine psychology. It was by trying to please her lord and master. It was by exercising every beguiling grace and charming vile that she overcame him. Without the gentle power of her silence and the soft sua- sion of her winsomeness the little prisoner would have been powerless Every woman has been a captive maid.

 It does not seem unreasonable to ex- peot women in the long run to give to the world some of their own natures. It is only what they have done In ths home. That is why the homes where they are queens are thought refined and beautiful. And why the big out side world where they arc slaves IS called hard and cold.
 But even if women should not do much to soften the big world. somehow, 1t ia softening anyhow. It is growing gentler. It Is refining. 1t is civiliz- ing.
 And this happy and patent fact furn- ishss base for the hope that the com ing woman may retain the graces of yesterday while winning the liberty of tomorrow.

 There is not a woman abroad in the world of affairs but must appreciate the roughness and rudeness of 1t fin contrast with the soft. sequestered ele- gance of the life of home and leisure. the sheltered life, the life of the old fashioned woman. Thousands of new women in trade and industry and pro- fessional life have lost certain subtle charms and graces and beauties through their larger, freer more inde- pendent experience. They have won place, fame, money, or what not. But they have lost what Is iovelier than these.
 And many thousands more. perhaps, are destined to lose it.

 Woman's sympathies are character istically livelier than a mans for the same reason. The histories and pre- histories which the wiseacres read and decipher all show that in savagery woman was under-fed and abused and overworked and unduly. exposed, and that only in the latest eras some reliet has come to assuage her perpetual suffering.
 The memory of the past and it's pain is in every woInan's constitution. And of this memory is born her compassion for the sorrows of others. She cannot but be sympathetic.

 Perhaps it is an example in the won- derful law of compensation that many of the liveliest charms of women were developed by their sheltered and cir cumscribed lives in the famaliar sphere whence they are now emerg- ing.
 Many of the most characteristic feminine graces point to the moral of the old feminine servttude. And many of the most charming feminine virtues Illustrate the sweet uses Of lowianess.
 Many of them. most of them. per- haps ell Of them. are the qualities of the oppressed. The sooioiogists say that the poor have more vivid sympa thies than the rich. They have suf- fered and starved and hsen cold and uncomfortable. And so they can feel

Boilers and machinery were ordered. and the word went forth that the vessel would be named the Savan- nah. and that she would start to steam to Europe as soon as she could be fitted out. This notice was printed in The Evening Post of August 2l. 1918:

By the records of the New York Custom House it is shown that the Savannah had one deck and three masts that she was few inches more than s8 feet two inches deep. She was of 320 ton burden.
 On her trial trips the Savannah was successful, and in the spring of 1919 she started for her home port, Savan- nah. On her first voyage across the Atlantic she sailed from Savannah on May 22. It took her nearly month. or until June 20. to reach Liverpool Most of the time she had been obliged

 Between the time when the Clermont had her successful trial and the cross ing of the ocean by boat powered with steam twelve years elapsed. In that interval the use of steam had in- creased rapidly on the inland waters of the country, but 1t was regarded as a matter of doubt if steam could be de- craft such long distance as that which stretched between this continent and Europe.
 Theoretically. the accomplishment was admittedly possible, and 1t was generally conceded that ''some- day. would see ships crossing the Atlantic under steam. But no oAe had sufficient curiosity or interest t0 care to risk money on the proposition. In 1909 steam had been tried at sea with the
