rs their arrogance OF sex There isn't
a. man living, no matter how mis-
formed, how hideous, how sickly. how
ignorant, how worthless he is. who
doesn't consider himself superior to the
most beautiful. the most intelligent and
successful woman in the world. The

the back door of q woman's house
wouldn't be a woman If you threw in
the money of Hetty Green and Mrs
Russell Sage to boot.
'Of course, I am not denying that TO
be born of the masculine persuasion is
TO get the preferred lot in life. 1 can

Among my acquaintance is a man
who seems 70 me the BOBBY prize in the
whole matrimonial lottery. He is little
and ugly and runty, with carroty hair
sandy complexion, and invisible eye
lashes. He is as dull as dish water
and never I suppose, read as much as
an almanac in his life. He lacks en-
ergy and sagacity in business, and has
never been able to even halfway sup
port himself. He has literally nothing
on earth to offer woman. and yet, to
my certain knowledge, he has asked
four splendid women to marry him
These women were pretty, bright
highly intelligent, and we'll off. and
they simply hooted at the idea of mar

More than that, these parasite hus-

simply because man just naturally
believes himself the Lord of Creation,
and better than any woman
It's this spirit that makes YOU re-
sent woman's entrance into the gain
. full occupations. A man feels that his
sex entities him to all the good things
going. and he just can't bear to see a
woman have any kind of a job that
gives her a respectable pay envelope.
That's why there's all the talk about
woman getting out OF her proper
sphere when she works anywhere but
in the kitchen. or at the wash tub or
sewing machine.
Masculine Arrogance.
Every woman who completes with
men, has to do not only as good work
as man. but better work, to hold her
place; yet when a woman succeeds.
there is invariably some belittling sue-
gestion OF her having done so through
some pull or her work is damned
with faint praise as being good for a
woman. And this is simply because
of the masculine arrogance that can't
endure to admit that a woman's brains
and skin may be as good as mans.
And this masculine arrogance is the
crux Of the reason why men are I'M
willing TO grant women political equal
ity with themselves. No Intelligent
man will deny that women are as high
minded and patriotic as men; that they
pay taxes and have TO abide by the
law, or that they have as much interest
in the country as men have; but after
having admitted all the arguments in
favor Of equal suffrage, he fails back
upon his unshakable belief that men
have divine right to rule over wo-
men.
And there you are Certainly, sex
vanity is the most puerile and silly
form of self conceit in existence: but
men have 1t in an acute form. and
why, is something can't understand"

SUNS ECLIPSE rs

Southern Part of the
United States.

Washington, D. c., April 27.-Observ-
ers of the celestial spheres are today
discussing the eclipse of the sun which
win occur tomorrow. Theoretically. it
is a total eclipse; practically-or so far
as the United States is concerned-it
is not To inhabitants OF this section
of the globe IT will be only a partial
eclipse. and will be visible only in the
southern states.
Washington astronomers are apathe-
tic regarding the eclipse They do not
expect to see 1t. In this latitude the
sun viii be just dipping below the
. horizon at the hour the eclipse sets IN.
Their lenses will be tipped westward
in an effort to see the phenomenon,
but they concede the chances are
against gaining any view Of it what
ever.
There is comparatively little inter-
est taken in the eclipse" said DR.
Asaph Hall. chief astronomer at the
United States naval observatory today,
"for the reason that it's salient fea-
lures will not beevisible within our
