Miss Hazel MacHayc, author and d.
rector of the pageant, expects moro of
the woman of the future than mere
beauty.
She will have intellect and heart TO
feel the throbbing of life all about her I'm
the world. She viii not be self-centred.
She will have purpose to live useful lie
/ and physical strength TO carry out her
desires. Mrs. Bossevain seems TO me 10
/ represent all these things In her own Ire.
/ She does not merely talk about the future
+ woman; she is one.
The prize beauty" OF the votes Tor
women army was discovered in her home
surrounded by a dozen clamoring shop
girls who use her drawing room every
week for q dance hall.
1.-The women OF the future? Why, l
don't know what they will be like she
gasped. "I can only tell you what I hope
they will be.
They are going TO be happier than we
are, and better pals. Men are going TO
like them better | think men hate the
shrinking violet type even now, but they
don't dare profess their admiration for
the new woman, because she Is the object
Of common disapproval. The woman who
goes ahead and does things without hot
airing about votes Is always liked by the
men who meet her in business. They
might DO afraid of her If they knew she
was suffragist, but since they don't
know It It does them no harm.
The women of the future will be so
completely on equal terms with men that
they will propose marriage II they want
70 II will be n question simply OF which
is quicker witted. The woman as rule
even now thinks OF marriage before the
man does This so sudden business is
all bunk. why subject woman TO the hui
initiation Of waiting? There is nothing
moro dreary or more ridiculous than the
s,sht OF a woman waiting and hoping day
after day, year after year for some man
e speak.
Ten to one the man will take to the
idea at once.
The woman will say:
why not let's get married? and the
man answers
Say, that's fine idea. never
thought Of It, but I like it
1.-The power of free choice in love is OF
course bound up in economic freedom.
As long as a girl is dependent on her
father TO support her until she gets n
husband she will have to get one as soon
as she cantor fathers sake"
'"rhe man she marries knows this lie
knows she married him because she had
10. and after the first flush OF the honey
moon he treats her accordingly Unless
a woman is economically Independent she
n7ds herself n secondary parsonage, both
in the home she leaves and in the one
sine enters. As a matter or fact the
woman who helps build up a home and
invests her husbands money should be
regarded as an equal partner with him
I'm the business OF homemaking. She
should be given half the income. They
viii agree about the division OF the
household expenses, but ono thing l
promise-no man of the future will be
bothered with his wife's millinery bills.
They will be none of his business.
"If woman OF the future wants 70

ries. she will be allowed TO do so. That
problem will have 10 be settled. however.
by the individuals. We cannot lay down
the law about 1t now. In the majority ot
