32118CHAPTER XIII WHAT OF THE JEWISH HOME?
32118I recently heard the recital of a bit of conversation between parent and child:"Mother, is card playing terribly important?"
32118Is it to serve or to be served?
32118Need I make clear that the homes of too much are as gravely imperilled as the homes of too little?
32118Now why do camps so speedily multiply, and why are children being sent to them in droves?
32118Now, what can you say for yourself?"
32118Out of what kind of homes have come these young women, whose quest is of complexion- wafers?
32118Quite innocently I asked:"Where is the little gentleman?"
32118Shall we say parliament, seeing that in Parliament and Congress it is reputed to be the habit of men to plead for truth rather than for victory?
32118So I thought that the game must be awfully important and the prizes very fine or they would have arisen when grandma entered, would n''t they?"

32118The ultimate responsibility?
32118WHAT OF THE JEWISH HOME?
32118What is your son''s ideal of living?
32118What kind of mothers will these young women make?
32118What of it in this day and generation?
32118Who does not know of young people marrying in order to escape from the home?
40209But who shall make light of the agonies often gone through in those first few years of married life?
40209The youth too( does it not seem strange?)
16221Is this where the most beautiful princess in the world lives?
16221And what is the object they have in view?
16221Are we once more forced to appeal to the educators?
16221Are we perhaps at least twice in life''s journey dimly conscious of the needlessness of this disruption and of the futility of the despondency?
16221But what has happened to these wretched girls?
16221But what of the millions of boys who are now searching for adventurous action, longing to fulfil the same high purpose?
16221How has it come about that so many of the city youth are not given their share in our common inheritance of life''s best goods?
16221How has this tremendous force, valuable and necessary for the foundation of the family, become misdirected?
16221Is it only the artists who really see these young creatures as they are-- the artists who are themselves endowed with immortal youth?
16221Is it so difficult to utilize this ardor because educators have failed to apprehend the spiritual quality of their task?
16221Is not this a striking commentary upon the contradictory influences to which the city youth is constantly subjected?
16221Socrates asks:"What are they doing who show all this eagerness and heat which is called love?
16221Through whose fault has this basic emotion served merely to trick and deride them?
16221What could be more exciting to a lad than a traffic in a contraband article, carried on in this mysterious fashion?
16221What could she do if he were sent to prison and she were left free?
16221What do we do to encourage and to solidify those moments, to make them come true in our dingy towns, to give them expression in forms of art?
16221When girls"go wrong"what happens?
16221Who is responsible for forgetting this message delivered by the"best Christian people"two thousand years ago?
16221Who is responsible for its inadequacy and dangers?
16221Who is to blame that the lambs, the little ewe lambs, have been so caught upon the brambles?
16221Why are their tender feet so often ensnared even when they are going about youth''s legitimate business?
16221Why has this beneficent current cast them upon the shores of death and destruction when it should have carried them into the safe port of domesticity?
16221asks a little girl peering into the door of the Hull- House Theater, or"Does Alice in Wonderland always stay here?"
15420[ 23] What are some of the other points at which the investigation of cases of desertion may differ from the technique generally accepted? 15420 A further question then arises: Shall the man return to his home at once or first undergo a probationary period? 15420 And how distinguish infallibly between sex factors, temperamental traits, and mental disabilities? 15420 And if so, what are the danger signals? 15420 Are his habits such as to make him a fit inmate of the home? 15420 Are there any ways to reduce the number of these mischances? 15420 Are there other considerations, however, that modify the technique of inquiry into these desertion cases? 15420 But are the two groups co- terminous, or do they only partially overlap? 15420 But do the 96 represent forced marriages as ordinarily thought of by the social worker? 15420 Can alcoholism and drug addiction be separated from mental and physical disorders? 15420 Can any adjustment of temperaments be made which will lessen incompatibility? 15420 Careful consideration must be given the elements involved: What causes probably operated to bring about the rupture in family relations? 15420 Has she enough firmness of character to carry out a plan to which she has agreed? 15420 How much are we thinking about cures for inebriates, psychoanalysis, vocational guidance, recreation?
15420II WHY DO MEN DESERT THEIR FAMILIES?
15420If not, what further factors entered to lower the threshold of resistance to disintegration in this particular case?
15420If there have been other desertions what does their history show?
15420If you can raise yourself to be foreman, will you then have to live in the same uncomfortable quarters?
15420Is he capable of supporting the family?
15420Is it possible, however, to recognize a"pre- desertion state?"
15420Is the man''s willingness to return a sign of real change of heart and purpose, or is he merely afraid of punishment?
15420Is the wife willing to have him return?
15420Judge said:''You ca n''t keep up$ 10 a week-- how much can you give?''
15420Mrs. Solenberger[43] has noted, however, that if they are asked, not"Are you married?"
15420The first question to ask oneself, therefore, is"Will it not be worth while to go myself?"
15420WHY DO MEN DESERT THEIR FAMILIES?
15420What are her motives?
15420What are some concrete suggestions, developed from the experience of case workers, as to how to proceed in searching for deserting men?
15420What is it that makes this plant called marriage so tough of fiber and so difficult to eradicate from even the most unfriendly soil?
15420Would all marriages so handicapped turn out as badly?
15420but a less direct question such as"Where is your wife now?"
32512And what is that?

32512A woman, cognizant, as all Florence was, of the circumstances said to him:"Since you barely dare to look at Beatrice, what can your love for her be?"
32512Ah, wilt thou slay me lest I kiss thee dead?
32512Apollonius asked:"Is it true that Helen went to Troy?"
32512At the marriage of Cana he said to his mother:"Woman, what have I to do with thee?"

32512CHORUS OF ODALISQUES Whither is thy beloved gone, O pearl among women?
32512If to him Egeria came, would it not, a poet somewhere asked, be uncivil to depict her as less than he?
32512In the_ Somnambula_ the tenor sings_ O perché non posso odiarte_--Why can I not hate thee?
32512On seeing them one does not say, Can this be Sappho?
32512Regrettez- vous le temps où le Ciel, sur la terre, Marchait et respirait dans un peuple de dieux?

32512Si Vénus de retour sous son joug me ramène?
32512Si j''ai regret de ma première chaine?
32512Si je refuse à l''autre, et te rends mon amour?
32512THE CHORUS(_ astonished at the_ SHULAMITE''S_ scorn of the King._) Who is it that is beautiful as Tirzah but terrible as an army in battle?
32512What shall we do with her when she is spoken for?
32512Where is Agathon?
32512Which way did he turn, that we may seek him with thee?
32512Would she fish, would she walk, would she drive?
32512You can not be a goodly knight except you are?"
1689Do n''t you know that we women might be dead and buried if we waited for politicians and lawmakers to right our wrongs?
1689Shame they go, but what can do?
1689She never sleeps,explains the old woman,"how can she with so many children?"

13610Another medical man wrote that if so, what would happen to the patients of menstruating lady doctors?
13610But is not a doctor free to do everything for the good of the patients intrusted to him by Providence?
13610But why this delay, if time is precious, and it enters as an important factor in the case?
13610Can not a doctor thus devote himself?
13610Can one be surprised at the force of a habit, the slightest infractions of which are punished with such atrocious shame?

26280IV TELLING THE TRUTH Should the mother tell pleasant but totally false stories as to the origin of the child,--or should she tell the truth?
26280Is it not a sign that he has a good reasoning mind?
26280Is not that just what we want him to do?
26280It is now time to answer the question,"What is to be done with the older child who has received little or no preliminary instruction?"
26280One of the questions most frequently asked is this: Does not talking about these things fix the child''s mind unduly upon them?
26280Should children never gather flowers, then?

26280The question is often asked, Is it not better for the father to talk to the boys, the mother to the girls?
26280The question is often asked, should not the story of motherhood precede that of fatherhood in all this early teaching?
26280The question is very often asked, Should this subject be taught in schools?
26280The question naturally arises,"Is this enough to insure morality and personal purity in the youth?"
26280Then the question is, Which is better, to run that risk and take the consequences, or to run the risk of allowing the child to remain ignorant?

16577Has it no essential relation to the world''s movements?
16577Has the woman democratized the department of labor she controls?
16577Has this shifting of responsibility no relation to the general lowering of our commercial and political morality?

16577Is it not part of her business to help settle her servants in matrimony?

16577Is man the calculating tyrant the modern uneasy woman charges?
16577Is she in no way responsible for it?
16577Is there no place in it for economic independence?
16577Moreover, is woman never a tyrant?
16577Or is she suffering from the generally bungling way things go in the world?

16577What were the women doing in the town?
16577Where does the average American woman come out in applying this test?
16577Why does she not recognize their meaning and grapple with her labor problem?
16577Why does this greatness so rarely find expression in their professional undertakings?
16577Why is it not worn to- day?
16577Would she not rise to her part and we not have at last the"new woman"of whom we have talked so long?
26117Almost every man,says he,"may be gained some way, almost every woman any way, can any thing exhibit a stronger caution to the sex?"
26117What,said the king,"dost thou not know me?"
26117And is it not a valuable loan to be paid by a mighty sacrifice?
26117And leave in so cool and defensive a state, that sex, which in all other climates is apt to be the most offensive and indecent?
26117And will not that too readily occasion jealousy, envy, and all the unamiable effects of mutual_ rivalship_?
26117Are we superior to them in what belongs to the male character?
26117But can such an aim be pursued without frequent competition?
26117Can such a friend be loved too much, or cherished too tenderly?
26117Do not the generality of you dress, and appear above your station, and are not many of you ashamed to be seen performing the duties of it?
26117He again said, more distinctly,"Do you promise to preserve it?"
26117If they commit faults, why should they not suffer correction?
26117Is not the course which you steer in life, almost entirely directed by vanity and fashion?
26117Is not the levity, dissipation, and extravagance of the women of this century arrived to a pitch unknown and unheard of in former times?
26117Is not the woe of separating generally in the same proportion as the bliss of uniting?
26117Is not this a proof, that, through the wide extent of creation, the seeds of delicacy are more liberally bestowed upon females than upon males?
26117It has long been a question, Which of the two sexes is most capable of friendship?
26117Now, I appeal to any one, whether that could possibly have happened, had there been any women there?
26117She then receives compliments according to their manner:"Why, my mother, or my sister, have you been so long absent?
26117Sure nature made thee her peculiar care: Was ever form so exquisitely fair?
26117The bishop then said,"Thanks be to God;"and she bent forward and reverently kissed his hand, while he asked her,"Will you be blest and consecrated?"
26117To produce these, is it not fit they should be peculiarly sensible to the attention and regards of the men?
26117Were such conviction frequently repeated, what might we not expect from it at last?
26117What is correctness in taste, purity in morals, truth in science, grace in beauty, but simplicity?
26117What kindness can we show to our female children, equal to that of relieving them from such servitude, more bitter a thousand times than death?
26117What rational prospect of happiness can there be with such a companion?
26117Which is better, or more worthy, the male or the female sex?
26117Why should they not serve us with whatever we call for, and afterwards sit down and eat up what we leave?
26117Why should they there transport that sex beyond decency, which in all other climates is the most decent?
26117Would it be reasonable to condemn him on these accounts?

33111How can this be explained?
33111How could love have a chance to decide the question of marriage in the last instance under such conditions?
33111How did this agree with the prevailing practice of match- making?
33111How did this"robber marriage"originate?
33111If, however, an exception is to be made, who is so well entitled to authorize her as her first husband who bequeathed his property to her?
33111If, however, perfect freedom of decision is demanded for all other contracts, why not for this one?
33111McLennan further asks: Whence this custom of exogamy?
33111Since monogamy was caused by economic conditions, will it disappear when these causes are abolished?

28812And does the mother- woman warm the eggs as the bird in the nest does, mamma, while the papa- man brings her nice things to eat?
28812And the birds, mamma, have they stamens, and eggs inside? 28812 And would n''t the seeds grow, or the little plants come up, if the bee had n''t gone to the flowers, mamma?"
28812But if he carried it away how could it get into the flower''s ovary?
28812But in reality he did a great deal, for he-- what shall I say-- married? 28812 But, mamma,"she asked,"why should the bee wish to see my nose, even if he did think it might be a flower?
28812But, then, mamma, who could tell which was the father or mother, and which was the child? 28812 But,"she continued, her bright eyes eagerly turned on her mother''s face,"we do n''t eat the buttercup, mamma, do we?"
28812Do you think you can remember all that, darling?
28812I wish to find out where I came from, and you are going to tell me that, are n''t you?
28812Oh yes-- and would that have been right?
28812Oh, then force or growth was the first stamen, mamma?

28812Yes, darling, but do you see any honey here?
28812Yes, dear, in order to reproduce their kind they must have-- why?
28812You were going to say the bee, were n''t you?
28812And do you wish me to remember that name too?"
28812And how can a bee possibly marry them?"
28812And what do you suppose happened?"
28812But what would happen then?
28812But why did he go to the other flower-- didn''t he get all he wanted from this one?"
28812Can you guess what it is?"
28812Do bees eat flowers, mamma?"
28812Do n''t you think now that what the bee did was quite an important matter, even if it did seem so trivial?"
28812Do we rear our children as we should?

28812Now, suppose you count those flattened, round- cornered parts of the buttercup-- how many are there?"
28812Of course you ca n''t think how it did that, can you, dear?"
28812Or were they just brother and sister, or two brothers?"
28812She thought a moment, then,"Could he marry my nose to anything?"
28812So the name of this one is-- what?"
28812That has an ovary, and every male plant has a stamen, and I think you said that they must have, did n''t you?"
28812That must have been very, very long ago, was n''t it?"
28812The fact is recognized, but is the duty fulfilled?
28812The little baby buttercups would begin to grow right away, mamma?"
28812Then she asked:"What did the bee want to see my nose for, mamma?"
28812Why do you say they marry?
28812With a certain kind of help they can and do grow, and what do you suppose that help is?"

59480The problem is: How can poverty be abolished?
59480The question is, Where does the immorality come in?
59480The question was thus raised-- What is obscenity?

324795 Well, what shall we do?
32479America wanted to protect her interests, but does it follow that she should protest against atrocities which do not menace her interests?"
32479And we men who wear uniform, does not our individuality manage to attract?
32479Are there any special female tendencies?
32479Are they?
32479Blister we not for_ bursati_?
32479But why does it fare so ill?
32479But, honestly, does this amount to anything?
32479Case 8:"How can you be so mean?"
32479Does any one doubt that a visit to the minister, say, in the autumn, might have altered the complexion of things?
32479For labor makes woman less attractive and to be attractive is rather a trap: how much higher can a woman rise?

32479Is that quite right?
32479It is a pity, but thus it is; so what is the use of thinking that the modern family must endure?
32479It is no longer property, for how can one prevent a child from pulling down the window sash at night when it knows something of ventilation?
32479It may well be that, where woman does not exhibit jealousy, she is with masterly skill suggesting to the man a problem: why is she not jealous?
32479It seems to me that the chief reply is,"Why did you have that child?"
32479It will be asked,"Why should a parent pay for the support of a child who will not live in his house?"
32479Not follow a fashion?
32479Or give it an iron tonic when it realizes that full- blooded people can not take iron?

32479The Investigator:"But why should he go if he did n''t want to?"
32479The child has changed; it is no longer the creature that, pointing to an animal in the field, said,"What''s that?"

32479What is the conclusion to be drawn?
32479What objection can you have to my getting engaged?"
32479What one will no longer be able to tell is a rich woman from a poor one; and who is to complain of that?

32479to your wall- paper?"
32479yes, that reminds me, did you go to the library and get me Roosevelt''s book on the Amazon?"
40623Coming now to those rare men of whom we have only a few in a century, how were they produced? 40623 And Luther Burbank has well said:Heredity means much; but what is heredity?
40623Are there alternate male and female ova?
40623Can there be anything more ridiculous and insane?
40623Does that look like race suicide?
40623For what device of man, ever since man had any history at all, has not proved sometimes injurious?
40623How does the mental impulse reach these cells and others of similar nature in the system?
40623How does this co- operation and co- ordination of effort and subconscious will arise?
40623IS BIRTH CONTROL UNNATURAL?
40623IS IT IMMORAL?
40623IS IT INJURIOUS TO HEALTH?
40623In her vigorous tongue she is demanding"What is all this secrecy about, anyway?
40623Is Birth Control opposed to Religion?
40623Is not this the very antithesis and opposite of all that concerns abortion or abortive methods?
40623Of what use have all the lectures, books, and maternal injunctions been to her?
40623Pray how is the mother''s reading of history to make the child a historian?
40623Shute says:"As influencing a man''s life and character, which is the strongest factor, heredity or environment?"
40623So, when we get to the root of the matter, the whole question of"Does Birth Control tend toward Race Suicide?"
40623The answer to those who urge that"Birth Control is contrary to the teachings of the Catholic Church"is:"Well, what of it?
40623The question then is being anxiously asked:"What are the conditions which assure the finest quality in our children?"
40623The question, then, to many intelligent persons is not so much that of"Should contraception be employed in order to avoid excessively large families?"
40623To each case he applies his question:"Where and how did those generations of animals get that power which they transmitted but did not inherit?"
40623What would we think of expecting a woman to cook, without previous experience and without even the most elementary instruction on the subject?
40623What would we think of expecting any person to undertake any important task or duty without experience or instruction regarding the same?
40623Where and how did those generations get that ability which they transmitted but did not inherit?"
40623Where are tears while they remain unshed?
40623Where, it may be asked, if not among the most educated classes, is any process of amelioration to be initiated?
40623Why not begin today?"
40623Why should we not throw aside the mask of cowardly hypocrisy, and stand before the world showing ourselves as just what we really are?
40623as that of"Should not contraception be employed to obviate the crime of abortion with its terrible train of consequences?"

12226Why do n''t we do something about it? 12226 Why do you let them take her home away from her?"

12226Are you sure you know this?
12226Are you willing to know the facts about the world, the underworld, from which the girl who cooks your food and takes care of your children is drawn?
12226As a plain matter of cause and effect, what kind of a moral situation would you expect to evolve out of these materials?
12226Ask a girl,"Why do you go to the dance hall?
12226Can they ever hope to do more than reclaim a few individuals?
12226Can you not imagine that it might be different from the one you live in so safely and comfortably?
12226Can you picture them at night, streaming with light, gay with music, filled with dancing crowds?
12226Could a more inverted scheme of things have been devised in a madhouse?
12226Could nothing,_ nothing_ be done?
12226Could they stand together in an industrial struggle which promised to be long and bitter?
12226Did she need it to support herself?
12226Do n''t you think eight hours a day is enough for a girl to walk?"
12226Does any one question that this is the most important political fact the modern world has ever faced?
12226Does that sound like justice to you?
12226For who, of her own free will, would contract to work ten hours a day for less than the price of life?
12226Have any of you crossed my corner of the park since the snow melted?"
12226If she chose to go with a group of girls to a dance hall, what harm?
12226If women had the guardianship of their children, would anything prevent them from taking the children and leaving home?
12226In case of war and pillage could she defend it?
12226Is the house yours?
12226Nine times in ten her answer will be:"What should I do with myself, sitting home and twirling my fingers?"
12226She was silent for a moment, then she said:"Do you know that every time you send me to the pantry it means a walk of three and a half blocks?
12226That is-- of course you are recorded at the city clerk''s office?"

12226What more could they possibly ask?
12226What then is the legal status of the American mother?
12226What use had she for property?
12226What use had she for wages?
12226What was the difference?
12226What would become of the sanctity of the home, with its lawful head shorn of his paternal dignity?
12226What would happen if the church should invite them, not to pray but to play?

13872A romance, are they?
13872And alas, what doth not the Master of a Ship, and his Mate hazard, when they are sick of this malady?
13872And if this will not do now; where shall the poor man hide his head next?
13872And indeed why should he not?
13872And it is no wonder, for who knows whether he may be past small- pocking and measeling when he is five& twenty years of age?
13872And may not then your Bride- maids ask, why should not you be merry?
13872And truly, what is there, among other cogitations, more pleasurable, then to begin with a handsom Shop- keeping?
13872And verily if the good woman had not this or some such sort of delight, where should we find the pleasures of marriage?
13872And verily whom do you see sooner or later at the Exchange then these sort of people?
13872And what husband can be so stern or barbarous that he will deny his wife at such a time what she longs for?
13872And what is to be imagined, that can be cried about in the streets by day time, but her longing before hath an appetite prepared for it?
13872And who can have better judgement than they?
13872As long as you have nothing to do, what need you ty your self to any thing?
13872Besides, women must be silent in Politick and Church- government, why should not they have somthing to say in those places where they are houswives?
13872But alas what helps it?
13872But can it be possible that this sweet pleasure should be so disht up, without some bitter sauce of discontent?

13872But what remedy now?
13872But what remedy?
13872But what remedy?
13872But, O new married couple, what price do you little think this mirth will stand you at?
13872Can she now make a shift with a little wench that earns her wages with spinning, and her diet with doing the house work?
13872Certainly, they that at full view, consider all this rightly; who can doubt but that you are the happiest man in the World?
13872Confess then unfeignedly, from the very bottom of your heart; are not these great Pleasures of marriage?
13872D''ye talk of mony?
13872Had they learnt that as long ago as 1682?
13872He answered her again, what a fidle stick, why should we spend time in thinking?
13872How glad you''l be when this confusion is once over?
13872How then?
13872If Counsellors, and other learned men, that are in love, do thus; what can the unlearned Notary''s do less?
13872Is it not possible, but that they might, if this continued long, take a journy, for pleasure, to Brokers- Hall?
13872Love, marriage, he asks scornfully-- what are they?
13872Oh, says Peg the maid, doth this come by marrying?
13872Pray observe what pleasures this introduction imparts unto us; alas, what may we then expect from the marriage it self?
13872Really, those that will take this into due consideration, who would not but curse the Gentlewoman that draws him into such a raging madness?
13872The true happiness of life?
13872Then said_ Barebeard_, may it please your Grace, am I not a freeman,& may I not marry with whom I please, or have a mind to?
13872Well then, what greater pleasure can there be then this?
13872Well who can not but see here how one may learn through honest Time and Experience, what Pleasures they are accompanied with?
13872Well who would not, for so much honour and respect, but now and then suffer the trouble of his wives quamish stomack with some charges to''t?
13872Well, what could you wish for more?
13872Well, what shall the good man do?
13872Well, who is so blind that he can not see the abundant pleasures of marriage?
13872Well, who will not then but beleeve that the married estate is full of incomprehensible and inexhaustible pleasures and sweetnesses?
13872What do you think then, if you and I went thither immediately and drunk one pint of it standing?
13872What remedy?
13872What shall he do more to please and pacifie her?
13872What shall we do then?
13872What terrible colds, and roaring seas doth he not undergo, through an intemperate desire that he hath to be with his nittebritch''d Peggy?
13872What will you do?
13872What, said she, are the others then all She''s?
13872Whereupon his Grace smiling told them, well you fellow and wench; do you think that we do here so give and take away the consent of marriage?
13872Who can abstain themselves from laughter, when they see such a marked sheep come out of the Wine Cellar?

13872Who will doubt but that she puts this advice, in operation?
13872Who would not but be invited to go into this estate?
13872Who wrote the book?
13872Why should you not be merry?
13872Yet by night generally shall the good woman be worst of all?
13872and who would not rather ingage in the imbracing of you, then any waies to affront or bespatter you?
13872are we not now like brothers?
13872could you ever have thought that there was so much work to be found in it?
13872have I married then a pittifull poor Bridegroom?
13872might not you now do( as once a Schoolmaster did) hang out the sign of a troubled pate with a Crown upon it?
13872or has the good woman lost her book, and so made a false account?
13872should she have jested upon it?
13872the Wedding is at hand, who thinks now of any thing but superfluity of mirth?
13872what life, what rest, what pleasure can he possess in this World, who hath hapned upon a scolding, and no waies friendly wife?

26948Is it possible that your Grace has ever heard of_ me_?
26948What is your husband''s name?
26948A gourmand?
26948And if fashion could make this practice feminine, why should it not some day do as much for husband- hunting?
26948And what else?
26948And what sort of a right mind is it?
26948Are we gradually tending towards an advanced stage of civilization in which woman will be formally recognized as the pursuer, and man as the pursued?
26948Besides, how are we to know how far one generation is worse than generations which have gone before it?
26948Besides, what is there about her that you or any one should love?
26948But how can there be any health with high eating, little exercise, above all, with the mind left absolutely vacant of all interests?
26948But how is this to be done?
26948But is that so?
26948But what can one say to them?
26948By what coercive machinery is Betsy Jane to be forced into the detested uniform?
26948Do we know anything about the Poor- laws or Education or Trades''-societies?
26948Does a"Clergyman''s Wife"suppose that the British housemaid is exempt from this little weakness common to her race?
26948Does he ever read Keble?
26948Does one flight of stairs transpose morality?
26948For what are coarse material mendings to the æsthetic soul yearning after the infinite, and worshipping at the feet of the prophet?

26948Have we subscribed to Mr. Mill''s election?
26948If a certain number of men and women were not ambitious, what would become of the rest of us who possess our souls in patience and moderation?
26948If the girl of the period is fast and frivolous, is the young man of the period any better?
26948Is a married woman to be stinted of her"small pleasures"because prudes affect to think the means by which they are obtained unfeminine?

26948Is it, therefore, to be inferred that the race of noble women is dying out?
26948Is she ready for an indefinite time to cook her own dinner, mend her own dresses, dust her own rooms, manage her own nursery?
26948Is there nothing, the Pretty Preacher asks us solemnly, to be said against our own?
26948It is a thing that will not bear reasoning on, being simply a form of the old"who will guard the guardian?"
26948Love you?
26948Now, is a"Clergyman''s Wife"prepared to face the consequences of such a strike?
26948Perhaps the anecdote was just a trifle doubtful; granted; but what does the wife take by her remonstrance?
26948Ritualistic?
26948She has her liberty; what will she do with it?
26948This is the sort of partner that plain girls may rationally hope to secure, and who can say that they ought not to be cheerful and happy in their lot?

26948WHAT IS WOMAN''S WORK?
26948What are its merits, in this respect, as compared with the old- fashioned theory that woman should be wooed, not woo?

26948What woman has now any notion of the broad outline of history of human thought?
26948What worse example could be given to the young?
26948What would youth be without its imaginative emotions?
26948What, then, do they want?
26948When such a woman as this is one of the matrons, and consequently one of the leaders of society, what can we expect from the girls?
26948Who will direct the directress?
26948Why does not wife- hunting, the word which this theory entitles us to expect, take its proper place in society?
26948Why not go in for an Act of Parliament, having for its object the total suppression of the instinct of vanity in the female bosom?
26948Woman is continually saying to Man,''Why are you not more loving?''
26948Yet what is there in the nature of things to make a side- saddle more modest than any other?
26948Yet who is strong- minded enough to wish that the kindliness of a pretty woman should be dictated by simple benevolence, untinged by vanity?
26948and to whose interference will the interferer submit?
26948and why should women shrink from doing for utility, and for the general comfort of the family, what they would do at any time for vanity or idleness?

