Mrs. Thomas R6ld, of Dagupaa Philippine Islands, Is visiting her sister-ln-Jaw r Mrs. ,0. E.' Monford. Dr. Emil Reich, the eminent Plato- nlst, Is at present quite the fad in t London fashionable society. Ho popu lar are his lectures on the Absorbing themes of Jove and woman that a suf ficient number of seats cannot be pro vided for the accommodation of Ills audiences, and at a recent talk the duchess of Portland^at on the floor ns •he listened to the Infallible and eru dite verdicts which fell from the Ups of the oracle. Dr. Reich has made some extreme statements. It Is true, but none until recently which received a challenge. We did not quite agree with him when he said that Oeorge Hand, one of the greatest geniuses of any age, was Just an uninteresting and unattractive wo man, but we overlooked it. We did not create a sensation when he de clared that "the facilities for divorce In the United States arc nn Important factor 4n the beautification of It* peo ple.” We did not dispute the matter when he spoke of the "notorious angu larity” of the North German woman and when he ungallantly dubbed her an "uncharmlng person,” nor did we raise objections when he gave It as his sol emn opinion that the American woman has the most beautiful complexion In the world. But, In view of hls recent discourse on the unwomanliness of the American woman, patience ceases to he a virtue and peace at any price would be Inglorious. Said Dr. Roich: “I say emphatically that the American woman Is not wo manly. She Is not . a woman. The whole of the United States !s under petticoat government, and man Is prac tically non existent. “in America woman commands mAn. Man does not count there. The last man that came to America was Chris topher Columbus. Today man has no existence; he does not count In the drawing room, but Is a dummy. The woman lives one life, the man another, and they are totally distinct from each other. The Spartan woman, as I have remarked, was like the American wo man of today. She never dreamed of lovers; her Idea was nothing less than conquering man.” Coming from an obscure source the foregoing svords could not be, for a moment, taken seriously, but as the opinion of so eminent a scholar and thinker aa Dr. Reich, thsy must com mand our attention. Such an accusation Implies that our men art effeminate, and a nation made up of mannish women and effeminate men must come to a speedy and In glorious end. **A woman Impudent and mannish grown.” quoth Shakespeare, "Is not more t (to be) loath’d thnn nn effeminate man.” That our women are such, that they have submerged the natures and In stincts with which God endowed them, and have usurped distorted attributes of the other sex. we believe no man who has more than a superficial ac quaintance with American life will as sert. If, when he says that the Ameri can woman Is unwomanly, Dr. Reich means that her sphere is no longer In flexibly bounded by the walls of her home, however narrow they be, he is correct. The American woman recog nises in the problems which she meet# in the administration of her own household the problems of the Ameri can home. She feels in the need of her own child the need of all children born Into the world. Through wifehood and motherhood, or through the ceaseless aspiring and nutreachtng of her own womanhood, she enters Into kinship with the world, and “nothing that Is human is alien to her.” So, she is actively Interested in every question that pertains to the public good.- In economic and social*reforpi. In charity, In religion, she Ih co-operating with the sterner sex—co-operating so Intelli gently and efficiently, that the Ameri can # man Is the first to accord her recognition. ”ln America women command men,” walls Or. Reich. He forgets that in no country of udvanced civilisation do men command their women. We blush- Ingly admit thot American manhood has exulted American womanhood, and has made It the privilege of the Amer ican woman to command so long as she Is discreet enough not to let him know thut she Is commanding. Like the' Spartan woman, the Ameri can woman “has never dreamed of lov ers;” like the Spartan woman’s, her sole Idea ”ls conquering man." Well, now, eminent doctor, I shall not say what we dream about, tin this side of the water we don’t have to tell. As to ruling men, you win, recall that In ancient times a woman of another country said to Gorgo, the wife of Leonidas, "You of Lacedaemon are the only women in the world that rule men,” and with the word* of I#eonl- das’ wife the American woman answers you proudly, "We are the only women that bring forth men."
