me mistake with their bad women which Milton made with his Deity: as Bagehot said, "He makes God argue."

The woman of our period still fall into the old categories, because they still fall into the old rats. There are good women and bad women, with few psychologists in either camp. But there is, of course, certain quality of newness in women both good and bad, and it is this new ness which is interesting and important to the student of human life.

They feed their children according to prescrip tions on a tin, and leave it to the school inspector to discover if their teeth are bad or their bodies ill-nourished. They have no worthy home-pride, no deep feel- ing that they are responsible for the family's well-being. Listless, stupid, and incurious, as though their very souls were adenoids. these multitudinous women of modern England snufle through life in a form of somnambulism, while their children play in the streets and grow up their souls with no more direction than is ensually afforded by the harassed school teacher.

Such a woman has never before in our

history had a say in the national life, and her feeble say is the utterance which, more powerfully than any other, will determine, and is determining, the char acter of the next generation.

But they can recover a to be fruitfal, as George Sund tells us, sense of duty only by addressing them- it must be felt as a blessing.

This, I think, is the central problema of our trabaitory period. So far as I can see, the younger women of aristo cracy are more selfish and les intel- lectual than their grandmothers, but not much more selfish, and perhaps a little more intellectual, than their mothers.
