the Queen's Hall, when they des bated women's suffrago—or, ra- ther, talked round it.
Miss Humilton opened by saying that it did not, miller a button, whether women got the vote or not; the only thing that interested her was when the good time would come when wonon would conso to
be looked upon as moroly a wife, 787] mother, or mistress, and become
human boing. The domand for a voto was a small sign of progross, It was quite possible that a poli- tical environment for women might be an evil thing-but tha experiment has got to be tried,
"As to all the talk about losing the crown of womanhood---don't listen to it," she continued.. "The beauty of motherhood is a somo. what degrading tlang. Alan prefors internal woman; but thu important thing is not what j na prefers, but what woman profers. And so long as the man' profers the mother of his children to be a fool, so long will there be very little beauty about mother- hood."
Thoonly thing now for a woman tu do was to be “ cimrming,
order to attrnet a man.

"Woll, I seem to remember my mother, and my grandmother, and my aunts and they must have boon oxceptions to that rule.
"There is one fundamental fal- lucy in your argument (he told Miss Hamilton) and that-is that you compare sox in the torms in which you would compare tho other divisions of mankind. Thut is bosh, for sex is the only thing in the world in which the result of division is an overpowering at-} traction. The moment they aro suprated they want to come to- gother again. People in Europe are divided into Catholics and Protestants, but you don't find à Catholic going about looking for a Protestant with whom to spend the rest of his life,"
THE PRE-HISTORIC MYTH. The relations between the sexes were not founded on force, but upon attraction. Some wise peo- plo, who, when they could find no warrant for their theories in his- toric times, wont back to pre- historic times, told us that the man knocked down the woman with a club, and then took her, That was profoundly untrue. Did the birds knock oach other. down in the spring?
Women had never been kept systematically outofsither dignity or authority. It was only demo- "cracies that had denied women the power of ruling. History

Miss Hamilton then complained that Mr. Chesterton had only talked about women as wives and inothers. Marringe was a volun- Lary institution for men; for) womon it was a trade, and not only a trade, but a compulsory trade. A woman without a hus
band was a iunrk for scorn and
hissing. (Cries of “Rubbish!")
"Good Lord in Heaven!" was Mr Choatorton's reply to this outburst. No respect for a wo man except as a wifo! Had she ever heard of the Elgin Mar- blos, put up to honour a virgin? And the Vestal Virgins? And St. Theresa? And St. Catharine of Siena? And Joan of Are?! Mon respected women as they re- spooled all their other ideals. "When wo want to laugh at our- solvos, we represent ourselvos as comical-looking fat men-like me. But when we remember the glories of our race, we bring out Britannia, a beautiful woman."
