A WORLD RUN BY WOMEN.
(BY SEWELL STOKES IN THE EVENING STANDARD."}
Mr. Sewell Stokes, who is still in the twenties, challenges a vast number of his own-sex by his enthu siastic championship. of woman's organising powers and his anti- cipations of her high place in the world of the future.

In this year of grace nineteen hundred and thirty there are stili somo misguided people who say that a woman's place is in the home. And, what is more, they menn, it. They regard, with horror the growing army of women who ara entering every profession which before the war was the exclusivel field of male endeavour.

What a job for a woman! To be a sort of shock-absorbing cushion protecting her husband from the petty domestic troubles of his home.
Nothing is said about the un fortunate women who do not maunge to find a husband. Most of us know those poor creatures who before, the war used to exist on the charity of their more fortunate re lations; the sad spinsters who were left stranded with nowhere to live except the houses of their married Bisters or their brothers, and noth ing to live on but the money those relatives allowed them.

Fur "women" cannot hear to be idle. A man, if he has sufficient tobacco and alcoholic liquid to keep him going, is perfectly content doing nothing. Give him a friend to talk to, somebody with whom he can rail at the way other people do things, and he is quite happy.
But not so a woman. She must be doing something even if it is nothing more than knitting. Her motto "Deeds, Not Worda." If she has nothing to do, she is un happy until she has found some
thing.
Who does not know the womin who is always fussing about the house, tidying things up and put- ting things away! I know a man who is very fat, and in hot weather ho, cannot bear to sit down to dinner when he comes home in the evening without first having a cold bath. But I can't do it," he told nic, almost with tears in his eyes. "Whon I've had. my bath I find my wife has sent my shirt and underclothes to the Inundry!
Wicked Conspiracy.
Arc
Ip is because women efficient. (or ever-cfficient) at this business of housekeeping that ren for years pretended that they were created by the Divine Providence for that work and no other. And women unwillingly helped this wicked conspiracy. "A woman's work is never done," they raid, knowing perfectly well that anyone would finish it inside two hours if. they didn't dread baving nothing to do for the rest of the day.
But now women have won their emancipation. Almost every pro fession is open to them, and they can go out alone after dark.
And, quite naturally, the first professions in which they attained any distinction were, the artistic ones, for they can be pursued by oneself and at thome. Where we used to have one Indy novelizt. we now have a hundred. "
But have women shown that they. Can be great novelists? No. Crowds of them are good, but none. of them is great. That is, perhaps, excusable, because they haven't had much time. But what is quite ex- eusable is that women have not im pretsed their feminity on their work. The only difference between a novel by a man and ond by a woman is that the former is gen erally the better. And when n woman doce write a book, which is unmistakably above the average host, wo are told by the reviewers that alio handios. her tale with: almost masculine power, and the nearer she gets to the masculine ideal the better she is mid to be
It is the same with painting; the more masculine a woman nrtirt, is in her work the bettor she is Them Controll
That is why. I think women have failed in the artistic professions, and I shall not change my opinion, till bomo woman writes, paints, or composes a really effeminate masterpicec..
But whoever heard of women settling a difference by fighting duel They may try to rain their enemies by invective and lies, but only in the page of Tom Jones and in the slums, where almost, say imbecility is excusable, do they "fight things out."
A woman's place is quite de- faitely in a position of respon sibility and trust. This civiliantion will only survive if it is run by women, while men amuse themselves with art and literature and sport.

A sleek way of doing the hair. scrupulously kept clothes, immacu late touches of lace at the neck and wrist, and a fastidious thate in jewellery give plainness an appeal- ing character of its own.
The plain girl can afford to be old-fashioned, for her demure quaintness will be far more telling than any commonplace striving after opulent or pretty effects.
