Phillips Brooks once sad when he
was asked, il he were permitted to
come back to this world and live

prefer to come back a girl of six

Certainly he could not have select
ed more attractive form-a girl Of
sixteen. who does not love her?
Just girl. little one
In the glory of the sun,
Finding life as girlhood should,
Stainless. beautiful and good.
With no thought in heart and
mind
For the brutal or unkind.
For the evil or the vile
These are dooms Of afterwhile;
Let the worlds cares such as
Be untasted-thine the rose,
imne the laughter and the slee,
And the JOY Of being free"
This is the girl as. the poet sees
her' but does 1t reflect the real at
titude Of society toward her?
II so. society has a queer way of
showing the high value that it
places upon women. True. there
are many pedestaIs that men
carve for women but as a rule the
Pedestals are not conveniently
paced to be used as the means of
climbing to higher things, and they
are usually SO slippery and circun-
serloed. some SO queer in shape
tnat every woman is in imminent
danger Of stepping off, and IL she
does great Is the fall thereof.
But when getting beyond the
Quixotic field Of Knight Erranty do
we hnd that women are SO hi0hIy
yalued?. I sometimes wonder IL
the modern woman had lived in the
days when knighthood was in
FloWer, II she really would have
found an opportunity for the use
OF her most valuable traits.
Woman Exploited By the Law.
Certainly woman is exploited in
the law all over the country. The
right to own her unborn child il
denied her in some States, and its
father may even will 1t to some one
else. In very few States is she the
equal guardian with the father Of
her living child.
To the marriage relationship. the
is framed in deceit and garIanded
with g1ittering generalities, which
the minister himself knows are not
true even as the words fall from
his lips.
I will not discuss the fact that the
State in which the ceremony is
performed has already made pro-
vision by which the man can break
his word so far as sickness and
health" is concerned by arranging
that. in some kinds Of sickness. he
may get divorce, and that as soon as
they are pronounced man and
wife" in many States. the clothes
on her back and the wedding ring
with which the pact has been sealed
are not hers.
Woman Exploited In Home Life.
Girls begin life on q different
financial basis from boys. Anything
that they may do to make the fam
lily moro comfortable and happy Is
looked upon as her privilege and
duty and no one would dream OF
co1nrensatinS her for such labor;
hut II the boy does any chores
around the house Il is looked upon
as a work of supererogation and he
is always paid for il.

The after-lunch stroll round tile

Next to exercise is the matter of
clothing. On this point so much has

say that every part of the body must
be warmly covered. The boots must
be loose, the stockings thick, the
gloves lined and warm. the under

AS to applications to the skin,
some are Of real service when used

the elimination of the freakish craze for

finished with filmy lace which ended at

charges unless he has basis of fact,

There was an effort to get friends of

are large contributors to the Willis
