Britain.
ARTICLE NO. 9.
IF I WERE asked now, as I was
often when I first reached Amer
ica, what I thought of American
women, I should at first comment
on their wonderful beauty and the
next on their capacity for procuring
and wearing exquisite clothes.
But in discussing the subject at this
time I feel that I have observed some-i
thing that may not be so obvious to
the Americans themselves and to
other foreigners paying, as I did, a
flying visit. That something is the
tendency of American women to take
desperate interest in trivial things
to make questions out of matters that
are really economio or hygienic.
In every oity that I visited there
are "clubs," both male and female,
to forbid or promote some harmless
trivialities and, until these are ridi
culed out of existence, they, will pre
vent the United States from ever be
coming what we should call a free
country.
The Americans, while the most
friendly people in the world, are too
much concerned about each other;
ana, though not personally, are na
tionally vain. They would rather hear
themselves abused than' undiscussed;
which inclines one to imagine that
they are suffering from the uneasl
ess of the "nouveau riche."
"What do you think of us?" "How
do you compare our men and women
and their clothes and customs with
yovr own 7" was the substance of
every question that was put to me.
There are things of surpassing in
terest in this country,, but have any
of us heard an English man or woman
ask as a foreigner what he thought
of us? Or, if they were silly enough
to do so, who would be interested in
the reply?
Some will say that this comes from
ur pride, or insularity; but they will
be wrong. We are not obsessed by
the desire to interfere with our neigh
bor that is noticeable all over Amer
ica. I was told, and I have the evidence
f my own experience to support that
statement, that the women were
largely, if indirectly, responsible for
the passage of the prohibition con
stitutional amendment and the Vol
stead and other laws, designed to in
terpret the amendment.
I have already discussed the work
ings of prohibition, as it is enforced
(if one can truthfully say "enforced").
I have written my disappointment, as
a strong believer in temperance and
regulation, that the extreme measure
in America is not satisfactory.
It is to be regretted that the women
if they did bring about the harsh
restriction acted before they were
fully aware of what its consequences
would be.
Someone (to whom I am grateful)
took up the cudgels for me on my
stand on prohibition and in a letter
to a New York paper wrote:
"I am a busy man and hav nut
much time to write letters, but I can't
stand the sneering, cheap remarks of
certain papers in their accounts of
Mrs. Asquith's summing up of prohi
bition. "Mrs. Asquith did not give stories
of a vulgar nature,' 'depicting an in
dividual half-stupid with drink.'
(.Note the hard, Pharasaical way in
which they gloat over the word
drink.' Reminds me of the cheap,
old-fashioned 'temperance' poems).
She quite properly and honestly called
attention to the farce of prohibition
laws, merely voiced the opilnon of 80
per cent of all honest people when
she decried the unjust and unconsti
tutional 'blue laws' which the bigoted
and ignorant minority of the Cana
dian and American people are trying
to ehaM and enforce on the unwilling
majorities the real taxpayers.
"Would to goodness we had more
such women, fearlessly candid, broad-
minded and unhypocritical, like the
same aiargot Asquith. England, with
all her faults, will never pander to
the few fanatics who are the real op
pressors, depressors and joy-killers."
I was told that similar measures
are ' being considered, especially In
the women's "clubs," to prevent the
smoking of cigarettes. In fact, one
or two states already have antl-clgar-
eue laws.
The strange part is that such things
are considered, as they are called in
the United States, "moral issues." The
final passage of the prohibition
amendment was celebrated with serv
ices in some of the denominational
churches as though some great vie
tory for Christianity had been
achieved. Fancy making the eton
page of cigarette selling an object
of as great import as the Crusaders
considered the ransom of the holy
sepuicner.
In my opinion and I am a cigar
ette smoker the prohibition of smok
ing would be a silly and perilous med
dling With Individual liberty.
It Is apparent that mills of Amer
lean women consider smoking an evil
in itself; they think It morally wrong;
they regard it as virtually a sin.
