MAN OR WOMAN?

Who Has Tbe Better Time? "The issue is undeniably in favour of the manf both before and after marriage. Nature has endowed him with phyisical strength which is his protection against all other 'beasts of his kind.' Should he commit a sexual indiscretion he has no one to answer to and no penalty to pay. After marriage a man assumes the responsibility of wife and family; by way of prcviding for them he foHows the routine of his occupation for the required time daily. Immediately this has expired he is free. At week-ends he scans the newspapers, tinkers about the car or does a little gardening — in fact, whatever his heart desires. "Becall the old adage, 'Man works from sun to sun, but woman's work is never done. ' Sbfc has her daily routine, which is often performed under stress owing to pregnancy and its attendant ills. She is wife, mother, nurse, housekeeper, dressmaker, washerwoman and cook. "But even considering woman's many handicaps} I prefer her state. She has many fine virtues, and the illimitable and infinite joy of procreation. The appreciation of the noble, good and pure, and the power to transfer these ideals to the hearts and minds Of her children." The foregoing quotation expresses the opinion of one of the readers of "The New Idea" on the question, "Who has the better time — man or woman?" The issue of The New Idea for March 19 — now on sale — contains the opinions of other readers on this controversial question. You must not miss it. The New Idea is but threepence a copy.
