amusing to notice how our lexicons which furnish quite a list of qualities that enter into manliness are at a loss when the time comes to enumerate others which are distinctively womanly). What sort of manliness would that be which should be destitute cf these? Put all the first named qualities together with these in a single person, and if that person be a man he will be manly, if a woman she will be womanly. Either may be or may not be cultured and accomplished; cultivation enriches, accomplishment embellishes both womanliness and manliness, they cannot make nor become a substi- tute for either. Now in man these qualities are exhibited in the activities which his family, social, business and g)litical duties call out. In woman they are exhibited in the activities which her duties demand. ut the “spheres of man and woman are by no means so distinct, in fact, as some theorists would like to have us believe. If men vote they also tsome of them) sew and cook and they need not part with an iota of manliness in doing either. If women bear children and nurse them, they also (some of them) support their children, and not seldom their children's father, by their enterprise and labor, and they gain, not lose, in womanliness by doing it. What we mean by woman’s sphere is nothing more than the scope of activity which is conventionally conceded to her. But this conventional concession is not a fixed thing, it is a changing one. No one needs to be reminded that it embraces to-day many departments which it once excluded, why should any one need to be admonished that it will include at the end of the twentieth century many things which the end of the nineteenth century excludes? These owls that blink their eyes in the growing light and wait to see the shadows move backward! The womanliness of the twentieth century will be just like the womanliness of the centuries that preceded it; it will consist in exhibiting the qualities above named in the doing of what ever her hand finds to do. What that shall be will not be determined by fable or philosophy, by decree or dogma, by priest or politician, but by herself listening to the calls that come out of her changing environment and responding to them. When the scroll of history shall have unrolled to its now infolded end, woman's sphere may be interpreted, and at the same time man's will be better understood. JOHN B. VAN METER.