Yet it is not such. Excessive smok
ing, like excessive eating, excessive
tea-drinking or excessive sleeping. Is
an evil any intemperance that un
dermines the health 1b an evil.
As a matter of fact, one sees every
day, not only In Europe but in Amer
ica, and I must confess among
American women, more victims of
over-eating and over-sleeping than
victims of either too much drink or
too much tobacco.
Some women of America, if one may
Judge from their newspapers and the
letters I received, are even consider
ing the lengths of their daughters'
skirts a moral Issue.
It Is safe to say, however, that the
majority of them" regard the short
skirt, if not too extreme, as a prac
tical blessing. .
For my part, asked a thousand
times about "flappers" and their
eklrtg, I could only answer: "What
on earth difference does it make?"
Flappers and their mothers Amer
ican women, all are tastefully, eco
nomically and sensibly dressed. The
best dressed American woman Is
probably the best dressed woman on
earth. The average American woman
is better dressed than any other
woman.
So, why should some of you strive
to make a moral lBsne out of a pass
ing vogue a fashion based on a
world movement for economy?
Surely, the women of the nation,
which produced Julia Ward Howe and
Jane Addams will notwaste their tre
mendous f ore tot,t good on trival
things like cigarettes and short skirts!
In no small "measure, parol Kennl
cott, heroine of fine novel "Main
Street" represents a great many
American women I-"have seen. I mean
those .American women who, deeply
in Wve with their husbands, still have
no part In their husband's careers.
No doubt a ponderable amount of
so-called "domestic trouble" in the
United States is caused by that fact.
Tha woman exists merely for the
man's entertainment outside his busi
ness life, and. In America his business
life is much greater proportion of his
whole existence than with us at home.
Chivalrous, thoughtful of her com
fort, generous and polite to his wife,
the American man seldom regards
her as his intellectual equal. He has
no' wish to let her help him with his
problems. He and she do not share
their work. But unless the partner
ship takes in every phase of life, I
do not think It turns out well.
Denied participation in his career
the wife seeks recreation ana means
of expression elsewhere often out
side her home life. And the husband,
thoueh he himself has, in 99 cases
out of 10-0, deliberately barred her
from participation In his career on
the ground that she could'not grasp
the intricacies of business, and that
her "place is in the home," neverthe
less frequently paves the way to a
fatal alien intimacy by business as
sociation with another woman!
English women have this advantage
over the American women or at least
a large number of the wealthier class;
they find more interest in their
homes, their gardens, their chil
dren than Americans, they read more
deeply; their knowledge of politics is
real and practical. It is thus that they
are able to achieve a closer intimacy
with their husbands. .
I hold Dr. Kennicott greatly to
blame for Carol's restlessness and the
failure of her life. He should have
charged her with certain responsi
bilities. He should have directed her
to visit his sick to help him in effect
ing their cures.
It is a boast of mine a fact of
which I am prouder than ever sinoe I
visited America that I walked step
by step with my husband, following
urerv event of politics, every detail
of career, for the 26 years of his
public life.
My husband's day lasted from 10 in
the morning to after midnight, would
follow him, whenever I could, to the
law courts In the morning, and
I listened to hour after hour of de
bate in the house of commons In the
afternoon and evening. Had I not
done that T would not have been able
to share his life. -
Kennicott was responsible for an
other lack In Carol's life and typifies,
to a large extent, the American man.
in his attitude toward the raising of a
family. The doctor of "Main Street"
decided to wait until he could afford
children much as though he would
put off buying a more expensive make
of motorcar.
There is unquestionably a tendency
among American women, inspired. I
am sure, by their husbands, to limit
the siie of their families. This is an
old subject, handled from the side
of the public weal by no less a per
sonage than the late Mr. Roosevelt.
On this side of the matter I need only
say I believe that the world Is gov
erned by the races of unrestricted
rrorenv.
Bat Carol would have found life
t &XT ChickaSiPDY