26948or the pert, smart, trim little female, with no more biceps than a ladybird, and of just about equal strength with a sparrow?
57689Did I not warn you?
57689Do you not see that I was right? 57689 Well, what is to follow?"
57689A boy is leaning too far out of the window; shall we let him take the natural penalty of his folly?
57689And how are most parents prepared for the discharge of this task?
57689And should we not all agree that, in a certain sense, virtue entitles one to pleasure, and the absence of virtue ought to preclude one from pleasure?
57689But how is it possible by any external system of marks to change the antimoral spirit of an offender?
57689But is it possible to rate mental and moral differences between children in this arithmetical fashion?
57689But is it the child''s fault that we are in this irascible condition?
57689But simply because a child is most easily taken on the side of its animal instincts, are we to appeal to it on that side?
57689But what connection can there possibly be between the performance of duty and the physical pleasure enjoyed in eating sweetmeats?
57689But, it may be objected, is there not a wholesome truth contained in Saint Paul''s saying that"he who will not work, neither shall he eat"?
57689Do I then advise that we administer punishment in cold blood?
57689Does it not depend upon the notion that there is no intrinsic satisfaction in a moral act?
57689How shall we act?
57689Is not our conscience offended when we see a person enjoying the pleasures of life who will perform none of its more serious duties?
57689Is not the connection a purely arbitrary one?
57689Should not this prospective deprivation control the child''s conduct also?
57689Some children, for instance, will not join a game unless they can be leaders; is not that a sign of character?
57689and, second,"What is my own character?"
9386What are some of the essential elements of character in your ideal of true young womanhood?
9386What are some of the most common faults in young women of your acquaintance?
9386You are pure, you say; are your thoughts as white As the snow that falls with the midnight''s hush? 9386 But as the fault has been pointed out by one who has been sorely pained by it, will not the girls and young women think of it a moment? 9386 Could you see them blazoned in letters of light, For the world to read, and feel no blush? 9386 Did she look down from her lofty height upon her mother as old- fashioned, out of date? 9386 Did she sit down as a lady of elegant leisure? 9386 Did she think her trained powers were too fine to be used in any common work? 9386 Is there not some one whom you know, perhaps some lowly one, whom it always does you good to meet? 9386 Is there one of us who does not, from deepest heart pray this prayer? 9386 The second question was:What are some of the essential elements of character in your ideal of true young womanhood?"
9386What did she do with her education?
9386Will you not, then, pray this prayer:"Cleanse thou me from secret faults"?
47000Again, what employer of labour can with any security engage the services of a married woman? 47000 Does this fact open your eyes a little on the real state of things to which we heterodox spirits venture to look forward?
47000How long then,asks Shelley,"ought the sexual connection to last?
47000What say you to that fact, my reverend friends? 47000 ''Who is that domino walking with George?'' 47000 2,''do you not walk behind them, and listen to what they say?'' 47000 A man who dragged his wife out of bed( 1877), and, pulling off her nightdress, roasted her in front of the fire, was punished(?) 47000 But how is it when average men are invested with this power, without reciprocity and without responsibility? 47000 But what might be George''s feeling if he knew his wife might leave him some morning? 47000 But would men admit, that under similar circumstances, a wife should have legal power to deprive her husband of liberty? 47000 Can it be vindicated upon any principle of justice, of mercy or of common humanity?
47000Can we wonder that it has not yet done as much for women?"
47000How consorts it with your favourite theory, that man is a profligate animal, a desperately wicked creature?
47000If it be admitted that all divorce should be absolute, the question arises: What should be the ground of divorce?
47000If the Haytians are civilised enough for this more moral kind of marriage, why should Europeans be on a lower level?
47000If the parents separate, and both desire to have the children, how can such contest be decided, save by appeal to an impartial law?
47000Is it any truer here than there that, as a general thing, the courtesies of the courtship survive in the marriage?
47000Is that fair?
47000Is that honest?
47000It may be urged: if divorce is to be so easily attainable, why should there be a marriage contract at all?
47000Suppose a brutal father: his wife leaves him and takes the children with her; how is she to keep them if he claims and takes them?
47000This custom is still maintained in the Church ritual; the priest asks:"Who giveth this woman to be married to this man?"
47000Why should not we take a leaf out of the Quakers''book, and substitute for the present legal forms of marriage a simple declaration publicly made?
47000Why?
47000that human beings remain together, only because you have helped to tie them?
47000that there is no medium between priestly marriage and unseemly prostitution?
47000that, but for your prayers and blessings, the earth would be a scene of licentiousness and excess?
47000to be even decently regardful of each other''s feelings, may we not assert positively, that no such result could, possibly happen?
47000what law ought to specify the extent of the grievances which should limit its duration?
59448, which is to be the guiding principle in Emile''s case, changes its character where Sophie is concerned, and becomes:Quel effet cela fera- t- il?"
59448How d''ye do?
59448If the female tongue will be in motion, he says, after complaining of their_ copia verborum_,"why should it not be set to go right?"
59448Sérieusement, y a- t- il rien de plus bizarre que de voir comment on agit pour l''ordinaire en l''éducation des femmes? 59448 And who can be fitter for such a task than the girl''s own mother? 59448 But how is woman to be pleased? 59448 But supposing he should be right, to what cause would such a deplorable state of things be attributable? 59448 Even when married to a sensible husband, who thinks for her, what will be the fate of a woman who is left a widow with a large family? 59448 In deciding upon a course of action, the inevitable question was:What is the use?"
59448It is there that we must look for an answer to the question:"Did Rousseau look upon women as partakers of the faculty of Reason?"
59448Pray have you a fine Vauxhall and Ranelagh?
59448She asks him what he would have had her do?
59448Since they have the same improveable minds as the male part of the species, why should they not be cultivated by the same method?
59448The former he is rather inclined to excuse, for"where the lesson taught is but to please, can Pleasure be a fault?"
59448The lines: Shall Britain,_ where the soul of freedom reigns_, Forge chains for others she herself disdains?
59448The question may be put whether upon the whole this remarkable event was favourable to the cause of feminism?
59448The utilitarian question:"A quoi cela est- il bon?
59448Was liberty to be the portion of men only; and was woman to continue in her state of bondage?
59448Were all men to be partakers of Reason, guided by her only, whilst women had the use of that faculty denied them?
59448What, in comparison with the great end in view, were the inevitable horrors of the Revolution, produced by desperate and enraged factions?
59448Why did not Rousseau extend his excellent advice regarding outdoor sports and games to girls?
59448Why should reason be left to itself in one of the sexes, and be disciplined with so much care in the other?"
59448With him the ever recurring question is:"What will it profit the soul?
59448prevails in the morning, and"What''s trumps?"
57283A small girl, an only child, asked:"How could God allow his only child to be killed?
57283Are you not sorry?
57283But what does he experience?
57283But what has happened?
57283But what kinds of association?
57283But what, in the case of the child, has this character?
57283But who teaches the new souls to choose for themselves the path they must tread?
57283But, should a principle which applies to the adult be less suitable for the child?
57283Can they not see that woman''s individual freedom is limited by the rights of another, by the rights of the potential child?
57283Does it consist in the fact that we are older and more experienced?
57283Does it make no difference to you that your mother is ill, your brother dead, your father away from home?
57283How is it that the child learns very soon that fire burns?
57283How long will the majority of mothers sacrifice children to the eternal ennui and vacuity of our modern social and club life?
57283I ask what is the result of this reading- book system on the development of the child from six to sixteen years old?
57283Is it not with physical pain and shame?
57283Is it possible that the connection between originality and irregular attendance at school is merely accidental?
57283Is not this condition enough to urge us to work with all our might against the system of diffusion wherever it is unnecessary?
57283There is the person who asks rude questions; for example, what is the child thinking about?
57283What are the results of the present- day school?
57283What does having an individual conscience mean?
57283What, I ask, has been always the right way to carry out reforms?
57283When the parents are drunk and the children lose their lives?
57283When they are pressed to death because in miserable lodgings they have to share a bed with their parents?
57283When they lose their eyesight in dark cellars?
57283Where is our prerogative?
57283Why does everything remain essentially the same from generation to generation?
11632And what is to be done for widows, or poor women who have never been blessed with husbands?
11632And, in the face of all this, it is sneeringly asked,"What can reasonable women want more than they already have?"
11632Are men deprived of civil rights because some of them are puny?
11632Are these existing differences less to be deprecated than those likely to result from extending the franchise to women?
11632Are they, therefore, deprived of the franchise or other privileges?
11632But is it really right to indorse for any one, under any circumstances?
11632But suppose this were not so, to what would the objection amount?
11632But what of the spirit?
11632But what say the Scriptures upon the subject?
11632Could not this infant mission be shielded from thy shafts?"
11632Do n''t you know that a carriage with ponies is a toy for little gentlemen?
11632Does not civilized law give a woman a lien upon her husband''s property?
11632From what rights does custom debar them?
11632Had their knowledge of Latin and Greek made them either inefficient or hard?
11632How could terms, dictated on the one side and agreed to on the other by base passion, be aught but shameful and humiliating?
11632How far may she engage in business, and in what branches?
11632If a woman''s husband is to be her irresponsible lord, to whom she is to go for instruction, who is the qualified judge of what is lawful?
11632If implicit obedience is her duty, is there any justice, then, in punishing her for obeying the order of him whom she is bound to obey?
11632If she be unable to reflect a light when there is none to borrow, what then?
11632If she is not possessed of sufficient mental capacity to judge for herself in all things, how can she know when she should obey or when disobey?
11632If, in the long run, women became frivolous, brainless, and heartless, why was it?
11632In none of the countries of antiquity had women more liberty than in Egypt; and yet what was her real condition there?
11632In what respect did she exhibit inferiority to those men associated with her in the trying year( 1546) in which she earned her crown of martyrdom?
11632In what way had women become unfitted for their sphere by a liberal education?
11632Is Christ therefore not equal with God?
11632Is it not equally strange that the Lord should have answered him by her mouth?
11632Is the careful wife and mother, then, to be cut off from the rights of citizenship because she is a wife and mother?
11632Is there any reason for such an aggregation?
11632Is there superiority and inferiority between the Father and the Son?
11632Is there, then, no distinction made between the sexes in the text?
11632Let it be retarded, then; for why should the capitalist have two chances to the trader''s one?
11632Mrs. Boardman''s biographer says:"What could be more appalling to the stoutest heart than the situation of Mrs. Boardman and her helpless family?
11632Must unmarried women forever continue in ignorance of the glorious Gospel of Christ, because they have no husbands to teach them?
11632She became his first missionary to the people of her city, to whom she told the story of his wonderful wisdom, and said,"Is not this the Christ?"
11632The greatest interest is at present excited by the question,"Should women have the ballot?"
11632The law professes to punish seduction and rape; but when either or both are proved, what are the sentences?
11632The sufferings of women and children from the effects of the liquor- traffic, is perfectly frightful; and what help is there for it?
11632They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away?
11632Upon what tenure is she allowed to hold it?
11632Was it possible that one so gifted, so beautiful and pure, could arouse malicious envy, or make an enemy by the exercise of talents God had given her?
11632What of it?
11632What other triumph could compare with this?
11632What rights, it may be asked, ought women to have accorded to them which they do not now enjoy according to law?
11632What was Scripture usage?
11632What was the employment of ladies who had graduated in universities in this crisis of their country?
11632When the wife of a Hindoo dies, does he sacrifice himself upon a funeral pile, in order to honor her in another state of existence?
11632Where is either the justice or the moral honesty of such a course of procedure?
11632Where is justice in this case?
11632Where is the clergyman of whom more can be said?
11632Where, then, is the inferiority?
11632Which is likely to do the most for the benefit of mankind?
11632Which of our living authors possesses a more terse or vigorous style than Gail Hamilton?
11632Which sex usurped authority in that case?
11632Which was the weaker mentally, Mark Antony or Cleopatra?
11632Who created all that her eyes beheld?
11632Who shall stay its ravages, or curtail its power?
11632Who, in our times, stands higher on the list of artists than Rosa Bonheur or Miss Hosmer?
11632Why did n''t you play with them?
11632Why should it?
11632Why was she not severely rebuked for her presumption, and put in her place, and taught to keep silence, as becometh a woman?
11632Why, then, should the frivolity of some women be urged against the whole sex?
11632Why, then, should the one enjoy the privilege of the ballot- box or the polls, and it be denied to the other?
11632Why, we wonder?
11632Would not men, in similar circumstances, be just as bitter?
11632_ Query_: Which was the greater crime, killing a woman or stealing a watch?
11632and does not this counterbalance his lien upon hers?
11632or rather should not his having done so, forever silence such questioning?
11632what is her proper work in the Church, and to what extent may she perform public religious services?
11632what should women know about business?
6579And what next?
6579And why should I not boldly say the same thing-- exactly the same thing-- about a woman?
6579But how are young people to get the right knowledge?
6579But why?
6579Firstly, some will want to say,"All that is very well for those who are religious, but how about the people who are not religious?"
6579Have you noticed the lines on the face of that greatest of men-- Abraham Lincoln?
6579Is it likely that men and women who were made for God should ever find any lasting satisfaction or any way to victory in life apart from Him?
6579Is it not inevitable that husbands so treated should begin to wonder whether their wives really love them?
6579Is it to be wondered at that in that section of society it was a common saying that"only fools get married"?
6579Its victims worry about it-- But need they?
6579May I say a plain word or two about the shyness and self- consciousness in society which so torment young girls?
6579The really difficult question is,"How is it to be achieved?"
6579Then is it not time that somebody boldly said that husbands ought to do some of the housework?
6579Then, secondly, why are wild oats evil things to sow?
6579To begin with,"Why is self- abuse wrong?"
6579To say with utter sincerity and absence of self- will,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
6579What has been the secret of their victory?
6579What is the way out of this difficult bit of life?
6579What then is so serious about licentiousness?
6579When will all who really love take up the challenge of this disordered modern world?
6579Why must they be condemned?
6579Why should the union of true lovers be held to be impure before marriage and pure after it?
6579Why should we not endorse the shrug of the shoulders with which society treats them?
6579Why should we not take our share of the task?
6579Why then can not love sanctify passionate relationships outside marriage?
6579Why then should they all be piled upon the weary back of the woman?
6579_ Firstly_, what are the facts about its consequences?
49479Any of you fellows want to fight?
49479Anything happening?
49479Are they as good as your mother used to make?
49479Are you digging a garden?
49479Are you going to Atlantic City?
49479Ca n''t you get through?
49479Have you seen him yet-- the Man Silhouette?
49479How,I said,"can you have the heart to dump$ 52.80 into my cellar without ceremony?
49479I wonder what is the trouble?
49479My dear,I said,"if you had quarreled and if you were making up on a moonlight night, would you bother about wasting kilowatts of electricity?"
49479That Man Silhouette,I said at breakfast;"did you see him last night after the-- er-- incident on the blinds?"
49479Trouble?
49479Well-- er-- what''s this got to do with moonlight?
49479What have you got?
49479What''s that?
49479What''s the matter with the soil?
49479Why do n''t you take it easy?
49479Why will you raise pigeons?
49479Would you shoot a burglar?
49479Am I right?"
49479Atlantic City, boardwalk, red hot sun, skinny bathers, flies in the dining- room, at$ 7 a day?
49479But what gets me is, how on earth did Murphy ever maneuver the big chair with the green upholstery into the house at all?
49479Ca n''t we let you have the piano at the end of your three months, to move away to your future home, as an expression of good will?"
49479Ca n''t we remove the roof and build a little nursery for the baby, and rig you up a rainy- weather playroom in the basement?
49479Do I look easy?
49479For instance, shall I tell you of the time I astonished Campbell?
49479Has n''t a fellow a right to whistle and sing when he comes home from foraging and finds the lady bird dancing around the new nest?
49479How was this one?
49479I looked up and around, tried all the valves, hammered on the wall, and then yelled to my wife:"What''s the matter with the water?"
49479I said;"and where did you learn that?"
49479Is n''t it just too dear for anything for us to have a whole week of fun fixing up around the house?
49479Oh, well, what''s the use?
49479Quien Sabe?
49479So you''ve been keeping cases, eh?"
49479Ten minutes later my wife said:"I wonder if the belt has slipped off down at the power house?"
49479When you get that done you can put up some shelves for me in the fruit pantry, and why do n''t you arrange your books to- day?
49479Why a preface-- a foreword?
49479Why any comment, save the title and the price mark?
49479Why should the transportation of two letters change a notebook into a milk foundry?
49479and get a seven- cent flat rate on a six months''contract?"
10335Are our criminals native or foreign born?
10335Can you rub out the ugly, wrong creases?
10335Has n''t it got any little- boy end?
10335Have they ever learned a trade?
10335Is it of the American child, madame?
10335The rights of the child, madame?
10335Again, what possible harm can there be in sometimes giving reasons for commands, when they are such as the child would appreciate?
10335Am I not tempted to withhold my help from my weak brother across the way, lest my assistance place him on an equality with me?
10335And does it not seem hard to you, That when the sky is clear and blue, And I should like so much to play, I have to go to bed by day?"
10335And now, after the story is well selected, how long shall it be?
10335And sun thee in the light of happy faces?
10335Bitter reproaches were heaped upon the mother, for were there not enough women already on the earth?
10335But Lor'', mum, if we do n''t, they_ take_''em, so what''s the odds?"
10335But what is this merry group doing in the farther corner?
10335But what''s this?
10335CONTENTS THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD CHILDREN''S PLAYS CHILDREN''S PLAYTHINGS WHAT SHALL CHILDREN READ?
10335Can they intend to take it up on the flat roof, where we have lately suspected a nest?
10335Can we imagine that as written about one of these modern monstrosities with eyeglasses and corsets and vinaigrettes?
10335Could anything be more deliciously real than these verses?
10335Did you ever think how many people there are who"having eyes, see not"?
10335Do they make none, under the impression, correct in a low state of culture, that dolls for children become idols for men?
10335HOW SHALL WE GOVERN OUR CHILDREN?
10335Have you ever found pain an assistance to the memory?
10335How can I have any Christian fellowship with a man when I am envying him his successes and grudging him his honors?
10335How can we make them distinctly serviceable, filling the difficult and well- nigh impossible_ rôle_ of"useful as well as ornamental"?
10335How is he to know which of these offenses is the greatest, if all have received the same punishment?
10335How should parents hope to escape the universal interrogation point leveled at everything else?
10335If dirt is misplaced matter, then what do you call a child who sits eternally on the curbstones and in the gutters of our tenement- house districts?
10335If the child love not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
10335In such an hour I suddenly said,"Josephus, will you be the father this time?"
10335Is it a touch of self- pity that the radiant visions of our childhood days have been dispelled, and the years have brought the"inevitable yoke"?
10335Is it not sometimes given in anger, also, when the culprit clearly sees it to be disproportionate to the crime?
10335Is it possible that fathers, too, are in any danger of decline?
10335Is it strange that we find the moral sense blunted, the conscience unenlightened?
10335Is it the perfect self- forgetfulness of the children?
10335Is it"that touch of nature which makes the whole world kin"?
10335Is the class room somewhat bare and colorless?
10335Is there not some little invalid who would greatly prize a book of dainty pictures, embroidered, drawn, and painted by her child- friends?
10335Last of all, brought out only on state occasions, was a most seductive edition of that nursery Gaboriau,"Who Killed Cock Robin?"
10335May we not question whether we are not frequently too exacting with children,--too much given to fault- finding?
10335OTHER PEOPLE''S CHILDREN"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10335One can never watch a circle of children going through the vulgar inanities of"Jenny O''Jones,""Say, daughter, will you get up?"
10335Or is it the touching sight of so much happiness contrasted with what we know the home life to be?
10335Some one perhaps will say here, the knowledge of cruelty and sin must come some time to the child; then why shield him from it now?
10335That sounds very well; but, as a matter of fact, has our past system produced all the results in this direction that we have hoped and prayed for?
10335The magic of"Together"has thus far reached, and who can tell what Happy Valley, what fair Land of Beulah, it may summon into existence in the future?
10335The question is frequently asked, Can not the best things of the kindergarten be introduced in the primary departments of the public school?
10335The still small voice is forever saying,"Where is thy brother Abel?"
10335The world has done so much for him, what can he do for the world?
10335This reading and writing, what is it, after all, but the signs for things and thoughts?
10335To what can we appeal, then, in children, as motives to goodness, as aids in the formation of right habits of thought and action?
10335WHAT SHALL CHILDREN READ?
10335What bearing have its theory and practice upon the conduct of life?
10335What did he want with that bud, I wonder?
10335What do you think about it?"
10335What does the kindergarten do for children under six years of age?
10335What has it accomplished when it sends the child to the primary school?
10335What has the kindergarten to do with social reform?
10335What is education good for that does not teach the mind to observe accurately and define picturesquely?
10335What is the true relation of the kindergarten to social reform?
10335What objects, then, shall our stories serve beyond the important one of pleasing the little listeners?
10335Who can see the kindergarten games, led by a teacher who has grown into their spirit, and ever forget the joy of the spectacle?
10335Why do n''t you club together and make a very large, fine one?"
10335Why should giving him a good thrashing teach him to be kind to his little sister?
10335Why should he learn the multiplication table with greater rapidity because you ferule him soundly?
10335Wrong things are not so easily rubbed out, are they?"
10335_ Nora A. Smith_ THE RELATION OF THE KINDERGARTEN TO SOCIAL REFORM HOW SHALL WE GOVERN OUR CHILDREN?
10335_ Who owns the child_?
10335how is she who has never made a stiff batter to settle the exact amount of flour necessary?
10335that we may determine the influence of home ties;"Have they been given to the use of liquor?"
10335that we may heap proof on proof, mountain high, against the monster evil of intemperance;"What has been their family history?"
10335that we may know whether we are worse or better than other people?
10335that we may prove what we already know, that idle fingers are the devil''s tools;"Have they been educated?"
10335was it for food, or bric- a- brac, or a plaything for the babies?
13615But will it always be thus? 13615 If man be lord of the Sabbath, can he be less than lord of marriage?"
13615If the brain claims her whole vitality, how can there be any proper development? 13615 What has posterity done for me that I should do anything for posterity?"

12818But will he do nothing about the matter?
12818How did you learn this?
12818Is it possible that such a being as man can, according to law... become a slave even by his own consent?
12818Is it really true that the authorities have been deceived, and did not know of this flagrant violation of the Ordinance to protect women and girls?
12818What is this strange man doing here?
12818Who among you will give ear to this? 12818 And where did Suey Ying come from? 12818 Are they not likely to exist in spite of laws against them, so long as human nature remains so frail? 12818 At this moment Mrs. Lau heard voices of men on her stairs, and said in alarm to A- Kan,The inspector is coming, looking for you, is n''t he?"
12818Besides this long argumentative answer, one question must be answered:--Is it right to do or sanction wrong that good may come?"
12818But from whence comes that danger of rudeness and insult or worse from which man is to protect woman?
12818But need we go into further painful details?
12818But to what purpose?
12818But was that the truth?
12818But what about working women?
12818But what could a Chinese woman do in the face of such a debt?
12818But what of the many young girls with whom exceptional conditions did not exist, when_ they_ were brought to the examination table?
12818But what transpired when that Commission was held?
12818But what would be the effect on any man having to administer such an Ordinance?

12818Can not?
12818Did he attend the receptions of His Excellency and the Port Admiral?
12818Do we not pretend that it is such to all who are oppressed?
12818Do you believe God did that, reader?
12818Do you wonder that these girls do not tell everybody who asks them that they are unwilling captives?
12818Forsooth, to protect her from what?
12818From what motive will you read our recital?
12818Have not murder and stealing always existed?
12818Here, again, it may be asked what are the precise relations of the acting Colonial surgeon to''our private hospitals?''
12818How can we explain such a state of affairs?
12818How could a Government that held slaves in its licensed brothels forbid Chinese residents holding slaves in their homes?
12818How to administer them the Orient already knows, for has not the door to his domicile been already forced open by the Western trader?
12818If she were sent to jail what would become of her little boy?
12818Is it not quite likely it was from him she borrowed the money?
12818Lonely and friendless, and poor, is she in no danger of a false accusation from malice or from error?
12818Might she not in reality have been acting the part of"pocket- mother"to the girl?]
12818Rattlesnakes, buffalo, lions, wildcats no more overrun the country, and why is this relation of"protector"still claimed?

12818She came and said to Tai Yau:"Who is this?"

12818Should not the entire country be one great city of refuge?
12818So the three planned this campaign:"When is Detective---- coming?"
12818The Attorney General:--"May I ask your Lordship to say on what charge?"
12818The Judge asked,''Is this your own mother?''
12818The Judge said,''Did anybody tell you to say all this?"
12818The Judge said,''Did this woman give you birth?''
12818The question naturally arises,--Are these women and girls free agents?
12818Then were they likely to strike a blow at that slavery?
12818Then why not license_ them_ in order to keep_ them_ under control?
12818Then, will you continue to read from a worthier motive?
12818To what other source indeed could they turn for a livelihood?
12818Was he allowed precedence of chaplains, or how otherwise?
12818Was he decorated on the abolition of his office, and allowed a good service pension?

