TO-DAY AND TO-MORROW

"The Woman of To-morrow." Even more than the woman of today, the woman of ‘just to-morrow" ‘is’ intriguing people nowadays, and much is being said and written on the subject, ‘If things go on at this rate--" said Mrs. Grundy, only yesterday. imagination failed her, for she got no further, and now she herself has gone into short skirts, and is swinging a racquet and learning to Charlestou. Somsone has said ‘‘Women are news"; aud news they are likely to remain, so long as men write pewspapers and books. @ " "The Old Woman and the New." ‘Once, during the war, I watched the women of the English V.A.D. and an other organisation holding their athletic meeting. It was at St. Omer, on a French sports ground, We men -and there were many of us-were amused, surprised, and, 1 think, a little impressed. ‘These girls ran and hurdled and high-jumped, and turned out well-trained teams for the tug-of-war. And there was a grace about it all, a smiling keenness. ‘here were other women watching: French women, well perfumed, exhaling that something which a man likes to call femininity. And these French women were amused, and, I think, a little contemptuous. It seemed to me that you had on that field the old woman and the new, and that the French girl’ was thinking that the Iinglish girl had gone very much astray. The French woman still had her eyes on the man. Those girls who were running and hurdling had their eyes on the tape. All that happened during the war was, I think, symptomatic. Also, it was the sudden quickening of a tendency, an impulse. Skirts and hair began to shorten, The woman of the 1920’s was upon us.-Warwick Deeping. at ao bs No More Spiusters.
