The Evening Chit Chat
BY RUTH CAMERON

attainment of this ideal is that women
have been content with conditions as
they are in this respect. and haven't
made up their minds to demand better
things
In British East Indiana it is the GUS
tom that a woman will not marry a man
until he goes to some neighboring tribe
and brings back three heads as proof
OF his prowess. The men are not a
bloodthirsty lot. They don't kill for
the love OF killing. They simply get
those three heads because that is what
the women have decided that they want.
The editor of well known woman's
magazine comments on this custom:
1T Is gruesome yes; but all the same
1t is a universal human fact. In a
thousand ways--most of them more
pleasant than that--this sort Of thing
goes on the world over; what women
decide becomes custom and law"
The moral OF this to Mr.. Box is that
since this is SO, since woman has so
great an influence. she ought to be con-
tent and not to ask the right to help
make laws.
| with all due respect to Mr.. Box
am going to make a bold to read q
different lesson. and that is that since
woman has to great an influence and
can have whatever she wants. this
single standard of morality is not an
limposibility IL only women will want
lit enough.
! / admit they don't want enough to-
day
But the success Of a play like "A
Mans World proves that they have
at least begun to think on this sub
i ject-
4 And with that step taken think the
rest Is sure to come.
4 Not soon, by any means. don't mean
that
/ But maybe when old Halley's comet
comes on his next trip he will see as
great change in this respect as he
has seen in others since his visit OF
three quarters of century ago.

finds carriers do not need larger
revenues to maintain credit or in

are required to cancel rates and
restore former rates on before
March 10. The decision deals with
a number of questions affecting
public carriers, among them being
the need of greater revenue for
the support OF railroad credit, the
necessity for larger railroad sur
pluses, the right or a railroad to
incease rates because of increased
value, the railroad theory OF rate
making. the tendency OF railroad
regulation, the cost of the service

the value of railroads on the basis
of the cost OF reproduction. In

The single standard of morality for
both sexes that you keep talking about
is absolutely impossible and absurd" a
man wrote to me the other day, and
wish you would write ON more sensible
subjects. Tell women to stay at home
and darn their husbands stockings and
leave the things they don't understan nd
alone, and you will be doing more good
in the world"
There is familiar ring about that
Injunction to the ladies to attend to
their darning.
Some years ago. as q newspaper wo-
man, I accompanied half a dozen suff-
ragists who were making tour
through the state speaking on woman's
suffrage and trying to get signatures
for giant suffrage petition
In order to get incidents for my story.
. / myself took the petition one day and
went about with it in a mill town where
there was unusually ignorant class
of people. When the men refused to
sign. always asked them why they did
not believe in womans suffrage. and in
four cases out of Ave got slight varia-
tions of one answer:
Il want my wife to stay at home and
darn my stockings"
| But that Is merely by the way.
What 1 started to speak about waf
my friends's assertion that a single
standard of morality for both men and
/ women is an absolute impossibflity.
i If this man had lived fifty or hun.
dred years ago today he would undoub.
teddy have said that 1t was an impossi
bility that women should enter college.
or succeed in business.
II If women will make up their minds
that they want a single standard o.
morality just they did that the,
wanted to go into business. they viii
have 1T.
h If girls will decide that they wan
husbands with as clean records as the!
themselves have, just as they decided
that they wanted college educations

She has the right to take an influential

more than much to the devotion of her

Through a shcrt-sighte5 and perhaps
an utterly false attitude toward these

love and the widest service.
She may value caprice above purpose,
her whims above opportunity, her ease

wealth above devotion, romance above
reality, a Career above the Christ, and
