"THESE EUGENIC DAYS."

The trouble is that woman's point of view has changed-in fact, is changing every day-and man's, with regard to things domestic, is more or loss statie. To the ordinary
he-man the intensive feminism of 1998 is
as much a phase as the crinoline. He waits, impatient, tolerant or indulgent, for "women to come to their senses again.'
He may appreciate women's work if it is supplementary and unobstru sive, or if it adds to his comfort. but he is much more likely to re- gard it as a hobby, innocuous as gardening or embroidery
His panaces for every ill is "children," because he is convinced that, by some miracle of a mastu line heaven, every woman, be she professor of chemistry, chartered accountant or lecturer in Chinese, has a latent maternal instinct which will recompense her for the loss of the most productive career.

A generation ago the average woman's activities were confined to a small circle, from which, however discontented she might be, it was almost impossible to escapo. Modern transport has added to the difficul ties of marriage as of any other state which depends for success on the development of character, Be- cause it has made it so easy to escape from anything that is dis- agreeable, or even tedious. Change may be good for the mind, but it is generally bad for the "heart.
The average modern couple do not see enough of each other for their marriage to become a habit. There is a French saying "One can divorce a wife or desert a mistress, bus change a habit, never!”
In 1928 there is little opportunity for readjustment. If things are dif- ficult we go to a cinema or the Riviera We waste a great deal of timo in psycho-analysis, but we are so occupied with our own prickly individualism that we are singularly obtuse to the points of view with which-at intervals we live!

Danger Of Ignorance. Referring to the extension of the franchise to young womed, Mr. Hill said that he did not for a moment believe that women's ability to shoulder their increased public burdens was in any way lessened by "the recent diminution in their sartorial burdens."

A young. Londen man is 10d. up on the Post Office. He succeeded in for a shilling by adopting a simple sending a twenty-two-word telegram code which needed no key to be deciphered.
This is the telegram he handed in; the clerk, after consulting his superior officer, sent it off:-
