This is the woman lesson Of the
year, the story of beautiful Esther,

Book of Esther is Of interest in this
day of unrest concerning the status OF
ma The absurd masculinity OF
Vashti's rebellion, that all wives

hands, will not escape the shafts OF
feminine wit, as this lesson is studied
by millions Of persons.
In truth, the whole story reeks Of
ancient and oriental man-sway. In
its light we perceive how far the lot
Of oma has improved. While there
is nobleness, to be hOnOred and emu
lated, in the conduct Of both the de-
Iosed Persian Queen Vashti, and Of
her successor the lovely Jewess Queen

a fair starting place for a frank dis
cussion of the fundamental issues Of

fact that today woman's place has be-
come a question; it was unquestion-
ed a generation ago. Whether wo-
man is to be, as was Esther's lot, h
mere toy OF mans caprice. the sup

art of dress and adornment: or
whether she is to be the confident.