fuller and more Interesting had she
had a large family. She expended
much love upon herself; her children,
had she been allowed an average fam
ily, would have absorbed that love
and sanctified it; they would have
satisfied the yearning which she and
Kennicott so little understood. ,
"Main Street" la said to be typical
of a certain stratum of life in the
United States. Let me say, however,
on behalf of the smaller, Isolated
cities that I visited, that there was
a more genuine knowledge and Inter
est in world-wide affairs in such
communities than you could find in
similar communities in England; and
(I fancy I am repeating myself here)
I am positive that there is much more
knowledge of English politics, Eng
lish history and English affairs gen

It Is little enough I know of do
mestic life in America. Dashing hither
and thither on rocking trains, travel
ing Incredible distances between my
lecture halls by night and day, I saw
little of the life of the great ma
jority. Of the homes I did see, I have spoken
briefly previously, emphasising the
generous hospitality and the taste and
comfort that, to many Europeans, al
ways proves surprising.
What would most surprise people
of the Old World on their first visit
In the extraordinary conveniences and
arrangements for physical comfort in
American homes. The men of America
manifestly have vied in providing so
many labor saving devices, so many
meohanlcal means of amusing their
wives and families, that their women
and children, one would think, have
little to do by themselves, either at
work or play!
Baths . In number and elegance
hardly to be imagined by the British
housewife, electric cleaning machines,
telephones almost universal, motor
ears almost one to every three or four
households, gramophones and finally
the radio (wireless connections by
which private residences are fur
nished with daily "programmes" of
opera and readings) all contribute to
making the American home something
never dreamed of hitherto!'
It Is always dangerous to general
lie, but the American people, are a
hardy and strong race, and but for
the few cemeteries I have seen, I am
Inclined to think they never die. They
thrive in rooms as hot as conservato
ries, can sit up all night, eat candy
and ice cream all day, and live to a
great age upon either social or com
mercial excitement without leisure.
They are Just beginning to get away
from their old habit of devoting all
their time to business. With pros
perity so easily attainable in their
Immensely rich land, and so much
more room- for play than any other
country enjoys one would think that
outdoor, recreation would always have
been a more important aim.
The American business man, up to
a few years ago, found all his recrea
tion, his pleasure and ihis ambition in
his work. Not until our old Scotch
game of golf intrigued him did he
consent to tear himself away from
the desk to revel in the air land sun
shine. And bo far as the women are
concerned, old has not brought them
nearer their husbands; the "golf
widow" is an object of pity not al
together humorous I
Whether It is from the difficulties
of the climate, and the overheated
rooms, the voices of even the nicest
people in the United States appeared
to me to be loud, and however gen
erously vou may have been enter
tained, you are left with a sense of
suffocation which It would be .aii
ficult to explain. .-
The excuse of being a young coun
try will not continue to cover the rush
and noise and lack ot privacy mat
prevail: and the amount of small chil
dren that I have seen in hotels, ships
and restaurants, that go to bed at
midnight after sucking candy between
enormous meals, is not promising for
a nation which is always growing up.
Of course as far as devotion goes
the American mother has no superior
mothers are pretty much alike in
so far as love Is concerned. But moth
erhood is an art that needs cultiva
tion to attain perfection; it should be
more than Instinctive In its applies A
tion. The American woman must make
a study of its many requirements that
her children shall enjoy the best of
their unequaled heritage.

