For the aecond tlm within a few
months San Francisco baa given the
world a church scandal. For thesecond
tlm th fact ha been established that ;

so effective as a statement of facts, T:ie

LEAP YEAR AND THE NEW WOMAN. !
This Is the first Leap Year for the New
Woman. Four years ago there were a
few Inklings and premonitions of her, but
she wras scarcely a fact. Now she Is i
very firmly established fact, and no mat
ter from whose brain she has sprung elie
undoubtedly has all her weapons with
her. How will she use them?
This Is not a fanch'ul queJtlon. The
nillent characteristic of Hie New Woman j
la that she Is the first New Woman '
(there have been n any editions of her) to '
go seriously to work to make hers .-If
lidiculous from a 3.nse of her duty to-
ward the experimental philosophy Pre-
Mou, New Women have cnlin-.d
selves either to discussion or to txperl-
ment along lines of last resistance or
most temptation.
But the present vaii- '
tty of the species is a tritie pedantic,
if she proposes to a man because she
wanted to, that would be one thin?. But
she Is capable of proposing to a man for
the sake of enforcing a principle. Anil
what Is a man, poor thing, to do thn?
Well, a race udjusts Itself to Its cn-
vlronment, and why not a sex? In the . ,"ie-.. ' n. or K.. payable by postal
