PRICE 10 CENTS

Academy, Is the real reason for the growth of the woman suffrage movement. "The young women of halt 8 century ago who did wool work also wasted FhI usands of hours of valuable time in practising -n piano." said Sir William, "in nine cases out of ten she had no inclination for music, and is now as dcfunct as her grandmother who swcOned in graceful attitudes OIL every occasion. Women nowadays are taking up a more aggressive position in the world; they travel uuchaparoned; they ride alone in t3xis, and live like bachelors by themselves iu flats, if they think fit, without scandal They want to live their own lives; they do not want to get married or expect it. They initiate men as far as they can in their attire. They smoke cigarettes, and lead usetUl lives as clerks, tyDists, telegrapLers, actu- aries, doctors, and take up a hun dreI other occupations which were formerly the sole occupation of men. They do not want men; they re learning to be independent of them.
 T do not pretend that all women who follow these occupations are of this class, but I maintain that there is a large and growing pro- portion of what is practically a third sex. Inasmuch as the proportion cr men over women is increasing, see no harm in it but good. Spinster- hood is 10 longer the reproach it once was, and women lead far more interesting and brighter lives than they ever did before"
