WOMAN AND LIFE,

SIR RIDER HAGGARD'S 'VIEWS.

SATURDAY, MAY 18TH, 1992.

TOO OLD AT FORTY!

SOME HOPEFUL WORDS FOR MIDDLE-AGED - WORKERS!

From the beginning of the 20th century,

up to 191, we heard a great deal of being

ron old at 40′′*.

..

When we reached that age, irreverent youth called us "uncle", or "the ol baffer" but for five years men of forty and over did some of the hardest work of the

war.

Any man wilo follows sport will be able to provide the names of men of over forty years of age who are still first-rlasa.

And the women, too! A great many of them are more interesting-more energetic -more able to do their daily tasks at forty and over than many of the girls.

Sir H. Rider Haggard, Sir Willoughby Dickinson, and Mr. Harold Cox conducted an interesting discussion 'az a dinner of the Delphlan Coterie on March 17th on "Wamp and Life.' As originally advertised the subject was "Woman and Civic Life," but the argument was developed by genoml consent to embrace the wider subject, The dinner, held at the Holborn Restaurant. was further remarkable as being the first meeting of the coterie at which ladies were present. Sir WILLOUNTRY DICKINSON anil he had come to the conclusion that prejudice was at the bottom of the objection to women's appearance in Parliament. Men mesot very well but they were filled with this prejudice, a fact for which women wern responsible. He had always believed that the system of the education of böys and

because he was of nu serouat in the house

Sir H. BIDER HAARD said woman was certainly the mother of the unexpected. "If men had wanted the rote they would have argued for several hundreds of years, sod might perhaps have got it then. Women know better. They proceeded to frighten the politicians and succeeded triumphantly. What had lawn the result? The world had followed their example.

THE DOMINION OF WOMEN.

The advent of the woman roter had made profound change in the Empire, and, indeed, throughout the world. But the men were going to be outcumbered. In Parliament, on the Bench, if the pro- fessions, women were appearing, and what was going to be the effect of it all?· He put it bluntly: was there a living for us all? Competition must produce auemploy- ment. A present there were 2,250,000 more womer that men in Great Britain.

Presently there would be a vast majority of female voters over male voters, and power would pass into the hands of the female sex. If women felt them scives empatent to bear the vast burden of Empire, will and good; he was glad be was not in their shoes, coming to it now, while man, with all his failings, had, the experience and the instinct of ages to | bolp him to his decisions. Discussing the problem of the nation's future existence, the speaker criticised the present method of emigration, under which one Dominion was to take 2,000 of our boys. They thus left behind about 2,300 girls. What was to become of them? How could we keep on exporting our young adult manhood, leaving the women behind? The girls could not marry, and would simply take the bread from the mouthe of the other

proud tradition it had been hitherto to support them. The Dominions should take not only the young men, but the parents and the girls as well.

whose sex,

Mr. HAROLD Cor said he profoundly dissented from most of Sir Rider Haggard's propositions. It was an historical inaccuracy to say that women won the vote by methods of terrorism; women got the vote because of the services they rendered in the war. Whether the serious problem of women in civic life were inore serious than that of mon in civic life he was not at all ware. One object of the Delphian Coteri, was to get riduithe apathy which prevailed in public life, but did this apply to women ouls "At the Tent County Council elections only 40 per cent of the electors voted.

In this way Mother Seigel's Syrup enables your digestive orguns to do their duty, efficiently and without strain, 'and thus you avoid pains after eating, headache, palpitation, dizziness; languor, biliousness. and constipation.

Throughout the Union it would be difficult to find a place of any size whefe Mother Seigel's Syrup isuot known and appreciated. There are few homes where Mother Seigel's Syrup has not been successfully used to banish digestive troubles and restore fitness.
