If both ‘political organizations follow this advice and conduct @ campaign on principle alone, the State of New York would be Democratic.

New Yorkers have never taken very kindly to her, and when she figured in Sydney Grundy's play she figeled very rapidly. In Mrs. Lynn Linton's latest novel, “The New Woman,” published by the Merriam Company, we have another very large dose of her, but Mrs, Linton, aware of lution, compromises by making her fe- pent and become a nice old woman, flomewhere after page 400.

(I've just lighted another, I feel happy.) Phoebe ran away with a_nineteen- year-old boy when she herself was s1: teen. They were married, and perfectly proper, though she says later that if they hadn't got married she should have gone to the bad, and perhaps It would have been much better, she adds.

Then she falls in with a whole crew of unsexed women. A hideous crowd, who belong to a fin de sleckle club called the Excelsiorites. Constance | Casey, the leader of the club, has waved short hair parted to the side, a broad flat cheat, and with “epicene beauty, accen- tuated by every subtle device that she could use, she might be taken as the} nineteenth century representative of the Amasons who fought the Athenians ‘The others are quite as bad as Con- stance, and they teach Phoebe to de- spise her hueband, neglect her cheeyild and grow indifferent to mommer. Phoebe goes to the bad by rapid transit. She makes speeches, in which she condemns maternity, and advises women to throw off all yokes. She be Heves in free love, although she remains pure herself, and she wears a gown of oft, flesh-colored silken stuff, fitting as perfectly as if it had been a second skin." So you see how dangerous she was, A “new woman,” who dresses as a dowdy is perfectly harmless, but when dons “soft, flesh-colored silken stuff” she's a terror with a capital T. Phoebe repudia'ss her husband when he re- turns from the Cape, and declines to live with him. She says dreadful things, I won't repeat them, because perhaps you are too young to hear them. She calis everybody “pigs,” when they vex her, and doesn't seem to suspect that she's an awful pig herself. Mra, Linton makes her tell an au- dience that “the maternal instinct, about which so much nonsense has been talked, Is animalistic, unintelligent, nar- rowing to the general sympathies, and only another version of egotism."
