is the Fools":
when the ladles ro to work I want
them. If It Is possible for them to do
so, to forget that they arc women.
Now most of them peek to "Kct by"
with a flirtatious glance. Very few
think of doing their work efficiently.
Very few are wllllnir to better their
understanding of life bv hard work.
They are great on dances, but slackers
on brain development. Dresses, smiles,
handclasps and artiflclnl physical
beauty are their wenpons In the battle
of life, not hard work. If nil women
must work and only a few men are
left In In Industry to exploit we shall
soon see an end to the demand for
"women's rights," for they'll grow
tired of standing in street cars, soiling
their pretty hands and abandoning
totally me lire or anarcnistic gayety
which they really prefer. That Is
why I am In favor of "voles for
women" as well as Jobs for them, be
cause I know once they get a real
taste of what they are demanding
they'll beat a straight retreat.
Certain female spiders eat the
males who have courted them success
fully. It's a woman's instinct, you
see, to exploit the male. He becomes
her meal ticket : at least it was so
before the war and will be again as
soon as the men return.
"Men should awaken to the fact that
woman Is no goddess. She Is the
greatest hypocrite imaginable, for she
Is not essentially different from man,
but poses constantly as something set
aside, apart by the gods
Of course I realize then are ex
ceptions to the general rule My wife,
who died three years ago. was one nf
the exceptions. My sister Is another.
ftlv mother, who died when I w.ib four
years old, never danced, rouged or
went to cabarets. Of course she was
'another exception. But I have known
very few other women like them, and
w alwavs iudge the world by our
SWtV'l own experiences.
I would like to make an answer on
some of these points.
F
N THE first place, my friend, who
owns up to thirty r?ars, I would
like to say I find all people on the
whole marvelously good. For In
stance, because I have watched a
ureat army of young men clock watch
ers year after year, I would not
dream of saying all young men think
only of getting out and nwav from
the office at 5 o'clock Because I
have seen boys of twenty-two vears of
age pour themselves into coats three
sizes too small for them nnd men of
thirty-five with little waxed tooth
pick mustaches, and then again
youth trying desperately to get an
all-season's coat of tan on a one day's
trip to the shore T have not decided
all men are exceedingly vain and
foppish. Because I have sat bv the
hour and listened to man regnle me
with conversation about himself I
have not gone out In the garden una
decided all of his brothers were ego
tists. Because I have seen the sweetest
Blrl In the world bury her whitest
dream when a man who had gone
around with her for four years
went away without asking her to
marry him, I have tried to turn
my face to the stars. Because
-"through hundreds of letters from
girls 1 have discovered utter un
falth In young men who go from
home to home telling In each place the
same storv of love, I have not called
men hypocrites. Because I have seen
men with the hail-fellow-well-met
face to tho world bully their wives
and finally leave them, I have merely
bitten my lips. Because T know youns
men who will do everything to help
win the war except take a gun and go
over there and fight. I have not passed
judgment on the others.

In discussing women In war work
it is too obvious to point to the (lite

You ask that women in work forcet
they are women. I am sure von refer

IHAVK said wo women In wartime
make no extravagant claims for
ourselves. We have kept good faith
with tho great Job dealt out to us
when the good Cod allotted tasks in
tln human family. I am old-fashioned
enough tn believe that mothers have a
great deal to do with the making of
sons. We have reared children and to
the tune' of the endless music of little
voices wo have given all that was In
our hearts In the wav of love and sac
rillce. For voti, we have cooked food
only to have It eaten and to have to
rook some more. We have said good

forth on your dally great adventure,

to the kitchen and wash dishes that '

pay!
Please read this little paragraph 1

biography of H. C. Witmer, and It
savs what I mean
"A woman gives everything, asks
less in return than a stockholder In
anv other going concern, and never
draws dividends in nroportion to her
original Investment, herself, because it
Is Impossible for any man to get
enough of anything to pay them, how

O nnTtrriN to lluth. she went
through the day dazed, bewildered.
It wasn't until afternoon when she went
to see Mrs. Raymond, that she felt at
all like herself and then It was because
she forced herself to be natural and to
really bring Mrs. Raymond the friendly
companionship she had planned.
Mrn Raymond had always offended
Ruth's Ideas of what a mother should
be. That Is to say her Ideas on the'
subject before she thought very much
about mothers and their relationship to
young people. Mrs. Rtymond was slen
der and young and possessed that alert
something that was so much a part of
Scott. Ruth had always thought her
too young for her age she had once
remarked to some one that Mrs. Ray
mond lacked dignity. This afternoon
as she met lier. she wondered how in
her very youthful mind she could have
thought of such n thing.
There wa nothing stately and grand
about the Raymond apartment. In the
first place It was old-fashioned old-
