It is woman suffrage with the bark off, for while woman suffrage wants us to change our ways of doing toward Tyomcnj. jfpininls™ riemnnris that we ehangeour waysofthlnklng about women. Feminism is the first crust on the loaf of man’s daily bread, and the loafer who knows on which side his bread is buttered will eat crust with crumb. It Is the. lemon on the peach tree in the garden of love, and wise is the man who has sense enough to give that lemon-ade.
