By Sophie ® Irene Loeb Copyright, 1018, by The Press Publishing Go, (The New York Evening World.) N all sides, these days, we hear much about the superwoman, Poets and preachers and pro- phets are talking about the great day) when the new woman will become part and parcel of the world at large, and through her will be created a new kind of people. | Tho superwoman idea is the result ef the war and the feminist move~ well as ultra propaganda that is being preached everywher The other day I heard a discussion of several learned people on the superwoman. Of all the attributes this woman will have in the line of) strength, endurance, sagacity, politi- cal pot motherhood, commerctal- ism—a picture of a creature that would tax the imagination to the nth power. She will be very much like the manufactured product that only re- quires a push button to produ thing from # pin to a pli superwoman to be from @ sweet! to a business man- ager. However, in all this medley, no one ready to prophesy when this i heart is goddess-like angel will appear in hu-, man form. At the same time, we have | history to show that there have been | wars before, There have been woman | movements that have advanced her: withal the majority of are so-called javes—those hundreds of years.

She has many ear marks. There are vari. ous ways of recognizing her, You will find the element of the superwoman in: ’ The woman who practices what she preaches, ‘The mother who believes that other |> people's children may be as wonder- ful as her own, The wife who is the real helpmate of her husband as well as his play- mati ‘The girl who does not steal her best friend's sweetheart The daughter who does not make her mother's life miserable because she has to support her. The sister who thinks herself not too good to grasp the hand of one of her sex who has fallen, The woman who gives charity quiet- ly without being @ brass band re- former. She who does not persist in being a parasite because she has a legal claim on her husband. ‘The girl who has the strength to p her virtue and self-reliance when all around are losing theirs and blam- ing it on soclety. ‘The girl! who pays her way through college by hard work.
