SHE-NO DG Lectures More about the Esthete I HAVE suggested to you, dear sisters, how often we find that woman exacts beauty in all things that pertain to home, including husbands. But it is not enough that the beauty microbe should infect the home. It crawls into the dealings that woman has with that horny-handed world called labor. How many helpful Hildas, how many competent Coras, ranged a, the drear walls of our employment agen- cies, are ruthlessly scorned because their pulchritude shines within the soul and not without the skin! While man dis- counts dimples and dash, frowns on frizzes and shudders at shapes, woman, in her insatiable search for looks, vociferously demands cleaners with complexions and cooks with curves. And so it is that the floods of clamorous claimants for the hon- orary title of D. D. (Domestic Drudge) are barred from fireside gymnastics, and the servant problem goeth forth wailing throughout the land. And, then, how our worthy tradesmen suffer! Who is getting rich to-day in the emporiums of chops and shirtwaists? Is it he who has the best meat or the best mustache? Is it food or feet, eggs or eyes, cheeks or cheese, hair or ham? Do prices win or prettiness? Let our stom- achs and pocketbooks groan an answer, and let us bow our heads in shame that we belong to the sappy sex. Yet, when we see that even the stage is affected by female estheticism, so that petticoated mobs attend the’gyrations of @ gorgeous and gaudy Maude Adams, neglecting the while the ethereal and spiritual charms of a Lillian Russell, let us brace ourselves with a mighty vow Emma o f that we will keep women from the sacred arena of politics. For what will they demand, my sis- ters? Hand-painted ballots, beribboned voting booths, flower-decked platforms, speeches set to music and rose shaded halls, such as burst into being in the Lor nostas AN OFFICER OUR STREETS NEED wake of the enfranchised female of the West. Worst of all, obsessed by their likings, they will vote en masse for the handsomest candidate that rears his head above the common herd of tax-paying nonentities. And if we thus drained the finances of our parties, depriving some RIVA OMAN Caustic patient politician of his rightful graft, who could justify such a shameful waste of public moneys? None of us who think, Yet this is not all. If women vote, and time, money, energy are all poured at their feet in wanton prodigal- ity, it may be all for naught. For, while colors and ribbons and bands abound to satisfy the most exacting taste, where, I ask you in despair—where, judging from the campaign pictures of the past—where shall we find a handsome candidate? Can you not hear the home stampede of the feminine army routed by the first male countenances that meet their dizzy view? Verily, you can. Let us, therefore, rise in our might and in crescendo accents protest against the entrance of the esthete into a realm where beauty is as out of place as a pebble in a pie.
