Femlnism is the first attempt since
the days of chivalry to think clearly
and talk straight on this woman bust
ness, to call things by names that shall
square with the facts and not with the
appearance of the facts. II is woman
suffrage with the bark off, for while
woman suffrage wants us to change
our ways of doing toward women,
femininism demands that we change
our ways of thinking about women.
Feminism is the crust on the loaf of
mans daily bread. and the lOafer who
knows on which side his bread is but
tered will eat crust with cruDb. Il is
the lemon on the peach tree in the gar
den of love. and wise is the man who
has sense enough to give that lemon
ade. 1t is the lantern of Diogenes to
search out and find an honest man,
even under his wife's washtub.
Feminism is the acid test of mans
chivalry and of wOman's sincerity

VALUE OF OUTDOOR
Only Those Familiar With Freedom'

Too many people are merely a.

heated comforts. They forget IN
their ancestors lid not know what n

There died not long ago natural

loved the mountains and the natural

was a happy one. He died amid the

1t is only those who know the free

This same advice can be applied to-

not to take advantage Of it.
II parents would only see that their

their shoes are sound and that their

Not Of Courses but Dishes

Three courses seem to have been the
customary menu in medieval times for
a state banquet, less ceremonial feasts
comprising only two, and no private
dinner more than one. But each course
might comprise from eight to a dozen
different dishes. Thus at the wedding
banquet of Henry V there were only
three courses, yet over 80 different
dishes are mentioned in the records
irrespective of fruits and wines.-Lon,
