energies to the promotion of a cam

in the south, and bankers and bust

you did not ask such a question
You said that you presumed the up
shot of my theory was that you Were a

''Do you or do you not so regard
me?"
My opinion can have no effect on
the truth. If your intention to take up
profession is the result of birth acct
dent, so be it. Ny dictum would not
prove or disprove the fact"
There was silence for some moments,
during which the young lady was alb
sorbed In thought.
Gould you love such a woman
freak" she asked presently.
sMen love their opposites. No man
can feel toward another man as to-
ward a woman"
1T seems impossible" replied Dora,

rid freaks you speak of, how is 1t that
you could have loved me thus far?'

not so considered you"

Il do not agree with you in referring
these things to birth accident" she
said. I know a young man whose
only companion as a child was his sis
ter He Is very effeminate.
In this case possibly his effeminacv
came from environment, but | doubt
1t. In the case of women who possess
traits of men we have analogous cases
in certain birds. After a certain age
the female assumes the plumage of the
male and will destroy the eggs of her
species. This cannot result from en-
vironment, because environment could
not alter her pluma ge''
Miss Atterbury did not at all like
this result of her announcement of the
breaking of her engagement and the
reason she had given for breaking IT.
She began TO look troubled.
1.-THE upshot of all this" she said, 81
presume, is that l am a freak of ma
ture''
THAT does not necessarily follow"
replied the professor imperturbably.
Not necessarily, but 1t is evident
from what you have said that you con-
slider me such"
My views are not the views Of all
psychologists, and not all women who
adopt mems pursuits are yiragoes,

you have not answered my ques-
ton"
What question
The Watertown weekly leader. [volume] (Watertown, Jefferson County, Wis.) 1912-1917, 1917-02-21

You agree with me, l presume, that
a professional woman has no business
to be married?''
my reason lies deeper than that"
replied the professor, unconscicusly
falling into a tone used In lecturing to
his classes. You are aware, | pre-
sumo, that there are cases Of effem-
macy In men. Some psychologists hold
that this occurs from environment. |
do not admit this ! consider 1t the
result Of birth accident. Such men are
born effeminate-that is. they partake
mentally of the nature Of the opposite
sex"
81 cannot see," interrupted Dora,
what that has to do with the matter
between us
BE patient, and you will see The
corresponding accident to this In wo-
men, vira ginity, renders a woman as
much of a freak of nature as a man
who is born effeminate. Viragints take
up mems occupations naturally
do you mean to assert that all wo-
men who enter the field of law, medi-
cine, business, are yira gints?''
No, but | mean that yiragints natu-
rally turn to mems occupations"
The views promulgated by her fiance
were evidently not acceptable to Miss
Atterbury. In her features was ex-
pressed opposition to his theory, min.
gled with pain at foreseeing that he
was about to apply it to herself.

LACE GROWS ON TREES.
Panama Product May Take Place of
Mosquito Netting.


New Orleans, La.-Lace grows on
trees on the isthmus of Panama, and
the trees grow wild in the sWamps.
Captain L. w. Richards of the steam
ship Norwalk brought a fine sample,
not merely as curiosity. but to induce
tests as to the probable utility of the
plant or the tree in this section.
When the bark of the limbs is strip
ped there are rolls of filmy substance
of a texture very much like mosquito
netting. The size of these layers in
creases with the size of the tree, the
largest being about a foot in diameter.
The fabric is strong and can be sewn
without tearing.
The natives use the stuff in making
garments. Captain Richards believes
that by cultivation the trees may be-
come very valuable, and if the lace
layers cannot be enlarged some process
may be perfected by which they can be
Joined into a fabric which will make
the finest mosquito bar and may even
serve for summer raiment

proof as 1t is possible to attain In your
individual case"
You suspect on the verge of tears.
The professor took her in his arms.
Science gave way to tenderness, and
the debate ended in a multitude of
kisses.
Miss Atterbury preferred to do away
with all suspicion that she was a
freak by taking a husband instead of
a profession. He afterward confessed
that he had arrived at no definite con-
clusion upon the subject they had been
discussing and only promulgated his
theory to avoid losing har. Whether
or not he was correct, they lived hap
ply together ever afterward.

Their Engagement
Was Not Broken
BY F. A. Mitchell

Dora Atterbury was an especially
feminine young lady. Nevertheless she
was very bright. She distinguished
herself at college and after being
graduated engaged herself to Professor
Ernest Ballinger, young man equally
brilliant and whose speciality was BIZ
sology. They had been engaged some
time when the professor received q
note from his fancee asking to be re-
seased from her engagement for the
season that she had decided to study
q profession and she considered A
profession for woman incompatible
with married life. Professor Ballinger
called upon her.
Il think It best" he said, that
should release you"
There was a slight contraction of
Dora's brows at this. She had asked
to be released, but preferred that she
should be required to struggle for her
freedom.
