THE DODY AND SOUL OF "DIXIE."
The women of the Confederate ('lu
of America have made a mistake
try in:: to tit new Words to "Dixie."
They say tho words are "awkward.
Maybe. But
The words ol' tho tdd thrilling son

The divorcement of wonks and tn?sl
that have lived long togotber ought to
bo forbidden.
With tho best Intention doubtless tho
historic, homely words about "cinna
mon seed and sandy bottom" have
becu changed by tjicse women, who
have substituted the lines: ,
Oh. Dixie lund IH tho land of glory,
Tho land of chorlHhcd song and Btory!
The substituted words are good
enough In their way, but lt Is safe lo
declare they will never permanently
bo titted to tho old tune. They lack the
native llavor of the old words.
There ls a lot of "go" In tho old
?words ns there ls In the old music of
"Dixie." *
The song ls almost ns popular hi tho
north aa la (ho south. If you want to
wake up any listless nudlenco any
where lu Atncrtc?, start tho orchestra
to playing ..Dixie.'' No other song will
bring men and women to their feet
witt? beating hearts and flushed faces
like the old song.
Let "Dixie" alone.
Lips that are long since dust have
shouted those "awkward" words. They
arc embalmed In sacred recollections.
To chango them would amount to an
Insult to the dead.
This Itel) to (-hange the words of our
national songs bleaks out every so j

IS WOMAN A MARTYR. 7
Lifo to most women, says Elizabeth
Stuart Phelps, ls a martyrdom.
She specifies.
No person, she says, who has ever
hoard the confidences of the sex can re
call without emotion the confessions of
these women "tied to traditions they
dure not question, broken on the
wheels of drudgery whose Iron revolu
tions crush individual gffts out of tho
soid and personal [lowers out of lifo."
She says there will bo no happier citi
zen In tho heavenly1 country than theso
"prisoners ol' sex."
Well
There ls no denying tho fact that the j
average woman's life is largely given
lo ceaseless drudgery and monotony.
The doing of tho same thing, mostly in
tho same way, day lu and day out, and I
getting nowhere conies to bo an actual |
tragedy,
i ou see
The rooms once swept cleaffcif?Hist be
swept again. The dishes tlur ard
washed after breakfast will be dirty
e.flor dinner. Things will uot stay
clean. And tho victuals that are cooked
for one meal will not sulllce for the
next, ir only tho stuff could bo lilied
up for Installment consumption!
Out
come to think of it, tho life of most
men is also largely made up of drudg
ery. They aro perhaps not so much
tied up to traditions, but they ure
bound to a system that kills, a machine
that crushes. Few of thom but aro
broken moro or less by this mental or
physical routine.
Indeed, it is the remark of foreign
observers that American women are
better off than any other women In the
world and that American men aro the
hardest worked men lu tho world.
Tho diff?rence is here:
Women are more idealistic than men.
Drudgery tells on them. The daily
round frets their more delicate nature.
There is more poetry in their souls.
lt ls difficult for women to get over
the Iden (hat Hf#? ought b? br
Woman's club comes In) to save her
from the nervous tension of doing ono
thing all tho time.
Aii.l by tho same token
So does the man who lives a life of
drudgery.
