When Lovely Woman Gave Up Fainting
and Took Up Smoking Instead.
By G. BERNARD SHAW, English Man of Letters.

Masculine auVotalione were always a mistake.
During the movement for the liberal education of
women and their mimiKsicm to the professions, the
followers of John Stuart Mill and Henry Fawcett cut
their hair short, put on men's stilf collars and cravats,
wore waistcoats and shirtfronts and wutehohains, and
made themselves mannish 'above the waist while re
maining qnakerish below it.
The counter-movement has not balanced itself yet.
It culminated in the campaign of the sutTragets, which
was conducted with extraordinary violence and resisted with frantic sav
agery. Hut before it broke into volcanic eruption it had obliterated the
would-be manly women. The sulfragets insisted on their womanliness
much more consciously and strenuously than the ,rictorian women.
The manly pluwc, however, had established toleration for practices
which, though formerly conl'med to men, were really as proper or im
proper to women as lo men. For instance, women gave up crying and
fainting, and took to swearing and smoking.
When toy mother formed her habits, smoking by women, or even in
th;ir pre-nee. was rnhcard of. There was not even a smoking room in
the house. Men wen! down to the kitchen late at night and smoked up
the chimne). When women discoered that, the toleration and even the
practice of smoking was the price of male company, they first tolerated and
then practiced. The habit is one of the most extraordinary aberration.'
of our civilization, imposed on us as it was by the redskin at the climax
of the Renascence Men were always a little ashamed of it, and were ac
tually heading for its rentmr iation wh.'n women gave it an enormous im
pulse and made it quite shameless. In the nineteenth century we could
hope smoking might tlisapear in the twentieth. Now people who do
Dot smoke have to choose between stale tobacco and social ostracism,
A refinement wn supposed to be proper to women and roughness
nMir to men fifty years ago, the great increase in companionship be
tweou men and women during that period was bound either to refine the
men or roughen the women. It has done both. Tho feminine refinement,
which was only silliness disguised by affection, haa gone, and women are
hardier and healthier, ami the stock si.es of their clothes ara larger it
inse(uence.
The masculine vigor that was only boorishness, slovenliness and neg
lect of person and clothes ha-s tied before feminine criticism. Hut the
generalization that women are refined and men rough by nature is a super
ficial one, holding good only when, iw often happens, the iuau's occupation
ik rougher than the woman's.
'The Great Puritan Emirrration Was
Not the Foundation of America."
fly GU.UKKT K. CilESTEHTON. flritis'i Fannyist.
Whatever the great l'uritan emigration whs it w.ts emphatically not
the foundation of America. The Puritan emigration was not even tin
foundation of Knglish America, as distinct from Spanish America. At
least a whole generation before the Calvinist ipianels, one of the adven
turous antagonists of Spanish America had c-daMislit 1 the first defiant
frontiers of F.nglish America. KaJ.ugh and the Klpahcthans gave to their
c-olony a magnificent Flrabethan name, houcver little it niav have been
merited by Kliziibeth. Hut whether or no its origin was worthy of it, its
hi-torv was wholly worf't of it. Nolhinsr in the American story has h-oti
more truly heroic or humane, more truly ftted to last among men as a
b'ifi ud, than the story of what we may still lie tempted to call the great
ii.itioii of VirirmiH.
It is a commonplace to siv that Virginia was th very throne of the
authority of the devolution. From Virgin's came Washington, its hero,
and .l.vTersoii, its prophet. The stale ttat. known as the Mother of I'resi

GOOD OLD TIMES
iTROr. WINDYRPIEL delivered
XT fine lecture last evening," said
Mrs. Jamesworthy. . "He held up to
scorn the pessimist who nays the
world Isn't getting better, and de
scribed conditions as they were hun-
area years ago.
Then people trr
eled on foot or on
horseback, and a
,y)8hort Journey wu
sertons matter;
there were no tel-

