At last, on decipherment, the gist of the inscription was found to be to the effect that our girls are getting out of hand." This piece of prehistoric evidence points to the fact that the feminist movement was already in progress in what "we might deem the morning of the world.

The so-called new woman of to-day seems to me only the natural product of circumstance and opportunity, Women have been always quick on the uptake, and this characteristic enabled them to do dificult, dangerous, and unaccustomed work with wonderful efficiency during the late war.

At the beginning and during the war it was often both said and writ- ten that civilisation would be put back five hundred years; yet now, when the effects of this retrograde movement are upon us, everyone evinces, surprise and consternation. Surely we should have prepared for them. War, which is the crowning disgrace of a nominally, civili- sed world, stirs up all that is clemental and abnormal in humans; the barriers are down, and woman, the sensitive and intuitive, is the first to respond to new conditions.

Pope wrote two hundred years or su ago that every woman is at heart a Take." Without going quite so far, I do think that most women are, less con- ventional and hide-bound than men, and that, perhaps, the rebound from cen- turies of oppression inclines them at the moment to a little over-indulgence. in 24 their well-carned freedom.

HIGH TYPES AND LOW.

In saying this I am not speaking of the best and highest type of womanhood. She, as always, acts with judgment and restraint; the possession of the rare and inestimable gift of good taste enables her to avoid all exaggeration, and to retain what is of tried worth in the old world and to annex what is of help or value in the new. But all woman are, un- luckily, not similarly gifted, and we are called upon to-day to endure many appal ling manifestations of unbridled feminine liberty. During the war our world be
