Today Cave Women Age of Feminist Movement, Declares Corra Harris Now Time for Throwing Off (By Ann Simonton in New York Tribune.) Corra Harrls {s @ woman and .o writer, but more than efther, she is a delicious point of view. She has & profile like a grenadier—the simile is hers—and a face like a Christian lady from a Georgia valley, and & tongue—like but tht is the rest of this story. Sufficient tc say that her voice has a pussy willow gentleness and & total disregard for g's. “I was forty years old,” she told me, before it ever occurred to me that 1 could bore anybody, ... And [ haven't had a comfortable moment since.” She hasn’t. The humblest re- porter can startle her into a nervous BEmersonian flow of speech that it seems almost unfair to scratch down. A Man’s Woman. I began by asking her what it ail meant, the subtie mixture of envy and distress in which one sald of onc's best friend. “Oh, she’s a man’'s wo- man.” “Bvery good woman,” she told me, not especially answering at all, is a man’s woman. We were born for each other. Some men do spring your person- ality, as it were. Some women do.” Bhe remembered the - disastrous thought that had come to her at forty, and began to plead: “Really; I think it's a great mistake to think that he- cause a woman hs written six books she knows anything—interview any- thing— when as a matter of faet. she’s just mulled round the heart of common things.” Began on Modern Woman. I 1ét the man's woman vanish and bégan on the modsrn woman, what« ever that may be, she being an in- terview Topie, at least. “I think it's like this,” salq Corta | Harrls, whoso background of Serip- ture ig the woof of her whole men- Old Restraints, Says Writer —Believes Equal Suffrage Will Not Help De- ; mocracy Particularly. tality. “In tho beginning God created woman, and the mind of woman was without form and darkness was upon the face of that deep, and to this day 1 Spirit has moved upon the face of those watars nor divided the lighi from the dark. “And prelty much what I mean by that is that on ‘he whole the mind of women is amorphous. Equal Economic Opportunity, “Women want suffrage incidentally. What they really want is equal econ- omic opportunity. I want to tell you why that thing can never be. It's not original with 1ae, but it's true. An employer invests in a woman. And what does she do. 8he quits. She is not a fixed product in the economic system. She is as removed as east from west”—a cheerful antithesis that the interviewer doesn’t Kipling- wise belleve in—*from being a standarized value, and her incon- stancy—the inconstancy toward an all-lite working career of every pretty stenographer in the world inevitably upsgts the value of woman as a worker. “Every woman who keeps hous»,” says Corra Harris, “practically earns $1,200 a year, but men have taken away from her the responsibility to- ward spending that should go with having earned that money. And it's the women who don't earn even that #nd who have no responsibility who haveé created topsy-turveydom. Look at the stores along the avenue, Neces- sities are hid i the basements, The stores themselves are full of luxur- ies bought by women who do not earn the money they spend. Women Fool Themselves. ""Women,” she said, ‘‘fool them- selves.” Bhe laughed. ‘“There's just 6ne per- son you can fool all the time, Yoéu can't f0ol the public, nor God, nor your family, nor the children, but you can fool yourself every day In the week forover.” I liked that und remembered it and forgot what it tre Goers ! mon objective when and | Menu for Tomorrow l!

