FUTURE STATUS
OF OUR WOMEN

In the normal social life the po-
sition of women Is easily defined. Th~y
are subordinate but important. The
citizenship rests with the man. and
the woman's relation TO the commun-
i,y as a whole 10 through a man. But
within that limitation her functions
as mother. wife ana homemaker ara
cardinal. IT Is ono of the entirely
unforeseen consequences that have
arisen from the decay OF the normal
social life and its autonomous home
that great numbers OF women. while
still subordinate. have become pro-
foundly unimportant. They have
ceased to a very large extent to bear
children. they have dropped most ct
their homema king arts, they no long
or nurse nor educate such children
an they have, and they have taken
on. new functions that compensate for
these dwindling activities OF the do
nestle interior. That subjugation
which Is n vital condition Of the nor
NAL social life doea not seem to b
necessary to the great state. II may
or 4 may not be necessary.
And here we enter upon the most

Bryan. Mr.. Bryan, while not zealously serving
any friendship. does the more harmful thing
OF serving his hates. In C. statement directed
TO the possibility of Governor Harmon winning
the endorsement of Nebraska, he says:

however. there is great difference from other
years in which Mr.. Bryan succeeded in max

more than hope of success He may find
that it il made much easier TO dominate the

sight of in the recognition OF her power.
Out Of the ofice--in Hoboken--the man
of affairs came back into her own. For years.
like any other old widow whose son had grown
up and gone away she lived modestly. with her
cat. her teacups and her neighbors. Making
nc bones of her great wealth. she dropped
each evening the affairs Of her banks and rail-
roads to gossip on the stoop, to visit among her
simple neghbors, TO hear about the ailments
of their children and advise in their domestic
affairs. Over in Hoboken Mrs. Hetty Green re-
newed her life by dropping the artiicialities of
business to become again the normal woman
OF her class
1t was less than year ago that Col. Edward
Green persuaded his mother to take the gift
Of a mansion BETTING her rank a leading
member OF the nobility of millions. Like
many another mother before her. she gave up
her comfort for the opinion of her boy. She
moved from the warm-hearted poverty of Ho-
boken to the cold splendor of the fashionable
section OF New York The teacups gave way
to rich and massive service The ordinary
household duties were swallowed. busted away
by a retinue of servants. Where all had been
simplicity, all became elegance but--no
neishbors dropped in of an evening TO sit on
the stoop: II there gossip in her life, it
was OF a biting sort that she did not under

house loneliness fell on the woman's heart

For a while, she stood it, for the sake of
the boy who is now railroad king of the

Then--and We can imagine the independent
jerk with which she adjusted her bonnet
strings-Mrs. Green revolted.
