tbs to n ~a' the story as 1t was told
There was sweet old fash
toned girl, who held high ideals of
men.
Whatever was masculine, was great
and wonderful to her.
She believed men to be the creators
in all realms of achievement; the lead
ers in the world of thought; the levers
of progress; and she worshipped them
as Archangels. little lower than the
one God. When there was any dis
cussion of woman's equality, she was
disguised with all who suggested wo-
man as mans equal in any way.
To her it was a delight to feel she
was inferior to man; and her pride
and happiness lay in the vocation of a
devotee, at the shrine of masculinity.
She knew there were two kinds Of
men; the good and the bad; and she
felt very sorry for the bad men; be-
lieving it was the fault of their moth
ers that they had gone wrong.
One day it became necessary for this
old fashioned girl to find a self sup
porting position.
A friend of the family secured en-
ployment for her, in a business block,
where half a hundred men, prominent
in the world of finance, transacted
large affairs.
The Old Fashioned Girl as a Stenogra-
pher Saw Representative Men.
There were heads of great corpora
tions; with all their staff of assistants;
and every day, going up and down in
The elevator, the old fashioned girl
was blessed, and honored, by the sight
of these representative men.
Her employer was one of them; and
often others came into his office, to
talk with him or to transact bust
ness
In one part of the building where
the old fashioned girl worked. there
was a banquet room, where these men
sometimes lunched or dined
AS the weeks grew into months the
girl learned many things about the
habits of these representative ben.
She had supposed they were serious
men, feeling a sense of great respon-
sibility. She knew they handled hum
dreds of thousands of dollars of 9TH
er peoples money
She knew they were factors in the
progress Of the city in which they
lived She believed they would regard
such obligations as sacred.
One day her employer was asked
to meet several other men at the ban
quet room at lunch hour to talk over
what was termed "a big deal"
The old fashioned girl was a stenog-
rapher and she knew much about this
deal. 1t seemed to her that the pros
perity and peace of thousands of peo-
pie were at stake.

shore, she saw many possibilities Of
hours in which they could be very
happy.
She remembered during their en-
gagement. one wonderful days trip to
the beach. and bow they had sat out on
the sand in the moonlight and listened
TO the rushing waves.
Yielding TO a sudden fancy she had
made him give her a pencil and a bit
Of paper. The back Of an envelope
was all he had. and she had torn it IN
two and told him they must each write
the thing they wished for most in the
werld-and then bury their wishes deep
in the sand with a little prayer that
they would come true
He had laughed and called her
sentimental little kitten, whom he sup
posed he had to humor. Then she had
found two clam shells in the sand and
putting the tightly folded bits OF paper
between them. had buried them deeply.
On hers she had wrftten:-~That ne
will love me always as much as hs
loves me nowT Although she had new
er asked him, she had often wondered
what he had written. AS they left she
had tried to mark the place IN her
memory by an imaginary line from a
tree and a distant cottage.
She smiled now at that fancy, for
long ago the waves had washed the
shells away.
But now, all day as she got their
things ready for this trip, she dreamt
Of that wonderful night And she was
filled with fluttering expectancy that
they were going again to the beach,
and perhaps 10 the very same place,
they would once more SIT out on the
sand in the moonli ght and listen 20 the
rushing waves

NEW CITY COUNCIL
NOW IN CHIHUAHUA
Anniversary of the Death of
Hidalgo Is Observed in
State Canital

Chihuahua. Mex, July 31.-The state
legislature has appointed a new city
council for this city to replace the old
board which resigned in a body a few
days ago, being forced to this end by
a public demonstration calling for
their designations. The new council
is composed of men who in the past
have been counted among the reaction
airy element
The Tooth anniversary of the death
of Miguel Hidalgo was celebrated here
Sunday. Hidalgo was convicted by a
clerical and military court in the old
Jesuit convent, the site of which is
now occupied by the new federal build
ing and was shot two days later,
July 80, 1911, on the site of the state
palace
Governor Gonzales and other promi-
nent officials spoke from the balloon
les of the state building facing the
Plaza Hidalgo, where a statue of the
great liberator" stands. Representa-
tives from nearly every state in the
union placed wreaths on the statue.

When the employer came back from
the lunch room. after two hours, in
which he had been very busy eating
and drinking, he brought three other
men, all representative men, holding
high positions in the world Of finance.
The Men Stood Before Her ON the Level
With Swine.
The four men seemed to have gorged
themselves with food and drink.
Their faces were red, the eyelids
heavy; they smelled of cooked flesh
and alcohol. They suggested hogs. or
anacondas, fed to repletion.
A violent revulsion of feeling came
over the old fashioned girl.
The men she had regarded as little
lower than the one God, the great
and good and wise leaders of colossal
business affairs, stood in her presence,
on the level with gorged swine.
Their voices were thick and coarse;
they had no dignity. no sense of re-
sponsibility, seemingly.
They possessed no self restraint;
they had no ideals of noble manhood,
the manhood which is Intended to
be next to Godhood.
Papers were drawn up AMI signed,
while the men were still in the befog-
gIed condition which follows overeattng
or drinking.
And the old fashioned girl wondered
II these were indeed the leaders and
rulers, the pillars Of strength. the
guides and heroes, she had spent her
life in worshipping afar.
AS weeks passed. the dissillusioned
young, old fashioned girl began to
find change in herself
She was ceasing to be an old fash
Toned girl-she was becoming New
Woman.
All her ideas of life were transform
ed and reconstructed.
She no longer thought men as great,
and it did not seem unreasonable to
her to regard women as mans equal
The Men Who Brought About the
Change Were Not Bad Men.
The men who had brought about this
change in her thoughts were not bed
men; they were not drunkards; but
they were gourmands, and self fndul-
gent. and devoid of high ideals.
They were not such men as their
positions demanded they should be, so
thought the girl.
Now this is the story as 1t was told
do not know that 1t contains any
moral.
It merely shows the workings OF one
girls mind and the transformation
of an old fashioned, man worshipping
girl into a New Woman, who believes
women should help form the laws. and
help reshape the world.

She took two steps from the door
and one step back to tell her hostess
of new joke she had heard on the
men, branching from that into a de-
scription of an Irish lace collar she
was making, and trailing off into a
new recipe for making tomato soup.
Thirty minutes later she was telling
how many yards Of lace she had on
her wedding skirt and ramb1ed from
that to a sure cure for Group.
She was gone at last, but three min
