BY BEATRICE FAIRFAX.

Ever since the world began men have
been going out on the warnath or to the
chase and bringing home the fruits of
their strength. Ever since the world be-
gan women have been sitting at home
doing the weaving and the baking and
the sewing and pinning and making
themselves desirable so that men might
want to lay the gifts of the chase and
the spoils of war at their feet.
Has our country changed any OF that?
Decidedly yes in practice of living. de-
cidedly no in practice of loving.
We women go to the offices and the
factories and the stores and work side by
side with men. We go to the polls and
vote with men in some states and coun-
tries and shall do so in more and more.
But because human nature has de-
veloped and human beings express them
selves in new ways does not mean that
human nature has changed. Human ma
ture has grown along natural lines.
Women have freedom in work and free
dom in play. But men are still the hunt
ers and conquerors, and they do not
fancy seeing a woman come out in the
open as husband-seeker and mark down
the victim she chooses to hunt

possesses something of the concealing
power of the chromatic patterns with
which leopards, tigers and zebras are
covered.

1t would seem natural suggestion that
this principle should have an important
application to military aetoplanes and
dirigibles. Contrary to what might at
first sight be deemed probable it is likely
that white, or pale gray, rather than
blue, would be the most effective color
for an aerial craft which was to be rem

In the earlier days of warfare armies
generally wore uniforms calculated to
make them terrifying, rather than in

the ''pugnacious red has passed, and
now natures method, which tends to
utilize the principle of optical deception
and illusion for both attackers and de-
tenders, Is being followed. In our day the

Much thought has been given in late
years to the subject OF maternity. In
the cities there are maternity hospitals
equipped with modern methods. But
most women prefer their own homes and
IN the towns and villages must prefer

from the great many splendid letters
written on the subject that our Mothers

Go to the public library and ask for
help in a course of reading along the
lines OF history and literature. You might
begin with Greek and Roman history and
come up through the Medieval and Renais-
sance TO the history OF modern times.
Then read good poetry. Biography and the
drama-as well as few OF the standard
novels. The editorial pages OF the papers
and the better weeklIes and monthlies
will help you in your knowledge OF cur
