AND wie By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. “All over the world women are opening their eyes and reaching out their hands to other women. The feminist movement is really the pan- feminist movement. Whether she is Italian, Hungarian, Scotch or Ameri- can, the modern woman is realizing that she and the world need each other. Perhaps the best name of all for her awakening is the HUMAN movement, for in the final stage, at least, she will co-operate with men as well as with her own sex, and humanity will work to- gether for the improvement of humanity.” That is the fine vision of the future of woman- hood which Miss Vida Sutton has evolved out of two years of friendly confidences from women all over the ous ‘ug World. Miss Sutton, who is a graduate of the Univer sity of Chicago, bas just returned from a leisurely trek across Great Britain ‘and the Continent, during which she talked a little and listened a great deal. She listened to Hungarian great ladies and to French shop-giris, to German educators and to German laundresses, to English factory workers and to prim Scotch matrons.

I asked. Miss Sutton’s blue eyes grew large and reflective.
