| 1 What One As the hadrosaurus looked in life. I By GARRETT P. SERVISS, Bometimes when I am minded to go back of the traditional time of Adam end back, even, of the geological ape- man's time, I take a walk through the dinosatr ball in the American Museum of Natural History and look upon the bones, skeletons, reproductions and restorations or animale which, according to official selentific information, “lived from 3,000,000 to 10,000,000 years ago.

The hadrosauru was & cousin of the trachodon, or duck-billed dinossur, twe mounted : skeletons of which are to be seen in the hall of the dinosaurs. They are about thirty feet long and fifteen feet tall Thelr tmmense broad, fiat bills indicate that, notwithstanding their size, they are. probably peaceable crea- which inhabited swampy places, cates, and lived malnly upon what they roould scoop up from the mud and water, including shell-figh and plants. There is also to be seen in the mu- | | seum a mummy of one of these crea~ tures—a mumemy milllons of years old, presgrved by nature herself, The actual | texture of the skin of this anclent| “terror-beast” (for that § signifi- | cance of the word dinozaur) le preserved | there. “The animal is lying on it» says an accompanying description, e Kvery mau seems to heve his own de- finitlon of the word honor.

There she I8 always at a dls advantage, she has neither man's physique, ‘nor a man's Instinots about his work. At best she s only an imitation man and all imitations are poor | stuff. Dven her successes along mascu- line I'nea are but the successcs of the | @ dog—not that she succeeds ®o well, but that she succeeds at all. Of course, we read in the papers ac- counts of women who have done all sorts of things—lady longshoresmen and lady atoeplcjacks, and lady pllots, and bronco buster queens, and so on, but there s probably not one of these women whose exploits have not been equaled | by some perfectly ordinary man, who wasn't even considered a headliner In | his trade, Assuredly there is not one of these women who, it she'd put an equal amount of time and strength and punch in some femanine line of work would not have reaped a thousund times bet- ter reward. The fine arts, music and sculpture and painting, and acting, and writing, are, of course, a "no man's land,” in which there is nofsex, but even in these women are most successful when they stick closest to their own sphere, The world will remember Sarah Bern- because hardt for her Camille and not her L'Alglon, and Maude Adams for her Lady Babble and not her Chantecleer. We want our women singers to sing ocon- tralto and soprano and not bass and baritone, and women writers are more interesting and convincing when they con- fine themselves to Interpreting the mys- teries of woman's heart and the feminine payehology than they are when they at- tempt to write llke men and make guesses at what men think and feel. The woman who eolects to follow the arts does best when she sticks to her petticoats, when she paints or writes, or acts from the woman's point of view, and thus capita'ises her sex and her sex knowledge, because in so doing she gl to the world something that is true and vital, and new, for women are just be- ginning to express themselvea and the world is curious to know the secrets that have been so lonk locked up In women's souls, In business it is even more important 1 should work her own side eot, Instead of crossing over and entc. a3 into competition with men. S0 much of the best pald work in the world ls essentially feminine that a wos man s throwing away her inheri‘ance if, she abandons it for other fle! ‘fake a knowledge of color | ot fabrics, for instance. It takes years of study and cultivation to tell the dif- forence between the pastel shades of pink and lavender, and between char- meuse and crepe de chine, but any girl child can do it with the bat of an r* and the twist of & ger, Yet me-c" dlslng was for ‘ye Wholly in hands of men. There are fortunes to be made i .| millinery, in dressmaking, in schools, in keeping bo' rding-houses &nd hotols, and women should monopolize these profes- slons because they belong to her heredi- tary calling of home making and rear ing the young. They are woman's sacred sphere. She has allowed pian to invade it and take away the capital prises, but it's up to her to recapture her own again. Therefore I advise every girl who fs confronting the problem of earning her own bread and butter to capitalize her sex, and to chooss an oocoupation in which the mere fact of her being & woman will give her an advantage over her male competitors. Remember sex may be a help as well as a hindranee in business, and the wise woman is she who makes It an asset instead of a handicap. Nor need any gli. feel that her op- ~ortunities are ocircumscribed by confin- i her activities to woman's work. Let her not forget that women have the apending of most of the money of the world, Furthermore the thinge that women should purvey, board and lodgy- ing, and food, and clothes, and frip- peries, are the things for whleh monoy is most freely pald.
