WOMEN ARE CHANGING

Only year or so ago the mere men
ton of the fact that woman is to be
given the bollot in England would
have brought forth great flariug head
lines in teh newspapers The other
day The approval CT the new franchise
bill took place in parliament so puiet-
ly and with so little manifestation Of
interest that it was passed almost
unncticed by the reading public.
What does it oil mean" the hard
headed, once uncomprCmising English
man is asking
ut means" says Marie Corelli, the
novelist, chat womans's work after
the war will be very much on the
straight and simple lines of nature
love, sweetness, and homei That's
all woman's work, which she is Just
now compelled to neglect-but only
20 cling to it more when the madness
of the nations is passed"
Americans who, before the war,
were wont to seek out the places
of historic interest in Shakespeare'8
town, never failed to pause when they
came upon the beautiful uncovered
house which Miss Corelli has occupied
for some years.
Miss Corelli declares that she has
no fear for her sex.
he wheel goes round always, you
know, and in time stops at the same
cid place" asserts the novelist with
emphatic assurance. Grace, copuet-
ry, pretty appeared, and all the dainty
sweet things Of womaniDess will
come back again, again another Dan
te will muse en- another Beatrice,
another Petrarch on another Laura,
Again reverence for women and chiv-
airy will adorn the strength of man
hCCd-and slang and roughness be
things Of the past | love my sex, and
would have them all creatures of
beauty and joys forever"
81 have seen q great deal of womens
work in this war" says Miss Corelli,
"and l am sure their meter is affec-
ton, devotion, tenderness, and that
they hardly need the polling booth to
assert their claim TO consideration
But the vote will give them q rightly
won position in the affairs of the ma
ton. Good and brave men will always
pay them honor; they can do without
the admixture of politics in their lives,
still they may as well have it,
81 hope and believe Cae place wo-
man will occupy after the war will be
the old sweet place nature Intended
her form the home nest. with love
to guard and sanctify her existence.
She will soon be tired of prancing
around in trousers and working on the
land. Women are privileged to change
their minds, and about year ago |
changed mine from strong anti-suf-
irage to the other thing. In education
Al matters, women's votes and their
influence are imperatively necessary "