12818What important event had to be discussed?
12818What is to be thought of the character of such reports for the_ Public_, and such an_ Official Report_,"not_ intended_ to be_ published_"?
12818What serious matter decided?
12818What was the outcome of this dreadful arraignment of crimes against Chinese girls?
12818What was then done?
12818What was to be done?
12818What, if the master is brutal, or the mistress jealous, becomes of the poor girl?
12818Who can tell, moreover, what hopes or aspirations have been instilled into the minds of these girls?
12818Who will hearken and hear for the time to come?"
12818Why are not these societies broken up, root and branch?
12818Why did she not turn him out of the house?
12818Why should not the pursuer be turned back at the Golden Gate, rather than at the door of an exceptional home in San Francisco?
12818Why should they shrink from it?
12818Will it not be good to see something actually done and at once about that matter?
12818Would the Mission try to save this poor girl?
12818and was he expected to dine with the Bishop?
12818or is he still in the service of''our religious and gracious Queen?''"
12818what about the daughters, sisters and wives of working men, out, it may be, on an errand of mercy at night?
29861A girl?
29861We never could afford it, and, besides, what would the women put in their time at if all that work was done for them?
29861What did I marry you for?
29861What do they want?
29861What''ll I do if there are no spotted ones?
29861Where is your mother?
29861Who gives this woman away?
29861Who will mind the baby?
29861( Query-- Why should n''t he love his mother?
29861Abraham was sure, but about this-- who knows?
29861But what can she do?
29861But what happens?
29861But when do we appoint a housecleaning day for the soul, when do we destroy all the worn- out prejudices and beliefs which belong to a day gone by?
29861But why worry?
29861CHAPTER III WHAT DO WOMEN THINK OF WAR?
29861CHAPTER IV SHOULD WOMEN THINK?
29861Coal- oil lamps were good enough on the farm-- why should a town have electric light?
29861Did you ever visit an old folks''home and notice the different spirit shown by the men and women there?
29861Do the gentle mothers whose hands rule the world declare in favor of these things?"
29861Do we really confer a favor on the innocent little souls we bring into the world, or do we owe them an apology?
29861Do women wish for these things?
29861Do you think any woman would stand for that?
29861England may be suffering from loss of men, money and efficiency, but why worry?
29861Granting that population is very desirable, would it not be well to save what we have?
29861Have you ever seen lizards walk into a campfire?
29861How would it be to try to save them?
29861How would you like to be left with"your keep"even with one of your own children?
29861I said to myself:"Where have I seen that face before?"
29861If children die-- what of it?
29861Innocence has been esteemed a young girl''s greatest charm, but what good has her innocence done her?
29861Is it any wonder that women capitalize their good looks, even at the expense of their intelligence?
29861Is it because it makes their own little contribution of respectability seem larger by comparison?
29861Is life really such a boon that any should crave it?
29861It did not really matter who paid for the house; the husband was the owner, for was he not the head of the house?
29861It is easy to blame women for dressing foolishly, extravagantly, but to what end do they do it?
29861It is so much quicker and easier than trying to reform him, and what is one man less after all?
29861Now, could it?
29861Or a little puppy who was a pessimist?
29861Perhaps the old earth will be a bit kinder than it has ever been to women, who knows?
29861SHOULD WOMEN THINK?
29861So we ask, in all seriousness, and in no spirit of flippancy:"Should women think?"
29861Some system, is n''t it?
29861Superstitious?
29861The question has not been:"What can I do for my country?"
29861The state might well reply to the church by saying:"If it is such a desirable thing why do you not try it yourself?"
29861The test of a member of Parliament as voiced by his constituents has been:"What has he got for us?"
29861They are exposed to cold, to hunger, to insult-- poor souls-- is there any pity felt for them?
29861They gain in power perhaps, but do they not lose in happiness by thinking?
29861They would have fared badly of course, even worse than the women in England, but they are faring badly now, and to what purpose?
29861This woman had never been at a suffrage meeting-- so where did she get the germ of discontent?
29861Trivial little incident, is it not?
29861WHAT DO WOMEN THINK OF WAR?
29861We will not force the vote upon them, but why should they force their votelessness upon us?
29861What about the crime of holding up the market, so that the price of bread goes up, causing poor men''s children to go hungry?
29861What about the crime of working little children and cheating them out of an education and a happy childhood?
29861What are you paid for?"
29861What could she need of money?
29861What does it matter if there is a family north of the track living on soda biscuits and turnips?
29861What is there in this for me?"
29861What share have they in man''s chivalry?
29861What struck you?"
29861What will we have for them?
29861What, then, is the matter with the theory?
29861Where are all these stalwart sons of the church who love their mothers so ostentatiously and reverence womanhood so deeply?
29861Who can estimate the worth of a mother to her family and the community?
29861Who ever saw a kitten with a grouch?
29861Who was the invader?
29861Who would be a stiff?
29861Why do men go so easily to war-- for we may as well admit that they do go easily?
29861Why do n''t they mind their own business and attend to their own children?"
29861Why is the careless, easy- going, irresponsible way of the young girl so attractive to men?
29861Why not let us hear more of the boy who went right, rather than of the one who went wrong?
29861Why should a town spend money on cement sidewalks when they already have good dirt roads?
29861Why should marriage disqualify a woman?
29861Why should not as much space be given to the man who saves a life, as is given to the man who takes a life?
29861Why should not women have the same privilege as men to choose their mate?
29861Why should people enjoy the contemplation of evil rather than good?
29861Why should she not have the privilege of choosing?
29861Why worry?
29861Why, then, does war continue?
29861Will the time ever come when the word"feminine"will have in it no trace of trickery?
29861Would Mary vote against liquor if she had the chance?
29861Would it not be well to save them?
29861Would n''t it be perfectly safe to let her have her fling?
29861Would this be tolerated if it were really so that we were a Christian nation?
29861and, tell me, would you call that a fair deal?
29861but:"What can I get?
29861cried one of our public men, in great agony of spirit,"when the mother goes to vote?"
908Ai nt nobody to be whopped for this here?
908What did you do?
908After all, what man is capable of the insane self- conceit of believing that an eternity of himself would be tolerable even to himself?
908And how can this rabble of the casual products of luck, cunning, and folly, be expected to know how to govern?
908And what is a tyrant?
908But what is to guide the child before its first confirmation?
908But when progress took place, what did it mean?
908Children''s Rights and Duties Should Children Earn their Living?
908Curious, is it not, that he has not the same confidence in other sorts of man?
908First my own schoolmasters, or their ghosts, asking whether I was cruelly beaten at school?
908How is the child to be secured its due share of both bodies of doctrine?
908Not mere orders, because orders must have a sanction of some sort or why should the child obey them?
908Not too much Wind on the Heath, Brother What, then, is to be done?
908Should Children Earn their Living?
908The Child is Father to the Man Is he?
908Then in the name of common sense why do we always treat children on the assumption that the man is father to the child?
908What is a Child?
908What is to be Done?
908Why do governments do nothing in spite of reports of Royal Commissions that establish the most frightful urgency?
908Why do our philanthropic millionaires do nothing, though they are ready to throw bucketfuls of gold into the streets?
908Will anyone pretend that England has not the best of this striking difference?
908You may say of them, paraphrasing Mr. Kipling,"What do they know of Plato that only Plato know?"
47288What are the women making all this row about?
47288Again we ask, Which wives and which children-- the British or the Indian?
47288Again, a single act of fornication does not prove prostitution, and how many acts shall constitute proof?
47288And even if the charge were true would he not think the punishment too severe?
47288And supposing the girl has not actually done wrong, but has conducted herself imprudently, and brought just suspicion on herself?
47288And they reply hopelessly,"But what can we do?
47288And what can a poor Army slave- woman do when thus turned out?
47288And will women physicians be induced to attempt the task of keeping these mere children in health under such conditions?
47288At Peshawar, the women said, when speaking of the great hardship of being turned out of the Cantonment,"Where can we go to?
47288But can this vice ever be actually exterminated?
47288But how can regulation under any circumstances be a remedy?
47288But, we may be asked, Shall women show no concern for the"innocent wives and children"of diseased men?
47288Could the reader, without committing sin, go to a physician to be examined in order to discover whether he or she is"fit"to practise fornication?
47288He started back in horror, thinking to himself,"And if he could get his clutches on that woman by such a law, why not on any woman?"
47288How"gigantic"in reality is this infliction?
47288It is a square issue; shall it be immorality and medicine, or shall it be morality?
47288Meantime, how many Indian women will have succumbed to a shameful life and gone down to a dishonoured grave?
47288Policemen are not supposed to be infallibly virtuous; and supposing they could be bribed or blackmailed?
47288Several times we asked the women,"What do you wish us to do for you?"
47288Shall we then license stealing?
47288She replied,"Why should I tell him?
47288That looked simple enough, and why not?
47288The question arises, How secure the proof?
47288Then a sudden thought came into the woman''s face, and she asked:"Are you like that lady of Calcutta, going to try to do something to help us?"
47288Then follows a simple Gospel message to which all give respectful heed, and at its close we ask,"Why are you in such a place as this?"
47288Very true; yet are not these often utterly profligate?
47288We asked,"Is the Lock Hospital, then, entirely disused?"
47288We asked,"Is there, then, no form of regulation now?"
47288We said,"There is a European physician in charge, then, is there?"
47288What about the"gigantic[ immoral] infliction"of the atheistic assumption that chastity is a sanitary failure, and fornication a necessity?
47288What does this mean in exact figures?
47288What is the use of women clamouring for such a law as long as_ men enact and enforce all our laws_?
47288What were the circumstances that brought women to such a lot as this?
47288What will you do?
47288What, then, can be said as an excuse for such exposure simply to find out whether there be disease?
47288Whence this far- reaching influence, then, which has blinded the eyes of so many?
47288Will the colonel of a regiment leave his soldiers to mutiny while he goes to reside in a Lock Hospital for a term of weeks?
47288Would not the loss of these be bought too dearly by the mere exemption from physical disease, even if this could be made possible?"
47288_ Q._--At any rate, on the 15th of June a requisition was made for nineteen tickets?
47288_ Q._--Did I understand you to say that you found twenty tickets were issued to the women of the Artillery?
47288_ Q._--Does it say on counterfoils of tickets in respect of the nineteen new requisitions on 15th June, 1892?
47288_ Q._--Therefore that is evidence that the issue of tickets at any rate endured longer than May?
47288_ Q._--Up to what date?
47288_ Q._--What you find is that twenty tickets were issued?
47288_ Q._--You produce a ticket here which you obtained from one of the women; what was the date of that ticket; was not the date of the year 1892?

39751= Suggested Remedies.--=But how go about it?
39751But is it not as important to look to fitness in man as in Poland China hogs or Holstein cows?
39751But what assurance have we that we can prevent the production of defectives by segregation?
39751But what has become of the parent?
39751But what normal individual would knowingly marry into such a stock?
39751But what_ will_ it be in the future if we permit this unrestricted nine- tenths to go on and multiply their kind?
39751But_ why_ this increase of defectives?
39751By what means shall we sift the congenital defectives from the victims of suppressed opportunities?
39751CHAPTER V ARE MODIFICATIONS ACQUIRED DIRECTLY BY THE BODY INHERITED?
39751Can external influences directly affect the germ- cells?
39751Can external influences, operating through the intermediation of the parental body, affect the germ- cells?
39751Can we continue to drink the sluggish blood of the pauper and the imbecile into our veins and hope to escape unscathed?
39751Do you think John Lowell would have taken that vow could he have foreseen the future?"
39751Does it not behoove us then to seek with anxious eyes some knowledge of these invading hordes with whom we are to mingle our life- blood?
39751For further discussion of this field the reader is referred to an excellent chapter on"Are Acquired Habits Inherited?"
39751Husband alone||||| in first year, exposed to lead|?
39751If so, who is praiseworthy, who blameworthy?
39751Is it not time for us to waken from our lethargy and stem this tide of national deterioration?
39751Is there then no escape from this dilemma?
39751Just what is the measure of normality?
39751Of the twenty- seven or more recognized forms of insanity who knows with any considerable degree of certainty which are heritable, which not?
39751Shall we treat all manic- depressives alike?
39751Shall we treat them as, for instance, we would those suffering from dementia precox?
39751This is the age of preventive medicine, why not also of preventive crime and delinquency?
39751To what extent is human conduct a product of parentage?
39751V ARE MODIFICATIONS ACQUIRED DIRECTLY BY THE BODY INHERITED?
39751What shall the home of the future be with regard to its most important assets, the children?
39751What shall we do with them?
39751What shall we do?
39751Where in school or home to- day do we find provision for such training?
39751Who will take the responsibility of answering positively?
39751Why face complacently in our own families what we would not tolerate in our piggery?
39751Why go on alleviating various kinds of misery that might equally well be prevented?
39751Why is the accurate adjustment which we have noted for their division necessary?
39751Why not America?
39751Why not prevent our social maladies instead of waiting to cure them?
39751With the higher fertility of certain of these classes and with only a small percentage under custodial care where will it all end?
39751who are supposed to be eugenically normal?
31861And how are they held in place?
31861And what does that mean, mother?
31861And what is that responsibility? 31861 And what is the furniture in the different stories?"
31861But do you not think that you as a father should have some part in this blessed work of guiding our daughter? 31861 But maybe I''ll never have any children, mamma; what then?"
31861But you do n''t mean that a girl of fourteen could become a mother?
31861But, mamma, do you mean that this is all because Mr. Orland drinks?
31861But, mother, if it is not right to be familiar, why does God make us with those desires?
31861Can one tell when it passes?
31861Do n''t you think it seems worse for girls to swear or drink or gamble than for boys?
31861Do n''t you think it silly for girls to be so''spooney''?
31861Do n''t you think it strange that we never want little rooms with furniture huddled close together, except in our bodily dwellings? 31861 Do they really consider it a true engagement, to end ultimately in marriage, or is it merely an excuse for freedom of association?"
31861Do you know, dear, that women and girls always make the moral standards which maintain in the society of which they form a part?
31861Do you mean, mamma, that I have a quick temper because you had one?
31861Do you remember once seeing in a hen that Ellen was preparing for dinner a great number of eggs of all sizes? 31861 Do you think women have as much ability as men?
31861Does that seem such a strange idea to you? 31861 Has nothing been written to the men, how they must help and protect women?"
31861Have you any idea what a wonderful feat has been accomplished when a baby has learned to walk? 31861 How can I help it, if I got my temper from you and just passed it on to them?
31861How long do they stay engaged?
31861I like the Saxon word better than the Latin one, do n''t you?
31861I suppose girls do n''t understand it, do they? 31861 Is father such a poor substitute, then?"
31861Is n''t it awful, mamma? 31861 Is n''t it just as much of a disgrace to him as to her?"
31861Is n''t it painful, mother?
31861Is n''t it sad that ignorance does not save us from punishment?
31861It is quite true that a woman did not plan it, but did you know that it was completed under a woman''s supervision?
31861It''s putting a great responsibility on women, is n''t it?
31861Mamma, do n''t you think the fathers have something to do as well as the mothers, in trying to give a better inheritance to the children?
31861My, no, that would have been absurd; but I do n''t see how that applies to Clara?
31861No, was it? 31861 O, father, do you think girls have as much power as that?
31861O, is n''t it dreadful that the Chinese bind up the feet of the little girls as they do?
31861O, mamma, do you really mean that?
31861O, mamma, smoking is n''t inherited, is it?
31861O, mother, women do n''t have eggs, do they? 31861 Taking the parents into an adjoining room, Doctor Garnier said to the father,''Are you a drinker?''
31861Then, father, you''d say we ought never to correspond with boys?
31861To the health, mother? 31861 What does that big word mean, mother?"
31861What does that word mean, mother? 31861 What wondrous things can men do that women ca n''t do?"
31861Why, mother, do n''t we just grow into women?
31861Why, mother, it sounds like a fairy story, a tale of a wonderful magic palace, does n''t it? 31861 Will my children have a temper because I have one?"
31861Would n''t that be a good way to decide your own conduct-- to do only those things which you''d be perfectly willing your daughter should do?
31861Yes, by controlling yourself you will have given them greater power of self- control; that is worth working for, is n''t it? 31861 Yesterday I heard some of the girls talking and one said,''Did you know that Edith Chenowyth had a baby last night?
31861You did n''t ask Sadie what she meant?
31861You mean that if I overcome my temper, my children will not be so likely to have tempers?
31861''Does your friend walk there, too?
31861And Clara Downs has n''t got these marvelous rooms?"
31861And call the girls by name, too?"
31861And sure enough, in a moment he was walking at her side, saying,''What a lovely day?
31861Are n''t men really smarter than women?"
31861At what hour do you walk?''
31861But it ca n''t be that way with our bodies, for we do n''t have any new organs added or finished off to make us women?"
31861But what is a baby?
31861But, mother, ought a girl let a young man spend money on her?"
31861By the way, you have always talked freely to her about life''s mysteries; have you explained her approaching womanhood to her?"
31861Did it just grow bigger?"
31861Did n''t we study about them in our school physiology?"
31861Did you ever wonder where this room is?"
31861Do you know why we did not finish off these rooms in our house sooner?"
31861Do you remember how many feet of intestines there are in the body?"
31861Do you remember what we were reading in Sesame and Lilies the other day about woman''s queenly power?
31861Do you think that?
31861Do you walk here every day?''
31861Does n''t the bladder empty itself through that passage?"
31861Helen was silent a moment and then asked,"Do n''t you think the law of heredity a very cruel law?
31861How can one girl learn all those hard things?"
31861How did that happen?
31861How many stories is it?"
31861How old is she?"
31861I do n''t see now how the baby grows?"
31861I knew of a girl whose sister had been engaged several times and who said to her,''Why, Lida, you''ve never been engaged yet, have you?''
31861I said,''Who is that?''
31861Is it not even a greater thing to be a woman than to be a man?"
31861Is n''t it?"
31861Is n''t she pretty?"
31861Is n''t that a wonderful power that is in woman''s hands?
31861Is n''t that the way?"
31861New organs added, mother?
31861On what day did Helen cease to be a baby and become a child?
31861On what day will she cease to be a child and become a woman?"
31861Quick, light steps answered his call and an urgent young voice demanded,"Where''s mother?"
31861She said,''I do n''t know, but is n''t he handsome?
31861Suppose the young people knew and thought of these things; do n''t you think they would judge more wisely of what they ought to do?"
31861That speaks pretty loudly in favor of doing without corsets, does n''t it?"
31861The fine needle might complain that it could not do hard work, but do you think the complaint would be justifiable?"
31861They call themselves husband and wife even now,--isn''t that silly?"
31861What are these weighty problems?"
31861What are they and where are they; when will they be finished off?
31861What can you mean?"
31861What did she mean?
31861What did you learn about your bodily house?
31861What have we young people to do with future generations?"
31861Where are the new rooms and what is their purpose?
31861Which is the greater work?"
31861Why did you say you did n''t walk by the lake?
31861Would you like to read it to me?"
31861Yesterday as I was walking home from school with Belle Dane-- you know her, do n''t you?
31861You are not anxious to exchange dishwashing for such work, are you?"
31861You have heard of the statue of the Venus de Medici, renowned as being the most beautiful representation of a woman''s figure?"
31861You have no hesitancy about speaking to her?"
9887And when he leaves the hospital, often with the largest and noblest conception of the physician''s place in life, what do we do with him?

20362And arithmetic?
20362And then, what''s the good of it for a girl?
20362At least, what else is there for a woman to do who is thoroughly feminine but not at all domestic?
20362But would anybody come to hear me read?
20362If thirteen yards of ribbon cost$ 3.25, how much will one yard cost?
20362Twenty- five what?
20362Why are you building an addition to your house?
20362Would n''t that be rather high for ribbon?
20362A boy must know arithmetic of course, or how can he fulfill his destiny and make money?
20362After all, however, who is perfectly balanced?
20362Am I wandering from the topic of health?
20362And how shall she be fitted for it?
20362And if so, is it well that they should be?
20362And now again, What are the essentials of health?
20362And now how shall a girl choose her occupation?
20362And now, second,_ how_ shall girls be thoroughly well?
20362And then, why should a woman cease to love a man simply because she is disappointed to find that he does not love her?
20362And what harm can a slight do her?
20362And why not?
20362And why should we try always to see the exact reality as if that were nearer the truth than the same reality transfigured by ideal light?
20362Are women really excessively emotional?
20362But as character may be formed in many ways why not form it by teaching practical things?
20362But can beauty be cultivated?
20362But she-- how then could she be his wife?
20362But suppose they also tremble at ugliness, and shrink from pain?
20362But what of the girls who choose this aim and who never have a home?
20362But what shall our minor aim be, or shall we be content to drift without any at all?
20362But what shall we give her for Christmas?
20362But why do I call this a practical education?
20362Can parents do anything?
20362Culture, demands balance of mind; but is not that as good when it comes from thought as from study?
20362Do we not mean that a woman is unreasonable?
20362Do we wish even our enemy to be wronged to save our friend?
20362Do you know that the moment you begin to breathe it you begin to grow warm from the increased action of the blood?
20362Do you know that you are never resting when you are thinking that you are tired?
20362First, why is health so important?
20362How are they to make themselves feel without becoming hypocrites?
20362How can she use these homely accomplishments in earning a living?
20362How can we be broad without being superficial?
20362How can you avoid it?
20362How can you be clean when you do dirty work?
20362How could anybody see anything worth seeing with an excursion party?
20362How could they without a servant?
20362How many girls ever use chemistry, or physics, or geology, or zoölogy in any practical way?
20362How shall we choose our aim?
20362How shall we get fresh air?
20362How shall we keep the true balance?
20362How, for instance, is a woman prostrated by disease to make anything of the little life within her four walls?
20362I remember when I was a girl, I once said to a high- bred woman,"Do you think, after all, that Mrs. A. is much of a lady?"
20362If a girl has been badly trained, how can she help thinking she may do better than her mother does?
20362If all people who chanced to meet felt at liberty to be as friendly as they felt like being, without any formal preliminaries, who would be injured?
20362If everybody who finds afternoon teas a burden stayed away from them, would any harm be done?
20362If everybody who objects to making calls refused to make them, would it not soon simplify life even for those who do like to make them?
20362If it is not like this, may it not be possible for you to help to make it so?
20362If not, is not this well worth doing?
20362If society were always like this, would you wish to give it up?
20362In spite of the innumerable lives of the first President, who shall say anything new of his career and paint it in fresh colors?
20362Is it not possible that society has some intrinsic worth, or that at all events it might have worth, if earnest people did their part?
20362Is there any better work laid ready to your hand?
20362Is there any guide in deciding how far they are bound to follow conventions?
20362It is easy to say,"Do not talk about your headaches, or your delicate constitution;"but how are you to help thinking about these things?
20362Now what are_ fine_ feelings?
20362Now, how is the line to be drawn among the musical?
20362Or is one better than the other?

20362She wrinkled her forehead, curled her lip, looked up and laughed,"I have n''t the faintest idea, do n''t you know?"
20362Should one of these girls try to do the work of the other?
20362That seems like an amiable failing; but is it?
20362Then what is wanting in Miss Strong?
20362Unless the answer to this question is clear, how can any one be ready to sacrifice health to any higher duty?

20362Where does Miss Amidon get the strength to do so many good things?
20362Which shall we choose, the strong feelings or the self- control?
20362Who are to earn their living by music and who are to be amateurs?
20362Who but the rich can have leisure for such important experiments?
20362Who can learn enough history in school to be equipped even to teach history?
20362Who is to decide whether it is prudent for a girl to spend all she has on a musical education with the hope of making herself independent in the end?
20362Why is a barbed wire fence put up in America?
20362Why should she compete with other musicians on any unnatural basis?
20362Why should the new- comers care?
20362Why should they compete with those who needed the money?
20362Would it not be better to believe that the person who has hurt her is innocent, and submit to the slight even if it was intended?
20362Would it not mean the destruction of the ideal if they were?
20362Yet is not that just what our education must do if it is to be practical?
20362what is expense to fresh air?"
19848Why this astonishing difference? 19848 And if parental responsibility is afetish"when it refers to a father, why is it not the same when it refers to a mother?
19848And whose voices never fail among the disputants?
19848And, granted its value as a social structure, is it, even then, to be worth while?
19848Answering the question,"Whither are we tending?"
19848Are the cares and duties of the mother, her travail and her love, commodities to be exchanged for bread?
19848Are we willing to consider motherhood as a business, a form of commercial exchange?
19848Are we willing to hold this ground, even in theory?
19848Are you aware that if my milk is analyzed it will be found to contain less food for the baby with more bulk than if I were to do without the alcohol?
19848At what stage and under what influences did the child that is born a girl become female?
19848But are we to live for it?
19848But how many men would be willing to marry on the conditions with which marriage is offered to a woman?
19848But how, then, is the division of labour necessary for society to be effected, the reader may ask?
19848But if he is going to say bitter things to you, will the facility of his diction make them less bitter?
19848But is such a change-- or any change at all of that kind-- to be desired?
19848But now what do we owe to her in the matter of providing the right kind of intellectual, moral, spiritual, psychical environment?
19848But now, what as to the comparative strength of this instinct in the two sexes?
19848But the spiritual attitude revealed in the question,"Do they deserve it?"
19848But what is the value of these precautions if we relax our care as to what enters their minds?
19848But what of the individual in a country where there are thirteen hundred thousand adult women in excess of men, which is the case of Great Britain?
19848Can we not find a term which shall express this truth, shall be inoffensive and so doubly suitable for the purposes of our cause?
19848Can we, as human beings, regard a human society as admirable because it is successful, stable, numerous?
19848Causes must be judged by their merits, not by their worst advocates, or where are the chances of religion or patriotism or decency?
19848Do not their mothers blush for such; to have travailed so much, and to have achieved so little?
19848For what is this sexual instinct?
19848For what, if it comes to that, does a man choose?
19848Have not women even a greater regard for appearances than men?
19848How can we fail to do so?
19848How could any nice- minded teacher care to put such ideas into a girl''s head?
19848How then should we proceed?
19848In providing the environment-- from its mother''s milk to moral maxims-- for our child, what do we seek?
19848Is it likely to be as good for us as for the bee- hive?
19848Is it that a girl has none of the promptings to vociferous play by which boys are impelled?
19848Is it that each may be trusted by self- instruction to fit himself, or herself, for the office of parent?
19848Is it that the constitution of a girl differs so entirely from that of a boy as not to need these active exercises?
19848Is it that the discharge of it is but a remote contingency?
19848Is it that the discharge of it is easy?
19848Is it these women, already predestined for something other than distinctive womanhood, that offer themselves for"higher education"?
19848Is there no moral here?"
19848It avoids the tabooed adjective, and if it fails to allude at all to the fact of sex, who needs reminding thereof?
19848It is a common thing to laugh at these aberrations-- thoughtlessly, may we not say?
19848It may be replied,"Is not the labourer worthy of his hire?"
19848Let either sex try to run the earth alone till Halley''s comet returns, and what would be left for it to see?
19848None will dare dispute these assertions, yet what do we see at the present time?
19848Now, what are we to say of the_ object_ of education?
19848Of course, such a question as this may be answered in some such terms as those of the further question, What has posterity done for us?
19848On what grounds is the woman question fought, and by what kind of disputants?
19848So much having been said, what can one suggest in the direction of remedy?
19848That he knows the ways of the world may impress you, but does he know them to admire them?
19848The forces that have erected us from the worm, are they necessarily exhausted or exhaustible?
19848The question is not how much bulk is there, but what does the bulk consist of?
19848The question remains, how is this to be done, and whence is the money to be obtained?
19848The vital thing for you is, what are the uses to which he puts his knowledge and capacities?
19848This will be indignantly repudiated by a stern school of thought, but what if it applies, everywhere, always and above all, to children?
19848To ask, What has posterity done for us?
19848To what extent can we control the determination of sex?
19848What does reward mean?
19848What fact of his nature do they stand for?
19848What has Mrs. Grundy to say to this?
19848What is the most palpable fact of the child''s play?
19848What is the virtue in clever things if he says them at your expense?
19848What is the virtue in cleverness coupled with, for instance, a malicious tongue?
19848What one is, why may not millions be?
19848What promise, then, have we that things as they will be are worth working for?
19848What would be its effect on productivity?
19848What, in a word, are we to say of such cases as these?
19848What, then, is it in our power to do; and how are we to do it?
19848What, then, is the record?
19848Whatever the answer to the crudely- stated question,"Should Wives have Wages?"
19848Where is the woman, recognizable as such, who will question that the brother of Dorothy Wordsworth was right?
19848Who rewards the sun, or the rain, or the oak, or the tigress?
19848Who will dare to set limits to the promise of Nature''s womb?
19848Who will say a good word for the substance which makes them by tens of thousands in England and Wales alone every year?
19848Why are the numbers of the sexes approximately so equal?
19848Why this distinction?
19848Will it make a better race?
19848Will the consequence be that more of the better stocks,_ of both sexes_, contribute to the composition of future generations?
19848Yet it is not his clothes that you will have to live with, but himself; and the question is what do his clothes mean?
19848and to what sort of women are you relegating it by default?
19848and will there not consequently arise in them even a stronger check to whatever is rough or boisterous?
19848should be looked upon as if one should say, What have my children done for me?

