Modern Woman
Is Superior to
1 Grandmother
London. —The woman of today la In
tellectually and physically superior to
her grandmother of the ever-ready
blush and the downcast eye. Her
latchkey Is the badge of her emanci
pation. She is no longer the wooed
but the wooer. She has, and exer
cises. the right to select her own
mate.
Dr. Alfred T. Schofield, the latest
champion of the modern woman, ad
vanced this courageous theory at a
recent lecture at the Central hall, dis
cussing that strangely tangled sub
ject, "The Psychology of the Female
Mind."
The subject, says Doctor Schofield,
presents at the moment n dissolving
view of great promise. The woman
of early Victorian days has nearly dis
appeared, though she tuny still lie
found In remote country places—the
gentle, quaint, prim, yet graceful lady
with her tippet and poke Isinnet her
samplers nnd her still room. Hut the
new is better! The coming picture
Is on nobler and grander lines. The
gentle submission nnd downcast eye
may not bo easy to find nowadays, but
they have been replaces! by the cnn
dld am] clear !<*>k of complete eman
cipation nnd the upright figure of the
freedom.
Marvel in Rapid Advance.
The tnnrvel Is that with such rapid
advance there lias not been more ex
travagance. Setting aside exceptions,
nothing Is more delightful nnd marvel
ous than the quiet, decent, self-respect
ing dignity of the modern latchkey
young woman living in her own rooms
tn a large dt;'. Very severe strictures
have been [Missed on her dress In
these Inst few years, but that hns
somewhat confused the onuses. In all
times of war and general upheaval
similar caprice in women's dress has
been observed, but that was not In nny
wny the outcome of the emancipation
of womanhood.
The remarkable lack of women's In
terests In their own minds. Doctor
Schofield points out. is a very curious
point. No doubt this Is a survival of
the past bad years. After the most
careful search In the libraries of the
world no works on psychology written
by women nre discoverable, save, |>er
hups, tentatively by that remarkable
Swede. Ellen Key.
The world still waits tor a true con
ception of the female mind written by
a woman. The future of England and
America largely depends on the qual
ity of woman's mind today. A good
physique Is lm|>ortnnt to the next gen
eration of woman, but the quality of
her mind Is of still greater lm[*>rtnnce
than her body. In proposed legislation
which Is now being considered with
regard to the prevention of a certain
contagious disease, the question really
turn* on whether the health or the
morals of u nation nre of greater Im
portance. In ultimate analysis there
Is no antagonism between health and
morals.
Value of Man’s Body.
In earlier times the value of man's
body was supreme; u woman's mind
then was cultivated letter than a
man's nnd her preponderance as a sex
In spiritual matters was overwhelm
ing. When man. however, substituted
machinery for manual labor his bodily
l>owers were heavily discounted and
his success In life depended on Ills In
tellectual powers; at the same time,
relieved of constant physical exhaus
tion his spiritual outlook approximat
ed more marly to that of women
Since then the resemblance of the
sexes has Increased.
The result Is nowhere more marked
than In the typical presentment of
John Hull. A hundred years and more
ago the streets In this country were
filksl with portly, rubicund men. stern
or Jovial of visage, nnd vastly differ
ent from the more Intellectual but
slightly anaemic and attenuated In
dividuals who fill their role today.

mental to the statu* of woman and
her offspring. s» long as women are
mostly detwndcnt on their father* un
til they change that for dependemw

to retain many of the characteristics
peculiar to the servile state.
The endowment of motherhood la
one solution of this financial difficulty
though by no mentis the best, for all
state interference In private 1 life la
wore or less of an evil. Once a wom
aa's ladeprodrot economic position m
assured she will probably select her
mate In n way that would now, with
our false standards of conduct, be con
sidered perfectly Indecent, but seeing
she Is the mother of the resulting
race. It seems only right she should
do so. One thing Is certain, that a
large number of degrading unions
which now take place would nt once
cense and the whole psychology of
marriage would be raised to a higher
level.
Until the economic position of wom
en Is altered woman is most unfairly
handicapped. It Is undoubtedly for
the good of the individual, of the na
tions and of civilisation Itself that the
financial position of a woman shall be
assured as that of a man. Already
the freedom of women has begun, but
It Is In vain to strike off the prison
er's shackles one by one so long as the
most galling one of all Is retained in
the form of economic dependence. No
doubt professional and business ca
reers have to some small extent solved
the problem, but much more Is re
quired. A radical change of view as
to the provision of daughters ns com
pared with sous si'ems to Doctor
Schofield to be an essential step.

