T H E history of Ihe race» which
I speak our language, three women
gave their names to the period In
à
which they lived.
The first of these wns Quec-a Ellxn
heth, of whom It could he ssld that all
her virtues were masculine; the second
wns Queen Anne, whose virtues were
feminine, nnd Ihe third wns Queen
Victoria, whose virtues were “ Vic
torlon."
Partly owing to the erowdej events
of Ihe Inst few years the "Victorian
period" seems to be a very long dis
tance nwny.
The Ides ot atrnngeneas Is nlso
strengthened by the changes which
have been brought about In the or
ganization of society owing to the
new place thnt women hold here and
abroad.
Lytton Slrnchey, a young woman ex-
THE CHECK BOOK
pert on the subject, brought out a sen
national book entitled “Queen V ic
torla.” which revived Intereat In the
lady who was the lending member of
her sex In her time.
Women who sre voting st elections,
who are silting In congress and parlia
ment. who are on the bench, and who
are memliers of the professions w ill
he struck by a curious paradox.
This strong-minded woman. who was
feared hy statesmen nnd whose Ideas
on many subjects affected people over
a large part of the world, while she
thought It wns all right for her to be
nt the head of an empire, hnd no sym
pattiy with the emancipation of her
slaters.
*
In 1870 she picked up a newspaper
one dny nnd found nil account of a
meeting In favor of woman suffrage.
She sat down and wrote a letter to
Theodore M artin In vhlch she snld:
"The queen Is most anxious to enlist
everybody who can speak or w rite to
Join In checking this mad, wicked folly
of 'woman's rights.' with all Its at
tendant horrors, on which her poor
feeble sex Is bent, forgetting every
<»
sense ot womnnly feeling and propri
ety.
“ Ijtd y ------ ought to get a good
whipping.
" It is a subject which makes the
queen so furious thnt she cannot con
tain herself.
"God created men and women d if
ferent—then let them remain each In
their own position
“Tennyson has some beautiful lines
on the difference of men anJ women
In ’The Princess.'
“Woman would become the most
hateful heartless and disgusting ot
human beings were she allowed to an
sex herself: and where would he the
protection which mnn wns Intended to
give the weaker sex?
“The queen Is sure that Mrs. Martin
agrees with her."