37964Again,_ Why_?
37964And do these two states alternate normally in the opposite halves of the brain, concurrently with the alternation of Day and Night?
37964And now upsprings a further momentous consideration: Is this cause and effect?
37964And to what end is it all?
37964And yet-- Have we reached such a stage of development that emotional considerations are more binding on us than material ones are?
37964And yet-- Whither will drift the Galley of Life when its rowers put their strength elsewhere?
37964Arrogance?
37964Boy- Work: Exploitation or Training?
37964But by what precise means?
37964But yet, in point of fact, what was it that inspired and energised the earlier processes, if not this same Divine Influx?
37964But-- whither is all this trending?
37964Do we, in sleep, when processes have exhausted our daily influx of Life- power, recruit this again from a psychical source?
37964How and why should disease thus have stricken these in mid- career?
37964How and why then did this happen?
37964How is it that the mother, who belongs to one sex only, produces-- and produces in about equal number-- offspring of both?
37964How is it, they inquire, that an embryo bred of two parents of opposite sex develops the sex of one only of these?
37964I Of what order is this Woman- half of Mind which Feminism seeks to extinguish?
37964In the exercise of what vital processes has it been fostered and furthered?
37964In what nursery of Human Consciousness was this fair and gentle blossom sown; to spring, to develop, and to make for gracious growth?
37964Intolerance?
37964Is Sleep a recession merely from the state of Consciousness to the potential states of Sub- and Supra- consciousness?
37964Is it an evolution of the self- negation and the tenderness of parents for their children?
37964Is the power held latent in one generation the potential of the generation following?
37964Is this dynamo re- charged during sleep from some Occult Power- station?
37964It may be asked: Why should woman forgo possession and exercise of faculties available to her, in order to transmit these to sons?
37964Nevertheless-- For how long after the clarion- note of aspiration sounded by Marriage should have ceased to vibrate, would the echo of it last?
37964Otherwise, why two reproductive glands?
37964Pharisaism?
37964Shall she not be content with her beautiful part as generatrix of Faculty, but must seek to be exponent too?
37964Since, in every equation of Science, an unknown factor reveals itself, why not candidly confess this to be a Spiritual factor?
37964The Subjection of woman by man-- What was that evil compared with this other enormity: the Subjection of man by woman, which is fast replacing it?
37964The burning wrongs of women?
37964To say nothing of the less constitutionally- sound, the Ultra- Feminine being, for the most part, a neurotic?
37964What are we?
37964What is it that we, seeing this condition of things at our very door, have, as women, to be so grateful for in male legislation?"
37964What is its significance-- what its explanation?
37964Whence are we?
37964Whence do we derive our daily influx of Life?
37964Whither do we go?
37964Who are we?
37964Why?
37964Yet how is this?
37964Yet what has been the outcome of it all?
37964what are they beside the burning wrongs of helpless babes and children?
3015Are they not also in line with fatherhood?
3015Mary what?
3015Necessary_ to whom?_Not to the women hideously sacrificed to it, surely.
3015What for?
3015Who giveth this woman?
3015Why?
3015And this: To bring worse than leprosy to an innocent clean wife who loves and trusts you?
3015And what about a crime like this; to use the public press to lie to the public for private ends?
3015And what, in especial, has been the effect upon art of a solely masculine expression?
3015Begin at the very beginning with the carven stones of Egypt, the clay records of Chaldea, what do we find of history?
3015But how about the Economic Woman?
3015But is it true that these strenuous games have the educational value attributed to them?
3015But since his own"society,"knowing his weakness, has tied him to her by law; why should she keep up what is after all an unnatural exertion?
3015But what do we see?
3015Democracy is but a half- grown child as yet, one of twins?
3015Did anyone read David Harum for that heart interest?
3015Do not the males still struggle together?
3015Do we find this?
3015Does a child offend?
3015Does a group offend?
3015Does a man offend?
3015Does a woman offend?
3015Does anyone remember that heart interest?
3015Does anyone seriously imagine this to be likely?
3015Even the houses of the rich?
3015Has humanity no interests but those of the heart?
3015Have as many women ever asked for these things as are now asking for the ballot?
3015How about the reverse?
3015How can the most advantage to the most people be obtained from the earth with the least labor?
3015How else are we to look at women except as females?
3015How, then, do we find these masculine tendencies, desire, combat and self- expression, affect the home and family when given too much power?
3015If any dare dispute this, and say it treats equally of woman''s love for man, I answer,"Then why do the stories stop at marriage?"
3015If it is-- why not run the state on that basis?
3015If our industry was normal, what should we see?
3015If you have not the incentive of reward, or the incentive of combat, why work?
3015In the change from the dominance of one sex to the equal power of two, to what may we look forward?
3015In the evolution of this basic social function, what has been the effect of wholly masculine influence?
3015In this new attitude, how shall we face the problems of crime?
3015In what way is the human species distinguished from all other species?
3015Is not that as of old, a source of race advantage?
3015Is that kind of fiction any sort of picture of a woman''s life?
3015Is the practical ugliness of our men''s attire, and the impractical absurdity of our women''s, any contribution to human beauty?
3015It is his society-- may not a man do what he will with his own?
3015Look at our houses-- are they beautiful?
3015Looking at the world as if you held it in your hands to study and discuss, what do we find at present?
3015Men, under a too strictly inter- masculine environment, have evolved the mainly useful but beautiless costume common to- day; and women--?
3015Moreover, leaving our defective bodies concealed by garments; what are those garments, as conducive to health and beauty?
3015No?
3015Now:--Have any of these concessions been granted because a majority of women asked for them?
3015Or this: To knowingly plant poison in an unborn child?
3015Still there remains the field of inter- masculine competition, does there not?
3015Teacher:"In what proportion do we pay taxes?"
3015Teacher:"What is a tax?"
3015Teacher:"What is it to evade taxes?"
3015Teacher:"Why do we all pay taxes?"
3015That it should be a representative government they grasp, but representative of what?
3015That sounds ridiculous, does n''t it-- for"Society"to say?
3015The change is upon us; what will it do to men?
3015There have been more kings than queens, but have there been more good and great ones, in proportion?
3015Therefore all crime ceased, of course?
3015They are females, are n''t they?"
3015To put the most natural question first-- what will men lose by it?
3015To the men who want it?
3015To them this question may be put:"Can you mention any form of life that merely''is,''without doing anything?"
3015To whom then?
3015Was it advanced in opposition to any of them that"women did not want it?"
3015Was this improvement hailed with sympathy and admiration-- crowned with masculine favor?
3015Well?
3015What are the facts as to the relation of men and women to art?
3015What are these much- dreaded feminine characteristics?
3015What do we find, here in America, in the field of"politics?"
3015What do we find?
3015What does this"Love,"and"Do good,"and"Serve"mean?
3015What effect upon civilization is to be expected from the equality of womanhood in the human race?
3015What games are these in which women can not join?
3015What good is your punishment?"
3015What has the male mind made of Christianity?
3015What have men made it?
3015What is our present state as to crime?
3015What is the application of punishment to crime?
3015What is the case?
3015What is the first question of the rational mind?
3015What is the love- story, as rendered by this art?
3015What is the matter with them?"
3015What is the natural, the human attribute?
3015What is the preferred subject matter of fiction?
3015What is the true relation of women to the state?
3015What kind of mind can imagine a kind of god who would like a eunuch better than a woman?
3015What man would"allow"his wife, his daughters, to visit and associate with"the fallen"?
3015What might we look for in a distinctly feminine influence?
3015What of the crimes of poisoning a community with bad food; of defiling the water; of blackening the air; of stealing whole forests?
3015What of the crimes of working little children; of building and renting tenements that produce crime and physical disease as well?
3015What parallel have we in"masculine"literature?
3015What then are true human characteristics?
3015What was the attitude of woman''s"natural protector"when she began to ask some share in human life?
3015When men teach girls, do the girls become-----?
3015When this demand was first made, by women of unusual calibre, and by men sufficiently human to overlook sex- prejudice, how was it met?
3015Who built the houses, the temples, the aqueducts, the city wall?
3015Who did the work of all the ancient world?
3015Who made the furniture, the tools, the weapons, the utensils, the ornaments-- made them strong and beautiful and useful?
3015Who raised the food and garnered it and cooked it and served it?
3015Why is the search- light continually focussed upon a two or three years space of life"mid the blank miles round about?"
3015Why is this so?
3015Why not?
3015Why should a family?
3015Why should it?
3015Why should they be?
3015Why?
3015Why?
3015Yes, truly; but what of it?
3015Yet why not?

3015will be asked; and,"Are not the father''s paternal instincts masculine?"
59974Ah, but,Doctor Dattner pointed out,"do you not realise that, after all, your dread is caused by-- not the cause of-- your stammer?
59974And for how long have you been bashful?
59974And sometimes you still think of that first employer who frightened you so much?
59974And what was her name?
59974And what, may I ask, are the stories that you tell to him most frequently?
59974And, pray, how old is he?
59974And,asked the physician to whom the child had been taken,"had anything out of the way occurred to her that day?"
59974Are you sure of that?
59974Can you give any reason why you should feel so awkward and embarrassed?
59974Can you remember,he asked her,"just when it was that you began to stammer?"
59974Can you tell me,the physician asked,"just when you first noticed that you were bashful?"
59974Had any one or anything greatly frightened you before then?
59974Have n''t I just told you,he cried,"that I have taken an oath never to speak it?
59974Is that all that troubles you?
59974So that people can not see your eyes?
59974That, I suppose, is the average age for the class?
59974What are you going to do with your daughter?
59974What was it?
59974What, then, is this twelve- year- old boy doing among them? 59974 You mean in the attack of diphtheria?"
59974Your bashfulness?
59974And how is its victim to go about the task of overcoming it?
59974And would it not be well to search for the cause of his backwardness and try to remedy it?
59974But, if the parental example is good, if the child''s physical condition is excellent, and if he nevertheless is a sulker-- what then?
59974But, in point of cold fact, whose is the fault?
59974Can you recall any particularly disagreeable incident of your childhood occurring at any time before you were ill of diphtheria?"
59974How could any one expect him to decide anything for himself?
59974If he is so bright, why is he lingering among these little ones?
59974Is it any wonder that the average only child grows up deficient in initiative and self- reliance?
59974Is there any hope for me, short of imprisonment in an asylum for the dangerously insane?"
59974Is there anything you can do to help me?"
59974Is there no cure for me?"
59974Promptly he summoned the father and mother to a conference, and asked them:"Have you been reading or telling fairy stories to your boy lately?"
59974The question remained, why should the mere seeing of a crippled man have sufficient suggestive force to bring on an hysterical crippling?
59974They must also put to themselves the question:"Have I in some way erred so as to make my child sullen by the force of a bad example?"
59974To this mode of dealing with stammerers could anything be in stronger contrast than the brutal Dieffenbach technique?
59974What bearing can it have on my trouble of speech?"
59974What business is it of yours, anyway?
59974What do you suppose I am doing at present?
59974What practical suggestions may be made that will help parents to cope with the problem of children''s jealousy?
59974What, then, is the moral of all this?
59974What, then, is this bashfulness which exerts so widespread and baneful an influence?
59974Whence does it take its rise?
33200But what of all that?
33200But who?
33200Does that seem odd to you? 33200 Fellow citizens,"said the colored orator, reported by Dr. Paul Monroe of Columbia,"what am education?
33200Have you read the Home Economics books? 33200 Hello, Fannie, did you get Ned?"
33200Him?
33200I got him all right, but what do you think? 33200 Is that radical?
33200May not required courses be added to the college curriculum to inculcate business power and sense in all women?
33200Not so clever as the ore- boat, is it?
33200Say, Fannie, why do n''t you tell your friend Ned to cut in here and pay a little attention to Marge?
33200Should not the oversupply of teachers be reduced by directing many of our graduates into other pursuits than teaching? 33200 Well,"she said,"why do n''t you ask me to help you a bit?
33200Will not woman have a_ particular_ part in it? 33200 A real paradox? 33200 Are there no men''s tailors, gents''furnishing shops, luncheons, clubs, banquets, athletics, celebrations? 33200 Are there no vats in Milwaukee, no stills in Kentucky, no factories wrapping paper rings around bunches of dead leaves at Tampa? 33200 Are there so many more righteous women along the Gulf of Mexico than along the Atlantic Coast? 33200 But are n''t there thousands and thousands of cases which, while less advanced, are pointed in the same direction? 33200 But how is their singleness occupied? 33200 But is this a matter for women alone? 33200 But was luxury the_ start_? 33200 But what can you do about it? 33200 But what is the modern home? 33200 But what of the women who are directing that work? 33200 But what, in this case, is the training proposed? 33200 But who are you, you that now control Living? 33200 But why? 33200 But why? 33200 Can anything be done to dam the stream of dependent and delinquent children which flows through the children''s building so steadily? 33200 Can they be staunched? 33200 Could anything be more womanly? 33200 Did you ever read Havelock Ellis''s book calledA Study of British Genius"?
33200Did you ever see a school of salesmanship for department- store women employees?
33200Do not men also consume?
33200Does it astonish you that they matured young?
33200Does it astonish you that they were soon ready for the duties of adult life?
33200Dreamy?

33200FOR MY DAUGHTER?
33200For those 151 persons, is it human volition?
33200Have we lost anything?
33200How about that?"
33200How can the barber support the manicurist who has had twelve?
33200How can the clerk support the cloak saleswoman who has had eighteen dollars a week of her own?
33200How much money would John want to spend on her before he would take her?
33200How were they to be occupied?
33200I said,"who are you?"
33200In other words, is it strange that the topic of woman''s suffrage is now tolerated on the floor of the Chicago Woman''s Club?
33200Is he not her husband?
33200Is it a perverse aversion to the other sex?
33200Is it not strange that among the twenty- one members of the Chicago Board of Education only one is a woman?
33200Is n''t it their purpose to give their pupils discipline and culture, pure and broad, unaffected by commercial intention?
33200Is n''t that what colleges are, and ought to be, for?
33200It ended up with:"Do you mean to tell me that after all the reducing and dieting I''ve been doing I ca n''t wear under a twenty- seven?
33200Just the sort of thing woman''s club women would do?
33200May she not even have a_ dominant_ part in it?
33200May we observe that they were not taken in marriage out of a conscious sense of duty to the Commonwealth and to Population?
33200Must the girl learn two, be twice a specialist?
33200Now is Right Living to be only for girls?
33200One hundred and fifteen more out of every thousand?
33200Question: Are they in public life?
33200Seems strange to- day, does n''t it, that there should have been any hesitation at all?
33200Shall I not?"
33200Shall we ever again, from the most favored of homes, see a William Pitt, Chancellor of the Exchequer, by merit, at 23?
33200So on the fifth of December, 1883, the long- apprehended question arose:"Shall Our Club Do Practical Work?"
33200Something exquisitely gratifying in being certain,_ certain_, that it is n''t just necessity that keeps her a home woman?
33200The broader question is,''Will that interest grow?''
33200The cloak saleswoman may talk flippantly about it, but, at heart, is n''t she seriously right?
33200They''re abstracted from the world, are n''t they?
33200Trifling?
33200Was n''t it only the means to the_ finish_?
33200We then ask"Who need to know about Foods, Textiles, Hygiene?"
33200What are the subterranean sources of that stream?
33200What did Wyatt get out of it?
33200What does a course of study like that of Mr. Harvey''s Homemakers''School attempt to add to academic education?
33200What does it all mean?
33200What of the women who are directing the other enterprises I have mentioned?
33200What''s the matter?
33200Where in history shall we find men the world took more from, gave less to?
33200Which one of these two revulsions will be the stronger?
33200Who has thus postponed maturity?
33200Who has thus prolonged infancy?
33200Will they?
33200Would n''t it have been remarkable if the human race had been able to carry so large a part of itself on its back?
33200Would n''t it have been remarkable if their families had been able to support them all at home?

43631Can she walk out a free woman?
43631Can the condition be remedied?

43631Can you see the invisible hand that is doping the racetrack sheet?
43631Could Chicago have a deeper blot of shame, dishonor and disgrace on her escutcheon than the present police department?
43631Could anything be more fiendish?
43631Did they accomplish the work?
43631Do the police dare tamper with these men flaunting their violations of the law in their faces?
43631Do they fatten on the proceeds of this crime, free of trust- tribute?
43631Do you realize that$ 15,000,000 is five per cent of$ 300,000,000?
43631Do you see that"washed- out"bleached blonde with colorless eyes, who smiles at the drinking youth who sits with her?
43631Do you think the friendly game of poker is on"the square"?
43631Do you wonder that they sit hour after hour at a table guzzling beer with their drunken customers?
43631How long, Oh God, how long?
43631In the most defiled pages of the world''s history, can you find a parallel?
43631Is it conceivable?
43631Is it fair to hurl him into the midst of temptations without weapons to fight the demons of sin, crime, vice and corruption?
43631Is it necessary to say why?
43631Is it possible?
43631Is that figure something to startle you?
43631Is there any power that can dig down deep enough to uproot this crying evil?
43631Is there hope that some day criminals may be locked behind barred doors that gold can not pick?
43631It ends--?
43631Mr.... the hotel clerk, tells me you can find me a companion?"
43631Shall it go on interminably:--this reign of the triumvirate- Vice- Graft- Corruption?
43631Surely, you say, these hotels do not figure in the great vice plot which exists in Chicago?
43631The question,"Shall this city( Chicago) become anti- saloon territory?"
43631Then why are they allowed to carry on their thieving trade and fatten on their ill- gotten gains?

43631Why not destroy these vicious people and close the dives and save people from committing suicide?

29981[ 263] Can any surprise be felt; does one not wonder rather at the blindness of man''s understanding? 29981 Am I, then, afraid that I plead thus for caution? 29981 And if we stifle them are we really the better-- the more moral sex? 29981 And is not this one with the very purpose of life? 29981 And set no care whatsoever in thy heart: are the years which( we pass) upon the earth so many( that we need do this)?

29981But shall we enter therein to take possession?
29981But the possibility of applying biological results to sociology with any hope of enlightenment depends on an understanding of the questions, How?
29981But what will be the result of women''s action in this matter?
29981Can the woman of the future belong to herself?
29981Can their present characteristic weakness, vices, and failings be really overcome under different and freer conditions of domestic and social life?
29981Can these things, indeed, be?
29981Can they safely be modified or disregarded?
29981Can we wonder that the differences between the sexes assume such great and, in certain directions, such unnatural importance?
29981Could moral inconstancy go further than this?
29981Could they without woman have advanced anything like so far?
29981Do not instincts arise in us, too, that demand expression, free from all coercion of convention?
29981Do not the records of these old- world civilisations show us the dominant position of the mother in relation to the life of the race?
29981Do they not seem to have solved that secret which we are so painful in our search of?
29981Do we not know that there is not this difference between our sexual needs and those of men?
29981Do we want them changed?
29981Does Nature give us any help in solving the problem?
29981For what is the truth here?
29981For, after all, what shall it profit women if, in gaining the world, they lose themselves?
29981Have men, then, any right to pride themselves to such a degree on their achievement in the arts?
29981He often repeated to himself the words of Christ:''Woman, what have I to do with thee?''
29981He says:"How many fortunes wasted by negligence or extravagance have been restored by a long minority under female management?"
29981How can any one hope to reform a class whose real lives, thoughts, and desires are unknown to them?
29981How does it place women in her relation to the arts?
29981How far is her state of physical and mental inferiority the result of this position?
29981How, for instance, can ignorance and weakness constitute at once the perfection of womankind, and the imperfection of mankind?
29981Hundreds of women must be interrogated, observed and reported upon-- and then what?
29981I asked him if the women did not at times misuse their rights of authority, and if men did not rebel?
29981If the larger social virtues are wanting in her, may it not be because they have not been called for in a parasitic life?
29981If the partners in marriage are happy, why lock them in?
29981In a word, how far are the new claims woman is making consistent with race permanence?
29981In sex are we always to be faced with an irresolvable tangle of disharmonies?
29981Is it not rather a picture, with the details crudely emphasised, of the action of Life- Force of which the sexes are both the helpless victims?
29981Is the great boundary line which divides the two halves of life, with the intimate woman''s problems that depend upon it, to remain for ever fixed?
29981Is this malice or is it revenge?
29981Is this wise?
29981It is important to know what the phenomena are, but it is yet more important to know how?
29981It is woman who is whispering to herself and to her sisters, and, as she gains in courage, crying it aloud,"Men, what have we to do with you?
29981May it not have arisen in Plato''s mind from the contrast he saw between Aspasia and the free companions of men and the restricted and ignorant wives?
29981May not the old ideals remain for service and find expression in the new work?
29981Must we not then rather see if there is no cause in ourselves for blame?
29981Must we regard this emotional endowment of woman as permanent or alterable?
29981Now, how does this history from the bee- hive apply to us?
29981Now, how does woman stand in this respect?
29981Of all of which what is the moral?
29981Shall we know the answer to our problem?
29981The hunger- driven male- cell certainly seeks the female-- but what happens then?
29981The question is not: are our women fit for labour?
29981The question is-- what form it shall take?
29981There comes the sting Of the whole shame, and then the jeopardy For good or ill, what shall that master be?
29981There has come a time when the old cry,"Woman, what have I to do with you?"
29981They do not die, they live; but how?
29981This demand is present everywhere under civilisation; what are its causes?
29981This has forced the thought-- is the difference between the sexes, after all, so complete?
29981Thus, I have found myself wondering, as I sought sincerely to find truth, whether I am indeed woman or man?
29981To what extent is she justified in her present revolt?
29981To whom, then, but to you, my little son, can I dedicate my book?
29981Was it because women, who are certainly more practical and careful of detail than men are, had part in the social arrangements?
29981We have now to look at the question from another side and ask, How far is this ideal monogamy possible in practice?
29981We may well ask, Why unthinkable?
29981Were the sexes, then, really alike in Egypt?
29981What are her natural disabilities, and to what extent are they modifiable by new arrangements of social and domestic life?
29981What are the conditions that have brought woman to her position of dependence upon man?
29981What can be more reasonable than to render one another mutually happy, when it costs so little and does nobody any harm?
29981What changes in the law will they demand?
29981What do women know about it?
29981What is the future of woman?
29981What is the practical outcome to us of this early relation of the sexes in Nature''s scheme?
29981What is the real need of the prostitute on the part of men?
29981What matter?
29981What result will her freedom have on the sexual relationships?
29981What will they do?
29981What will women do when they have gained the voice to control the attitude the State shall assume in the regulation of their work?
29981What, then, is the real cause of the lowness of remuneration offered to women for work when compared with men?
29981Which are we to follow?
29981Which is the wheat and which the tares, that must be garnered or sifted from our loves?
29981Whither are they taking us?
29981Why this horror of passion?
29981Will the alteration really be of benefit to women?
29981Will the change be likely to work for the benefit of the future?
29981Will women learn to develop their own nature and to express their own genius?
29981[ 36] Do"the Intellectuals"understand what they really want?
29981[ 92] Must we say, then, that the female animal likes servitude?
29981and Why?
29981and for what reason?
29981and how far are these likely to be changed?
29981but this: are the conditions of labour in England fit either for women or men?
29981if not, why pretend that they are?
29981or, in other words, How far does the predominant sexual activity of woman separate her from man in the sphere of intellectual and social work?
29981or, to be more exact, whether the female qualities in me do not include many others regarded as masculine?
11965How do I love thee? 11965 A man may have no ear for music, and yet be a good and noble man; but who will deny that he lacks something because he has it not? 11965 Again, this morality for which( it is affirmed) society is prepared to pay so horrible a price-- what is it? 11965 And for what purpose is a child to be brought into the world under conditions so imperfect? 11965 And if not, why not? 11965 And on what, in the end, is it based?
11965And people begin to ask;"What real difference can a mere ceremony make?"
11965And what are a child''s rights?
11965And when people enter on this relationship, how are they prepared?
11965And when you see the extreme result, the prude on one side, the rake on the other, do you not begin to desire a better way?
11965And why?
11965Are her"morals"then at the mercy of another person?
11965But what should be the nature of that concern?
11965But why do you desire it to be easy to judge?
11965But yet, is it not a heroic path that I point out to you?
11965Can one take such a gift lightly, and pass from one relationship to another with a readiness which would seem contemptible in a friend?
11965Can you take that-- and give it-- and pass on, as though it were a light thing?
11965Did God join those two together?
11965Do you imagine that because you have a contract to protect you while you do it, you are doing what is moral?
11965Do you know how many of those married people seized the opportunity to desert each other and go and marry somebody else?
11965Do you remember the cry of Julie in"The Three Daughters of M. Dupont"?
11965Do you think that medicine will ever be able to rid the world of what are called the diseases of immorality as long as immorality remains?
11965Do you wonder if the term"old maid"has become synonym for everything that is narrow, and hard, and prudish and repressive?
11965Does anyone suppose that it was a mere instinct of asceticism that drove St. Francis to make out of snow, cold images of wife and child?
11965Does she reason all that out?
11965Does that mean that he regrets his choice?
11965Have they not born into the world with travail of soul, the souls of men and women?
11965How are we to know?
11965How are we, who have many friends, many neighbours, on whom our standards must react, to judge their lives?
11965How could one so physically vital, so humanly and divinely full of love, escape the conflict?
11965How many have even tried to understand?
11965How many have refrained from scorn?
11965How on earth does that change anything at all?
11965How shall they see clearly whom we have clothed in darkness, or judge truly who are so terribly alone?
11965How would He have developed that spiritual power, how would He have become so great a Lover of the world if He knew nothing of that side of life?
11965If it is not given outright in the belief that the gift is final, can the"experiment"be valid?
11965If they affirm"the right to motherhood"when they want children, or the satisfaction of the sex- instinct when that need becomes imperious?
11965If they determine to snatch at anything that yet lies in their grasp?
11965If this be the normal vocation of the normal woman how many of these have been deprived of all that seemed to them to make life worth living?
11965In marriage is it possible to know finally until the final step is taken?
11965In other words, should physical union be the expression of spiritual union?
11965In what way do they differ?
11965Is it anything but prostitution to sell yourself for money, whether you are a man or a woman?
11965Is it astonishing if they rebel?
11965Is it not certain that the expression of love does intensify and deepen love?
11965Is it really fair to say to them that their moral standards are going down, that they have no sense now of morality or self- respect?
11965Is it the"outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual grace?"
11965Is it worth such a price?
11965Is not the"moral problem"really created, not by human nature, but by the attempt to bind what can not be bound and to coerce what should be free?
11965Is not this very sense of finality-- this desire to give and burn one''s ships-- of the very essence of love?
11965Is passion a cause or an effect?
11965Is that difficult to believe in these days, when psychology is teaching us how all- important thought is?
11965Is that not the height and depth of cruelty?
11965Is the whole community willing to pay it, or is it exacted from us alone?
11965Is there any mockery of motherhood more complete than this sacrifice of the child to the mother?
11965Is there one here who is not conscious of some dislocation in his life that he must combat?
11965Is there one whit of difference, morally, between the prostitution that has no legal recognition and the prostitution that has?
11965Is this the ideal of the Sermon on the Mount?
11965Is this to abandon the ideal I have been upholding?
11965Is this to be a cause for divorce?
11965It is something, however?
11965Looking at marriage from that point of view, can one desire that it should be anything less than permanent, indissoluble?
11965Marriage should be indissoluble; but what is marriage?
11965May I sketch what I imagine is the experience of most people?
11965Men and women claim the right to"experience,"but experience of what?
11965Or is it a means by which that grace is achieved?
11965Or who, having loved in any of these ways, will lightly break the bond?
11965Ought you to find it hard to believe that what you do in the utmost secrecy affects others, since it affects you, and no man lives to himself alone?
11965Should it ever be exclusive or proprietary?
11965Should love ever be other than perfectly free, and is not the attempt to bind it essentially"immoral"?
11965That which God made, and, therefore, which no man should put asunder?
11965There is another test also for love: Does it express itself naturally and rightly?
11965There we cease to be literal: how then can we fall back on a literal interpretation at another point?
11965This little set of iron rules makes it very easy to judge, does it not?
11965To ask yourself whether there is not a third choice before you?
11965To have so great and wonderful a thing in your nature and to suppress it as though it were something shameful and weak?
11965To some people it seems to be immoral even to ask the question-- on what are your moral standards based?
11965V THE MORAL STANDARD OF THE FUTURE: WHAT SHOULD IT BE?
11965We do not do it with the other virtues: why do we desire to do it with this one?
11965What answer then shall we give to the rising generation which questions us--"On what do you base your moral standards?"
11965What difference has been made in their relation to each other?
11965What does she buy?
11965What is the significance of such teaching?
11965What should we-- the community-- hold up as the right standard of sex- relationship, and what methods should we use to impose it on others?
11965What then should those do who have this temperament?
11965What woman that hast lost her husband does not realize the truth of what I say?
11965What, then, are the realities of our nature?
11965What?
11965When a woman sells her body for money, do you think that it makes it moral that she does it in a church or in a registry office?
11965When shall we learn that every human being is a unity, and that to ignore any part of it-- body, mind or spirit-- is idiotic?
11965When you hear of a Beethoven deaf or of a Robert Louis Stevenson spitting blood, are you not conscious of disharmony?
11965Where is your little set of rules?
11965Where then lies the difficulty, since probably men and women alike would agree that what I have said is true?
11965Who can say:"These people are moral because they are married, and those are immoral, they are not married?"
11965Who knows what is our ultimate goal?
11965Who knows yet of what it is capable?
11965Who shall deliver us from this body of death?
11965Who shall say that he is wrong?
11965Who that has once heard this can easily take anything less?
11965Whose nature is all harmony?
11965Whose temperament guarantees him from temptation?
11965Why have we done it?
11965Why have we persisted?
11965Why should she not cheat and thieve?
11965Why should you?
11965Why?
11965Why?
11965know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?"
29903But this can not be a man? 29903 But what do I see?
29903''Who are these three ladies?''
29903(_ b_)_ Objective_: Is the work very good, good, mediocre or bad, compared with the normal human average?
29903(_ d_) A heavily tainted couple, desperately enamored of each other, came to me in great distress to ask:"May we get married?"
29903= Civil Marriage.=--What then is civil marriage, and what ought it to be?
29903= Conclusions.=--What are the principal conclusions to which we are led by this short study of the ancestral history or phylogeny of man?
29903= Definition of Morality.=--How can we define morality or ethics?
29903= Human and Religious Morality.=--What then constitutes ethics or true human morality?
29903= The Fate of Prostitutes.=--What becomes of prostitutes in the course of time?
29903According to the legend, sodomy was a vice of the inhabitants; is this why it is punished at the present day?
29903All State regulation of prostitution is to be absolutely condemned; but what position should civil law take up with regard to free prostitution?
29903And we should sit still and witness our civilization go into decay and fall to pieces without raising the cry of warning and applying the remedy?
29903But has confession been specially instituted for this type of character?
29903But of what use is it to be jealous?
29903But this is hardly explicit, for what do we understand by good and evil?
29903But what else?
29903But what is charity but the synthesis of the social sentiments of sympathy, devotion and self- denial, for the benefit of humanity?
29903But what is the use of being blind to such patent facts?
29903But when suddenly freed from all pain she immediately replied:"How could it hurt me, Theophilus?
29903But why should they be hidden?
29903Can it be conscientiously said that hygiene has benefited?
29903Can not it, therefore, be established on another basis than that of cheques to be drawn on paradise?
29903Can not man also be more happy in giving than receiving?
29903Can we pretend that they are properly prepared for it?
29903Do they imagine that they have done anything that will improve these children?
29903Does a normal man ever marry without knowing what he is doing?
29903Does not this account to a large extent for the great number of unhappy marriages recorded nowadays?
29903Does the whole duty of the doctor consist in dissuading the patient from marriage?
29903Have they punished the real culprit?
29903How are we to begin?
29903How can it be otherwise in a species which has lived for thousands or perhaps millions of years as small hostile tribes, separated from each other?
29903How can one judge and condemn one''s neighbor without having the least idea of the state of mind of these pariahs of society?
29903How could I prove the matter before a tribunal?
29903How does the law obtain the right to punish an act which does no harm to any one, nor to society, nor even to an animal?
29903How is it possible for a young girl to remain pure in mind after such conversations with an unmarried man?
29903How is it that such a brave and industrious woman can feel repulsion toward her own child?
29903If no mystery is made of these things in the case of plants and animals, why should not instruction be given in human reproduction?
29903In order to prepare our daughters for marriage, is it not logical to begin by telling them what it is, what it involves and what it exacts?"
29903Is he conscientious?
29903Is it necessary to say that any self- respecting doctor who is aware of this state of affairs should never countenance such marriages?
29903Is it not a ridiculous and cruel irony to call_ natural children_ those born apart from marriage?
29903Is it surprising that love in such cases becomes replaced by bitterness and despair?
29903Is it to be wondered that they have recourse to prostitution?
29903Is not the quality of dogs improved by breeding from the good and eliminating the bad?
29903Is she not more prepared for the depths of vice than for conjugal life?"
29903Is that morality?
29903Is the man less guilty than the woman in procreation apart from marriage, if we can use the term guilt in such cases?
29903Is the pupil worthy of trust?
29903Let us return to our example: why does the idea of my wife call to mind that of the journey?
29903Must husband and wife, who love and esteem each other, be separated?
29903Nudity.=--What is the origin of the fact that man is ashamed of his genital organs?
29903On the other hand, are not cowardice, falseness and meanness, etc., reproduced with quite as much certainty in other families?
29903Or should they abandon sexual intercourse all together and live like brother and sister?
29903Sexual continence in wedlock?
29903Should the law punish artificial abortion?
29903Starvation?
29903Then her terrestrial lover, Theophilus, forcing his way through the crowd, burst her bonds and said with a sad smile,"Does it hurt you, Dorothea?"
29903There is one question, however, which arises: Can prostitution in itself be regarded as a misdemeanor punishable by law?
29903This traffic is formally prohibited by most laws; but what are laws made for, if not to be broken?
29903Well, how is it to be done?
29903What are the effects of this state of things on the sexual life of modern society?
29903What can one reply to such logic?
29903What can we expect from the descendants of a population so completely degenerate?
29903What happens when two persons live exclusively for each other, if one of them dies?
29903What is human right?
29903What is the use of procreating healthy and robust children if they are vain, egoistic, impulsive, crafty, wanting in will power, or perhaps criminal?
29903What is the use of prosecuting inverts?
29903What is the use of the theoretical belief in free- will in this case?
29903What is to be done when law and religion forbid the application of preventive measures and even prosecute the person that recommends them?
29903What is to be done?
29903What standpoint are we to take in the sexual domain, which is free from prejudice, with regard to true human morality?
29903What then are the types of men which we should endeavor to produce?
29903What was she to do?
29903What will be the consequences of such a state of things?
29903What will marriage be like?
29903Who then can decide where art ends and pornography begins, or how far eroticism may without danger be expressed in art?
29903Why can not the same means of existence which allow concubinage suffice for marriage?
29903Why did you bring me into this world?
29903Why not teach them?
29903Why should a more and more international union between men be impossible?
29903Why should men be the only ones to perform obligatory social service?
29903Why should that be so?
29903Why should the common use of an international language and the suppression of war between civilized countries be Utopias?
29903Why should the mother conceal the fact that it is nearly the same in man as in animals?
29903Why should the suppression of the use of narcotic substances such as alcohol, opium, hashish, etc., which poison entire nations, be Utopian?
29903Why that of the trunk?
29903Would it not be wiser to take things in time and warn them of the dangers ahead?
29903_ Fecisti fornicationem contra naturam, i d est, cum masculis vel animalibus coire, i d est, cum equo, cum vacca vel asina, vel aliquo animali?_( vol.
29903_ Fornicationem fecisti cum masculo intra coxas; ita dico ut tuum virile membrum intra coxas alterius mitteres, et sic agitando semen funderes?_ 3.
15490A simple question will express this doubt more forcibly, and place this subject in a stronger light:''Are women qualified to educate men?'' 15490 Is it not the Lord;"has not he in his infinite love and infinite wisdom appointed this very trial for you?
15490It is the Lord,who died that we might live, and can we murmur even if we dared?
15490What do I expose myself to by making this observation?
15490[ 109] Is it possible to believe, that upon their training depends the happiness of families-- the well- being of nations? 15490 [ 27] Examine, then, in the first place, whether you yourself are asking"amiss?"
15490Are not even such small works of love within your reach?
15490Are not women made to love, and to be loved: and does not their future destiny too often depend upon this passion?
15490Are you, however, really aware that you are in the habit of indulging such thoughts?
15490But in what way?
15490But think you that any kind of sin can be among those misfortunes that can not be avoided?
15490But why have you so little faith?
15490Do you not know that their voice is dreaded and unwelcome, as it sounds through their home, deprived through them of the lovely peace of home?
15490Do you not know that they bestow wretchedness instead of happiness, even on those who are dearest and nearest to them?
15490Even if it should become ours, have we not acted in direct contradiction to the revealed will of God concerning us?
15490Even if you can procure money to satisfy the demands of mere carelessness, are you acting as a faithful steward by thus expending it?
15490Has any thing in these educations prepared her to make a wise choice in marriage?
15490Has she ever been enlightened as to the consequent unspeakable importance of personal character as the source of influence?
15490Have the duties of maternity,--the nature of moral influence,--been pointed out to her?
15490Have we not all to"work out our own salvation with fear and trembling?
15490How can parents bear this responsibility?
15490How have you fulfilled your lofty mission?
15490How, then, are women to interfere in politics?
15490I have myself been cured of any shackling anxiety as to"What will people say?"
15490I once heard a young lady exclaim, when asked to accompany her family on a boating excursion,"Can any thing be more tiresome than a family party?"
15490If we sought"first the kingdom of God and his righteousness,"[14] should we have so much energy remaining to waste on petty worldly annoyances?
15490In a word, have any means, direct or indirect, prepared her for her duties?
15490In the very heart of civilized Europe, are women what they ought to be?
15490Into the cultivation of the arts, disguised under the hackneyed name of accomplishments, does one particle of intellectuality creep?
15490Is it the consideration of its being so hateful in the sight of God, of its being injurious to the cause of religion?
15490Is not their step shunned in the passage, or on the stairs, in the certainty of no kind or cheerful greeting?
15490Is not this the most complete condemnation of all our systems of education?
15490Is not this the very process you are continually carrying on in your own mind, to your own injury, indeed, far more than to any one else''s?
15490Is this choice, however, made on account of the frivolity and ignorance of the persons so selected?
15490Is this right?
15490Originators of conscientiousness, how can they implant what they have never cultivated, nor brought to maturity in themselves?
15490Since women will love, might it not be as well to teach them to love wisely?
15490That which is impossible with man is possible with God, and who may dare to limit his free grace?
15490The want of this quality is a failing with which our sex is often charged, and justly; but are we to blame?
15490These must pay a heavy penalty for their superiority; but is it therefore a superiority they would resign?
15490This is a good sign of the humility and lovingness of your spirit: how is the test borne?
15490This is indeed true; but are you not deceiving yourself by referring to the mere overt act?
15490To prepare the young for life; its subsequent trials; its weighty duties; its inevitable termination?
15490To whom?

