AVID GRAHAM PHILLIPS In
the current number of the Cos

this " opinion of the "new"
' American woman; that she Is an ex
' otic, an orchid and to mate such
an erotic with the cabbage, the po
." tato, 'the turnip, the onion, the cax-
rotto link the new .American wo
man ' with the American man- is a
' performance to make the aesthetic
shudder and the practical thunder
ously protest; that the craze" for
""culture" has swept like a pestilence
through ihe J land, ? lnf octlng thou
sands, hundreds of thousands of the
- women whom latter day Industrial
conditions have released from the la-
bor that absorbed and kept sane our
mothers and our grandmothers and
so, made our progress possible; that
the "cultured" American woman ex
poses her beautiful soul like a pea
, cock's tall, pities herself in her lot
of having to live with a sordid money-grubbing
man and spends the re
sults of the grubbing freely In adorn-

1 Jesus would have hesitated to shield
from the stoners; and if he ad seen
her In the Temple when he went to

not have spared them?
Some of us know the type of wo
man at whom the late author never
once missed a chance to hurl a phil
ippic; others of us have heard of
her through the thunderings of those
. writers, who, like Phillips, hav lit
tle Regard for the refinements of
life, and a consuming passion for the

Beaumont and Fletcher,
Like so many other women of history,
most writer, hav. painted Catherine de'
Medici in her very worst light. They
have taken the opportunity. In many of
her missteps, to magnify them and to
so embellish and color them as to make
her appear a fiend Incarnate. Even
women writer., b. It said to their
shame, hav. pictured her as a character,
the mention of whose nam. must bring

J. Richmond, In h.r "Woman, First and
Last," styles Catherine "Th. female
Nero of history."
It is with great difficulty that we are
today able to Judge of the true estimate
of historic characters. In the broad en

are being modified.

historian. She has, however, found one

Instead she exercised a loving, careful
