A FALSE_THEN A PEACE CHAPTER CXXXVHI Ruth was quietly working, oné morning iong efter Brian had been decorated, when the sirens and tug whistlez began to blow; when all the bells in New York pealed out the news which quickly spread to all the bu houses; that. peace had come. War was over! Like the other houses, Mandel closed his store for the day. He 'and Ruth called up Mrs. Clayborne, ask- ed her 16 meet them, and then .went to one of the gay restaurants to watch the hilarity, and to join in the gladness the news had brought. All of them put aside all personal feeling save that of happiness for cournitry;* and for the lives which would be saved by this early peace. (Barly as far as America was con- cerned.) not ness Mandel took them home in his car when they tired of the confusion in the restaurant, driving them thru the the streets where the crowd had not made going impossible. All that eve- 'ning Ruth and her aunt talked of the wonderful news, of what it would mean to the country, to them, and to others. ----- "We will have to go right on giv- ing and working for some time," Mrs. Clayborne. remarked, "It will cost a lot to bring the wounded home and care for them; and for ships to bring the troops back. We must net think that we have done enough be- cause there will be a peace, after a little; we will have to keep right on for a year or two at least." "We will be willing, too!" Ruth re- joined, her voice gay with happiness Brian was coming, That thought had been with her every moment since she first understood what the sitens were trying to tell the people. Brian was coming had added to her gladness that the horrible war was over, that the murder of brave men, innocent women and children, would stop. Then came a doubt of the authenti- city of the news, Then it was denied. People who had exhausted their emo- tions when the false news came, went alfout depressed, some almost dis couraged. Ruth could scarcely keep still a moment. She bought every paper she could get so that she might Never had days seemed so long. The Sunday fol- lowing was interminable, Monday came, and with it also came the ratified news of peace. An- other wild wave of enthusiasm swept the country. Yet something of the spontaniety of the first celebration A A Ay {.

But a quiet happiness had taken its place in the hearts ef the more reserved of the population. 'Ruth was one of these. She and 'her aunt. They talked quietly to- gether at home; refusing to join Mr. and Mrs, Curtiss who were dining out to celebrate. , "I don't feel in the mood to-night" had been Ruth's remark, when her aunt left the decision with her. "Un- less you -care to go, I would far ra- ther remain quietly at home. I seem to have exhausted my desire for noise onthe false report." "Aunt Louisa," Ruth continued, after a time, "I wonder if you have forgiven me for marrying Brian?" "Why--of course," Mrs, Clayborne had flushed a little, and hesitated. Not that she gill felt as at first to- ward him, but that Ruth. had refer- red to it. 4 "1 hope so. It would make me bap- pier than anything (except: having { hie back) to know you two 'were good friends. You will stay with us?" Ruth had put the question calmly, but her heart was beating fast. She would know by her aunt's reply whether she had really forgiven her. "Yes--and no. There don't look so disappointed. JI will promise to spend half my time with you. I shall expect you and Brian, to come have the baby often." Ruth was content. Her aunt had sald "You and Brian." That she in- cluded him, showed that she was'at least resigned. 2 : How Ruth scanned the papers now, for news of which regiments and companys were {to be the first fo come back.

In your article "Suggestions and Reflections," you quote an explana- tion of this theory of fhe fama na- tute, but y friend the feminist apparently is not aware that this idea of the female sex is held hy men of every class and quality of mind.

It +4 because of this that they can play so irresistibly upon the vanity of man. "The simple 'minded male who finds a woman ready te respond to his advances feels' himself flattered to the very depths of his soul. He thinks that he is singled out as an exception to the great law of femi- tine indifference, . . . . "It. 1s a firm belief, this Simple creed, which is devoutly held by so many millions of man, most of whom goto their graves with their illusion still intact. And this illusion is one that is strengthéned and perpetuated in a thousand different ways. . . . . "But those whip know, those who have learned the secret of the pris- on house, know that nature is migh- tier than the strongest of conven- tions, stronger than all idealizations and infintely wiser, too. In her economy she has in fact assigned to woman the initiative in what relates to the pepetuation of the race. Man must do. many things. He must meet and subdue the forées of'earth and air and sea. And so to him, who has so much else to suffer and achieve, one thing. alone is not as signed, and that is the sex instinet in its full intensity. This is the one marvellous and terrible possession of woman, and to it she is dedicated for all time. Hers is the supreme joy as hers is the supreme agony of life; and in neither can man fully and completely share, and that is why she must have in fact if not i the- ory, the right to choose the one with whom she is to mate. It "is because of the conception of the sex relation and the female nature that while 'a woman takes the man she foves no matter how she gets him.' 'Men do not want discarded women,' as a writer says, 'it is the sankey among all races and religions." * It is because of "the average man," concerning whom we hear so much from men of anti-feminist per- suagion, boasts of his immoralities and holds the fallen woman "who tas been his 'vietim'" up to ridicule It has the most import- ant bearing, on the lives of women since it is the Teal double moral standard. Mr. Winston (Churchill in his fovel, "A Far "ountry," makes the hero give the following exeuse for his immoral life, "men were made differently rom women. They do not regard such things as so serious. Nature gave men desires." In his article in Plerson's Maga- zine for 1914, dealing with the double standard Dr. William How- ard says: "Silently she (woman) has had to put up with it all, this misunderstanding of her real nature. To hear men say they have to obey controlling impulses, and many wives hearing such statements remain gil- ent. Some become nervously affect. ed, while Sihers take to rampant volcings, or, wuppressing their true instincts, a life devoted to some really worth while cause, "We cultured people are the great- est hypocrites on rth. We . pro- claim to the world, the standard of mondgamy, we are practically poly- gamists, One wife at home and many outside being our actual so- cial state. No thinking man or wo- man can deny these. statements." Woman's greatest love is thought to be the mere: response to male de- mand, and everywhere we hear. this view expressed by men to justify the amoral standard."