15490[ 92] Can you feel this with respect to the emotions of pleasurable excitement with which you left Lady M.''s ball?
15490and does not their education prove how little we know the consequences of neglecting it?
15490and how long will they consent not only patiently to acquiesce in its truth, but to prove it by their actions?
15490whether you are able to pray as devoutly on returning from a ball as after an evening spent at home?
8579Am I to fall in China, and see my friends no more? 8579 Am I to sleep in such a grave?

8579But who does not know that Jehovah is able to accomplish more by our deaths than_ we_ are able to accomplish by our lives?
8579Can I leave you, Far in distant lands to dwell?

8579Could they not be obtained?
8579Death found her ready, and led a_ willing_ victim down into the sepulchre, who exclaimed, as she entered it,"O Death, where is thy sting?
8579Have I looked upon the shores of America for the last time?"
8579Her language was,--"Shall I be carried to the skies On flowery beds of ease, While others fought to win the prize And sailed through bloody seas?"
8579Her last words were,"How long, O Lord, how long?"
8579How can I go with but little prospect of return?
8579How can I leave my mother here while oceans roll between us?
8579How could she behold him borne away to a distant land, to see her face no more?
8579How could she leave all these?
8579How could she leave that parent?
8579How could she say"Farewell,"and do it with the consciousness that she should gaze upon that mild countenance and that loved form no more?
8579In the service of such a Master, who of his followers would talk of sacrifice?
8579Is it no privilege to aid in forwarding the only cause for which the world was made and for which all nature stands?
8579Is it no_ privilege_ to help forward that cause which has engaged the hearts and hands of all the wise and good of every age?
8579Just converted, fresh from the public vows of consecration, the anxious question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
8579O Grave, where is thy victory?
8579O Grave, where is thy victory?"
8579O, has earth ever witnessed such a spectacle as that?
8579O, when will they turn and live?
8579The old man, with his white locks and streaming eyes, asked,"What shall I do to be saved?"
8579The whole city felt the influence of the work of grace; and the sceptic, in amazement, asked,"What do these things mean?"
8579There, beneath the cool breath of autumn, they united in singing,--"When shall we all meet again?
8579To a friend in Beverly she writes as follows:"How can I go and leave those who have done so much for me, and who will be so sorry for my loss?
8579To the question,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?"
8579What can_ I_ do to believe?
8579What shall I do?''
8579When shall we all meet again?
8579While in the agony of death she said,''Why can not I be released?''
8579Who can wish her back to earth?
8579Why, my brother, would you be excused?
8579Years ago the question was,"Who will go?"

11608Are you not kind? 11608 Are you serious?"
11608Do n''t you see? 11608 Do you know it, or shall I tell you?"
11608Do you mean to say that you really see anything in that definition?
11608How would_ you_ define humor?
11608Now, tell me, on your honor, do you really see anything funnier in the under side of that sofa than in the top side?
11608Well?
11608A man said to me not long ago,"What has got into the girls?
11608And how did she learn it?
11608And what is it that makes the American girl so dangerous for all the other women in the world to compete with?
11608And where do you find the new woman now?
11608Are we poor bachelors to take courage and believe that we can afford one of these beautiful luxuries in wives?"
11608Are you perfect?
11608Bashforth?
11608Besides, has n''t he given her a piano to pay for it?

11608But the rest of us?
11608But what are you going to do?
11608But what kind of men are we to please?
11608But what, in these dull, unimaginative days, are the terrors of conscience to the diseases of the liver?
11608But, looking at it from our standpoint, does it not seem as if the men had all the rights on their side?
11608Ca n''t you just_ see_ what kind of a husband that boy would make?
11608Could anything be worse, dear shade of Sarah Battle, even if I do win?

11608Does a fragment of genius corrupt the aesthetic sense?
11608Has it become the fashion to economize?
11608Has nobody ever trained these girls to think?

11608How do you know but that she wants to save a little out of the market- money to buy you a nicer birthday present than usual?
11608How do you know what she suffered before she became new?
11608How do you like my new gown?"
11608How does it come that if you want to find great numbers of them together you go to Huyler''s instead of to Brentano''s?
11608How many do_ we_ have to choose from?
11608How well do we girls know you when you have called on us three hundred and sixty- five times in succession?
11608How well do we know you when we have been engaged to you six months?
11608How, when a lovely girl enters, the men all straighten their ties and the women moisten their lips?
11608I wonder if a man ever deliberately made up his mind to marry, and then hunted up his ideal girl?
11608I wonder if they love them, if they are satisfied with them, if_ ennui_ of the soul is not a bitter thing to bear?
11608I wonder what would happen if somebody should open a Select Kindergarten for Embryo Husbands?
11608Is it any wonder that his house is always full?
11608Is it that ideal love is only founded upon the truth and the superstructure is built of fabrications?
11608Is it that we women are much more artistic and more clever at masquerading the truth that we make so much better lovers than the men?
11608Is n''t she handsome?
11608Is n''t that delicious?"
11608Is n''t that rather surprising, when Carlyle''s humor is rather lumbering?"
11608Is not a wise silence sometimes to be preferred to the wisest speech?
11608Is she a poor creature?
11608Is she masculine or unwomanly?
11608Is she wearing bloomers?
11608Is there not often a finer eloquence in an answering silence than the cleverest words could express?
11608Is writing a hardening process?
11608Is_ that_ a subject to sneer at or to jest about?
11608Is_ that_ trivial?
11608Is_ that_ what you think we want?
11608It ought also to bar the simply witty man; for what is more jarring than a misplaced wit or an ill- timed jocularity?
11608Let me see: when did I leave my office early?
11608Men are always saying,"Well, why do n''t you tell us the kind of men you would like us to be?"
11608Must you wear shabby boots and carry a baggy umbrella just because you can write?
11608Now who but women are responsible for the training of men?
11608Oh, is n''t it fine that one does not dare to do all the things one feels like doing in society?
11608Only one glance, which no man caught, telegraphing,"Do I, though?
11608Pray did you never see her before she wore bloomers?
11608Queer, is n''t it, when the Simon Tappertits of this life are the least of the men who bore us?
11608Untrained men under thirty- five?
11608Was that his name?
11608Well, I was walking up Broadway with Buckley, and at about Thirty- fourth Street-- Wait a moment--_was_ it Thirty- fourth Street?
11608What are you going to give us?
11608What difference does it make?
11608What is a prison cell to a clever embezzler, if he can have books and a pipe?
11608What kind of schools do they attend?
11608What kind of women will these girls make, to whom a wrinkle in their waist is of more moment than their soul''s salvation?
11608What_ was_ that fellow''s name?
11608When you want to surprise us with a present, what do you do?
11608Who cares whether Napoleon or Wellington came out ahead at Waterloo, as long as your listener is kept awake by your recital?
11608Who has spoiled them by flattery, until they are little peacocks to whom a mirror is an irresistible temptation?
11608Who is doing anything to remedy?
11608Who is doing anything to_ prevent_?
11608Why are literary women always supposed to be frayed at the edges?
11608Why are old maids always supposed to wear black silks?
11608Why ca n''t you mix the two?
11608Why did n''t you do as you said you were going to?
11608Why did n''t you do it her way?
11608Why do unthinking parents supply them with money, and never ask how they spend it?
11608Why have men always possessed an exclusive right to the sense of humor?
11608Why must they spoil it?
11608Why not reform our penitentiary methods?
11608Why not, pray?
11608You do n''t pretend to declare, do you, that there never were unconventional women, ill- dressed and rowdy women, before the new woman was heard of?
11608You know I shall be with you, darling, and have n''t you often said that you were perfectly happy wherever I was?"
11608before we let you know whether we want you or not, or before we begin to let ourselves go?
19199Are you not happy,writes Madame de Staël,"in your magical power of inspiring affection?
19199Formerly, I often thought, Why was I born? 19199 How can one who hates men love a woman without blushing?"
19199How could he think I should tarry in Germany, when, by leaving it, I had a chance of seeing him? 19199 I speak to others; but with whom do I converse, if it be not, O my God with thee?"
19199What will become of me, if ever I pass out of the light which beams on me from thine eyes? 19199 Yes; but is there cause of fear for what I have done?"
19199''Günderode,''I cried, may I come in?''
19199''What does this mean?''
19199After her return to Languedoc, we find her writing in her journal,"My Maurice, must it be our lot to live apart?
19199All school- days''friendship, childhood innocence?
19199And are there not a Saint Elizabeth and a Lady Godiva, capable of supernal deeds of self- denial and heroism for the sake of blessing the poor?
19199And have we not seen women whose hideous shape and fiendish spirit suggested an alliance with antediluvian monsters?
19199And is it not to be feared that many in our age die this death?
19199And is there not a Messalina, who would receive embraces in a bath of blood?
19199And now has not something been said to shake the current opinion, that the friendships of women are few and superficial?
19199And what of the enchantresses themselves, beneath whose wand these graces arose?
19199And what shall I do when thou art dead?''
19199And where do you find, purely shielded behind manners all frost, a heart all celestial fire?
19199And will you rend our ancient love asunder, To join with men in scorning your poor friend?
19199And yet, why is it not just as much his duty to be her servant, as it is her duty to be his servant?
19199And, in the outset, is it not obvious that the home affections flourish so scantily because scanty attention is paid to the cultivation of them?
19199Are the life and happiness of the poet, of the man of genius, a trifle?
19199Are the parties selfish, unfeeling, ungenuine?
19199Because one can do more than another, shall he compel the other to do nothing?
19199But is it not too dangerous to be cultivated?
19199But is this distaste a veracious instinct?
19199But would this really be an advance, or a retrogression?
19199Can any woman be too grateful that she stands on this side of that breadth instead of on the other side?
19199Can we not, then, love each other differently?
19199Come, come, dear friend: life is so short, why lose it thus?"
19199HAVE WOMEN NO FRIENDSHIPS?
19199Have we not seen women to whom death seems an indignity-- looking, in every feature and glance, as immortal as Pallas Athene?
19199Have your successes in London made you forget your friends in Paris?"
19199He asks,"What can be sweeter than to be so dear to your wife that it makes you dearer to yourself?"
19199He rose with the palm of victory out of this terrible struggle of nature and politeness; but who can tell at what a cost?"
19199How canst thou betray such devotion?
19199Is Jacobi, the German Plato, so stupid a metaphysician and so low a moralist that you can so easily teach him acumen and ethics?
19199Is it a new attachment which begins where an old one ends?
19199Is it a sound view?
19199Is it a state where each is content with the personal fruition of his own powers, in harmony with the same enjoyment by all others?
19199Is it a state where there is a universal contention for notice, power, and honor?
19199Is it her sole sphere, or is she also called to enter the other sphere?
19199Is it not as truly the peculiar mission of man to be a husband and father?
19199Is it not liable to go too far, and to work fatal mischiefs?
19199Is it not too well established in the authority of the most cultivated souls, to be so easily shaken?
19199Is it not, then, a sound claim which demands for women a full initiation into all the noble realms and interests of humanity?
19199Is not such a book especially needed at he present time?
19199Is one wise, aspiring, magnanimous?
19199Is there not a Fulvia, who takes the head of the murdered Cicero in her hands, and tears his dumb tongue with her bodkin?
19199Is there not a Volumnia, as chaste as that star seen in winter dawns shivering on the cold forehead of the morning?
19199Many persons forget that the highest question is, what ought to be?
19199My beloved one, can it be, shall we never see each other again on earth?"
19199My dear Charles, will you not reward me by being all that my wishes and my prayers would fain make you?
19199My friend, this moment I receive your letter: how can I thank you?
19199Now, is it not true that the intenser need naturally implies the keener search and the more copious finding?
19199Of what use is memory, if it does not perpetuate the beautiful and good?"
19199Safe in thy immortality, What change can reach the wealth I hold?
19199Shall I venture to depict the sad decay which love naturally suffers, and the redemptive transformation which it sometimes undergoes?
19199Shall the pulpit, the academic chair, the high court of the finer literature, alone be dumb?
19199TABLE OF CONTENTS INTRODUCTION HAVE WOMEN NO FRIENDSHIPS?
19199The next morning, at prayers in the Mosque, Mohammed said,"Hast thou slain the daughter of Marwan?"
19199The question is not, What do women desire?
19199Wake up the countless dead; ask every ghost, Whose influence tortured or consoled the most?
19199Was he not one of the charmers, who are so much to others, but to whom others are in return comparatively so little?
19199Was it not natural, that they should, in the humorous phrase of Ballanche,"gravitate towards the centre of the Abbaye- aux- Bois"?
19199Well, in the name of God, to love, is it not to love?
19199What chance can mar the pearl and gold Thy love hath left in trust with me?
19199What element of romance or tragedy ever known, is not every day experienced, all about us, under the thin disguise of commonplace?
19199What has happened?
19199What is right and best for them?
19199What is the ideal of perfect society?
19199What presence hallows the place?
19199What profit could he draw from the reverence of those who would have ceased to understand him, had he shown himself as he was in truth?

