The Modern Woman

MANY modern women are too en-.
1'l crossed IN themselves 20 grasp
the justice and the logic Of their new
position: and the American man Is
too indulgeutly generous and also too
unconscious Of himself 20 be deeply
concerned. IL tho American mar
Is one-sided and his character suffers
certain defects. and II no has not
yet cut his wisdom teeth In matters
OF business-particular on the
humhnis;ic side, in which women
are By natural genius more skilled
a generous share OF the blame must
be placed on the American wife.
frankly consider Il more logical that
leaders OF women snould TAX about
and plan for responsibilities as wives
rather than excite themselves over
mstic9lous qualities OF rights. so
long as II remains a fact that nine.
tsnths OF women wish wifohood rs
their sole profession. The benefits
OF sheer wifehood under modern con.
ditions OF semi.luxury. idleness and
American male attitude are pro-
nounced and obvious. they so weigh
down the wff.'s side Of the scale, in
fact. that II Is small w5nIer that
men are waking out Of their chfvalric
dream and cynically inquiring why
they should marry.-From the De.
signer magazine for July.
