OUR BOYS.
The New Man in the Making.


At a suffrage meeting at which Syl-
via Pankhurst, the noted suffragist OF
England was to be the speaker, a
mother came, bringing with her two
boys of about twelve and fourteen
years of age. They were intelligent,
manipulating little fellows. anu their
attention wandered but little during
the address. In them could be seen
the new man in the making.
For, that a new order of things is
going to come about, is undoubted.
And men need to be fit d for it as
we'll as women And the best time to
fit them is when they are young. The
boys of today should be trained so
that when they come to MANHOOD they
will greet the new woman cordially.
1t is difficult to make the men of to-
day see or sympathize with the change
coming over the woman's world. Here
and there are the exceptional men
who see the value of it and welcome
/ it. But the rank and file of mascu-
Unity are Indifferent or opposed to it..
They are opposed to it mainly because
they do not look into it intelligently.
Man hates change, as a rule, that is,
if present conditions are to his salts
faction And present conditions are,
as a rule, satisfactory to man, because
he has had the shaping of them. He
has made the laws ana set the stand
ards Because he doesn't study the
matter at all, he thinks if women have
the ballot, they will neglect the home,
and he will be Inconvenience. They
will do various other things, all of
which will bring him discomfort. This
is as far as he thinks about the mat
ter, ana he opposes suffrage and all
measures for women's develop ment
and advancement

Her secret of success has not been
disclosed wholly, despite many open
discussions of paramount importance
to the trade Much she does reveal
but, perhaps, some invention she will
give reluctantly to the public This is
appreciated because in all trades must
be some native ingenuity which is
most important
There is one, however, who is a
fearless worker and speaks, at times
most emphatically of conditions. She
says: 81 model my customer and make

An answer to this was featured in a
number of photographs taken of re

yokes to shorten the waist length, nc
heavy ganiture, only loose folds, sur
plice effects, straight lines and long
trimmings, not a superfluous article

some materials, especially sheer, dis

they were destroyed effectively in
