THE WORLD HAS STOPPED
 TALKING ABOUT WOMEN

The only agreeable thing to be re- corded Ir connection with Europes sudden and disastrous war is the fact that peoI lc stopped talking about women. and began to talk about men.
 For the asst few years. women have nersistenu- occuiped the front of the stage. and men have seemed a negli- gil Ie fact)r: useful in their imperfect way, b u- hopelessly improblematic. Then Austria delivered it's ultimatum Germany marched it's armies across peaceful eJrth. and men, plain men. be- came supremely important. as defend CTS of their imperiled homes. Tn this swift return to primitive conditions. primitive qualities reasserted their val ue. France, Belgium. England called to their sons for succor. and the arms of these men were strengthened be- cause they had women to protect.
 X casual study of newspapers before and after he proclamation of war is profoundly instructive. Even the illus tratei paDers and periodicals tell their tale and spare us the printed page. Pictures O. recruits in place of club women Pictures of camps in place of convention halls. Pictures of Red Cross nurses bending over hospital beds, in place of miiitants raiding Buckingham Palace. Pictures of peaceful ladies sewing and knitting for soldiers in place of formidable committees batting MT. Wilson, or pursuing the more elus- i've Mr. Asquith. Pictures of pitying young girls handing cups of broth and the ever welcome cigarettes to weary volunteers in place of suffragists har anguins the mob of Hyde Park.
 Never was there sucn a noteworthy illustration of Scott's archaic line
 O. woman in our hours of ease.
 Never did the simplicities of life so triumphani.y efface it's complexities.
