All women today have a wider hori'
zon. The mother studies the task OF
feeding and caring for her children
and hunts information. The matron,
whether her husbands income be large
or small, belongs to some club In
church, In the home and school league
or in her social life, and has swarm
of organizations in which she Is inter
ested. An overwhelming share of the
100000 volumes yearly circulated In
this city are read by women, probably
seven or eight out Of ten, says the
Philadelphia Press. Concerts, music
in the home, art and the theater all
live on the interest of women, as the
audiences show. Novels and maya
zines grow and multiply on their sup
port. Physical training, sOunder ny
giene and wiser food have greatly de-
veloped the American woman. Inc
daughter of today is nearly always
taller than her mother and usually bet
ter schooled Fair as was her moth
er, she is fairer still, as the Roman
poet noted of mother and daughter In
a day Of corresponding advance. But
though fairer and physically stronger
when the American woman thinks OF
the perfect woman" she gives the
major weight and Importance to those
things of mind and heart which years
do not rob, but instead enrich.

the great organizations and make

PreJudices against corporations
merely because they are big, perhaps,
must be done away with. They give
labor better returns. They cheaper

investors who get returns otherwise
unattainable. They employ able
young men who have no capital at

my opinion there should be depart

The law should be made so clear.

women no longer keep their faces
covered In public. They go about as
they please, and make goo-goo eyes
and firt just as women do elsewhere.
This is a great reform which is said
to be pleasing to both sexes, but 1t is
not likely to create rush to Turkey
for beauty exhibition. The most
