Is she no longer meoded in the world, and shall we ever eee her like again?” Cornelia A. P.

And then, to refute @ possible accusa- tion of selfishness aimed at the lady of another day, the writer goes on: “The truth about the leisure of the Lady is this: It was fa women of our race, a leisure of the hands; it wes, preeminently, « leisure of the mind.

They do it all as the brutes that perish, asking at each step, ‘What Is there tn tt for me,’ and asking that only, ‘The basis of their social preference is money or power.
