THE WOMEN OP KISH
Really, the present-day woman has been misrepre­
sented. She is’ not ultra-modern. She is dreadfully old-
fashioned.
Discoveries in the ancient city of Kish, in Mesopo­
tamia, show that Sumerian women 5,000 years ago were
rouging their faces, beading their eyelashes, manicuring
their hands and carrying vanity cases. They were wearing
jeweled hairpins and silver band rings—the nearest they
could get to platinum and beads of lapis lazuli, along
with earrings of jasper and carnelian and bracelets of
gold, silver and semi-precious stones.
The men, it is emphasized, were wonderfully skilful
artisans. They had to be, to make all those lovely things
for the women.
Moreover, the old theory that feminine adornment is
a mark of sla\erv, put on merely to please the tyrant
man, gets a knock in the head in ancient Kish just as it
does today on Fifth Avenue and Main Street. Records
unearthed from those Sumerian tombs show that women
had equal rights with men, over themselves and their
property.

But as we give thanks for the preservation of our na­
tion on its great voyage of progress, we must think also
of our responsibilities of stewardship of such marvelous
blessings. Let us think of ourselves not as having at­
tained our goal, but simply, in the spirit of progress and
a great destiny, as having arrived at the shores of another
vast opportunity for serving humanity. Our unprecedent-,
ed power has been entrusted to us to use not merely for
our own purposes, but for the good of all humanity. We
are taught that the strong should help bear the burden
of the weak, the fortunates show 'compassion for the un­
fortunate and the enlightened lie eyes to the blind.
The highest expression of gratitude for blessings re­
ceived is service to the cause of a better world for all
the children of God.