Wash and trim the tongue carefuly, roll it round in the same way as you would ribs of beef, and kéep in it shape with a plece of tape. ‘Wash and prepare the vegetables, cut each in haif. Lay them in the casser- ole with the spice. Next put in the tongue, then put in the rest of the vegetables, and pour enough stock or water to half cover the tongue. Puv ! the lid on :ne casserole, anl et the contents simmer gently for four hours, The tongue should be turned once during the cooking, Then either serve the tongue hot, with the stock thickened, carefully seasoned and flavored with ketchup; or serve it cold, garnished with fresh parsiey. Cereal Coffee you can fool yourself every day in was apropos of. Then I stole back to modern woman. “Funny, isn't it,” she sald, “for hundreds of years one went along quietly, religion filling up the time and talk, and now, just as it had dropped down from the trees, here’s everybody telking about the Modern Woman. “And I assure you it's serious. And the men haveée only themselves to bLlame. It's all because men didn't leep up busy and didn’t marry us, on having marrid us, again didn't Kéep us busy. Hotels and boarding houses were allowed.” We talked on. Shrewdness in Society. 4 “The soclety women of this country are really the shrewdest of . the lot. | They practice competition and get their wits narrowed down to sharp edges. If you don’t like them, don’t blame them. The men of this country made something that doesn’t fit. She isn’t fit to fit.” On we went. “Women have lived up to the virtues demanded by men (I belleve that women haven't chosen their virtues and men have.)” Mrs. Harris drooped a _little. I knew that she was remembering that fatal unhappy thought that came to her in her fortieth year, but she forgot it in a second for I nedarly clapped when she told me. “Today is the cave woman age of the feminist movement. Now is the ime for throwing off old restraints. “I am told that a woman who wants old-fashioned things is narrow. It's narrow to be sure that there is nothing in divorce—for no one who truly believes in marriage pelieves in aiverce and no oné who beilevés in Givorce can ever really belleve in marriage. “I am told that some feminists don’'t believe in marriage at all. Oh, well, they are only skinning the cat men- tally—they aren’t thinking. Pre- sently they’ll marry and take a hus- band, and have stock in property and iegltimacy and things that are as deep as they are narrow. “It's g pretty good thing to be nar- said the Lady from the Valley, “jf you can only be truiy narrow enough.” It's a good thing to have heard her say it, in the steady, low voice that confirms and convinces past words of any sort. A Complete Campaign. Then we slipped on again and she was telling me about “The Co-Citi- zens” which Doubleday, Page & Co. will bring out in the fall, which sums her notion of how women are going to get their suffrage. It's a whole working schemeé of campaign. She doesn’t believe that equal suf- frage is going to help democracy par- ticularly. That she thinks is a process where one trades one king for forty bosses. But she doesn’t thinx 1t will help the personal democracy of women. Just as men of any class and caste fiing their efforts together for a com- something 1s wanted or needed by the community, 8o will women when they work through ballots, “Never till now,” she says, “have women ever done that, worked side Ly side with each other. “Do you recall how in New Orleans a few years ago there was a bond iesue in the city for some sort of hy. glenic measure up, and women were to vote on it? Men sald that the so- called bad women would defeat the isstie, and there was a great fuss made, ‘What happened, of course, was that the ‘nice ladles’ went forth and got the bad ones, and all together the hy- went to the polls and pushed the hy- glene measure through.” Corra Harris was enthusiastic. Oh, yes, let them print that she’ { an antl, There's nothing in it. Sh suffrage, every bone, but being sans, Women R dartford’s Most Helpful Store—At All Times.

That's a very hig, many angled question and one of the subjects on which I am waiting for my épinions to crystallize. But I'll take this opportunity to tell you that there is a certain kind of divorce, which I consider not only permissable but desirable. Indeed I think the need of it should be taught in the public schools. 1 think mothers should instill its advisability into their children's minds and husbands and wives keep each other reminded of thé need for it The kind of divorce to which I refer is the dissolution of the tie be- tween married words. ‘Words Which Custom . Has Joined X Of eourse you know what I mean by married words the kind of words that seem to be indissolubly assoclated in our language, words which cus- tom has joined together and common sense falls to put asunder. We find them in newspaper paragraphs, we find them in almost every story, we find our friends using them, and still nearer home, we find our- selves perpetrating them. “Amply repajd,” is one such couple. “Added inducement,” is another. “Last analysis,” is & most familiar éxample. “Willings hands,” is a favorite among newspaper writers. I know one newspaper in this country"Whose' proprietor believes emphatieal in word divorce that he supplies each new worker with a list of tal couples. “Willings hands” is one. ‘ A Dangerous Subject For Me. | 1 know it is a dangerous subject for me to write about for the day after it 1s published I shall get a grist of letters pointing out examples of married words which appear in my own column, And yet I brave this experience, because I think it will be an excellént thing for me. Our own mistakes are hardest to find and misuse of words is no exception to this rule. The tie that holds together Worn-out quoted phrases is another tie that would be more honored in the dissoiution. I refer to such phrases a&s “sweet gir] graduate” which Agnes Repnlier describes as “endowed with & = regrettable vitality.” She wonders it Tennyson would not be grieved fo find himself better known by thosé chance mocking words than by any of his serious thoughts. Slang Is Machine-Made Language, fl { Anything in language which is fixed and which makes it possible for us to use merely our mouths ifstead of our minds in expressing outselves is bad. That is one of the obj ons to slang, that it substitutes ready- made phrases for individual mind made thoughts and expressions. Barrie says that whenever he wants to use a aquotation, he looks it up in the quotation book and if he finds it he doesn’t use it. i 4 1 wish more of us were as much afraid of hackneyedness as that. : If we were, we wouldn’t have so many married words, so many phras- es “endowed with a regréttable vitality” and so much worn out slang.
