OMAN IS DISCUSSED—STYLE FLAYS ITS l*AKT AM) XOTH- i I T RETRc ;lCESSION IS SEEN IX THE LATEST STYLES OF MODERN FASHIONS. Very frequently we hear the women of today, the curiously garb ed creatures that we call the styl ish modern woman, compared to the characteristic woman or the days that are not Ions past, and the ten dency according to opinions ol those who are close observers is to ward a complete revolution of the ^ sphere of woman. Just what effect the broadening of her Held of use fulness will have upon her charac ter is not an uliuring prospect, in view of tlie expositions we sometimes see of the newspaper supplement and magazine''specimens. The young women of today should appreciate the full meaning of the •part woman must play, especially now that she has demanded a front seat and a leading roio in the active drama of life. The following comment on condi tions, and advice to a young woman, written by a friend who had seen the world and understood its ways is Interesting: “You may think strangely of my speaking so plainly; It is the im- • ntive duty of man in this day and tin e to speak in the open about the Poe <i and the bad trait3 of human character, magnifying thoso which i ... .e woman beautiful and mini mizing those who would destroy that beauty. “The tendency of the times Is to obliterate sex lines, so that man and woman can exchange places in *tfe without comment by the public. The women have our huts, our shirt- fronts, our coats, our collars, and many of them usurp the right to “wear the breeches.” and still they are not satisfied: they want to be come Suffragettes: to vote seems to be the cap-stone of their ambition. When she enters poMtics, she loaves behind her all that was sacred in her former self; her voting Is the enter ing wedge to her complete destruc tion. Responsibilities Are Different. “Men are permitted by custom to do many things both unlawful and fled that she can render service, he accepts her, and you know as well as I do, it can not be a marriage in accord with GOD'S HOLY ORDI NANCE. “When love Is lost, from this world, between the sexes, that which makes the home a shrine, is destroy ed. The very altar of spirituality In the home is torn clown, and the home—the rightful foundation of holy teaching and holy living, / wlll become a race track for unbridled animals, running at break-neck speed, whence, they know not, whith er, they care not. The World in Vulgar Gnrl>. “The world to-day, my child, if wearing Its vulgar side outward: it is sad but true, that men and wom en are the mediums through whom it is shown. The style of dress is horrible; the manner of conversa tion is far from being elevating: the mode of entertainment is abomina ble; and It Is alarming to think of All these things beget influences which must shape and determine the characters of those who must live after wo are gone. The line which separates man from woman is almost like the line between the United States and Canada—imagi nary. The sexes r.rc too c!crc gether—too intimate; a man is in troduced to a lady to-day; tomorrow he calls her 'Mary.’ I wrfnt to urge von not to he a blind follower of custom and fashion: make your own rules, observe your own customs. •*v-T. .above nil, heed not that Paris lihertir* who instituted these fash ions. They ar£ freaks made to sell at the expense of all else.

Atlanta, Dec. ia.—A big discus sion was precipitated on the floor of the surgeon’s convention here, when Dr. A. J. Oscher, of Chicago, one of the country’s noted sur geons, predicted that eugenics would eventually take the place of love In human mating, and that science would crowd Cupid out. Some of the surgeon’s distinguish ed colleagues were inclined to agree with him, while others were Inclined to think that plain, old- fashioned True Love would exist longer than any new theories, no matter how scientifically correct. Dr. Oschner declared that the “love-less age” would he accompan ied by the “operation-less age,” and that medicine and science would he directed always to the prevention rather than altogether toward the cure of disease.
