She must carefully preserve the ia

This is true:
However well she may succeed and

TIE IDEAL WOMAN


Dr. Lyman Abbott. editor OF the On,
Iook. outlines his conception OF IN
ideal woman. Briefly. his outline is a
follows:
A woman who is not the slave O
fashion nor the dressmaker.
Who Is not afraid that work Will
spoil her hands.
Who wears shoes In which she cal
walk. thereby getting her color from
exercise instead of the rouge box.
Who develops her love OF beauty In
her home.
Who Is Industrious, sympathetic.
energetic. enthusiastic. motherly and a
true friend"
Well. that is considerable to demand
or one woman. Is 1t not?
And yet
There Is nothing In the requirement.
that call for the super-womaniy. The
qualities specified are the old homely.
practical qualities that are to be found
In the average woman.
Of course you will not find thesa
Qualities In the woman of the Four
These society danes, for the most
part. are the slaves OF fashion: coddle
tneir hands by frequent recourse to
the manicure: cripple to and from their
carriages in high heeled shoes ana get
their compilations from their dresser
Jars.
Faraphrasing Editor Abbott's emu
meration. we may say OF these women.
ihey are fndustrious-in their dlssi-
pations: sympathetic-w where sympathy
Is not needed: energetic-in their ar.
tendance on functions; motherly-to
their lap dogs; true friends-while the
sun OF prosperity shines.
Ihey concern themselves I'm nothing
more than the problem of how TO don.
bic on bridge. the symphony of table
decorations. the newest fad on rbvth-
mic emotions or the whyness of artIs-
tic thusness.
But there are others. There are
hosts or women who I'LL to the full the
measure OF Ideal womanhood-
Women who are not afraid of soIline
their hnnds, who use sensible shoes.
who wear their native colors on lin
and cheek, who are industrious. sym
pathetic. energetic. enthusiastic, moth
erly and true friends"
More Than that.
IL you would picture many OF these
women you would need employ his
tory and rhetoric. because
Thousands OF our everyday women
are Esthers In attractiveness. Miriams
In courage. Sarahs In gracious dignity.
Isachels In affection for their children.