May 29 Recalled as Day
. Patriot Was Born.
Patrick Henry's Immortal Speeches
Brought to Mind.
RICHMONDi Va., June 8. May 29
was the 186th anniversary of the
bisth of Patrick Henry in Studley,
Hanover County, Virginia, and -the
157th anniversary of his submission
to the Virginia house of burgesses
here of a series of resolutions which
inflamed the public mind against the
stamp-act and made him leader of
the -colony. He offered the resolu
tions nine days after taking his seat
in, the house, and they were opposed
by all the members who had been
leaders of the body up to that time.
." The resolutions proposed by Henry
on May 29, 1765. defined the rights of
the colony and pronounced the stamp
act unconstitutional and subversive
of British and American liberty.
Henry advocated the resolutions in a
speech which Thomas Jefferson de
scribed as surpassing any he had
heard. Five of them were carried,
the last by a majority of one. All of
them were published, and Inspired
open antagonism to the existing Brit
ish rule.
Henry, acclaimed by John Ran
dolph of Roanoke as Shakespeare and
Garrick combined, was born in 1736,
son of John Henry, a Scotsman, and
Sarah Winston, who was of . English
descent. His paternal grandmother
was a cousin of a historian, William
Robertson, and of the mother of Lord
Brougham.
Henry contributed to the opening of
the regions west of the 13 original
states by sending out, as governor of
Virginia In 1777, the expedition under
George Rogers Clarke which won
from the British the territory north
west of the Ohio river. He was a
persistent advocate of the American
right to free navigation of the Mis
sissippi, the mouth of which was held
by the Spanish.
- The Virginian foretold the abolition
of slavery In an' address delivered
June, lt88, before the state conven
tion that ratified the federal con
stitution. In this connection he said,
"Slavery Is detested. We feel its fatal
effects; we deplore it with the pity of
humanity."

the '50b, when there was not
even a- trail between hem and
Salt Lake, a man arrived at a spot
not far from this place, slipped off
his horse and looked around. He saw
boiling water shooting up out of the
earth. When he got back to the other
side of the Teton range and told the
folks about it he established, for his
lifetime at any rate, a reputation of
being "the biggest ,liar west of St
Joe." ' '" . -
The man was Jim Bridger. and he
had discovered Yellowstone park. v
Few believed his tales , of sky-
mounting smokes and egg-boiling
geysers. "Loco" was the term ap
plied to Jim. That was long ago.
Yellowstone will in June celebrate
its semi-centennial as a national
park, for on May 1, 1872, congress
passed the bill creating It.. The open
ing day is June 18. Last year 81,651
people "made", the park. Officials
hope to see the 100,000 maVk reached
this season.
Park Idea Started. )
In 1869 Bridgets stories had result
ed In C. W. Cook and David Folsom
making the trip. They saw all that
Bridger had said and more. They
were, followed by the -Washburn ex
pedition. These army men got the
idea of a national park. In this party
were General H. D. Washbnrn, Lieu
tenant G. C. Doane and several civil
ians. "" .
The sky over Yellowstone National
park is not shell pink,!' says a mono;
graph of the American Forestry asso
ciation, "the trees are not blue, the
waters of the great lake In no wiee re
semble red Ink and the geysers do not
spout streams of molten metal, as
some have been led to believe. It is
possible to traverse the woodland
trails and pass many, trees without
seeing a grizzly bear. The buffaloes
and antelopes do not crowd the tour
ists and stages from the highways.
tt is quite possible to spend a week
In the park without being molested
by "denizens," as some nature lovers
delight in calling the hapless bears
and other animals of the park.
Everything; on Giant Scale. .
"Buffalo, antelope and bear abound
in this largest of national parks, and
they may be seen without difficult,
but that they are so numerous as to
interrupt one in the pursuit of pleas

ination.
"There are more natural phenomena
to be seen in Tellowstone National
park than .in any. other equal area In
the United States. Add to this the
fact that there is a great lake 15
miles wide at its widest point and 20
miles long, the placid surface of which
is 7800 feet above taw sea level; a
great gorge of rainbow hues through
which a mighty river roars on its
way to the sea; hundreds of square

scale. Distances are great, canyons
are of terrifying depth, mountain
peaks raise their lofty crests to in
conceivable heights.
"The northern and western en
trances are most used. In the early
history of the park most of the travel
came in by the northern entrance,
which is but a few miles from Fort
Tellowstone, where at one time was
stationed a very considerable force
of cavalry.

"From Tellowstone the road fol

with the Flrehole river, where iti
branches. One road follows' the Gib

follows up the valley of the Firehole.
The road along the Flrehole is par

miles to the very edge of the river
