ROFESSOR MURRAY found a like- ness between the effects of the Pelo- ponnesian War and of our great war in the disturbance that it caused in the minds of women. Aristophanes is full of that. Women were uncomfortable, dissatisfied, obstreperous. The war in Greece lasted twenty-seven years, and that is time enough for all the emotions that war can produce to develop and find expression. Women are now disturbed all over the world—less so here, probably, than in other countries, and with much less cause, but flustered enough here to cause much remark and a considerable amount of expostulation. Their raiment has been changing for five or six years, and all in the direction of candor. It is not at all certain that that is a bad direction, but it is a little upsetting to conservative minds. Dr. Hibben, of Princeton, made it the subject of very pointed remarks in his baccalaureate address. He said the girls’ mothers put them up to experiments with a minimum of raiment, which is surprising, and though doubtless true in cases that came to his knowledge, will hardly be accepted as true generally. Testimony from Boston is quite to the contrary. The clergy of the Catholic Church are quite frank in reproofs of women who belong to that Church and who do not, in their opinion, conform to standards of due decorum in attire. Some of the Protestant clergy are equally vehe- ment in expostulation. It is all curious, interesting and significant of mental ac tivity of some sort, and of course it all belongs in the class of matters that will come out in the wash. Either women will wear more clothes, or people will get used to less clothes. Which happens does not greatly matter. clothes being a convention anyhow. It was part of the calculations of some of the advocates of Prohibition that all the emotions of men would hecome more languid and orderly if they ceased to have access to rum. That that is true may well be doubted. The great tie that binds man to earth is woman. Without that tie he would undoubtedly quit. Give him a cer- tain amount of alcohol and it may make his great natural solace somewhat less indispensable to him, so that if necessary he can worry along with a minimum of 3, SENATE BUNKER OL5 GUARD HIAZARD A BAD female society.
