Let iih consider ll tn for ii moniPtit
finite sot IoiihIv . TIipip Is no ilonlit that
the relative positions of thp sexes in
then- llniPK have changed n good deal.
That is too big a question to go into
here, but If any one iloubis Hip fact let
him consider broadly bow far Hip east
ern ami western civilizations have
drifted apart In thi'ir Ipws of mar
llagc. So I do not (leiiy that new sentiments
may from tlnip to tinii' beiomo engraft
il upon human nature. The moilein
repugnance to slavery wouhl haw been
unintelligible in iineipiit Home ami I
doubt whether llnoileil-oitt or burnrtl
out negroca ami yellow men ever un
derstand the altruistic eubsciiplions
now ami n train got up at the Mansion
bonso for their bencllt. On the other
band, the Chinese, with their worship
of ancestors. Indulge In sentiments
which lire caviare to ourselves. No seet,
no hotly of enthusiast, need theiofoio
tlr spall of bringing lountl society to Its
opinions; it is quite entitled to try.
Hut do the ladles who aie clamming
for the new man tenllze all that their
net Implies? 1 can hardly think so:
because, (he tcncwal of the Hrltlsh ron
Mllutlon would be a llenbite to what
the) propose, as a little reflection will
show.
First of all. honer, let us be agieed
upon our terms. The demand la that
there should bn hut one standard
of molality for loth sexe. Of course,
this Is vague. There might be a level
ing down as well as a. leveling up of
morality, or there might be a compromise-
between the two sexes a meet
ing half-wny. It there was any hesita
tion In .induing: of thl matter It would
hardly bo for the ntlvunceil ladies to
(omplaln, seeing thai one section of
them is inviting manufacturers and
others to send in designs for a new
"dual garment" or, vulgarly, trousers
for everyday female wear; while nn
ether section clnlniR the right, as I un
derstand, to retaliate In hind, for In
lldelity. However, not to be ungene
rous lot 'is assume the prevalent de
mand to lie that men should conform to
the existing st inula id of morality.
Well, tnat idea requires following out
a little more closely than has yet been
atterrptrd on advanced platforms, be
cause It Inula up to rathei strange Is
sues, for which I can hardly Imagine
Its promoters to he prepaiotl.
Morality, It Is clear, ought to be
Kiinpthlns more than a verbal profes
sion; It ought to spring from Inner sen
ilment and to be closely allied to mod
isty. (ilvcn modesty of thought and
modesty of demeanor, among members
fif the male box, there would follow, as
h matter of courie, the new morality,
which In turn would yield us a nice of
bashful and blushing men, coy In love,
lacking in initiative, who would let
concealmnr-.', like, a worm in the hud,
feed on th'.tr damask cheek rather than
declare their sentiments. Nor would
the elinngo end here. We ran hardly
doubt but that the new man, aetuatetl
by his now. feelings, would be at somo
pains to dlsgulso the contour of his
figure. If he adhered to the "dual
garment" he would probably puff It
mil frill It Into fantastic shapes and
fccmpuloiibly avoid the slightest expos
ure of ankle. The athlete would blush
Ingly fling aside his conventional garb
as too Indelicate.
Side by side with theso developments
there could hardly fall to be a complete
change of tho innor man effected. Pro
posnls for marriage would have to
romo Indifferently from either side.
Indeed, many new men would probably
never get over a sort of maidenly re
pulsion to tho opposite sex, nnd thero
would besides be little attraction to
them In tho prospect of muting with n
creature aa emotional and retiring as
tbomselvcs. Vlrtuo.ltself would become
a drug In the market. It would cease
to be prized, hecauue temptation would
cease to assail It.
Too modest to confess his passion, If
ho had one, the new man would be
constrained to take a leaf out of the
book of the Ilurmese maiden, to light
his invitational lamp In the window
and wait patiently for tho suitors of
the opposite sex to come. Would these
respond? In many cases perhaps not,
and there would arise the difficulty
which will bo remembered confronted
tho bashful Benedict, as to how the
world should bo peopled.
The universal sameness of the sexes
R-ould cause them to lose all interest
In each other and thero would bo an
end of chivalry, which on analysis
proves to be a rather "forward" at
tempt on tho part of tho male to In
gratiate himself with the female on
false pretenses.
Do the advanced ladles like this pic
Miro? It Is one of which they have
'themselves supplied the outline. I have
merely taken the liberty of filling In a
little detail. For the carrying out of
