She simply will not stay within the nice, little fence of limi tations that has been built up around her. It must be awfully annoying to the| serious-minded ladies and gentle- j men who write ponderous general ties about her to have her always jumping up like a jack-in-the boxj and disproving them. But the reactionary ladies and ] gentlemen are patient and perse-' vering. They never allow themselves! to become discouraged. They see) women placidly knitting in the sun, j so they erect a neat cage for her! and then they stand back and say: "There! That's where she be longs. Now let's hope she will stay •put' for good!" And presently woman looks around and yawns, and says, "I don't like this old cage. It's damp and] unsanitary and the decorations are all out of date." So she promptly) demolishes the structure and walks! out. Again the busy ladies and gentle men are horrified. "The contrary beast!" they wail. "She's spoiled! another chapter of our great work, j We have Just proved logically, posi tively and irrefutably that the last cage defined the utmost limits of wo man's capability. And now she's toppled the whole thing over. All that's left to do is to hobble her and tie her to the tree of tradition." So they immediately perform that task. Woman bears it meekly for a little while. Then she kicks herself loose, pulls the tree down and goes on her way dragging it after her. Then there's another terrible flut ter in the dovecote, and the timor ous ladies and gentlemen begin toi prophesy all the horrible things that! will happen to the world if woman | can roam around at her own sweet: will.

They: would have neither brains norl nerves, and would be fortunate If! they possessed legs and arms. The laymen and doctors put up; a handsome argument, but as usual woman was mean enough to de-j molish it. Before my mental vision rises one particular woman who be fore her marriage flitted from' col- 1 lege to college gathering degrees j and postgraduate courses as lightly i as n boy collects postage stamps, and! H now the mother of five sturdy chil- I dren. Just now the dovecote minority are | shaking their heads and worrying| a great deal about the effects on! the future generation of woman's! present work in the munition fac tories. Gertrude Atlierton, in writing of j her visit to one of these establish-1 inents in France, says that the man-! ager told her that he made the ex-j periment of employing women with I the deepest misgiving. "Those seek-1 ing positions were just the sort of women he would have rejected if the sturdy women of the farms had applied. "Those who did apply," she says, "were girls or young married wo men who had spent all the working y*nrs of their lives stooping over sewing machines; sunken-chested workers In artificial flowers, confec tioners, waitresses, clerks. One and all looked on the verge of a de cline, with not an ounce of reserve vita'ity for work that taxed the en durance of men; but he made up his mind to employ them and fill up their planes, as rapidly as they col lar fcfd. , "He took me over his great es tablishment," she" goes on, "and showed me the result. It was one i I of the astonishing examples not only! ; of the grim courage of women under (Pressure but of that' nine-lived en | ilowment of the femalte in which the i male can never bring himself to be- I lieve save only when confronted by ! a practical demonstration. "The women had high chests and j I brawny arms. They tossed thirty .and forty pound shells from one toj I another as lightly as they may havei once tossed a cluster of artiucial! flowers. Their skins were clean and j 1 often ruddy. They showed no signs j | whatever of overwork and they were j almost without one exception, the| | original applicants." Ah, women are not nearly such | fragile flowers as many of the drones' among them and the sentimentalists J 1 of either sex like to think. No 'fact of current acceptance is! j more rapidly becoming a myth! ! than the claim that women are! | unfitted for any sort of work which | j they choose to undertake.* The fic tion of the "weaker sex" has been' ! pretty well exploded by the Rus-| ! sian women's Battalion of.

The women's committee of the Council of National Defense has| published a letter from a promi nent horticulturist, who says: "I want women to fill the places of men liable to draft or enlist ment, and I know the greatest re spect is shown to women who work in the orchards or on the farm." And there you are!

