on entirely satisfactory portrait OF a

opes AID ENDS

At many bridge teas. especially
where women only are present, the
rule is not to play for money, not
even for pennies, but to play for a
prize instead or only for amusement's
sake, pure and simple, and not for
gain of any kind
The bridge guests at ordinary bridge
afternoons include married women,
widows and unmarried women of an
uncertain age. but not girls; they are
not encouraged to play and are not
invited to join these parties, which are
cstensibly given for their elders. In
inviting guests to bridge at home it
as usual to include two or three more
than can play at the same time-in

should be compelled by an engagement

There are also the brilliant society
women, the suffragettes, the women
workers in the novels Of IL modern
man, sketched with more or less &C.
curacy. but 1t is the most difficult
thing In the world to name novelist
who has succeeded In printing the
everyday type OF the modern woman.
the woman who doesn't go to extremes
but who is typical of the best that the
age has brought us. The modern male
novelist sees only one side of the
modern woman. He doesn't trouble to
walk around her and see every side.
Unusual Types.
Most novelists who are said to un.
derstand women have won their repu.
taticn in their skill at portraying un-
drama and literature is surely that it
is not necessary to be unusual In order
to be interesting.
There is Hardy, for instance "Tess
Of the d'Urbervilles'' is one of the
greatest books that were ever writ
ten. II is brimful Of understanding
and sympathy and pity. 1t is proba-
bly, the greatest study OF a certain
type OF femininity that has been given
to the world. But the soul Of Tess
is not the soul OF the modern woman
There is Ibsen's Norah, in "A Dolls
House" This Is a wonderfully illu-
minating picture OF certain type of
woman. For dramatic purposes her
characteristics had to be exaggerated
Even SO, she still remains unusual, alb
normal The soul of Norah is not the
soul OF the modern woman.
And one may go through the gall
lery of women-the women of Shaw,
and Arnold Bennett and Galsworthy,
and Hall Game. and the rest.
And the more deliberate and clear.
ly defined the attempt to draw wo-
mans soul the more OF failure
You have TO 60 to the women writ.
ers to find understanding studies of
their sex as il Is today and that brings
one to the question OF what is meant
by the essentially modern woman.
A Touch OF Reality
BY the modern woman is meant not
the militant suffragette who is an ex.
IRENE type. not the womsn who shuns
motherhood because she desires to
win professional success. not the girl
who lives on the golf links and who
has no conversation that does not sa-
yor OF sport. We mean the finely ball
anced woman with the primitive W0-
mans love or husband and home and
Honolulu star-bulletin. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu, Hawaii]) 1912-2010, 1915-05-22

cnil0r6n, WHO mas Seen the glory OF
the wider outlook on life, the out
look that embraces more than one
viewpoint. We mean the woman
perhaps actress, perhaps writer, per-
haps school teacher who can combine
with the splendor of work and the
expression OF God.given talents a real
love Tor and care of her home and
children. We mean the woman who
does not care only for, home or ca
reer. but for both the woman who
can be as interested In the making of
a pudding as she is in the making Of
a political society.
And the type is not uncommon.
More and more are we finding that
the modern woman is combining all
that past ages have taught her with all
that the new age can teach her, and
il Is this type OF woman which is so
little understood by men noyelists
One has to go to the French novel
lists for perfect understanding of the
type of woman so common in botl
countries, but more fully perfected il
France.
1t is the well balanced. humorous
sensible mother. eager for opportuni.
ties of social service yet interested in
the home, and the professional worker,
busy arranging a career but not in
different to the call of little Children,
who are characteristic of this age,
and these are types that men novel.
lists seem unable to understand and
appreciate. The unreal. superficial
women OF Shaw, the melancholy. self,
mistrusting women of Hardy, the abb
normal creatures of Brieux, should be
scralped. and will be when there
comes along a man novelist interested
enough in the ordinary tyre of today's
woman to study her, and understand.
ing enough to sketch her with the
touch OF reality.
