Yet the belles of 1880, in all their coquetry and comeliness, were not so fair as one of these! She boasteth not the slenderness of her waistline, nor the whiteness of her hands, but taketh pride in the broadness of her shoulders and the strength of ber arms, She lolleth not in bed in the mornings, nor sitteth in her boudoir prinking until high noon, but ariseth with the lark and goeth forth into the fields carrying the rake and the hoe upon her shoulder. She blusheth not at the sight of ber own ankles, but donneth overalls or rubber boots or bloomers, as her work demandeth, She ADMITTETH that sbe hath limbs to walk upon. She swooneth not at the sight of a gun, nor stoppeth her ears at the | sound of a cannon—for lo, she bath driven the Red Cross ambulance at | the front, and hath gone forth upon the battlefield to bind up the wounded, | and there is no fear left in her. She simpereth not in the drawing room while the sun shineth, but | hasteneth down to the canteen, where she fetcheth and carryeth and wash- eth dishes and boileth coffee and giveth food to the hungry doughboy, She blusheth not at the approach of a man, neither doth she tremble at the words of a wooer, but steadyeth him sweetly, and leadeth bim on with gentle cooings and encouragement. She denyeth not the source of her complexion, but carryeth her vanity case OPENLY, and applyeth her “girlish color” and her lip stick In the face of the multitude. She is NOT a whited sepulchre! She fryeth doughnuts with one hand and marcelleth ber bair with the other. She runneth her own motor car w her Beloved bold her lett hand She knitteth helmets or rolleth bandages with ber fingers while she talketh politics or eugenics with her lips and flirteth with her eyes. And when her day's labors are finished, who is THIS that de ndeth unto the drawing room arrayed as a Christmas fairy, in tulle and ruffles and alluring daintiness and sweet with spikenard aud myrrh anc scented soap and imported sachet? Who is THIS that sitteth at the piano and playeth dreamy sonatas or glideth over the ballroom floor as gracefully as thistledown?