I All's Well That I Ends Well a BY JANE MeLEAX Enid Dray had met Les'ie Graham at a tea given by mutua. friends and each woman had Instantly liked the other. The liking probably sprang from opposite likes and dislikes, but neither knew it just then. Enid thought grudgingly of her tiny flat and her two small children, of her hard worked but loving husband and her exceedingly infrequent new clothes. She thought of all these things grudgingly, because she won dered what she had in her gray and shadowed life that might interest Leslie Graham. Leslie Graham had written a book, she knew interesting people, she probably hadn't another woman like Enid on her list of friends, and Enid resented this fact. And Leslie herself was thinking of what a sweet, utterly unselfish, little woman Enid was with her birdlike manner rind her soft caressing femininity. Les lie said afterward in discussing Enid with their hostess that she had rare ly met any woman she had liked so quickly. ' "Enid is a dear," said the other woman generously, "and she de serves all the credit in the world. She has two babies and not a very great deal to do with." And Enid, at home in the tiny flat with Emma, the little maid hur rying to get dinner on the table, was again envying the free untrammeled existance of Leslie Graham. When Rob came in Enid was full of the subject. "You've heard of her, haven't you dear? She has written such clever things." "Sure, I've heard of her," said Rob, anxious to please his wife, she has a brilliant career." "It must be wonderful to be looked up to by men and women and to do things in the world." "Don't you think you are doing things in the world?" Rob aslted a little wistfully. Now Enid was not selfish and she loved Rob and adored her babies and was happy and contented in her lim ited circumstances, and consequent ly she immediately rose to the occa sion, put herself and her troubled thoughts into the background, kissed her husband and told him that she was the happiest woman in the world. And he believed her and was contented, for Enid spoke the truth, or thought she did, until the vague thoughts came again and troubled her. Then Leslie Graham came to call. At least it could hardly be called that, for she dropped in one rainy afternoon to find Enid on the floor playing with the children. Brown little Barby peeped out shyly at the visitor behind thick black lashes, but sturdy Paul shook hands and asked Leslie if she liked marbles. Leslie was delighted. "I knew yoil must live in a home of this kind," she said to'laughing Enid. Enid raised her face questioningr ly - "l've been anxious to come and see you ever since I met you that day," Leslie went on. "Oil, but why?" protested Enid, "I live such a quiet, uneventful ex istence in comparison with your wonderful life and I must seem very stupid in comparison with the peo ple you meet every day." "What makes you think that?" "Why, I could hardly think any thing else." "Well, you're mistaken then. Yes, This is a season of bags for they serve all sorts of uses and the three that are illustrated are admirable. They are all capacious, they are all roomy, and they are all pretty.

Enid buret out quickly, catching Bar by up to her and suddenly feeling very proud. "Of course you do; then who are you to be envying me my career and I 3? un s I Women I Are Told How to Find ' JBt A Relief from Pain. Nashua, N.

"Of course I am, but Oh, the joy of meeting someone off the beaten track, someone genuine and with dif ferent interests.

Some thing about the feel of Barby's soft little body as she leaned confidingly against her mother, thrilled Enid, and Paul's quaint direct questions brought Rob vividly before her. Rob would be tired when he came home, she thought suddenly; she might go out and make some biscuits for din ner. "Twice blessed," Leslie Graham had said, as she looked enviously at Barby and Paul.

He volun tarily had a very intimate talk with me. It appears that his highest am bition in life is to succeed in busi ness through hard work. He says we are both very young and it will be about six or seven years before he will ever think of marriage. Now, what he wishes (in all good faith), is that we become very good friends. He has offered to take me out for a jolly good time often, but only in a comradeship spirit. A. F. D. I admire the young man's frankness. Real honesty i 3 rare, and the man who is capable of risking the loss of friendship rather than base it on un truth, is worth cultivating. You arc young and can well afford to cultivate a comradly understanding with senti ment. in the background, fc-ince you recognize that this sensible friendship is going to be of real value to you, why hesitate?

"I was suffering from severe head aches, and a general run down con- I ditlon, was weak and nervous and ! did my work with difficulty. "Did not sleep well and was all tired out in the morning. Was bothered with shooting pains up and down my back and limbs, my joints seemed to creak like a rusty hinge. "To sum it all up, I was gener ally shot to pieces, and was down in the mouth as a result of this con dition. "I saw Sanpan advertised, but paid little attention to it, but as I kept on seeing it day after day, I gave it a trial, and in quick timo it re stored me to health.
