1t seems inevitable that all books
about woman must contain considera-
BILE element of tarradiddle. Mr.. Thomp-
sons book is not free from this. One
of the matters that have worried fem
lnists has been the elimination of the
woman's name in marriage. Some ardent
feminists have got round this by retain
ing after marriage their maiden names.
Mr.. Thompson solves the question
blithely with hyphen. when Mr.
Lancaster marries Miss York the name
Of that family will be Lancaster York"
This is all very well for one genera
ton. But when William Lancaster York
marries Jane Guelph things
become more complicated. And by the
time young Mr.. Lancaster " k-Guelph-
Ghibelline, in the next generation, comes
to marry Miss Smith-Jones-Brown-
Eulenspiegel the matter has become
really serious. When we get to the
great grandchildre of the original
hyphenates the name has become so ex-
tended that the poor descendants find it

economic world that she must find her
freedom
There is nothing new in all this, but
we like to watch Mr.. Thompson's rhetori-
cal skyrockets.
He holds man responsible for womanS
disabilities, but Anna Riley Hale in THE
Eden Sphinx puts most of the blame on
woman herself. While she admits that
woman unhappily married or unhappily
unmarried has right to grumble, she
insists that in the main her misfortunes
are her own fault. AS for the woman
movement" the root of it is sex dissatis-
faction.
The author makes a fairly rational
plea against her sex until she takes up
the struggle between capital and labor,
which is filling the world with strife"
and points out that mothers are response
BILE for this, because both the capitalist
and the laborer started life as babies
With similar logic it can be proved that
mothers are responsible for everything
unpleasant, from the war to fried pars-
nips.

other for better pay and hours she did
not understand.
She was seventy years old when the
Illinois ten-hour law was contested in
the courts. Her employer wanted her to
testify for him that she could not sup
port her aged mother unless she were
allowed to work nights, and she agreed,
hut the night before she was to appear
in court a great light came to her and
she realized that she was being disloyal
TO her fellow workers.
In a panic lest she be held tC her
promise to testify, the old woman de-
serted her job and moved her helpless
family to another part of Chicago. After
that she did odd jobs of scrubbing in
cheap restaurants until her hands be-
came so swollen with rheumatism that
she could no longer hold a scrubbing
brush. Then they all went to the poor
house.
Somehow that woman seems quite as
heroic as the Amazons whose sangui-
nary exploits Mr.. Thompson details with
such enthusiasm.

Jane Adams in "The Long Road OF
Woman's Memory" deals with a class of
women different from the zenana ladies
of Mr.. Thompson or the luxurious NAL
contents of Anna Riley Hale. In COM
mon with the great mass of women.
those Miss Adams writes about have
no time to lie on silken cushions or the
orize about their misfortunes. Her book
it is probably the most interesting
Miss Adams ever wrote-is filled with
remarkable stories about women, true
stories.
There is, for instance, the tale Of the
woman who supported her invalid
mother and half-witted sister for fifty
years. She worked in a box factory and
had to keep at the job fast and furiously
to maintain her family. Wages for piece
work fell lower and lower, so that she
had to work overtime, far into the night.
Naturally the other workers hated her
for her fendish pace-setting But when
they talked about standing by one an

HERE ARE fesses Vance Thompson IN
WOMEN woman" Inevitably, IN
spite of myself, l think of
;he Head of John the Baptist" That is
2 curious statement and curious habit,
Int Mr.. Thompson has a sensitive soul
and symbolic mind. There is no rea-
son why a woman carrying tea tray
should remind him of John the Baptist
rather than of the Mad Halter or Queen
Victoria. Mr.. Thompson himself does
NOT in the least resemble John the Bap-
fist. His literary style, at any rate, IS
much more akin to that of Billy Sunday,
a more successful and prosperous evan
gelist. 1--WE are up against the cogency
Of womanhood," cries Mr.. Thompson
warningly. and in spite of ourselves we
think of Billy screaming from his table.
Amidst the dark food of war litera-
ture a book about the woman's move
ment still hobs up now and then to re-
mind us that after the thunder OF mans
artillery has spent itself, in few
months or in ten or twenty years, the
voices of the women will be heard again
The women outnumbered the men in all
the civilized countries before the war,
and the longer the artillery thunders the
greater will be their numerical prepon-
derance. In Great Britain, and probably
in Russia and the United States, after
the war they are going to have direct
voice in political affairs, and wherever
they get equal suffrage they can outvote
the men any time they make up their
minds to it. This possibility lends an
added interest to the books about won1-
an written at this time.
We want to know what she is going
to do about everything.
"a girl who has docility," wrote
Hannah More, century and quarter
ago. twill seldom be found to want
understanding enough for all purposes
of a social, happy and an useful life"
That sounds like pretty old stuff now,
for it is generally conceded, even by the
most conservative writer's, that docility
is no longer sufficient to carry woman
through. In their recent books both MIR.
Thompson, who is for the enlargement
of the sphere of woman, and Anna Riley
Hale, who is against it, 60 far beyond
the traditional docility. Mr.. Thompson
believes woman is arriving and is about
to do great things in this muddled world,
but Anna Riley Hale is more pessimistic
about her.
In "Woman" Mr.. Thompson asserts
that in our man-made society woman
has since early times been forced to live
in a coop. Naturally in this coop-life
she has deteriorated physically and men,
tally. "She Tolls on a rug by the fire
because drowsy memories of the zenana
have pulled her down. She lies and
cheats and wheedles the male because
that was once her only defence against
tyranny. She is silly-because men,
liking pretentious Stiffness, once made
lady of her. She is fat-because she
still has the physical heredity of coop
life"
The Amazons broke out of the coop
and discarded both skirts and fat.
Mr.. Thompson commends highly those
rather terrifying females of the species
who really got free. He says:
"Woman's first giant-step toward
comradely equality will have been taken
