WOMEN
AVoinan'fl place, ns In tho home, recolve3
littlo iccognltlon from tho magu2lnc8 ns
compared with tho Interest In her activities
nnd tendencies. Of 14 nrtlclcx In tho cur
rent magazines, concerned wholly or In pnrt
with women, only ono denls with tho woman
of tho old regime. Thirteen portray tho
woman of today. Two of theao concetti
women and tho war. Four talco up special
phases of tho modern woman's life, her clubs,
her business life, her stylo of dressing, her
morals. It Is significant ns Indicating tho
serious nnd unabated interest In tlio ab
stract discussion of tho woman question, thut
hnlf tho articles seven of them are about
fomlnism nnd suffrage.
rrnurmice of the Past
Woman's Increasing activities have mado
publicity about her so much n mutter of
courso that It Is dimcult for us today to
realize tho painfulncss, for her, nf llrst break
ing Into that bright whlto light, or how great
Is tho (Ustnnce that women have covered,
even In tho lust decade.
Tho name of Emily Dickinson, u poet of
only tho last generation, stands out con
spicuously among those of American women
of gonluH. Her poetry, published nfter her
death, lias a dcllcatoly chiseled beauty,
which has won her lasting recognition. Hut
her life wns that of a recluse, and sho could
never hiook any hint of notoriety. Her
niece, Martha Dickinson Hlnnchl, of Am
herst, has gathered Into nn nrtlclo (1) some
quaint relics of her aunt whimsical notes,
virginal fancies, tronchant epigrams. Sho
writes of Miss Dickinson:
Her lovo for humanity was unfnltorlng.
and sho speaks for nil lovers when sho
writes, "Twilight touches Amherst with his
jollovv glove. Miss mo .sometimes, dear, not
on most occasions, but In tho scldoms of tho
mind."
Sho never showed to her own family what
sho wrote. Thoy never dared nsk to see.
Her timidity awed their love, and Now Eng
land reservo completed tho deadlock. Onco,
and only once, m mother published a poem
of hois incognito, nnd when she showed It
to Aunt Emily In tho durkness of cntlro pri
vacy she wns teniflcd for the result of her
experiment the little white moth fluttering
helplessly, all a-tremblo. rendy to dlo of the
experience nnd bo found on the floor not
morning a more hint of winged dust.
Sho seemed to know the world by Intui
tion, but she shrank from Its knowing her;
not from any feeling of Impotence, not be
cnuso sho wns deprived of anything or at
nny disadvantage but from a fierce unrea
soning Instinct like thut which sends tho
soft, bright-eyed wild things flying from uh
in the forest.
Woman and War
Wo nro sated with the horrois of war In
big figures. It Is tho individual story, told
barely and simply, that leaves a mist In tho
eyes. Will Irwin tells such a story (2):
AVhoro nil must suffer, It Is ignoble to In
dulge grief publicly. A little salesgirl In n
Parisian cigar shop wns engaged; thoy
should havo been married In the autumn.
Tho war took him away. A communicative
American used to chat with Iter au no
bought his morning cigar. Ho know her
story.
"Any news?" ho asked ono morning, and
then caught full sight of her faco and
stopped. "Non, monsieur, pas do nouvollos,"
she said, and looked quickly down at her
work. Then he noticed for tho first tlmo that
sho was sewing a black ribbon on her hat.
" 'That Day' in Paris" (3) was the second
of August, the day of mobilization, when In
ono long, sad day Paris was snipped of her
men nnd left a stricken city of weeping
women, Estclle LoomlH describes it with a
rather fomlnino superlntlveness, hut giving
vivid pictures of the desolation nnd grief.
Sho had gono to tho Garo de l'Kst, where tho
soldiers were entraining:
I saw thos6 partings at tho gate, thoso
kisses and embraces; I saw tlioso men show
their little military books and disappear,
many of them forever. It was often the
husband who broke down, not the wife; and
I didn't miss that woman who clung to tho
lips of that man till she had to be pulled
away. And I watched that mother, too,
crowding hor way back to tho fence to call
out. "Charles, Chariest" nnd hand her son
his forgotten medicine. And tho lady who
pulled oft her ring nnd screamed, tho prosti
tute who wept down her paint nnd fainted.
