WHEN WOMAN STOOPS.
THE PRICE OF SEX EQUALITY.
[BY ADNER KOELTON CASTLE.)
When lovely woman stoops to folly, And finds too inter that men betray, What charm can soothe ber melancholy
What art can wash her tears away!”
Oliver Goldsmith naked this pathetie question, and be thus still more pathetic: ally, not to say lamentably, answered it:
The only art her guilt to cover, To hide her shame from av ty eye, To give repentance to her lover, And wring his bosom, is-to die!" About 150 years ago these were evidantly. the sentiments current on the eternal problem" of "love's betrayals. From that to the modern -young "Wömen, who fanni about restaurants with the partners of, what the eighteenth century port calls, their guilt, while divorce proceedings åre still actually in process, what, a step b so great," indeed, that it can scarcely bo called a step, but a precipico.
They introduce the new cavaliera gaily to their friends: Have you mat my co-respondent?'
„To change husbands is to them' 's no more serious, no mozo #onl-disturbing, episode than to change partners at dance.
Life has become a kind of dense, in fins for much of our young womanhood --a dance toja jazz band,
ONE-SIDED CODE.
Without aharing Goldsmith's point of viewwhich is indeed, the very opitome of exaggeration and proclaims an attir tude which might well drive every think ing woman into revolt at the masculine conception of their relative relations one may ask whether, evil for evil, the present emancipation is not more demoralising for society at large, and worse in the end for woman bersell, that the old one-sided code!
Faradoxically, too, it may be a question whether woman had not a higher position then than KOW, True, she had not the vote; the civil life was not open to ber Had the, however, less influence I doubt it. The higher the ideal of woman's conjugal conduct is placed, the better for berself, for the nation, and the genera tiona to pome; the stronger, too, will be;, woman's power over the world.
Woman rushing into the arena boskin ed and panoplied as the male, is, en aa- she runs, Singing, away her crown and sceptre...
Her rula from the beginning was the more irresistible and pervading that it" was not a tyranny but an inspiration
"
DESCENDING TO THE MIN.
So much is claimed for woman now in the way of equally with man that the licence towards which man's grösser matano haa always tanded Hastacinally become part of the new feminine programms. In the Erantia doctrine that the sexes muat at all costa be on the same level, woman's effort is not to raise man to her height, but to descend, herself, to big lowest plan... It is a reaction, and perhaps a no u natural reaction, from the unfair Ba ventions under which she has so long suf- fered. Navar indeed have these convent tions been more naively exposed thazi în the verses quoted above. The wo
to go to the extrame measure of dying, burdened with guilt and shame in order that the man who has betrayed ber may have his bosom wrung-merely a passing squeam, I take it, between lunch and dinner
But, after all, Providence or Nature (to whichever power you prefer to sacribe responsibility) bar chosen to dreate the world upon the principle that, while the woman must pay, the man may contrive to go scot-free!!!
She must pay, because you cannot make even what is of its essence uneven. You cannot prodice equality when there is fundamental disparity.
And therefore my moral for I must have a moral as well as Mr. Goldsmith is that in ideals of life woman, being superior to man, is proclaiming a doctrine which will hurt herself, her canse, and all society when she preaches the stepping down from the heights, much less the hurl ing of her whole sex over the precipice.

NOVELTIES AT A FREE AND EASY CHURCH
Something quite new in church services Was given recently at the Kensington Town Hall under, the auspices of Miss Maude Royden and the Rev. Percy Dear
Everybody was asked to behave quite naturally.The people were requested in printed notices which were handed around before they service to abandon the
clammy church-going habits which are a modern abuse to mudge their high bours if they made noise at the wrong Gime- to keep quiet when the choir sing, and to sing loudly and gleefully when it was the congregation's turn to perforat
The congregation did na it was told and took it all in good part, in
in spite of the fact that some were obvionalý a little startled by the loud clapping, that fol lowed the singing of every bymn and the free-and-onay nanner in winch the ser vice was conducted.
Nobody nudget which shows that there were no small hoy, present to take advant- age of such a delightful opportunity there was a conspicuous absence of the people with chronic coughs, it was evident that the "mudging" threat had good effect. There was no talking, there was no giggling. Every one t still and well- behaved, fearing reprimands to the form of sharp elbow digs on PAS
