THE NEW WOMAN,

By Mrs. HENRY DODENEY, Author of “ A | day]

Thief," Folly Corner," etc.)
---The 'new. woman" is a token of glory; not so much for what she is to-day as for all that she indicates for to morrow. To-day she is in transition, -and-be-all pioneers, makes furious mis- takes. Her pose is noisy, her accent too marked; she has become candid, but sometimes lacks charm, yet these things are only ripples on a deep sea. And she follows the star of an ideal, whether she knows it or not.

As for divorce, the increase of which Alarms many people, I detest it, and all its ways. Adultery is a mortal sin, and a social mistake. Yet divorce seems to be the dirty ditch that some must jump.

In the beautiful future-which may not be so very far off-only lovers, who really love will dream of getting marrieds and the unsavoury Divorce When you Court will go out of business. really, truly love, nothing in this would or the next can part you.
