NEW VISION OF woMAN,s MISSION.

Women are to-day engaged in every
walk Of life, and they acquit themselves
creditably in every calling. Twenty years
ago districts that are now filled with
women employed as clerks. stenographers
and typewriters We're seldom visited by
women. In those days men stared when
they saw an unattended woman in Wall
Street: in these days they pass unnoticed
The sex line is wiped out All are bread
winners. In our modern economical or
industrial life all bread winners are of
one sex.
AS a whole. women will some day
emerge from the mere physical sex facts
that now hinder them The sex atmo-
sphere will be thing Of the past. Men,
| tally and worth will dominate and wo-
man will be regarded for what she really
is-a factor In our economic and indus
trial life She will be accorded her true
value This will in no way interfere with
her home life. her domestic life. or her
social life, in which she will maintain
her femininity
She will be the woman. the woman that
men will honor. respect and love far
more than the angels Of femininity Of to-
day In the place Of trivialites between
them there will be human comradeship;
in the place of weakness. incapacity, diff
ferent levels Of thought and feeling. there
will be real sympathy. appreciation, un-
derstanding and mental cooperation.
There will cease to be the eternal bar of
barrier Of sex.
I am no enemy Of that old imperishable
| sentiment of ours which Is most en-
trancing. most beautiful Suffrage will
IL IL,
II stronger and more enduring. Emotion
al indulgence Is all WELL but 1t cannot
Ilong endure if It offends reason and
causes the edge OF ones mind to grow
blunt by personal intercourse hardly
above the animal. Woman suffrage Will
bring 10 women more of the spiritual
| life.
l do not mean by that what she in
many instances has now. the emotional
beauty of the church. but a new light. a
| new way of seeing things: vision of 4
bigger mission; a higher, broader and
| more useful life.
| Then she will not have to live to weep
over inevitable wrecks fostered by self
delusions. Women will then breed a bet
ter average strain of human beings, She
will then have come into her own right
full station of equality with the male
| without the hindrance Of sex dsquali-
ncstion with all its traditional impedi
| menta.
When sex ceases to make an abyss that
cannot be bridged and the rights of both
the sexes are the same woman will stand
free, her chains and shackles loose and
fallen at her feet. She will rise above the
standard of yesterday and to-day, for
the weight of old forms and old customs
no longer weigh her down,
This spark of freedom will kindle in
this woman and that woman until it will
illumne the entire sex and she will
hasten to part with fads and primitive
illusions and rise with dignity to play
the new game fair and true. All our
small gains and large gains In the cause
Of suffrage seem as nothingg when ono
is conscious Of the great work ahead.
