DEADLY FOE OF FEMININISM
Writer'S Bitter Criticism Of Type Of
Women Very Much in the
Minority.

There is one type of woman, whom
I venture to call "Old Woman" who
is probably bitterer foe to feminin.
ism than any man, and that is the
super-feminine type, the woman for
whom nothing exists except her sex,
who has no interests except the deck.
ing Of her body and the quest of men.
This woman, who once dominated her
own species, still represents the ma.
jority Of her sex. It is still true that
the majority of women are concerned
with little save the fashions, novels,
plays and vaudeville turns. Those
women want to have "a good time"
and want nothing more; they are
ready to prey upon men by flatterina
them; they encourage their own weak
ness. which they call Charm" and
generally aim at being pampered
slaves, because, from their point OF
view, it pays better than being work
ing partners. Evidence of this is to
be found in womens shops, in the con
ttnual change in fashions, each Of
which is signal to the male, and in
the continual increase in the sums
spent on adornment: it is not uncom
mon for rich woman to spend $500
on a frock; $3.50 has been given for 9
hat, and $4,000 for set of furs.-W

FIRST TO WIN RECOGNITION
Earliest Of American Authors to Gain
the Coveted Praise Of Europe
Was Washington Irving.

The first American author to win
general recognition of his genius In
Great Britain was Washington Irving,
who died in his seventy.seventh year
at Sunnyside, N. Y. The immortal
humorist, historian and essayist was
born in New York, the son of a native
of Scotland. He was educated for
the law, but his tastes were all in the
direction of literature, and his legal
career was brief and almost brief
less one. At eighteen he wrote LET
ters of Jonathan Oldstyle," which
were published in the New York
Morning Chronicle, newspaper
owned by his elder brother, DR.. Peter
Irving. He was only twenty-five when
he wrote the celebrated History Of
New York. by Diedrich Knickerbock-
err" From 1915 until 1882 Irving re-
sided in England, where his genius
was fully recognized. Later he re-
turned to Europe as United States
minister to Spain, and spent several
years in Madrid. In the opinion of
both American and English critics.
Irving has few equals for grace of
style and purity and elegance of dc
ton and his works seem destined to
take their place among the great clas.
sizes of the English language.