19199What would be the effect of female voting?
19199What would human society be without them?
19199What, then, is the will of God, so indicated?
19199When shall I see you again?
19199Where are the circles in which conversation is carried on as the loftiest and richest of the social arts?
19199Where are the famous talkers now?
19199Where do you find an exterior of politeness covering an interior of indifference or guile?
19199Who is this, shameless mixture of beast and fiend, with body of fire, heart of marble, brow of bronze, and hand hollowed to hold money?
19199Who so fills the air about him as to seem just ready to break into palpable vision wherever he turns?
19199Who up the lofty diapason roll Such sweet, such sad, such solemn airs divine, And let them down again into the soul?
19199Why is it less womanly to prescribe as a physician than to tend as a nurse?
19199Why so?
19199a beautiful show of nobleness and happiness, with a haggard reality of weariness and woe underneath?
19199a flaming demonstrativeness in front of a soul of ice?
19199and not, What has been or is?
19199but, What ought they to desire?
19199do you miss us?
19199do you think, then, that all the infinitely complicated minglings and windings of human feeling are so lucid and simple?
19199is all forgot?
19199looking from some heavenly hill, Or from the shade of saintly palms, Or silver reach of river calms, Do those large eyes behold me still?
19199or is it a fallacy and a superstition?
19199or is it a mixture of truth and error?
19199or is it a prejudice, owing to the ideal of feminine character and life, which they have been educated to admire?
19199remembering thee, Am I not richer than of old?
19199the other, foolish, vulgar, revengeful?
19199to find that this marriage, which I hoped would keep us so much together, leaves us more asunder than ever?
19199under conditions of unpretending simplicity, an experience ever fresh and serene, full of joy and dignity, and endlessly progressive?
19199what hand can touch the strings so fine?
19199when shall I see you again?"
32356But will you also divide your mother?
32356Can I avoid,he exclaimed to Livia,"treating this woman with harshness, when she accuses me to my face of seeking to poison her?"
32356Had he objections to her person or her ancestry? 32356 PORTIA.--I prithee, boy, run to the senate- house; Stay not to answer me, but get thee gone: Why dost thou stay?
32356Tell me,said the great emperor,"have I played well my part?"
32356What can you see from up there?
32356What think you she is praying for so intently?
32356Why did he delay to marry her?
32356Why does not Nero,the tyrant asks of himself,"banishing all fear, set about expediting his marriage with Poppæa?
32356Why, then, are you emperor?
32356With whom do you live?
32356Yes,answered the philosopher;"but what have you done that you should be condemned to witness such an exhibition?"
32356You ask,says Juvenal,"whence arise our disorders?
32356''How can I listen to you,''she said to her,''who have seen your husband killed in your arms, and who are still alive?''
32356''Is it your wish, then,''he said to her,''if I should be compelled to die, that your daughter should die with me?''
32356A connection?
32356And if he had not, why did he take her again?
32356And so return to you, and nothing else?
32356And when the wife tremblingly inquires:"But had he died in the business, madam-- what then?"
32356And, in truth, if he can come forth from the dead, he will deal with her thus; he will say:''Woman, what have you to do with Coelius?
32356Are your blandishments more seducing in public than in private, and with other women''s husbands than your own?
32356As to the time and manner of Portia''s death, the ancient writers are not fully agreed?
32356But have we raised soldiers against you, or sought after your offices?
32356But was she worthy to be the custodian of her husband''s secrets?
32356CASSIUS.--Ha!--Portia?
32356CASSIUS.--How''scap''d I killing, when I cross''d you so?
32356Can you submit to be the slave of any woman, while so many halters are to be had?
32356Could not each have made the same request to her husband at home?.
32356CÆSAR.-- What can be avoided, Whose end is purpos''d by the mighty gods?
32356Cæsar, upon this, reproached Cato with covetousness;"for,"he said,"if he had need of a wife, why did he part with her?
32356Did he doubt the sincerity of her affection?
32356Did not Augustus dedicate a public library in the name of his sister Octavia?
32356Did they visit each other and engage in the discussion of those topics which were then current in the atriums and gardens of Rome?
32356Do these women represent the four towns of the vicinity, or are they the symbol of all the cities of Italy which had profited by the same benefaction?
32356Do they impeach him for mismanagement of his province?
32356Do we dispute the power for which you are fighting?
32356During those fierce political disturbances and bloody revolutions, how did woman fare?
32356For since Tiberius was not spared, what trust can we place either in the laws or in the gods?"
32356For what will they not attempt, if they now come off victorious?
32356For, what are they doing at this moment in your streets and lanes?
32356Has length of life and a hapless old age reserved me for this-- to behold you an exile and an enemy?...
32356How did those centuries of varying civic fortune affect the status of the women?
32356How hard it is for women to keep counsel!-- Art thou here yet?
32356How then are we to account for this monotonous orgy of libidinosity?
32356Into what place can you lead him where the monuments of his glory do not protest against the horror of his punishment?"
32356Is there one of them who is inclined to be stout?
32356It was asked of old:"Can a clean thing come out of an unclean?"
32356It was but a phantom of liberty, truly; but when has the world really seen more?
32356LUCIUS.--Madam, what should I do?
32356Nero was part actor, part clown, wholly debased; what could be expected from the associates of such a man, or from the people who tolerated him?
32356O insupportable and touching loss!--Upon what sickness?
32356Or was he dissatisfied because she had given proof of her fertility?
32356Run to the Capitol, and nothing else?
32356Say, what Tisiphone, what snakes, are driving you mad?
32356Shall our children wear gowns bordered with the same color, and shall we interdict the use of it to women alone?
32356Shall we men have the use of the purple?
32356Shall your horse, even, be more splendidly caparisoned than your wife is clothed?"
32356Suppose, then, that he speaks to you in this way:''What are you making this disturbance about, my sister?
32356Then he asked abruptly:"Julia, which would you rather be-- gray or bald?"
32356Think you to walk forth?
32356This would hurt the feelings even of men, and what do you think must be its effect on weak women, whom even trifles can disturb?
32356Thus has the great dramatist, in a manner which it would be folly to imitate or replace, depicted the scene:"CALPURNIA.--What mean you, Cæsar?
32356To whom else should Trajan leave the Empire?
32356Valerius is made to say:"Shall our wives alone reap none of the fruits of the public peace and tranquillity?
32356Was he a friend of your husband?
32356Was he a relation?
32356Was it for this I made the Appian Way, that you should travel along it escorted by other men besides your husband?''"
32356Was it for this that I broke the treaty which was concluded with Pyrrhus, that you should every day make new treaties of most disgraceful love?
32356Were my gray hairs reserved for such intolerable disgrace?
32356Were they friends, these two ladies, as their husbands were supposed to be?
32356What avail me those brazen sistra of hers so often shaken by your hand?
32356What but arguing, some in support of the motion of the plebeian tribunes, others for the repeal of the law?
32356What did I not?
32356What have you remaining of her, of her who breathed loves and ravished me from myself?
32356What is the verdict?
32356What modesty can a woman show that wears a helmet, eschews her sex, and delights in feats of strength?"
32356What more touching expression of family affection can there be found than the words Tacitus wrote in respect to Agricola''s death?
32356What was the attribute that captivated her?
32356What was the reason, then, except some folly?
32356When the dress of all is alike, why should any one of you fear lest she should not be an object of observation?
32356Whence do we obtain our picture of the Rome of those times?
32356Where was she when I by my counsels obtained the adoption of her nephew and my son into the Claudian house?
32356Which shall we call the worse, their love making or your compassion?
32356Whither is your beauty gone?
32356Whither your graceful deportment?
32356Who are the witnesses against her?
32356Who were they?
32356Why are you so mad?
32356Why do I not make a figure, distinguished with gold and purple?
32356Why do you annoy this one man who scorns you?''"
32356Why have you been so intimate with him as to lend him gold, or so much an enemy as to fear his poison?
32356Why was it that the women of this period indulged to such an unnatural and unrestrained degree the grosser appetites?
32356Yet she could not ask:"Is Cæsar yet gone to the Capitol?"
32356Yet what reward have I?
32356or whither your bloom?
32356so long as high and dizzy windows are accessible, and the Æmilian bridge presents itself so near at hand?"
32356to thee?"
32356what noise is that?
20830How can that sum be spent most efficiently?
20830Is it my duty to go swimming, play tennis, go yachting, and have a good time?
20830Now that you have won the fair lady how are you going to support her?
20830Ought I to marry?
20830We love each other devotedly; why should we wait for a mere license and a public ceremony?
20830Where did I come from, Mother?
20830Which would you rather do, go roller- skating or play''father and mother?''
20830Why do you work?
20830Why does n''t his wife tell him of that unpleasant mannerism, so he can correct it?
20830Would n''t it be cheaper to do it yourself?
20830After the question,"Can you afford it?"
20830Always it is the unturned page the holds the answer to the question,"How goes it with this marriage?"
20830And wo n''t they start experimenting?
20830Are they ready physically, psychologically, economically?
20830Are you after comfort, security, affection for yourself?
20830Are you-- the girl-- capable of growth?
20830At present, however, the answer to"Is it my duty to marry?"
20830At what age do you begin explaining life to children?
20830But why ask such a silly question?
20830But will there be any later children?
20830Can he, or she,"take it"?
20830Can you, harassed by household tasks, keep up with your husband as he develops in the world of men?
20830Children?
20830Dare we depend on her ability and willingness to grow quickly into the person she would have been training to become?
20830Do you remember that passage in Guy de Maupassant where the husband said just that to his wife?
20830Does he, or she, wear well?
20830Does telling lead to trying out things with each other?
20830Does this mean that you no longer love your mate as you did?
20830Does this seem an idle theory?
20830Does what has just been said about the period before pregnancy apply to the father as well as the mother?

20830Even in our civilization what right has anyone to doom his partner to a childless marriage?
20830First,"Have I a right to marry?"
20830First,"Have I a right to marry?"
20830For example, do n''t buy without asking yourself in each instance:"Do I need this?"
20830Have you the spirit of play and the ability to enjoy things together?
20830How can I learn when it is safe to trust my own strong emotions?
20830How do they get in their mothers in the first place?"
20830How do you keep them from talking to others?
20830How free is each partner to be?
20830How long is it since you prayed?"
20830How many parents will there be in each group at the end of three generations?
20830How much do you explain their own growing- up changes?
20830How much do you tell?
20830How shall we get along on the family income?
20830How soon is the first child wanted?
20830How, then, can you hope to keep your affection from disappearing altogether if it has already begun to wane?
20830How, when, and why?
20830I can hear you ask,"Why do you say,''adjusting yourself to a stranger''s personality''?"
20830I said to a man of sixty,"Can anything be more tragic than that?"
20830If one expresses regret for the lost faith of childhood, it is proper to ask:"How long is it since you read the Gospels?
20830If you are fit, the next question is,"Is it wise for me to marry?"
20830Is the object of one''s wishes as desirable as one had expected?
20830Lovers generally feel sure that they can do this, but have you proved it in your treatment of parents, brothers, sisters, and friends?
20830Must she ask her husband for money for each household expense, or will she have an allowance on which to run the home?
20830My little boy has a bad habit-- how deal with it?
20830My little girl does n''t ask questions-- how make her healthily curious?
20830Now for the third question,"Is it my duty to marry?"
20830Now for the three questions which are implied when you ask,"Ought I to marry?"
20830Now that we have done the arithmetic, what does it mean?
20830Ought I to marry?
20830Perhaps in the future the main question will be,"Am I fit to be married?"
20830Second,"Is it wise for me to marry?"
20830Shall Mary be permitted to have that Jones boy come to the house?
20830Should the girl hold her job after she marries?
20830Sure enough, how does he?
20830The answer is determined by two factors:"How much money is earned?"
20830The other two are"What is my main purpose in life?"
20830The question is,"Does he or she have the character- vitality to develop emotional maturity?"
20830The question should really be phrased in this way: Are you able to carry on two full- time jobs?
20830Then they need desperately to know,"What is the case for monogamy?"
20830They are old questions, but"Ought I to marry?"
20830They start with a concrete situation--"Where did Mrs. Holmes get her baby?"
20830Third,"Is it my duty to marry?"
20830This usually involves finances--"How soon can we afford it?"
20830To many modern engaged couples the most disturbing question is,"Shall we wait until marriage for physical union?"
20830We are all working for a better world, but are we working hard enough?
20830Well, then, from what part of this middle group will most of the children of the future be derived?
20830Well, where did Mrs. Holmes get her baby?
20830What are his deepest aspirations and longings?
20830What are his unrealized possibilities?
20830What are the main drives that determine his ways of acting?
20830What are the parts of the marriage experience that bring out this disposition of wanting to run away in order to try again?
20830What are the things that have most thwarted him and kept him from achieving what he has hoped to do?
20830What are you planning to do about it?
20830What do you intend to do about it?"
20830What do you really want from your mate and your children?
20830What does one expect?
20830What have been his great emotional experiences in life?
20830What is love?
20830What makes a successful marriage?
20830What opportunity is the girl to have to be herself, have her own interests and friends and money?
20830What religious training shall we give the children?
20830Where shall we move?
20830Where to live after the wedding?
20830Why do small boys and girls know algebra and why in later years do they not know it?
20830Why should any one else care what we do?
20830Why should outsiders feel that they have a right to tell us''do''or''do n''t''?"
20830Will he, or she, grow with you-- in mind and in character?
20830Will he, or she, put father or mother ahead of wife or husband?
20830Will it be good for him or her to marry_ you?_ The next somebodies are the children whom you and your mate may have.
20830Will the children talk?
20830You and"he,"or you and"she,"are certainly the ones most immediately concerned in the question"Ought I to marry?"
20830You do not know their names or where they are; but is n''t it exciting to think that you are every moment drawing nearer to each other?
20830You remember how suddenly Marguerite turned to Faust and asked him point- blank,"Do you believe in God?"
20830Your children''s children, too, will have a right to bless you or curse you, according to your way of answering the question,"Ought I to marry?"

20830and"What is to be my occupation?"
20830and"Will it fit in with other things I now have, or will it require further buying?"
10482Our children,they will say,"do not, at present,_ relish_ the kind of bread you speak of; and how shall we bring them to do so?
10482What child,they will ask,"would ever have any strength, brought up so?"
10482What would people say to see my darling without a cap?
10482Who shall decide, when doctors disagree?
10482And after all this is done, who can eat them without the addition of sauce, or butter, or molasses, or cream?
10482And did they always do it?
10482And even the young plant-- what think you would be the effect, if its leaves and branches could not move gently with the soft breezes?
10482And how can they afford to have a separate dress for the night?
10482And if the pressure be strong, as it sometimes is, must they not dwindle away?
10482And what better than this do WE, now?
10482And what else could be expected as the result?
10482And what is to be expected as the result?
10482And what was done when they were thus heated?
10482And when can it be better done than in the earliest infancy?
10482And would they receive no injury in passing from this state of perspiration to that of chill?
10482And yet what do we too often witness in life?
10482And_ could_ such persons be found, how many of them would bring up their children to live on such plain dishes?
10482Are good, ripe fruits difficult of digestion?
10482Are not their chests smaller and weaker?
10482Are they not oftener short- breathed than formerly?
10482Are they not required to breakfast, and dine, and sup elsewhere, if possible, that they may be out of the way?
10482As they advance in life, have they not more chronic diseases?
10482Besides, in what does this smell consist?
10482Besides, they may be sick; and then the child must rely on others; and will it not be useful to accustom it early to do so?
10482But how?
10482But if so, and their children have no other source of dependence, must they not suffer?
10482But if so, who can do it better than the mother?
10482But if you fasten them to a post in front, of what value are the hinges?
10482But is this the fact?
10482But what can be more painful than to see the little sufferers carried along when their limbs are purple, or benumbed with cold?
10482But what is an early hour?
10482But what is the nature of the amusement which adults-- nay, mankind generally-- require?
10482But would not this have the effect to bar the door perpetually against all human improvement?
10482Can we make anything else of it, either more or less?
10482Cooking the apple?
10482Did they sleep in a cold or warm room?
10482Did you treat him precisely as you did the others?
10482Do not some mothers even dose their infants with stupifying medicines to lull them to sleep, in order to have them out of the way?
10482Do the silex, the alumine, and the other earths, with their compounds, emit any odor?
10482Do their countenances indicate that they enjoy as good health as they did when dress was worn more loosely?
10482Do we find a corresponding change in the internal structure?
10482Do we not send them to school, even the Sabbath school, to get them out of the way?
10482Do you believe, madam, they were kept at a proper degree of warmth by these means?
10482Does cold water harden?
10482Does the addition of such a small quantity of spirit as is generally used in these cases, materially alter the temperature?
10482For whom, I repeat it, was incurred the enormous expense of fitting up and keeping in repair accommodations for bathing at once 18,000 people?
10482Have they not oftener a leaden hue, as if the blood in them was darker?
10482How can the mother''s blood be constantly irritated with improper food and drink, without rendering the milk so?
10482How can they change their clothes every day?
10482How is this?
10482How much more painful to the tender organs of the new- born infant must be the change to which it is so frequently subjected?
10482How often is one hand injured by an accident, or rendered nearly useless by disease?
10482How, indeed, can it be other wise?
10482If parents and other friends lie in bed late themselves, can anything else be, expected of children?
10482If_ one_ must be fed, why not our own, as well as that of another?
10482Is it dangerous to go with the head always bare?
10482Is it not better, therefore, that they should be early accustomed to other food, for a part of the time?
10482Is it not the application of a cold liquid to a heated surface, still?
10482Is it not then important-- for these and many more reasons-- to teach a child to use with nearly equal readiness, both of his hands?
10482Is it not very evident that when a child rids its stomach of its contents several times a day, it has been overloaded?
10482Is not every effort made to induce the young to lie in bed late that they may be out of the way?
10482Is not the contrary true?
10482Is sugar injurious?
10482Is there one who will not be aided by understanding not only that a certain thing or course is better than another, but also WHY it is so?
10482Must there not be latent evil to counterbalance some of the seeming good?
10482Must they not be weakened?
10482Now if it be the intention of divine Providence( and who will doubt that it is?)
10482Now what is this but paste?
10482Ought they not to go abroad, at least occasionally?
10482Shall the windows and doors where a child sleeps, be kept closed; or shall they be suffered to remain open a part or the whole of the night?
10482The Roman emperors-- Dioclesian in particular-- could make provision for bathing, to an extent which now astonishes us; but for whom?
10482The appropriate question now is, How shall such a supply be furnished?
10482The best pudding in the world is a loaf of bread,( What!--you will say-- bread again?)
10482The question is now fairly before us-- Is such a result desirable?
10482There is a prejudice abroad, to some extent, against agitating the questions--"What shall we eat?
10482Well, madam, how did you carry your second plan into execution, which you say was attended with such happy results?
10482Were the constitutions of your children pretty much the same?
10482What adult would be willing to sit in so painful a posture, with his legs dangling?
10482What can be a more pitiable sight than some modern girls going home from school or church in winter?
10482What else could be expected but that the seeds of disease, thus early sown, should in due time spring up, and produce their appropriate fruits?
10482What if it should not, in every case, proceed quite so far as to make the child a drunkard?
10482What is an early hour?
10482What is an early hour?
10482What shall we drink?
10482When is the time which would be devoted to it worth less than at this period?
10482When was there a lamb, a bird, or a tree, that died because it was young?
10482When will parents be willing to take lessons in education from that brute world which they have been so long accustomed to overlook or despise?
10482Where, I again ask, is the person who will eat and relish plain bread, plain meat, plain puddings,& c.?
10482Who can be so hardened as to confine him, unless compelled by the most pressing necessity?
10482Who has not observed the difference in this respect, between animals in general which feed on flesh, and those which feed on grass?

41736But how is he to say so?
41736But what does her loneliness mean?
41736But what of that?
41736Does he, to avoid these stumbling- blocks, wander into the deeper mysteries and discourse on things which no man can either explain or understand?

41736How will men take it all?
41736If even death itself is only a transmutation of forces-- an active and energizing change-- what can we say of this worse than mental death?

41736Whose property is she?
41736With the frankest or the shallowest there are depths never sounded; what shall we say, then, of those who have real profundity of character?
41736and are you sure you have enough?
41736and are you_ sure_ you saw the portmanteau safe?
41736and does not the quality of gushingness include an Arcadian belief in the virtue of all the world?
41736and have you the keys?

28458Are you more earnest in pursuit of the girl who courts approaches, or the girl who holds you at bay?
28458But what is a girl to do?
28458Is that so?
28458Well,you ask"how shall I know if I am hindering my breathing?
28458Well,you may say,"if that is so, what does it matter, then, what I do?
28458A friend, noticing his interest, said to him,"What an elegant figure she has, has n''t she?"
28458After all, is it not life that we should value?
28458And I said,"Is muscular development the primary object of physical education?"

28458And is it not better to have pure night air from out of doors than the impure night air of a close room?
28458And now we ask, How shall we know when we are in a correct attitude?
28458And what is a due amount?

28458As you are promised to each other for life, are you not warranted in assuming towards each other greater personal familiarity?
28458But how are young people to get really acquainted?
28458But how can the oxygen get to the cells in all parts of the body?
28458But how is a girl to know all these things concerning her lover''s ideas, thoughts, principles, and purposes?

28458Does it not seem unfortunate that we should allow ourselves even to form such wrong habits of sitting and standing?
28458From what cause?
28458Has he true ideas of the dignity of life and his own responsibility?
28458Has she good common sense?
28458Have you ever thought that to accuse one of a certain wrong act may be just the way to suggest to him the possibility of committing it?
28458Have you just reason to suppose that he will make a fair success of life?
28458Have you thought how your temper may often be tried?
28458How can it be?
28458How can love spring up in a minute?

28458I asked,"Where did you get your hair?"
28458I do not ask that he shall have inherited wealth, for that often proves a young man''s ruin, but does he come of an honest, industrious family?

28458I lately received a letter from a young woman who asks,"How freely do you think two engaged young people may talk concerning their future life?
28458If disobedience or sin can not make me less God''s child, why should I be good and obedient?"
28458If in later years you should hear him complain that he had nothing to work with, would you feel like pitying him?
28458If this is so important, how shall we care for the skin?
28458In the light of these thoughts I would like to have you ask yourself this question every day, How much am I worth?
28458Is creative power limited to reproduction of kind?
28458Is he a believer in the godliness of cleanliness?
28458Is he looking for an"easy job,"or does he purpose to give a fair equivalent for all that he receives?
28458Is his father shiftless, lazy, improvident?

28458Is not this but the essence of selfishness?
28458Is she in truth more honorable than the outcast woman?

28458Is there any way that I can prove whether my dress is tight or not?"
28458Is your system oppressed with a superabundance of sweets?
28458It was only fun; what harm could there be in that?
28458May you not now throw aside much of the restrictions that have surrounded your association and manifest your affection in reciprocal demonstrations?
28458May you not with perfect modesty allow endearments and caresses that hitherto have not been permissible?
28458Now can you begin to see how much you are worth?
28458Of what is it made?
28458That being true, why not adopt the sensible fashion of riding on both sides of the horse at once, as men do?
28458The Creator under obligations to the created?"
28458The next morning the Countess asked, with a strange air of incredulity,"Were you in earnest when you spoke about opening the window?
28458The question"How much are you worth?"
28458WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?
28458WHAT ARE YOU WORTH?
28458Was it not love of self, rather than of me?
28458Was there in it no uncovered vessel, no old shoes in the closet, no soiled underclothing, nothing that could contaminate the atmosphere?
28458Was there opportunity for fresh air to enter your room?
28458What ancestral diseases or defects may he transmit to his posterity, which will be your posterity if he becomes your husband?
28458What are his defects of temper, or his weaknesses of body?
28458What are his ideas as to his responsibility in the founding of a home?
28458What are his talents, capacities, habits, inherited tendencies?
28458What can you decide in regard to this individual young man to whom you think you have given your heart?
28458What diviner, more responsible gift could God have conferred upon us than this?
28458What does that mean?
28458What has caused this sagging of the abdominal viscera?
28458What is he in himself?
28458What is he in himself?
28458What is he in his inheritance?
28458What is his estimate of woman?
28458What is love?
28458What is love?
28458What is the obvious inference?
28458What is their worth?
28458What life- process is accomplished by breathing?
28458What made such a mere child imagine a beau to be an essential agent of a girl''s life?
28458What more worthy of our devout study?
28458What shall you do to overcome and to gain control of yourself?
28458What value does he put upon the wife''s labor in the conducting of the household?
28458What wonder if their thoughts go further than her public declaration, and that they may freely surmise the charms that still remain hidden?
28458What would it do for us?
28458When I disclosed this fact to her she exclaimed, with sadness,"Oh, why was I not made like other girls?
28458Who has not seen men devoted to wives who were homely or peculiar, but who were genuinely pure and true?
28458Who is he?
28458Who is his father, his mother?
28458Who is this young man?
28458Why do we eat?
28458Why should He be so unkind?"
28458Why should not the bond between mother and sister be indissoluble?
28458Why should there not be the sweetest intimacy between two sisters, whose lives and interests are so closely united?
28458Why, how do you get along without one?"
28458Will it fasten without pressing out a bit of air from the lungs?
28458Will you be a studious, courageous scholar and try to learn life''s lessons well?
28458With this thought in your mind, can you answer the question, How much are you worth?
28458Would he rather toil at honest manual labor than be supported by a rich father- in- law?
28458Would it not be indelicate for them to discuss their future relations, the possibility and responsibilities of parenthood, etc.?"
28458You ask, Can not a young man and a young woman be real, true friends?
28458You may ask, Are all of these conditions a matter of heredity?
28458you say;"God the Infinite under obligations to man, the finite?
42136All right, are you? 42136 Brazen, ai n''t they?"
42136Chronic, ai n''t it?
42136Could you oblige Mr. Bunting with change, please, miss?
42136Do n''t look as though she''d been fed on skilly, do she?
42136Do n''t you remember Monsieur Bergeret? 42136 Do you mean to say he is a Suffragette by birth, too?"
42136Do you think the people we know would ever recognize us in these things?
42136Eh what?
42136Eh, what? 42136 Forgettin''your manners, ai n''t you?"
42136Have you anything to say?
42136Have you seriously studied its front elevation? 42136 Have you?
42136Having got rid of Napoleon,I said soothingly,"why do we not talk as though we had?
42136How does a man find time to vote, if he has a wife and six children to support?
42136I always have said that women who paid rates and taxes-- I beg your pardon? 42136 I think I heard you say you''d never been to a meeting before, did n''t I?"
42136I wonder why it is?
42136I''ve been to prison myself,she said, by way of breaking the ice;"what can you have done at your age to get there?"
42136If you had your vote taken from you to- morrow, would n''t you have the pluck to go to prison to get it back?
42136Is n''t it terrible to see women going on like this?
42136Is n''t it tragic?
42136Is n''t that rather a mistake?
42136Is not this a terrible condescension on your part?
42136Is that why there are so many men wearing little buttons?
42136It''s a''ard life, ai n''t it?
42136Jack, are you there? 42136 Lookin''for a friend of yours, p''raps?"
42136My dear, can you find my ear- trumpet? 42136 Not so bad as we expected, is it?"
42136Oh, I quite believe in your cause, but why do this sort of thing? 42136 Press, did you say, madam?
42136Really?
42136She''s been to''Olloway; can she have a vote?
42136That''s Greek mythology, is n''t it? 42136 The eternal feminine, eh?"
42136Then why does she talk as if we were all mountebanks?
42136There''s a sort of barbaric splendour about that, is n''t there?
42136They do n''t look like doing it to- night, do they?
42136Well, what are you waiting for?
42136Well, why not?
42136Were you, now?
42136What are they doin''it for? 42136 What can we do for you, and what made you come to us?"
42136What do they mean, blocking up the King''s''Ighway, undreds and undreds of''em?
42136What''s it all about?
42136Where did you git that from?
42136Who said that?
42136Who? 42136 Why do n''t they stay at''ome and mind the baby?
42136Why do they never have earthquakes except in countries where people do n''t want them?
42136Why do we have them? 42136 Why should n''t Mrs. Pank''urst''ave a vote, same as you an''me?
42136Why, they go to prison because they like it, do n''t they?
42136Yes; nice and quiet, was n''t it?
42136You wouldna think as I did n''t never want to have a girl when I had this one, would ye, miss?
42136Ai n''t she got as much sense in her''ead as what_ I_''ave?"
42136Ai n''t that jest like a woman?"
42136And be taken for gaol- birds too?
42136And, of course, there was the messenger- boy who stood just out of reach and yelled--"Want yer rights?
42136As long as she had broken something-- do_ you_ speak, by the way?
42136But for a woman it''s work, work, work, from her wedding- day till her funeral, and how can she find time for such nonsense?
42136By the way, you''ll wear your most feminine frock, wo n''t you?
42136Can I promise them that you will speak about picking oakum and doing the treadmill?
42136Did she, realising that the last speaker had overstepped the limits of good taste, feel incapable of dealing with the situation?
42136Did you see that woman''s hair, and the way her hat was bashed in, and the mud on her nose?
42136Dissension in the Home 123 Rebel Women I The Women at the Gate"Funny, is n''t it?"
42136Do you remember, in''Agamemnon''--have you read''Agamemnon''?"
42136Do you think,"she added irrelevantly,"that there was ever a time when my grandmother called my mother new- fangled?"
42136How about Holloway?"
42136However did you come to be mistaken for one of those screaming----?"
42136I am so anxious to avoid causing dissension in the home; I think that would be_ wrong_, do n''t you?
42136I would n''t let my cat be treated as they treated her, all for nothing----""Nothing, do you call it?

42136If you were let out on bail the previous evening, you''re under remand; but you''re not a prisoner yet, or you would n''t be out here, would you now?
42136It''s a pity there were not a few more Antis concealed about the house while I was at the ear- trumpet, is n''t it?"
42136My husband is so very much opposed; I like to do all I can in a_ quiet_ way to show him that the Suffragettes are_ not_ all-- can''t you really?
42136Oh, do n''t they?
42136Pity we''ve both missed it for eleven years, is n''t it?"
42136Pressing to get in, I should call it, would n''t you?
42136That one next my wife?
42136The Chair?
42136The other lady is your mother?
42136Think?
42136We have banished all that in favour of-- ah, Penelope, my dear, run and ask Sarah for one of my new cleaning- cloths, will you?"
42136Well, they must be the very best you have; people get so easily bored, do n''t they?
42136What are they doin''it for?"
42136What did I say?"
42136What should I have to do?
42136What''s the country coming to?"
42136Which of you will come with me?"
42136Why did n''t they tear_ them_ to pieces?
42136Why do n''t they cook the old man''s dinner?
42136Why do n''t they----?"
42136Why was n''t it fair?
42136You know that kind of cupboard, do n''t you?
42136You were there, perhaps?"
42136You''ll come and dine first, wo n''t you?
42136Your voice is hardly strong enough, perhaps?"
19924And now tell me, friend of mine, did you not recognize an old acquaintance in the lady we have been watching so closely? 19924 Oh, my dear, we shall get along very well, I am sure; you love me, do n''t you?"
19924Well, wife, what are we going to do? 19924 What shall I do with him?