WAYS WITH SOUR CREAM.
Those who are fortunate enough to
have sour cream (which is often. In
many farm homes), will
like to have a few re
minders of how it may
be used. Sour cream
has been used for gen
erations for cookies,
enkes. biscuits and grid
dle cakes, as well as for
salad dressings. pud-
r '" I
V 1 ’ 1 ! r
Q
•ling sauces, cake filling,
fish and meat sauces and f« F various
delightful frozen dishes with fruit
Juice. These are but a few of the va
rious uses for sour cream.
Those who are fond of codfish in
white sauce will find that sour cream
used In [dace of the milk will make
a most tasty and appetlllng dish. Be
careful to cook the flour and butter
well before adding the cream, ns that
must nut cook very long or It will
curdle.
Sour cream when mixed with fruit
juices of various kinds, sweetened to ■
taste and frozen, will make a de
licious, smooth, velvety '-ream Or- |
nnge juice, with sugar and water '
boiled with the grated rind nnd cooled,
then added to the sour cream. Is a I
most delightful combination.
For a cake filling, take one-hnlf cup
ful of sour cream, one cupful of sugar,
and boll until It hairs; add n pinch
of salt and a half cupful of hickory
nut meats.
Sour Cream Cookies.—Add n cup
ful of sugar, a cupful of molasses,
to two cupfuls <>f rich sour ennm. Add
jwo well-beaten eggs, a tenspoonful
of soda nnd one of baking powder, a
tablespoonful of ginger, a dash of cin
namon and cloves, anil enough flour
to roll; let stand on Ice to chill before
rolling out.
Shredded Cabbage With Sour Cream
Dressing.—Shred the cabbage very
thin, plunge Into cold water and let
stand until crisp. Drain and mid sour
crenm. sugar, salt nnd n dash of
vinegar to give the salnd the right
zest. If the cream Is very sour, the
vinegar will not be needed.
For n salad dressing of any kind of
vegetable, a teas|MMinful or two of
boiled dressing and a half cupful of
whipped sour cream will l>e found very
acceptable.

AN INTRODUCTION
By A. W. PEACOCK.
(&. I*2o. by McClure Newspaper Syndicate >
Eliot Moore was standing in the
crowded west-bound car mid planning
what lie would do for the evening. He
was not conscious of his neighbors ex
cept that close beside him ns lie looked
down from his six feet he could see
under n small, chic hat the curve of
a girlish cheek.
Suddenly he was stung Into action.
Something had been thrust Into hfs
trousers pocket and withdrawn. Ono
plunge of bls hand and he knew that
his pocketbook with n clear week’s
salary had been stolen.
“Somebody has snenked my pocket
book." lie said sharply to the conduc
tor. "Someone on this car. Don't let
n soul off until I get n cop!”
Excitement filled the car. Tired n«
they were, nil viewed the turn of events
with interest.
At the same time a num in a gray
suit came crowding forward nnd a
voice spoke up sharply: “I think Hint
young indy next to you did the trick,
sir.”
The man In gray caught her shoul
der. "I mn on the force, my friend,
nnd I will take charge.” he said to
Eliot. “Young Indy, have you that
pocketbook?" Even ns he spoke he
yanked n wallet from the pocket of
h. r suit. He held it out to Eliot. “That
yours?"
Eliot nodded.
“Well, I guess we have nnother one
of them,” the gray man said. "Get off
here nt tlie station nnd I enn let you
go soon." he said again to Eliot.
Not until the slight girl had been
led from the enr nnd the car had gone
did she seem to recover from the shock
of the charge.
“What nre you going to do with
me? I did not take that wallet!" she
cried In a bnlf gasping, sobbing voice,
trying to draw her arm away.
"You better go with us without a
fuss, young Indy, for go you will
whether you want to or not I” the
plain-clothes man said sharply.
The light from the street lamp fell
ttfion her face, nnd Eliot saw that she
was nothing more than a mere girt,
badly frightened, and looking weary
beyond any weariness he knew. Un
der the small hat her girlish face, win
some In spite of the strain upon It,,
touched him.
“Can't we fix ft up here?" he naked.
"Don't let her get away with any
such stuff, young man. They're old
hands at the sob stuff.
They went In nnd found themselves
facing nn officer who was deep in n
newspaper. He looked up with a
scowl ns he saw them.
"Well. Edwnrda. what Is It?” he
ssked of the detective.
Edwards explained and handed over
the pocketbook. Tlie lieutenant nt the
desk turned it over in his hand.
“Found on her, eh? Well, let's finish
ft up. I suppose you know what's In
It?" he asked Eliot.
Eliot had been wntchlng the girl.
She stood, wfilte-faced. tearless, her
dark, wide eyes staring.
Quietly he named off articles nnd
money—thnt were not In the wnllet.
The man nt the desk looked nt hltn
with cold, shrewd eyes. “This wnllet
does not contain the stuff you men
tion."
The girl stiffened ns If with shock.
Her stricken eye* turned to Eliot.
"Then I disown It. Some mistake

“No doubt." the officer snld dryly.
“Yon two Icnve your names nnd ad
dresses and then you may go. Here Is

it to her with n polite gesture.
She took It with fumbling finger*
nnd they went out together.
She walked unsteadily, nnd ho Hided

In silence; then she turned with n
quick. Indrawn breath.
"It Is your pocketbook ! You know
It! You did It Just to save mo!" She
held the wallet out to him. “You must
not think I did It. But I —here I* the
wallet. Take It—please, please!”
He quieted her. “No; I hnve a hunch
that the chap who did pinch It anw he
was caught when we held everybody
In the car and he slipped the wallet
Into your pocket nnd then culled atten

It the more certain I am.”
“Do you really think so?” she qua
vered.
“Now look here, little girl," ho an
swered soothingly. “I am sure of It.
Fay, we hnve both missed our supper.
Thero's a restaurant over there. Let’s

"But—"
"There are no ffiutn.’" he answereff.