venlenees we are
OtJaed to." , .
" ' "It 18 true there
I nconveniences In
those day." re-
"" ,,r""'" t .piled James
worthy, "and for that reason I think
the old times were better than the
present I only wish the old condi
tions could be restored. A hundred
years ago the married man had no
reason to dread the poorhouse. It
was practically Impossible for women
to be extravagant then. If they want
ed to 'blow themselves they had to go
to town, and In order to get to town
they had to ride in old coaches which
weren't as comfortable as a modern
hayrack.
"The woman of a hundred years ago
couldn't lean back in an easy chair
and order a hundred dollars' worth of
junk by phone. If she ordered by
letter, it took the letter three weeks
to get anywhere.and by the time the
goods arrived they were out of date,
and she had to send them back. It
would be a great blessing If things
were that way now.
"But the modern married woman
has the softest snap ever Invented,
Mrs. Jamesworthy. If she happens to
be too lazy to put on her brass-mounted
harness and go downtown to do her
shopping, she has that great modern
convenience at her elbow. It isn't
necessary to make herself presentable
to do her shopping. She sits down
with an old wrapper on, and her top
knot askew, and her mouth full of
hairpins, and calls up the butcher and
baker and candlestick maker, and or
ders everything they have In their
Joints, and has It charged to her hus
band. "Aa your sway-backed professor
said, a short Journey was a serious
business In the old days, and as a re
sult people stayed home and attended
to their knitting. If a woman Jour
neyed nine miles In one of the old
time coaches she had a backache for
three weeks, and so the Idea of going
away from home didn't fill her with
enthusiasm. But nowadays traveling
la a luxury. All a woman has to do
Is to hold up her husband for the fare,
and then the urbane railway people
do the rest, and make everything so
comfortable for her that she bates the
Idea of ever returning home. And be
cause of this luxury, women are for
ever hunting up excuses for a trip
somewhere. Kerstnith told me the
other day that his wife traveled three
hundred miles and back to match a
ribbon, the local stores not having the
exact shade she wanted. Kersmtth Is
Just about three cubits ahead of the
sheriff, and his wife knows It, but she
wouldn't let a small matter like that
Interfere with her trip.
"In the halcyon days people used to
tallow candles and were all the better
for it. There was no satisfaction In
rending by a candle, so men didn't
iilow In their substance for fool books
and tmiUMziues. The candles kicked
up such a smell that they were extin
guished as early as possible, and so
no money was wasted. Now we have
Ihe electric Unlit, which Is a great con
venience. It is such a thundering eon

innumerable heartsick husbands. The

convince bis wife and daughters and
other female relatives that the electric
Juice costs money, and so his home Is

BENEFIT IN TOWN PLANNING
Unreasonable to Think That, Without
Guidance, Events Will Shape Them,
selves to Best Advantage.
Town planning, city planning and
country planning, as well as the plan
ning of national highways, waterways,
and so on. have made It more and more
evident during the last few years that,
though the earth can be depended up
on to turn rightly upon Its axis, things
upon the earth cannot profitably be
left Just to grow, like Topsy. There
Is a vast difference between a river
running wild and one laden with ship
ping and furnishing valuable water
power; between c road determined as
to course by a cowpath, following the
direction of least resistance, and one
that serves to the utmost the inter
ests of those who use It; between na
tional park areas where certain selfish
Interests have encroached and those
In which playground and beauty have
been faithfully maintained; between
a community where every private In
terest has fought for power and place
and one where residents, merchants,
manufacturers and public have re
ceived Just consideration in view of
the Interests of all. It Is even as the
difference between the seeds planted
by the farmer according to the funda
mentals of good gardening and those
which grow as they may In the thicket

Flower Boxes Instead of Trees.
The shores of New Kngland, all the
way from southern Connecticut, which
is almost suburban to New York city,
to the farthest reaches of the rocky
Maine coast, abound In villages whose
natural beauty, especially very near
the water, Is marred by their paucity
of foliage, for tr"es do not thrive
close to the ocean. Of late years there
has grown up, particularly In the com
muultles which have a summer influx
of visitors, a determination to beauti
fy the barren treeless spots by the
typically Kngllsh device of the flower
box. Hundreds of summer cottage
properties which would, by reason ot
their lack of shade trees, look barren
and commonplace, achieve something
of real distinction ty having theii
