THE NEW WOMAN. LAW OF CHANGE.
[By E. TuPLE THURSTON, Author of The City of Beautiful Nonsense," "The Wandering Jow," gjo]
The passion for labelling, for `classi- Beation, for scientißo arrangement and pigeon-holing, induces one to about out This discovery of a new woman, whilst an ather as loudly retaliates that women are no different, that there is no new woman at all. This cataloguing process," estab- lishing transient appearances as perman- ent facts, is the most hampering quality of scientific investigation, and leads to the wildest assurances and beliefs. Thors are only two facts possessing any features of permanence. Life is a mystery, and change is an immutable law. Everything contained in that mystery and governed by that law is forever so variant, so fluid and intangible, as to offer no more than mere opportunity for hasty record as it goen by

If there were on the moon. woman, she would but add one more mystery to life. Much simpler is it to accept woman so far as nature has re vealed her, and, noting the countless changes and variations, if only in the broadest types, endeavour to form some: unprejudiced opinion of what, with all her fundamental instincts and impulses, she has become. The instinet of the pro pagation and protection of life, these combine to make that mystery, which does not alter with all the scientific dis coveries that are made. But beyond these lie all those characteristics and evidences of personality which alter, and develop with every age; with every gene- fashion of every ration, and with thought.

There is no New Woman. So far na the fundamental functions of their sex are concerned it is not presumptive, here at any rate, to assume that women will always be the same, that those forces of life which are wrapped in original myr tery-will continue to govern them; that even, 30 far as these are concerned, women will not alter a hair's breadth from the first allegorical record of them in the Garden of Eden. These form the unshakable scaffolding which nature bae! set up, from the platform of which, both in man and woman, the house of the spirit is built. As brick by brick and course by course is laid, it is the same scaffolding that is used, the same rung of the same ladders that are climbed every day, the same material that fa em- played, and likewise it is the same house which generation by generation is con- structed upon the original foundations Slowly and gradually in appearance it changes; the whole structure is added to for the ultimate embellishment, but all
