Perhaps Woman's Sacred Inﬂuence Was Not The Potent Force it was Thought to be in Former Times, but it Served to Steady a Man and Gave Him an Ideal Tov/ard Which to Strive Hus the modern woman cynically decided that it is u waste of time and

effort to try to rouse the better side of man. and so has concenratcd all or hcr appeal on his lower nature? i

\

It certainly looks that way. How else can you ex- plain the present nudity in fashion except on that ground, when every woman shears off her Skirts to her knees and rolls her stockings and makes _u wisp of chiffon serve to cover her body?

Formerly girls were taught accomplishments so that they might be attractive to men. but no girl would ever dream nowadays oi trying to lure a man into her parlor by playing the piano for him or sing- ing to him. Nor, no matter now well educated and in- telligcnt she might be, would a girl expect, to make - herself attractive to men by entertaining them with he" conversation. She would keep her music and her knowledge and her wit for her own private delectation and for talk wiiih other women and she would bank hcr chances for dates solely on her looks and her skill at dancing the Charleston and her warmth as a. petter.

The very techinque of courtship has changed. Even incur mothers‘ time the cnrapturccl youth looked up with refeiSn-e to the girl with whom he was in love as something higher, purer, more spiritual than he was. In moments of ecstasy he even went so far as to call her" an angel. And the girl felt that she could do not less than hold that. exalted pose and try to lift tnenien up to her higher plane. One of the pretty little byplays of courtship was that the girl was always reforming the young man and making nim promise never to swear again or use naughty words and never, never. never to touch intoxic- ating drinks or to smoke a wicked cigar."

Nowaday: a girl would feel herself highly insulted if a man called her an angel. She would think that he might as well call her o. ﬁat tire ‘and bc done with it and she would Fever expect to see him again except at a dis- } lame. She considers it u disparagement even to be thought good.

I she estceins being called a. good sport the highest compliment a man can pay her. Shc wants to be his pal and not his saﬂor, and so far from try- ing to reform him she goes on wild pa rties with him and can outdrfnk him and outcursc him and pinches his last cigarette.

Do you realize, when you M31) ‘to think of it, how long it has been since we have heard anything about "women's sazrcd influence"? -Why the phrase has ‘come to an absolutely mid-Victorian flavor. It is as passe as bustlcs or tilters or trails or ostrich feather plumes, and ivomcn have as complcteiy ‘Cast asidcone as they have the other. - l‘

, Yet there was a time. and no so long ago, either, when women-believed impiicity that they had within themselves something divine ~that worked miracles. They believed it was something occult that appealed to the best in men and drew men to them, even men whose own lives were rotten.

They believed it was something that would bring the wandering husband back to his faithful wife at last. They believed it was sometlllili; that WOW: hold a home together and be a. light in the window to guide the fcct of the children when they ivcnt forth about the business of life. They believed that it would somehow regenerate the world. Perhaps woman's sacred inﬂuence had never the power we ascribed to if. Perhaps women Qund out that it wasn't the magic to coniure with that they thoiight it was. Perhaps the scx appeal is more potent than the appeal to a man's soul and is regarded by more cakes and Mo. Perhaps it is easier and gaycr to go down the toboggan slide with a man than it in to cajole 18m into walking the straight and narrow path. Perhaps woman's new way oi deiiling with men ‘is more effective than the old women's ﬂllliqlll-Wd "WWW!- ‘a

But I doubt it. and I often wonder if the reason there is so much marital unhappiness, so many unfaithful husbands and so many divorces, so mam’ marriages that started out no prosperously and with such 800d PNBPBBW ind go on the rocks, is not that women have ceased to uPDBll to the best in men- and now cater to the lowest.

For, after all is said and done. the spiritual force is the stronzﬁst ‘m!!! in a man's llfc. It ls what he believes that holds him.» It is his ideals that determine his conduct. Take away from him all reverence for womanhood. all faith in its purity and ‘he has nothing left to cling to. Put the relationship between men and women on a purely physical basis and there is nothing to u but the desire of the eyes and it is no wonder that when the wife loses he:

beauty the husband passes on to some younger and fairer woman.

It is true that woman's sacred influence was not ls lll-DOWEYIHI ls SM thought it to be, but for all that it did awaken marry a man's slumberlns conscience and it did set many a. man's stumbling feet on the right road. Many a man was given the strength to do right because he, knew the woman he loved was praying for him.
