“PITIFUL CARICATURES.”
"If I were a man, I believe the sight of femininity as we see it in public day after da}' would so .surfeit me with its eternal suggestion that I should become a woman-hater/’ says ‘‘An Old-Fashioned Person" in an article in the “Girls'* Own Paper/* “I would seek the open couutry and pitch iny tent, beside a stream, hoping that if a woman came.upon my horizon it would be a lass in rough shoes and cotton dress, driving the cows to pasture or herding the sheep on the hills—anything but a woman that tries to keep up* with the present-day fashions 1 There are times, she says, when she feels such disgust with “tho pitiful caricatures of womanhood who stalk the streets of the great city in interminable processions all clay long'* that her heart harks back to farmhouse kitchens to find there some plain busy woman, and to heal its aching over the follies of the sex in her big comforting presence.