19924A shiftless spendthrift must choose for a helpmeet(?)
19924According to this rule, a man or woman of large combativeness should select a partner equally inclined to antagonism; then we should have-- what?
19924After having duly considered the causes and effects of this terrible evil, the question next in order for consideration is, How shall it be cured?
19924And what would be the progeny of such unions?
19924And, if it serves a wise and good purpose with them, why should an opposite course not serve an unwise and bad purpose with us?
19924Are its feeble first strugglings any evidence of its presence?
19924As a learned professor remarks, in speaking of woman,"Who has a right to regard her as a therapeutic agent?"
19924As one says,"What is more offensive than the breath of a costive child?"
19924Boys, are you guilty of this terrible sin?
19924Boys, are you guilty?
19924Boys, do you love what is noble, what is pure, what is grand, what is good?
19924Brutes and Savages More Considerate.--It is only the civilized, Christianized(?)
19924But if colds and great strain upon the parts in question develop such diseases, why are they not seen among the inferior animals?
19924But who has not felt the cruel power of these unseen foes?
19924Can the unwelcome fruit of a rape be considered, what every child has a right to be, a pledge of affection?
19924Can we find such influences?
19924Did you ever stop to think how idiots are made?
19924Difficulties.--Married people will exclaim,"What shall we do?"
19924Do you not remember it altogether?
19924Do you value life, health, beauty, honor, virtue, purity?
19924Does not he who is prodigal of himself precipitate his own ruin?
19924Does this fact afford any proof that those crimes are virtues instead of vices?
19924Has he a good situation, with prospects of being able to support his wife comfortably and provide for a family?"
19924Has it any appreciable quantity at birth?
19924Has it any valuable, useful quantity even when a year old?
19924Has the young lady been so educated as to be self- sustaining if necessary?
19924Has the young man a home or the wherewithal to obtain one?
19924Has the young man a trade?
19924Have not Christian women a duty here?
19924Have you ever once dared to commit this awful sin?
19924How does extravagance lead to unchastity?
19924How shall we live?"
19924How, then, is it possible for her thus to defile and destroy herself?
19924How, then, will he dare to defile himself in the presence of Him from whose all- seeing eye nothing is hid?
19924I have, it is true, met the complaint, but in what class of cases does it occur?
19924If he is unsuccessful in the conflict, is he alone to blame?
19924In this country,--a civilized, so- called Christian country, blessed with all the enlightenment of the nineteenth century, what do we see?
19924Is it a crime to strangle an infant at birth?
19924Is it a murderous act to destroy a half- formed human being in its mother''s womb?
19924Is it a sin to kill a child?
19924Is it immoral to take human life?
19924Is it not a fearful thing?
19924Is it possible that such boys can become good, useful, noble, trustworthy men?
19924Is not the thought appalling?
19924Is there not an unfair discrimination here?
19924Life Force.--To every thinking mind the question often recurs, What makes the fragrant flower so different from the dead soil from which it grows?
19924Look but at the progeny of such marriages; what is its value?
19924No one dare to approach her without consent before marriage; and why should man not be educated up to the point of doing the same after marriage?
19924Ought it not to be considered a crime against childhood and against the race to do otherwise?
19924Shall a woman be allowed more than one husband, as is actually the case in some countries?
19924Should not the seducer be blackened with an infamy at least as deep as that which society casts on the one betrayed?
19924So what do we oftenest observe?
19924Such will inquire,"Is there not some compromise by means of which we may escape the greater evils of our present mode of life?"
19924Ten years face to face with this poor idiot, whose imbecility was her direct work-- has it not punished her sufficiently?"
19924The ancients ate but two meals a day; why should moderns eat three or four?
19924The inquiry arises, What are the causes of so monstrous a vice?
19924The inquiry naturally arises, What shall be done under these circumstances?
19924Then, who can refuse assent to the plain truth that it is equally a murder to deprive of life the most recent product of the generative act?
19924This may be a truth hard to accept, but who is prepared to dispute it on logical or moral grounds?
19924What Makes Idiots.--Reader, have you ever seen an idiot?
19924What May Be Done?--But what is the practical conclusion to be drawn from all the foregoing?
19924What can she do?
19924What is it that is undermining the health of the race and sapping the constitutions of our American men?
19924What reason is there that the subject of the sexual functions should be treated with such maudlin secrecy?
19924What subtle power paints the rose, and tunes the merry songster''s voice?
19924What wonder that prostitution flourishes in spite of Christianity and civil law?
19924What_ should_ people do?
19924When children are raised upon such articles, or upon food with which they are thoroughly mingled, what wonder that they occasionally"turn out bad"?
19924When is the period that intelligence comes to the infant?
19924When, then, is it, that destruction is harmless or comparatively sinless?
19924Who can estimate the load of guilt that weighs upon some human souls?
19924Who can number the myriads of murders that have been perpetrated at this early period of existence?
19924Who will dare to answer"No,"to one of these questions?
19924Who will not respect the purity which must characterize sexual relations so governed?
19924Why does not Mr. Bergh exercise his function in such cases?
19924Why may she not claim protection from other maltreatment as well?
19924Why not two or half a dozen instead?
19924Why should it be considered an improper or immoral thing to limit the number of children according to the circumstances of the parents?
19924Why should so vile a crime as fornication be taken under legal protection more than stealing or the lowest forms of gambling?
19924Why should the function of generation be regarded as something low and beastly, unfit to be spoken of by decent people on decent occasions?
19924Would he dare commit such a sin in the presence of his father, his mother, or his sisters?
19924Young man, youth, have you taken the first step on this evil road?
19924a terrible vice?
19924and what will he do with me?"
19924and who knows how many brilliant lights have been thus early extinguished?
19924have you even once in this way yielded to the tempter''s voice?
19924how many promising human plantlets thus ruthlessly destroyed in the very act of germinating?

19924or pure?
19924or, at least, why may she not refuse to lend herself to beastly lust?

19924what_ may_ they do?
19924why did not some kind friend tell me of the harm I was doing myself?"
19560Can we talk only in generalities?
19560How can we find a test of a good, sound constitution?
19560How dare you not do it? 19560 Of these( 287),"he continues,"26 were in''Who''s Who in America?''
19560Social workers in New York city ask me sometimes,''How dare you put young men and women in camps so near to each other?'' 19560 ( 2) What does it now attempt to do? 19560 ( 3) What faults, from the eugenist''s standpoint, seem to exist in present genealogical methods? 19560 ( 4) What additions should be made to the present methods? 19560 ( 5) What can be expected of it, after it is revised in accordance with the ideas of the eugenist? 19560 APPLIED EUGENICS CHAPTER I NATURE OR NURTURE? 19560 And finally, what about the experience of livestock breeders? 19560 Are they not based on fundamental incompatibilities of racial temperament, which in turn are based on differences in heredity? 19560 Areconditions of turmoil, stress and adversity"strong forces in the production of great men, as has often been claimed?
19560But can any philosophy dispense with eugenics?
19560But how could this mark have been transmitted?
19560But what are these social differences, which it is the custom to dismiss in such a light- hearted way?
19560But what shall we say of the battle of Leipsic?
19560But, it may be objected, is not this change merely"the survival of the fittest?"
19560But, some one may protest, are we not shattering the very edifice of which we are professed defenders, in thus denying the force of heredity?
19560Can this be regarded as the inheritance of a long continued process of use and disuse?
19560Did a notch in the ear run through a pedigree?
19560Did he keep record of his bank balance in his head instead of on paper?
19560Did he revel in statistics?
19560Did not the best go in general; the misfits, the defectives, stay behind to propagate?
19560Did this change of the environment alter their inborn character?
19560Do we adopt the"better dead"gospel?
19560Do we leave them all to natural selection?
19560Do we then discourage all attempts to save the babies?
19560Does it ever find these favorable circumstances?
19560Does this prove that the myopia is rather due to heredity?
19560First, does sexual immorality increase or decrease the marriage rate of the offenders?
19560Has she not herself demonstrated it?
19560Has the parent cell then died?
19560Have they undergone a progressive physical degeneracy, as should be expected?
19560Here is equality in training; does it lead to uniform results?
19560How Do You Clasp Your Hands?
19560How are such sequences to be found in heredity, if they do not appear when a parent and his offspring are examined?
19560How can it get them?
19560How can one speak of a unit character, when the"unit"has an infinite number of values?
19560How is it, then, that training increases a man''s efficiency?
19560How were these cases of feeble- mindedness defined?
19560How, then, has it come to be such an integral part of socialism?
19560If a boy has a drunken father or foolish mother, does it not suggest that there is something wrong with his pedigree?
19560If it is proved in other animals, can it be considered wholly impossible in man?
19560If one is going to credit consanguineous marriage with these evil results, what can one say when evil results fail to follow?
19560If so, how?
19560If they exist, why do not ordinary brothers become as much alike as identical twins?
19560In order to test this possibility, one must inquire:( 1) What is genealogy?
19560In passing judgment on a proposed marriage, therefore, the vital question is not,"Are they related by blood?"
19560In what way different?
19560Is a_ continuous quantity_ a_ unit_?
19560Is is not perhaps a social adaptation with survival value?
19560Is it a matter of environment?--are open- air schools, sanitary tenements, proper hygiene, the kind of measures that will change this condition?
19560Is it desired to eliminate feeble- mindedness?
19560Is it necessary, then, to retain sexual immorality in order to achieve race progress?
19560Is it not a loss to Christians that they have so much less of this feeling than the Chinese?
19560Is it not fair, then, to assume that this relative''s greater endowment in the latter case is due to heredity?
19560Is it practicable to direct genealogy on this slightly different line?
19560Is the American stock more or less variable?
19560Is there any indirect method of reaching the same ends?
19560Is there, or is there not, a short cut to race betterment?
19560Is this characteristic inherited?
19560NATURE OR NURTURE?
19560Now what has become of the unit character, feeble- mindedness?
19560Now, given an abundant and accessible supply of alcohol to a race, what happens?
19560Of a group of men picked at random from the population, why will some eventually die of tuberculosis and the others resist infection?
19560Reason intervenes and asks,"Is this really the best thing for you to do now?
19560The answer to the first question,"What is genealogy?"
19560The bloody hand of natural selection may fall on crabs: but surely you would not have us think that Man, the Lord of Creation, shares the same fate?
19560The question naturally arises,"What is the cause of these differences?"
19560The question remains, will not bad housing cause a greater liability to fatal phthisis?
19560The tax on bachelors is proposed as a means of getting bachelors to marry; but is this always desirable?
19560The tendency is to ask, in regard to any measure,"What do the people want?"
19560Then the question logically arose,"Is not man himself subject to these same laws?
19560This may be very true; these conditions may follow after heredity in importance-- but how near do they follow?
19560To be encouraged or condemned?
19560To- day, how is it?
19560Waiving for the moment all question as to the relative quality of two distinct races, what results are to be expected from crossing?
19560Was a family reported as showing a taint, for instance, hereditary insanity?
19560Was he fond of mathematical puzzles?
19560Was mathematical ability hereditary?
19560Was the study of calculus a recreation to him?
19560What about Cape Cod, whose natives are known throughout New England for their ability?
19560What are the eugenic consequences of an unassimilated immigration?
19560What are the grounds, then, for forbidding the yellow races, or the races of British India, to enter the United States?
19560What bearing does this have on the theory of racial poisons?
19560What can be expected from a genealogy with eugenic foundation?
19560What can be learned of the time element?
19560What can the individual do?
19560What career shall one lay out for one''s children?"
19560What does the environmentalist_ know_ about these"plastic days"?
19560What evidence is there that the son in this case did not get it from an entirely different source?
19560What faults does the eugenist find with the socialist movement?
19560What is found in examination of the races that have used alcohol the longest?
19560What is he to do?
19560What is to be expected from the union of these diverse streams of descent?
19560What is to be said on the other side?
19560What is to happen when religion gives way?
19560What shall we say of the action of X. in remaining celibate,--is it wise or unwise?
19560When will educators learn that the education of the emotions is as important as that of the intellect?
19560Where is the evidence of the existence of these plastic days of childhood?
19560While the Negroes were thus undergoing the radical surgery of natural selection, what was happening to the aborigines of America?
19560Who are the emigrants?
19560Who can suggest any plausible explanation of their conduct, save that they inherited a certain temperament from their sire?
19560Why is it that results are so few?
19560Why is it that results are so rare?
19560Why is there such variation in the results produced by a unit character?
19560Why?
19560Will not destitution and its attendant conditions increase the probability that a given individual will succumb to the white plague?
19560Would the increasing prosperity and a higher standard of living here, tend to lower the relative birth- rate of the class or not?
19560Would you not better wait awhile and get a start in your business?
19560[ 102] What other physical standard is there that should be given weight?

19560he may well ask;"Does eugenics know no laws of heredity that will guide me in the choice of a wife?
19560while the question should be"What ought the people to want?"
30178And how old are you?
30178And what did you say?
30178But who, then, was that woman who was presented to me as his wife?
30178Do we love our husbands?
30178Do you think it will be a good thing for Fatimah?
30178Does He not love us, too, this gracious Master? 30178 Have we wandered in the dark for centuries, misled by blind leaders of the blind, and missing the good things offered us by the God of Ishmael?"
30178Have you any children?
30178How can she be your mother?
30178How can they hear without a preacher?
30178How old is she?
30178Is it a boy or a girl?
30178Master,I said, as from a dream awaking,"Is this the service Thou dost show to me?
30178She? 30178 WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO?"
30178What are we to do?
30178What else could be done?
30178When the learned ones ascribe such characteristics to women, is it any wonder that they have come to regard themselves as mere beasts of burden? 30178 Why did that man take another wife when he was happy and had children?"
30178Why do you do that when you are so happy as you are? 30178 Why do you take your wife out to walk with you?"
30178Why then judge so severely those who are all suffering under these troubles? 30178 Why?"
30178Would it not be better to eat together?
30178Yes,she said,"but never mind, was n''t Jesus beaten for me?"
30178--"What can be the matter with Kaleela?"
30178--"Where is Tantaweyah to- day?"
30178A father engaging his daughter was asked,"What does the girl think of it herself?"
30178ARE they the faces of a dead people?
30178And God heard the voice of the lad, and the angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and said unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar?
30178And down beyond these outward capacities, how about their spirit- nature?
30178And he wept aloud and cried out:"Wo n''t you pray for me?"
30178And men still find out even among Moslems:"What man on earth hath power or skill To stem the torrent of a woman''s will?
30178And their powers of feeling: do their faces look as if these have been crushed out by a life of servitude?
30178And what is the price of a goodly pearl?
30178And what is the price of a human soul?
30178And why should they not be, who always sit behind a curtain wrapped in a veil?
30178Are they lovable?
30178Are they pretty?
30178Are we to leave these, our sisters, alone to their fate?
30178Are you not responsible to God for a part in the evangelization of Arabia in this generation?
30178But what does he care as long as he_ is_ master and reigns supreme?
30178Can there be any real happiness for a Mohammedan woman?
30178Can we say as much for any other system of education or religion?
30178Could one blame her?
30178Do we act as if we believed it?
30178Do we believe that each heaven- sent prayer brings the cloud- burst nearer?
30178Do you like them?
30178Do you see no material for Christ if they had a chance of the Water of Life?
30178Do you wonder that we do not consider it an elevating creed?
30178Does the speaker think we are all blind, and deaf, and ignorant?
30178Does this little description stir your pity?
30178Doors, doors, but how can we enter them?
30178Dost Thou to me entrust Thy bread for breaking To those who cry for Thee?
30178Hath not God said:"Look unto Me, and be ye saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.... Unto Me every knee shall bow"?
30178Here they know the bitterness of being one of two or three wives, why then should they wish to be"one of seventy"?
30178His last and oft repeated words to his new- found Christian friends, as they rode away, were:"Wo n''t you continue to pray for me?"
30178How can she consent to see her given in a marriage to which her approval has not even been asked, or possibly where it has been refused?
30178How can women, brought up as she was, have healthy children?
30178How could they brave its publicity?
30178How do they bring up their children?
30178How do they keep their homes?
30178How for a single day this pathway trace, And feel no loving arm thrown round about me, No all- sustaining grace?
30178How long must I put up with these evil doings?''
30178How shall she escape the name which her own family perhaps give her--"a cow"?
30178I need you now, can you teach me how to die?
30178If thou sayest, Behold we knew not this, doth not He that weigheth the hearts consider it and He that keepeth thy soul, doth not He know it?
30178Is it right to marry her?"
30178Is it surprising that I almost accused my fellow- missionaries of misrepresenting the home life of the people?
30178Is it then strange that women believe in written prayers, fortune telling, and the_ istekhara_?
30178Many more, no doubt, feel all these things, but what can they do?
30178Once after the others had gone she caught hold of me, saying,"Do you think I walk all these miles, with my blind eyes, to learn nothing?
30178One difficulty haunted her, she was ignorant, could not even read, and her teachers told her Jesus was not the Son of God;--must they not know best?
30178One is led to ask, what is the cause of this dark cloud of evil which casts its terrible shadow over so many homes?
30178Perhaps she would come to her?
30178Perhaps you say,"Why does her husband not protect his wife from unkindness, does he not care for her?"
30178Poor they certainly are, but what of that when they have enough to eat such as it is and can spend their whole lives in sunshine and fresh air?
30178Said a mother,"Why should I not weep over my baby girl, who must endure the same sorrows I have known?
30178Shall we give ourselves to hasten it?
30178She said nothing-- what could she say?
30178Some one has asked:"What happens to the cast- off wives and divorced women among the Moslems?"
30178That one last cry of faith, somewhere, will set it free?
30178The old woman had worked the works of Satan over him, and how could he escape?
30178The wife asks,''What is this business in which you have been engaged?
30178The wives with tears streaming down their cheeks say,"How can his small wages support three or four wives?"
30178The woman knew that her end was near, but how could she die?
30178The work in the hands of those workers already in the field can scarcely allow any addition, and yet we PRAYED for these; and now who shall feed them?
30178The younger man replied with indignation,"Is she not a human being, and shall I not treat her as such?"
30178These few particulars showing the indifference and ignorance among the men, what can be expected of the women?
30178They worship the God who has Mohammed for his prophet and_ who is he_?
30178To suffer not only in this life but also in the life to come?
30178Was Jesus married?"
30178Was there no one to stretch out a helping hand?
30178We are shocked at the coarse questions:"Can God have a Son?
30178We know that mothers- in- law even in England have not always a good name, but what may they be to a young girl completely under their power?
30178What am I to do with them?
30178What are the women like?
30178What did I find?
30178What is he to do?
30178What is likely to be the future of that child?
30178What is the legal and social position of woman?
30178What must we do?
30178What of the moral and spiritual?
30178What of the poor temporary hired ones, who come for a longer or shorter period, and a specified wage?
30178What opportunity is there before the little mother but fourteen years old herself?
30178What uplifting or educating influences does the bare windowless abode( opening only to the central court of the home) exercise?
30178When I asked,"What will become of her when she is old and perhaps cast off again?"
30178When a child is born in a family the first question asked is,"Is it a boy or girl?"
30178Where are they now?
30178Where was she going?
30178Who could tell her?
30178Who will come to help to find them and to bring them in?
30178Who will go to teach them how to die and how to live?
30178Who would teach her to read?
30178Why so sad on this joyous occasion?"
30178Why then reproach the women?
30178Why, then, should they desire it?
30178Will not many Christian women give themselves to such work as this?
30178Will you come and put your hands on my head and bring down God''s blessing upon me?
30178Will you not ask yourselves, our brothers, can these things be?
30178Will you not pray for them?
30178Will you spend five minutes of your hours to- day in looking-- just looking-- at them, till they have sunk down into your heart?
30178XXV"WHAT WILT THOU HAVE ME TO DO?"
30178Yet one can hardly wonder at their condition, what chances have they had?
30178and shall not He render to every man according to his works?"
30178she said,"what_ has_ become of me?

26081Well, Amanda, what objections can you find to William Scott?
26081Well, suppose she does,said John Ramon,"is not William a good boy and a good companion for Estelle, or anybody else?"

26081What is the cause of ophthalmia neonatorum? 26081 What is the soul worth?"

26081And should not our example in the Orient and our conduct in our own country be more worthy of our national moral standards?
26081And the consequences?

26081But what can be better than conversions-- that make glad the heart of God?
26081But what must be the feelings of the father and mother who thoughtlessly leave their young daughters exposed to these serpents?
26081But why are the wild beasts who trade in girls immune from punishment at the hands of our city and state authorities?
26081Can you blame her?
26081Can you imagine any greater horror than that of this trusting child wife, when she realizes she is a prisoner and a slave in that den of shame?
26081Can you imagine anything more pitiful?
26081Could earth with all its multifarious efforts of Prevention and Rescue find no solution of this fearful problem?
26081Could nothing be done to cope with this state of things?
26081Do the dives protect women and girls from crimes like these?
26081Do they not rather manufacture the degenerates who commit these crimes?
26081Do you mean to tell me that girls and young women are bought and sold?
26081Do you think that I overstate the perils of places of this kind?

26081Here and there was a mission, now and then a Home opened, but all this was to save the sinner, who was there to find and punish the rascals?

26081I have said,"Does she not ask you?"
26081In another letter the wretch complains:"Say, why did you tell Effie about my writing to you and wanting you to come to Chicago?
26081Is it American?
26081Is it anything but a vile shame and disgrace, a disgrace to be abolished by the determined action of every lover of decency in our land?
26081Is it decent?
26081Is it some new form of vice, with the introduction of which the world is staggered; or is it the old in modern dress?
26081Is it true that vile men own young women and live upon their earnings, the wages of sin?
26081Is not this, then, reason enough for a little plain speech to parents?
26081Is the supply equal to the demand?
26081Is there a market to which these girls are brought and from which they are sent into all parts of the land?

26081Of these gay excursion centers, these American Gretna Greens?

26081One will say,"What is a girl to do?
26081Or disapprove too mildly to abolish them?
26081Ought we not to give active support to our government in its fulfillment of its treaty agreement with the nations of Europe?
26081QUESTION FROM WOMAN IN AUDIENCE: Could n''t the husbands be examined?
26081Shall He wither us with His wrath as we answer,"Nothing,"or shall He say as He said of one long ago,"She hath done what she could"?
26081Shall we defend our American civilization, or lower our flag to the most despicable foreigners-- French, Irish, Italians, Jews and Mongolians?

26081The judge asked me,''Is this your own mother?''
26081The judge asked the witness,"What did you do for those sinking hundreds, and for that perishing mother and baby?"
26081The judge replied,"You saw all that, and did nothing-- nothing?"
26081The judge said,''did anybody tell you to say all this?''
26081The next question which confronts us is what shall we do with the girls after they are liberated from the houses?

26081WHY ARE YOU WEEPING, SISTER?
26081Was there no means of stopping the unholy demand, as that alone would cause the supply to cease?
26081Was this feature of lust never to be quenched, or must it for ever be fed with the priceless gem in the crown of true womanhood?
26081What are we doing for our tempted sisters?
26081What can be done about it?
26081What could be done?
26081What good is there to be served by flaunting so dark and disgusting a subject before the family circle?"

26081Who are the primary victims?
26081Who can picture now the horrors which rose up before Estelle?
26081Who can tell the heaviness which bore down upon the heart of Estelle?
26081Who could tell of the joy which Estelle now felt on being rescued from her prison house, from the worst slavery ever known to the world?
26081Why Are You Weeping, Sister?
26081Why do so many come from one locality?
26081Why do the sovereign people of our American cities love to have it so?
26081Why do they approve the red light districts, the white slave market, the traffic in women and girls?
26081Why then should I labor to convince my brothers in the ministry?
26081Why?
26081Why?
26081Why?
26081Will you not reach and take?
26081Will you not take it?
26081Would he want his friends, or the folks at home to know that he had visited such a place?
26081Would no one be found able to fence the top of this Tarpeian Rock, over the precipice of which, the virtue of womanhood was being constantly flung?
26081_ Is there no mercy, Sister,__ For the wanton whose course is spent?_ When a woman is lovely the world will fawn.
26081_ What of the morrow, Sister?__ How shall the morrow be?_ I must feed to the end upon remorse.
26081_ What of the morrow, Sister?__ How shall the morrow be?_ I must feed to the end upon remorse.
26081_ Where is that lover, Sister?__ He will come when he knows your need._ I broke his hope and I stained his pride.

26081or one who was firmly possessed of the idea that there was really no danger, no occasion for watchfulness?
26081sobbed the girl,"So near?"
60912Did you expect to find it there?
60912Did you hurt yourself?
60912Did you look in its place?
60912Grandfather, how can God be everywhere?
60912How can God be everywhere?
60912Now will you be good?
60912What are they going to do now, Mamma?
60912What are you doing?
60912What do you do?
60912What has he done?
60912What is a new heart, Mother?
60912What is it?
60912What''s all this about?
60912Where did you leave it?
60912Whom do you suppose I saw to- day?
60912Would you have done that if mamma or I had been there?
60912You have been working hard, Michael, have n''t you? 60912 A few months passed, and Donald, now turned five, Donald the inattentive, suddenly thrust at his mother this question:--Is God ether?"
60912After a moment of thought:"What''s above the air?"
60912An equally rational answer can be given to the other question, Why do you require your children to go to church?
60912And if not, how can both be true?
60912And what do you think he said?"
60912Another moment of thought; then,"What''s above the ether?"
60912Are the children restive or boisterous?
60912Are the statements in Stevenson''s"Child''s Garden of Verses"true?
60912As the children of a certain family gather to look at Bible pictures, they are prone to ask of any group of people depicted,"Are those people good?"
60912Besides, do n''t you know that your mother''s cousin Bettina is visiting us, and that she is distracted by this sort of uproar?
60912Could any mother be satisfied with that outcome?
60912Davy, aged six, asked one day at table:"Mamma, what''s above the clouds?"
60912Do they talk incessantly and nonsensically?
60912Do you believe you can do it quickly, and not dawdle?"
60912Do you suppose that somebody can be running up here every five minutes?
60912Does n''t it make you shudder to think of dandling such a creature as that on a hard- gaited knee?
60912Does not that"unformed, diffluent brain, composed largely of water,"plead to be let alone?
60912Does that make them any the less dangerous?
60912Has one of the children pinched his hand in the door or bumped his head?
60912In such a case what does justice suggest?
60912Inattention?
60912Is it to suppress a noise?
60912Is that the way young gentlemen should treat a young lady?
60912Is there an altercation in the nursery?
60912Is"Alice in Wonderland"falsehood?
60912It came promptly:--"Is God the universe?"
60912Later, and perhaps more deliberately, he will run over this scale of questions: What means shall I use?
60912Miracles?
60912Need we trouble ourselves about these when our children are sun- worshipers, polytheists, pagans?
60912One question has precedence of all others: Shall I interfere or not?
60912Santa Claus?
60912Shall it be force?
60912Shall we allow the children to abuse their toys in this wise?
60912That Ruth threw a coal- car at you?
60912That answer is comprised in another question, What child?
60912The children might well reply, Must we be forced to lose our real world and to live in a commonplace, unreal world like yours?
60912Then she asks,"What are you going to be this evening?"
60912There are some of us, perhaps, who have the sense to give an intelligent answer to the question, Why do n''t you have your children go to church?
60912They''re not Ruth''s cars?
60912To one who is governed by this consideration, there is only one answer to the question, Do you believe in spanking a child?
60912To show what I mean, may I cite an instance in contrast to the episode of the switch and the canned salmon?
60912What can be done?
60912What could be done?
60912What did you say?
60912What difference, at bottom, however, is there between her and us when we are governed, in disciplining a child, by the degree of our own displeasure?
60912What does it matter to the ritualist whether or not he understands all the words he says?
60912What he said was,''How are the little men?''"
60912What of it?
60912What ritual surpasses in power that of the Quaker meeting- house?
60912What shall I say to God?"
60912What vestments have given color and form to character more effectually than the old- fashioned Quaker garb?
60912What''s that?
60912When one of us, however, discovers that he has been unjust toward his child, what does he do?
60912When, however, we have the child in seclusion at our mercy, are we deterred from trying the collision method by any considerations of principle?
60912Where''s my sled?"
60912Who interrupts with some trivial but insistent remark about less noise or clean clothes?
60912Why not?
60912Will children never cease to shock us by their points of view?
60912You can carry a good many logs at once, ca n''t you?"
60912how could I be so cruel as not to respond to his cry for me?"

9917Is n''t that Mary in English?

