refined sense and enlightened mind
are no longer satisfied with the moral
qualities of young men of today and
who do not believe the companionship
of husband necessary to their hap
piness It may be hard on our male
vanity. but the truth is that women
are far more able to do without us
that we without them.
These constitute one category of
single women.
There are others. There are those
who are not married, because they
have f1us dowry. There are daugh-
tiers OF poor officials who are too well
educated TO marry workingman, and
whom others do not want, because
they are too poor There are all
those who are waiting for a husband,
and there are those who have given
up waiting, and then there are the
widows, the divorced women and the
abandoned wives.
All these form IN France an enor-
two millions.
How does man behave towards these
women Badly.
Man cannot give up the belief that
women iH but an inferior being, ere
ated for his pleasure or to be tho
guardian of his happiness. He will
not admit that woman is, If not his
equal, at least his equivalent.
Man still says TO woman: Give your
self to me or starve." 1t is. as The
reese says in my play, THE Single
Woman" the most cruel of all ex-
tortions.
And mans ferocity does. not stop
here. He now sees in woman a conf
petitor. a competitor who is apt to get
ahead OF him because her needs are
smaller, and he has been, is, and
always will be a cruel enemy to her

by listening to the talks OF grown-up
people, has tended to give each of

believe themselves exceedingly smart.
But they are not They do nothing
but slightly mQdify the deplorable
education we give our daughters
This education, which / do call de-
plorabie. indeed, may be summed up
in this formula:
We teach our daughters nothing but
to please man. We do not give them
any Information about marriage. The
families, sad to say, are hardly supe-
Fior to the schools in old Athens,
where courtesans were trained to
please men.
Most assurediy we teach them how
to carry themselves, whatever this
may mean, unless to arouse the de-
slres OF possible husbands by q more
chaste attitude, or at least TO convey
to them the idea that they cannot get
possession Of the object of their de-
sires except through marriage. We
teach them art What art? The arts
OF seducticn--musc and dance. We
also teach them to write correctly and
10 converse without revealing their ig-
norance.
Besides this what do we teach
them?
Nothing.
This il enough, we say, for those
who are married shortly after.
But the otf1ers2 The others ara

are not married because their flirting
scares away the young men who are

A Gross Abuse.

Frank! Not the low postal rate
that magazines and newspapers re-
ceive, but the abuse of the frank
ing privilege Is the real cause of the
postal deficit. Political campaign ma
teriai was responsible for the diff
ference between a postal surplus and
a postal deficit for the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1912. II all the mat
ter which went free through the mails
last year had paid postage at the usual
rate 1t would have netted the govern
ment $2O.00o,000. About $780, coo
OF this amount should be placed to
the credit of campaign MATERIAL read
into the Congressional Record for no
other purpose than free distribution.
Why has nothing been done to corr
rect this abuse? Because practically
'everybody's doing It." The legftimate
use OF the Thanking privilege for pu-
bic documents need not be interfered
with, but its abuse in the sending OF
heavy printed matter. for purely poll
teal purposes, as first class mail
should be stopped. There would then
be no postal deficit to be laid at tna
doors Of the magazines and newspa-
pers.--From Lesite's.
