w HAT is
A GOOD
WOMAN?

THERE are good women; there are
better women; there are hest
women.
There are comparatively good women
positively good women and superla-
lively good women; and all these
definitions are modified by time, place,
climate and temperament.
Good women appear in public places
and before men here in America with
uncovered faces and shoulders, but in
Turkey no good woman could do this,
because It is not the custom, and would
offend.
The good woman does not offend
purposely or Wantonly. h submits
TO the inconvenience and discOmfOrts
of tradition until she can see some
reasonable prospect of betteylnG the
race by defying the conventions.
The comparatively good woman lives
a harmless life, avoids WoundtnE any
one, and submits to all manner Of in
Justice at the hands Of society because
she dislikes to make a fuss or attract
attention or disturb existing orders.
The positively good woman lives an
actively good life, under the same con-
ditions, putting herself to great trouble
to help others and trying to overcome
the results of injustice without essay
ing to remove the cause.
Good Woman Attends to Duty First
The s~uperlatively good woman does
all this and more. She attends to the
nearest duty first-relicves distress
and bestows sympathy; but she is brave
enough to attempt an attack on estab-
lished traditions when they stand in
the way Of the progress OF the human
race, even though the attacks bring
suffering and pain upon herself
Mary Livermore, Julia Ward Howe,
Victoria woodruff, Lucretia Mott,
Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady
stanton, were all s~uperlatively good
women. Refined, sensitive and beau
tifuI souls, they suffered from the bru-

only relative she knew. as her mother
had abandoned her when she was p
wee baby.
Susie was a simple, shy little girl
and gave her grandmother no trouble.
When she was about Il years OLD heL
mother who after a rather checkered
career had landed in FL Paso, began
to think of her child. h started
writing to the old home in Kentucky.
FINDING that the child was alive and
old enough to be of some help, the
mother sent the money for susie s
railway fare to FL PasO and urged the
child to come to her at once. The
grandmother did not wholly trust her
hayward daughter, from whom she had
not heard in so long a time and did her
best to prevent Susie from leaving.
Susie Comes to FL PasO.

and the thought Of seeing her long lost