Two women, strangers to each other, turned
away, both weeping. Ono was a motherly
looking old soul, gray; tho other was a
smartly dressed Parlslenne. A movement In
the crowd a big man elbowing his way in
brought them together faco to faco. Tho
big man passed by mo. AVhen next I saw
them tho girl's arm was around the old
lady's waist.
Cassandra and the War
It is quite a different phase of the war that
Dora Marsden presents In a gloomy and fore
boding prophecy. Miss Marsden, once promi
nent In settlement nnd suffrage work, "ad
vanced" out of that stago to founding a very
radical weekly, The Freewoman. Current
Opinion quotes tho following from a recent
article of hers In The Egotist, Another rad
ical English weekly (4):
The war still the vvar-r-lias brought tho
wordy contest about women's rights to an
abrupt finish, and only a few sympathetlo
words remain to be spoken over the feminist
corpse.
Every form of self-responsible power de
mands not last, but first capable physical
self-defense. One might venture to say it
would be Impossible to And in these Islands
any "advanced" woman who haa not felt
herself made into something of a fool by
the unequivocal evidence as to the position
of women presented by the war, not merely
In the countries actually devastated by the
war, but hero In England. They find that
they may busy themselves with efforts to
protect their less "protected" sisters; they
may have the honor of being allowed to
share in their country's defense by dint of
knitting socka; or serve, as one ungallant
soldier put it, by providing one of the "hor
rors of war" as a Red Cross nurse. In the
war area Itself they form part, along with
the rest of the property of the spoils of the
conquered. One cannot easily refrain from
the inference that, though they have weak
ened the pull of the pld-womanly omp
tence, the "advanced women" have dpne very
little In the way of furnishing the nevwary
foundations for Ita successor.

Crinoline Crinkles
Truo to Us tradition of saying whatever it
pleases, Town Topics Sauntercr hns this to
say of tendencies in tho fashions (7):
Not tho crlnollno, please! AVo have en
dured tnoro or less pntlontly tho vagaries in
woman s dross, from sheath skirts to trou
sers, but wo draw tho lino nt crinoline, tho
zoppolln of dress. Tho steady conservatism
and admirable courtesy of tho men, whllo
their wives nnd daughters and oven tholr
mothers nnd grandmothers havo been
stripping themselves to tho nkln for public
inspection, deserve a bettor reward than tho
roturn of tho eugenic oncelnto stylo, of which
a frantic poetess wrote:
"It tips up behind, it tips up beforo:
Can't sit in a scat, can't get through a door."
In a dramatic criticism, Francis Hackett
gives a scmlphllosophlcal treatise on women
nnd morals and asks a pertinent question as
to tho relation between relaxing standards of
morals off and on tho stago. Ho writes (8) :
Thcro was a tlmo In tho Amorlcnn theatre
when the dramatist alluded to an "unchaste"
woman us a rhetorician alludes to tho
behemoth. In France, It wob pleasantly al
lowed, women graded anywhere from a faint
pink to a scarlet too hot for naked oyes, but
in America women wore cither aa Innocent
ns snow or as unmcntlonnblo ns lopers. That
a woman could "transgress" was ndmtttcd.
but sho proporly stood on an island of mo
nognmy Biirroundcd by an ocean of dlsaa
proval, and that ocean was Infested by every
hoi ror of tho deop, serpents, sharks and
svvordflsh. beasts to which the male was
moro or less immune, but to which the fe
male was as carrion to the crow.
And now, unashumed on the American
Htoge, appears tho open record of a woman
who has no moro prejudice nbout chastity
ns nuch than a broker has about loanB. In
"Tho Song of Songs" tho four walls of as
sumptions nbout chastity aro fallon com
