~ When the New Woman Game.
The new womaR had arrived one
day about thirty years ago, She wasn't
heralded by any brass hands orbent-
Ing drums. She just quietly elbowed
the bosses aside aud made q place for
herself. aud she's been making more
room every day since. At first we
laughed at her. It was o good Joke.
Then we sneered at her She gave us
the wink that there. was something
doing BY the time we had got ready
to club her back into her old place Il
was too late. She was running things
TO suit her own ideas LII
Today women have the right to vote
in many states. Five years hence win
see 'em voting IN all. Man. the boss.
has been deposed. and the sooner he
makes terms the better for him.
The new era has changed many
things, but nothing more than that
feeling we call love Years ago 1
loved and courted. It. took me full
year to find out whether the girl loved
me or not There was time wasted.
There was anxiety and delay. | was
afraid to ask. and the girl was afraid
TO answer. Even II she, loved there
was the old man aand the old woman
TO ask, the grandfather and the grand
mother, the uncles and aunts and
cousins. .....
How It is with the new woman7 She
knows her mind, and. knowing It. she
doesn't care what others think. When
you have courted her for four weeks
she Is either ready TO cling TO you as
the vine does TO the oak or to point TO
the door and tell you TO take skate
Here and there some Fifth avenue girl
still buys a husband for so much cash
in hand, but even that sort OF barter is
going out Of fashion. D.. .a ..t W
Old Love on Modern Bssis.
There is Just as much love since the
new woman arrived as there was he
fore, but \ has been put on another
basis. The new woman wants to know
where her bread aud butter Is coming
from, and she doesn't become the cling
Ing vine until she finds out. Most o.
them can go out and earn $15 per week
without cllnglng TO any oaks or bass
woods ..
The new woman runs the house. The
boss hung on by his toes, but he had
TO go, There are million homes In
this country now where the wives can
go TO the store and buy spool Of
thread without being Jawed all Mig At
by the husband.
The new woman started the fashion
OF having two hats year Instead of
one hat every fifteen years. There
was talk that the country would he
bankrupted, but the United States
treasury Is still paying all vouchers.
The new woman wears puffs and
rats, aud she powders and paints
That's her business, :. II the boss
doesn't like II be can lnmp,it,
The new woman wears high heels
on her shoes. Men would have kept
her MS natfooted as washboard but
he just couldn't.
The new woman shoots, rides, plays
ball and walks around alone. Don't
try TO be funny with her or you may
get six months In the hospital.
In conclusion and just before taking
the highway for Y Crossroads let me
exclalm: Heaven bless and prosper
and progress the new womanl She
has turned the world upside down, but
the world is the better for it!''