9917And how is it with the learning of responsibility, with acquiring a sense of duty?
9917And many times a day people discuss,"Which is more important, heredity or environment?"
9917And should it be insisted upon?
9917Are the girls who have mothers or"very near female relations"to be none the better, or happier for it?
9917At last he was asked,"_ Why_ do you want to get up now?"
9917But is this the only way to get for the children experience with such necessary, though unpleasant, work?
9917But suppose Richard does not care to practise the scales over and over and over again?
9917But what can you tell to a child of four or five?
9917But what happens in the course of this forced practise?
9917Did they not here learn to clean their dishes and jars as well as they would have done had the cleaning been a"duty"imposed arbitrarily from above?
9917Do we have a studied policy for treating his offence, or do we slide back to the desire to"get even"or to"pay him"for what he has done?
9917Do we not sometimes sigh that we had not more of these blessings in our own childhood?
9917Do you expect the same enthusiasm and energy to be developed in both cases?
9917Does not this admission settle at once the contention of those who see no value at all in a carefully- controlled environment?
9917Dr. Sully tells of the little girl who asked her mother,"When everybody was a baby, then who could be the nurse if they were all babies?"
9917Every day some one asks the question,"Do you believe in heredity?"
9917He asked his little brother,"Are you older than me?"
9917How can the children ever learn to do the disagreeable but necessary tasks that make up so large a part of every- day living?
9917How many know how wisely to direct these instincts without thwarting them?
9917How many mothers-- good housewives-- know anything at all about the imagination, that crowning glory of the human mind?
9917How many of us have thought out a satisfactory philosophy of punishment?
9917I suppose you think that a stork brings them?
9917If we accept this individuality of the person as a fact, what, then, is the importance of training or environment?
9917If you had been her mother, what would you have done or said to Jennie?
9917If, however, you say,"You must go alone this afternoon, I ca n''t go with you,"and if when Mary dares ask"Why?"
9917Is it because obedience itself is a supreme virtue which we desire to cultivate in our children?
9917Is it not plainly the fact that we allow ourselves to be mastered by the animal instinct to strike back?
9917Must drudgery be dreaded to be well done?
9917Now it may be asked, what discipline is there in doing always what brings satisfaction?
9917Now, thinks the mother, what do you know about this man''s purposes; what is he working for?
9917Of how many other institutions or organizations can as much be said?
9917Or is it because we find it convenient to receive obedience from those with whom we have to deal?
9917Or that we did not take advantage of the little we had?
9917Should obedience be now demanded?
9917THE STORK OR THE TRUTH"Mother, where do babies come from?"
9917THE TRAINING OF THE WILL After all, what is there about a person that really counts?
9917The answer to these and similar questions is to be found in the answer to another question, namely,"What is it precisely that the child is born with?"
9917The hostess reproved her for this, whereupon the little girl asked,"Is n''t she my own sister?"
9917The plaintive inquiry,"What shall I do now?"
9917The query at once arises,"Have not these children the same heredity?"
9917The question that concerns the parent is: What special inclinations has the child that can be utilized in a future occupation?
9917There is something about your tone of voice, or in the manner of asking"Who left the door of the chicken- house open?"
9917This same poem produced in another child quite a different train of reasoning, for"Why did the little girl get up at night and sleep in the daytime?"
9917This will satisfy most children for a considerable time, but some children will immediately ask,"Where is that little room?"
9917To take the latter first, is it not true that one part of our object is in the form of acquired knowledge and acquired skill?
9917What is the reason for our apparent back- sliding?
9917What will your answer be?
9917When the little boy asks,"Why do n''t I see two things with my two eyes?"
9917When the maid came in, he said in English,"What is her name?"
9917Where will they ever learn that some things must be done, not because we like to do them, but because it is our duty to do them?
9917Whose parents had she in mind?
9917Why can we not go on, then, as we have done in the past, leaning upon the stork?
9917Why is it that we consider obedience of such great importance in the bringing up of our children?
9917Why not let our punishments be as certain and uniform in their reaction?
9917With this aim in view, how much emphasis should then be placed on the matter of obedience?
9917Would you expect him to cooperate in teamwork after a long period of drill upon the_ rules_ governing team cooperation?
9917Would you expect him to hit hard because he has learned the correct answer to the question, How should a player hit?
9917he asked,"Was she a trained nurse?"
9917or when the little girl looks up from her dolls and asks,"Am I real, or just pretend, like my doll?"

41735A memory by which her children may order their own lives in proud assurance that so they will order them best for virtue and for honour?
41735After a certain time of such an existence, can we wonder if her complexion fades and her eyes grow dim?
41735And if they know nothing of all this, why then should others?
41735And when is it done?
41735And yet what has she to complain of?
41735Are not lace and velvet_ de rigueur_ for women of condition?
41735Are they not told that they are the lilies of the ecclesiastical garden?
41735Are they qualifying themselves to act in concert with men, by assuming an absolute moral supremacy which it is a kind of sacrilege to deny?
41735Are they really''no gentlemen''and''no ladies,''according to the famous formula of the kitchen?
41735Are you not an educated person with a soul to be saved?
41735Besides, what is there about her that you or any one should love?
41735But again we ask: What is flirting?
41735But do we wish that our women should become subjects for an English Juvenal?
41735But if the two keep well together?
41735But what about the consequences?
41735But what can one say to them?
41735But what is flirting?
41735But when the tower fell, where was the ivy?
41735Can the most exacting woman ask for more?
41735Did any one ever know a scrambling woman ready at the moment in her own house?
41735Do not our splendid passionate creatures lead madly wretched lives and make miserably uncomfortable homes?
41735Does one flight of stairs transpose morality?
41735For what are coarse material mendings to the æsthetic soul yearning after the Infinite and worshipping at the feet of the prophet?
41735For whom, but for her, are the''little secrets''which are continually being advertised as woman''s social salvation-- regardless of grammar?
41735Have we not our Tupper?
41735Her loss is too recent to admit of any thought of reparation; and yet what man does not think of that time of reparation?
41735How is it done?
41735How is it done?
41735How much of this pretended awakening is real?
41735How much of this sudden spiritual insight is true, and not a mere phrasing, artfully adopted for pleasantness only?
41735If she had to lose an arm or a leg, she would go to her trouble like a Trojan; and why not others?
41735If she was not strong enough to root out the tares while still green and tender, can she wonder at their luxuriant growth about her feet now?
41735Is dancing all the''round''dances together?
41735Is it not the game?
41735Is she not a doll?
41735Is sitting away in corners, talking in low voices and looking personally affronted if any unlucky outsider comes within earshot, flirting?
41735It is a thing that will not bear reasoning on, being simply a form of the old''who will guard the guardian?''
41735Love you?
41735One has to fall to her share; there is no help for it; and the whole contest is, which shall it be?
41735Perhaps the anecdote was just a trifle doubtful; granted; but what does the wife take by her remonstrance?
41735She is affectionate and devoted; but of what use are affection and devotion without guiding sense or judgment?
41735She may know that the meaning is to annoy; but who can act on meaning as against manner?
41735The cruel parent is the favourite whipping- boy of poetry and fiction; and yet which is likely to be the better guide-- reason or passion?
41735The sacredness of a Mohammedan''s womankind must be so complete that they are even nameless to the coarser sex; and not,''How is your wife?''
41735They are selfish, cruel, tyrannical, sensual, unjust, bloodthirsty-- where does the list end?
41735What are the hot flushes of passion, the bitter tears of grief, the frenzy of despair, to her?
41735What are we to say then of our flirts if this maxim be true?
41735What can she expect?
41735What can they do to please you?
41735What can they say to such an anomaly?
41735What constitutes its essence?
41735What degradation, for instance, is there in cookery?
41735What do they hold themselves made for?
41735What does she leave behind her?
41735What good in life does this kind of woman do?
41735What have they done that you should speak to them so harshly?
41735What is flirting?
41735What is the secret?
41735What is there in practical housekeeping less honourable than the ordinary work of middle- class gentlewomen?
41735What makes the difference between it and chaff on the one hand, and it and love- making on the other?
41735What worse example could be given to the young?
41735What would become of us if all our women were like her?
41735What, then, do they want?
41735When such a woman as this is one of the matrons, and consequently one of the leaders of society, what can we expect from the girls?
41735Who can define or determine?
41735Who will direct the directress?
41735Why can not men be her friends?
41735Why have you waited until they were successful before you recognized their value?
41735Why were you not cap in hand when they went bare- headed?
41735You ask them what is amiss?
41735_ WHAT IS WOMAN''S WORK?_ This is a question which one half the world is at this moment asking the other half; with very wild answers as the result.
41735and are not our glorious heroines better in pictures and in fiction than seated by the domestic fire, or checking the baker''s bill?
41735and does not the very essence of her dollhood lie in this want of perceptive faculty both for things and feelings?
41735and how much more home happiness would there not be if wives would take in hand that great cold- mutton question?
41735and if she be more than usually charming in person and well dowered in purse, what man does not think of himself as the best repairer she could take?
41735and to whose interference will the interferer submit?
41735and what is the grim female but the embodiment of the''rigour of the game''in all matters?
41735and why is it that they never can please you whatever they do?
41735and why should women shrink from doing for utility, and for the general comfort of the family, what they would do at any time for vanity or idleness?

36330I wonder why Mary did not stop for a word or two, as she always does when we meet? 36330 Must our cedars fall around us ere we see the light behind?"
36330Nobody never knewwhat she thought about it all, and what would the world be if the typical gentlewoman did not exercise self- control?
36330To what mortal ear could I tell all, if I had a mind? 36330 What can a boy do, and where can a boy stay, If he always is told to get out of the way?
36330What is it all but a trouble of gnats In the gleam of a million million of worlds?

3633025 MOTHERS AND SONS 32 OUR CLEVER CHILDREN 38 ULTRA- TIDINESS 46 GOOD MANNERS AT HOME 51 ARE WOMEN COWARDS?
36330A child in a house is also a wellspring of worry, many a mother might add, but would she be without it?
36330All gone?
36330All these are stitched in with the flying needle; and who would be without these long, long thoughts?
36330And again Thackeray, this time in"Vanity Fair,"as before in"Pendennis":"To how many people can any one tell all?
36330And are not mothers meant for softness and tenderness?
36330And can anything be more redolent of that quality than middle age?
36330And can not good come out of evil?
36330And can you bear to think of the anxiety of mind it costs her, poor, hard- working creature; for how can she tell that you will ever pay her?
36330And did not even S---- himself alter the last mournful phrase of"The Harp that once"into a wild top- yell in order to suit his voice?
36330And for how long has it been owing?
36330And have we not often to shut our eyes because the frame in which the golden voice is bodied is in dissonance with its beauty?
36330And how is the mother to divine from these qualities a budding poet or a master of men?
36330And how often do we find perfection in the concert- room?
36330And in the last line she wistfully and pathetically asks:"_ But shall we be young and together?_"There lies the whole gist of the matter.
36330And is not silence golden in the home?
36330And is not the poor husband to be pitied?
36330And the reward?
36330And was not a Royal Princess, not very long ago, initiated into the mysteries of hair- dressing?
36330And what of her who omits to pay her milliner, her dressmaker, her florist, and all others who supply her with the luxuries of life?
36330And what shall be said of her who goes to her dressmaker and orders a gown at the very last moment?
36330And when beauty goes, and the prime of life with its capacity for enjoyment is long over, what remains to her?
36330And where is poor Tommy, among boys, without his gun, his sword, and pistol?
36330And why should tidiness forbid a few?
36330And, being true, is it surprising that the age of chivalry is fading, fading?
36330Are there not wise and loving eyes watching our wanderings and noting our sad mistakes?
36330But do we half appreciate them?
36330But what are we to drink?
36330But who wastes time over fancy work now?
36330But, also, how much have they cost to the objects of our care?
36330Can any one dispute it, however?
36330Can any one reckon up that difficult sum?
36330Could happiness be indeed happiness without these?
36330Dead and buried?
36330Did not the Princesses of Wales learn scientific dress- cutting?
36330Do I not remember a great contralto singing to us some stirring strains and wearing the while an agony in yellow and grass- green?
36330Do none of our virtues lean to vice''s side?
36330Do not all the lady- housekeepers and companions describe themselves as"cheerful"?
36330Do not babies of nine or ten experience that cramping ill?
36330Do we give thanks for the blue of the skies, the green of the trees, the sweet air that we breathe, the glowing sunset, and the starlit heavens?
36330Does she care?
36330Does she know?
36330Does she not know that weary girls who have worked hard all day must be kept late to complete her dress?
36330For does not unnecessary outspokenness rob us of the affection and sympathy of those without whom the world would be an empty and a dreary place?
36330For who can tell how innocently or unconsciously one may wound the outrageous self- conceit of one of these?
36330Has any one ever met, in real life, the woman who screams and jumps on a chair at the sight of a mouse?
36330Has he not told us that--"Better is the dinner of herbs where love is than the stalled ox and hatred therewith"?
36330Has not Solomon himself given us a precedent for according more importance to the former than to the latter?
36330Have any of us forgotten King Lear?
36330Have we not all to practise this kind of discretion in our home dealings?
36330He certainly ought to be told of it; but who is to tell him?
36330How could it?
36330How many fine fellows has it ruined?
36330How many of us women read the newspapers, for instance?
36330How much have you compulsorily borrowed of her?
36330If every life were an epic, or an idyll, would not both be commonplace?
36330If it is difficult in the home, what must it be in the case of the high ones of the earth, to whom all the world turns a courtier face?
36330If love is blind, what on earth is self- love?
36330If the money they save has to go in doctors''fees, of what earthly use are they?
36330If we are to be young again, what boots it if the loved faces of long ago are lacking?
36330Is it all lost?
36330Is it not a good recommendation for punctuality with meals?
36330Is it not true that the more we see of human nature the more lovable we find it?
36330Is it not true, oh sisters?
36330Is it not true?
36330Is not that what love does for us all?
36330Is not this a case when silence proves itself to be golden indeed?
36330Is such a life ignoble?
36330Is the spirit for ever outweighed by its fleshly envelope, the body?
36330Is there a converse to her?
36330Is there anything in it beyond imaginings?
36330Is there not a pleasure in conquering circumstances-- in fighting poverty and making it yield to economy, contrivance, and industry?
36330It is, at least, not a commodity to be laid in in large quantities, is it?
36330Nor do we enjoy being forced to drink cold water when we are not thirsty, do we?
36330Or in her whose maid has to sit up for her till the small hours, and yet has to fetch her her cup of tea bright and early the next morning?
36330Or who could understand all?"
36330PAGE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER 9 OUR SCHOOL- GIRLS 18 WHAT ABOUT SEWING?
36330So what is one to do?
36330The question asked by one''s host or hostess at a restaurant:"What wine do you like?"
36330There is no very particular reason why those who can afford it should_ not_ drink wine; but why should they do it?
36330To walk on the sunny side of the way is wisdom, but how many of us are wise?
36330Was there ever a girl whom nobody loved?
36330Was there ever an heiress yet who did not find it so?
36330Was there not once a blithe old lady who lived to the age of 110, and died of a fall from a cherry tree then?
36330Were not our Queen''s daughters taught to cook and sew, and make themselves useful?
36330What cared they for draughts in the long- ago, when all the world was young?
36330What could heaven itself offer to such a woman?
36330What does Thackeray say?
36330What is the use of class successes if they are won at the expense of health?
36330What sort of life would a little chicken lead if it were for ever under the good old hen''s wing?
36330What would English homes be without their girls?
36330Where is her social conscience?
36330Who has not read"Père Goriot"?
36330Who shall compute what bright natures suffer in an environment like this?
36330Who shall say what storms of rancorous hate and bitter loathing pass over the young soul in the boy''s first term at school?
36330Who will be open when there is no sympathy, or has call to speak to those who never can understand?"
36330Who would choose the existence of a cabbage when she might disperse her thoughts among the stars?
36330Why curtail its little blisses?
36330Why should we have wine?

57423What is,I will ask in turn,"the only remedy for unhappy loves, the only anchor of salvation for betrayed loves?"
57423Which are the happy loves?
57423Adam loves Eve; Eve loves Adam; what can be more simple, what affinity more intense, what affection more inevitable than their union?
57423And do we not, too, offer as holocaust to love wealth, glory, science?
57423And how can not Socialism be a sacred thing if it is his religion?"
57423And if you have found a heroine, why make a martyr of her?
57423And is not love the greatest of idolatries?
57423And is this not prostitution?
57423And the beautiful Creole, who knew nothing of Darwin and sexual selection, would reply smilingly:"But why today?
57423And who can enumerate all the sublime puerilities, all the ardent tendernesses, all the insensate acts of the idolatry of love?
57423And who can say that he has possessed a woman entirely in one night of love?
57423And who does not believe himself a hero or a martyr at that age?
57423And who does not know similar stories?
57423And why do we love him?
57423And why, my boy, do you prefer that little girl to all the others?
57423And why, my pretty girl, do you allow yourself to be kissed only by the lips of that dark, impertinent little beau?
57423And, in fact, what is love if not the choice of the better forms in order to perpetuate them?
57423Are the rights of love equal in man and woman?
57423Are we, then, tyrants?
57423Are you not satisfied with the glory of doing homage to love?
57423Before the inappellable rudeness of this explanation what can science say, what can morality suggest?
57423But have we not the small and hypocritical polygamies of modern society, and those, most splendid and impudent, of the Orientals?
57423But in these various cases, was the presence of a new sentiment deemed necessary in order that the crime might be committed?
57423But, if this be really so, why does she not open her wings and fly away into the infinite sky?
57423Can anyone love anybody on earth more deeply than one''s own children?
57423Can you imagine ever having loved a woman whose name you know not?
57423Do you believe that a kiss given to that one whom you love and who is yours, through the petals of a rose, is a sin of lust?
57423Do you want to be the executioner of her whom you say you love?
57423For this, perhaps, Solomon used to cry out in his harem:"And who will find me a strong woman?"
57423Has Cæsar ever doubted of winning a battle?
57423Has Napoleon ever doubted of being immortal?
57423Have I really given my whole self to my king?"
57423Have they, those dear and happy young sparrows, carried into effect the republic of Plato?
57423Have we made ourselves big?
57423Have we not in man, as in very many animals, females who submit to love as to a duty, and males on whom love must be imposed?
57423Have we not in the world of man all the lasciviousness, all the ardors, all the possibilities of lewdness of the animals''world?
57423Have we not libertinism at the very side of chastity?
57423Have you ever thought of the various consequences of a caprice of infidelity, according as a man or a woman is guilty?
57423He shall defend it from rapacious animals: is he courageous?
57423He shall train and enrich his children: has he talent, ambition, tenacity of purpose?
57423How and when should the king of the universe ever change the style and the direction of his thought through the influence of a kiss or a caress?
57423How can we suddenly obliterate the ardent remembrances of the many years of love?
57423How can you love me if you do not feel for me the slightest jealousy?"
57423How many are these moral eunuchs?
57423How many men and women can love without desire?
57423If woman is a cup out of which every one may drink, why should there be jealousy?
57423Is he meditating, perhaps, upon the tremendous problem of the proletariate or on that of human liberty?
57423Is he, perhaps, dreaming of glory, of wealth?
57423Is it jealousy, then, the hatred that an animal manifests toward any creature which interrupts it in its loves?
57423Is it not true that above all you want to have for support that firm column called"an honorable man"?
57423Is there anything more that I can give thee?
57423No objection, no discussion; where love is present, who would give suggestions or counsel?
57423Oh, why can we not reduce love to a problem of hygiene and régime?
57423Oh, why did not heaven make us out of this blessed, soft, sweet paste?
57423One loves when one hurries to the mirror at every instant to ask of oneself,"Am I beautiful enough?"
57423Pray, O most gentle and divine companions, on what side does the scale of the balance fall?
57423Shall this eternally be a dream?
57423Shall we always threaten and assault men to make them better?
57423Shall we not have a medicine less cruel than sorrow to cure men of vice and crime?
57423The man shall build the nest: is he an architect?

17278Said the doctor,"and who may it be?"
17278Shall we forever run after gay attire and ornament?

17278The Arabs say that a man once asked a camel,"What made your_ neck_ so crooked?"

17278The palm tree said my glossy raven, Why do you look so craven, Why did you drop a feather, Like snow in winter weather?
17278Then Ibn Adam said: What do you want of me?

17278Then said they, where is the Donkey whom we set on guard over our crop?

23312And is there any country in the world whose citizens need to learn a respect for law more than in America?
23312And perhaps it may be asked,"What are our habits of life?"
23312And shall we find in France a country where the general type of the race is degenerating or improving?
23312And where are the girls, who, forty, even fifty years ago, made trial of"persistent"study, of the dangerous system of co- education in the Academies?
23312Are not the steep and dangerous rocky precipices by the side of the way to be daringly scaled and slid down?
23312Are not the teachers seeking truth as well as the physicians?

23312But let us suppose this point gained, a foundation laid, what obstacles lie in the way of the teacher of to- day?
23312But shall we find in France a country where the proportion of births to the number of nubile women is greater than in our own?
23312But what are French moquettes, brocade, or satin, compared with rosy cheeks, clear complexions, and steady nerves?

23312EFFECTS OF MENTAL GROWTH A few years since, when Mr. Higginson''s essay"Ought Women to learn the Alphabet?"
23312Even in the narrowest view possible to the teacher, is it not for her interest that her pupils should be healthy?
23312For whose admiration and attraction do our young women array themselves?
23312Has such a woman missed the crown and glory of womanhood?
23312Has the education which we have been giving our girls tended to develop these?
23312Have we found anything there to frighten even a physiologist?
23312Have we not the right to decide in which way the leveling shall be effected-- the equation be formed?

23312If so, why do girls suffer more in health?
23312If the beginning of brain- work were deferred till a girl were jaded with dissipation, how much could be accomplished in season for self- support?
23312If we can have intellectual development and physical activity combined, is it not a thing to be devoutly wished?
23312Is it any wonder if some who might endure the one, fail under the weight of both?
23312Is it not at once seen how a requisition of this kind will gently force her into habits of order?
23312Is it not manifest, that while the demands upon the vital force have been increased, the supply of material has been decreased?
23312Is it not our own fault, and shall we not so educate our girls that they shall not fall into it, since they comprehend its unreason?

23312Need mothers be reminded of how very troublesome the little girl becomes in a short school vacation, or during the first days of a long one?
23312No harm is done?
23312Now, what of these 620 women, to whom Oberlin has given the privileges of a higher intellectual development?
23312Now, why did they not break down?
23312Shall we not rather direct it by a sound religious education, into more healthy channels?
23312Shall we venture to depart from the old ways, and to decry the customs handed down to us from the ages gone by?
23312Since we are"heirs of all the ages,"why throw away our inheritance?
23312The American mother is not so likely to say to her daughter,"You must not go to this party,"as,"Do you think you had better go?"

23312The only test for a girl''s clothing, as to tightness, should be,"Can you take a good, full breath, and not feel your clothes?"

23312Where are the statistics concerning German women resident in this country?
23312Where are they?
23312Who but a woman can appreciate the trouble of always being obliged to use one hand in carrying her skirts up long flights of stairs?
23312Who but a woman knows the inconvenience of her long skirts in entering or leaving a carriage, or in a strong wind?
23312Who ever worked harder than he?
23312Why do we find comparatively few invalids among the educated German girls and women?
23312Why is it that the criticisms of so many women who see below the surface, ring with a womanly indignation?

23609Do you blame me because I write so freely?
23609Do you know anything?
23609Do you love and seek the society of the wise and good?
23609Do you seek to be with the profane?
23609Do you, can you love me?
23609Does not this alone prove to us, conclusively, that there is a Divinity in the background governing, controlling and influencing our lives?
23609FATAL CONDITIONS.--What are all lovers''"spats"but disappointment in its very worst form?

23609God has ordained that children should thus be brought into the world, do you call the works of God silly?
23609Had you rather take the lowest seat among these than the highest seat among others?
23609Have they not fouled their own nest, and transmitted to their children predisposition to moral evil?
23609Have you a good set of teeth, which you are willing to show whenever the wit of the company gets off a good thing?
23609Have you, young man, who are at home whining over the fact that you can not get into society, done anything to give you a claim to social recognition?
23609He answers with ardent confidence:"Thy love I do adore, The stars live in the harmony of love, and why should not we, too, love each other?"
23609He who maims my person effects that which medicine may remedy; but what herb has sovereignty over the wounds of slander?

23609IS IT EVER RIGHT TO PREVENT CONCEPTION?
23609In other words, as a return for what you wish to have society do for you, what can you do for society?
23609In short, do you possess anything of any social value?
23609In what other can they?
23609Is it not both unwise and self- destructive; and in every way calculated to render your case, present and prospective, still more hopeless?
23609Is it that one false step which now constitutes the boundary between virtue and vice?
23609Is not this the only proper method, and the one most likely to result happily?
23609Is the law and moral right to continue to be trodden under foot?
23609Is there no relief for helpless women that are bound by the ties of marriage to men who are nothing but rotten corruption?
23609Is this the order of nature?
23609Is this your habit?
23609Let echo answer, What?
23609MOTHERS, DOES GOD THUS PUT the endowment of your darlings into your moulding power?
23609May I hope?
23609Nature has no secrets, and why should we?
23609Now what think you of this"seeing life?"
23609Now, if in such conditions men beget their children, who can affect surprise if they develop licentious tendencies?
23609Now, what law has been broken, to induce this penalty?
23609Of the throng that struggle at the gates of entrance, how many may reach their anticipated goal?
23609Oh, Laura, can you love me in return?
23609On a sunny Summer morning, Early as the dew was dry, Up the hill I went a berrying; Need I tell you-- tell you why?
23609Or is this the way either to retrieve your past loss, or provide for the future?
23609Or rather, the discovery of that false step?
23609RETRIEVE YOUR PAST LOSS.--Do sun, moon, and stars indeed rise and set in your loved one?
23609SOCIETY OF THE VULGAR.--Do you love the society of the vulgar?
23609SUFFERING WOMEN.--Who can be astonished at the many unhappy marriages, if he knows how unworthy most men are of their wives?
23609Shall other animals rear nearly all their young, and shall man, constitutionally by far the strongest of them all, lose half or more of his?
23609TELLING THEIR LOVE.--The generality of the sex is love to be loved: how are they to know the fact that they{ 38} are loved unless they are told?
23609THE FIRST LESSONS.--Should you be asked by your four or five- year old,"Mamma, where did you get me?"
23609THE PENALTIES FOR LOST VIRTUE.--Can the harlot be welcomed where either children, brothers, sisters, wife, or husband are found?
23609THE SECOND LESSON.--The second lesson came with the question,"But_ where_ is the nest?"
23609TOO OFTEN THE HUSBAND thinks only of his personal gratification; he insists upon what he calls his rights(?
23609The corset more than any other one thing is responsible for woman''s being the victim of disease and doctors...."What is the effect upon the child?
23609The principle is the same; and if the principle is right, why not multiply methods?
23609The question is always asked,"Can Conception be prevented at all times?"
23609Then by what?
23609To whom can you introduce her?
23609WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR?--Are you a good beau, and are you willing to make yourself useful in waiting on the{ 67} ladies on all occasions?
23609What can you say concerning her?
23609What is the result?
23609What kind of coin do you propose to pay in the discharge of the obligation which comes upon you with social recognition?
23609What man is there who can not trace the origin of many of the best maxims of his life to the lips of her who gave him birth?

23609While now--(will God forgive me?)
23609Who can redeem it lost?
23609Who can tell how much this state of things is due to the enervation of maternal life forces by the one instrument of torture?
23609Who shall repair it injured?
23609Who will dare question that this mother''s effort to destroy him while in embryo was the main cause in bringing him to the level of the brutes?
23609Who will not confess the influence of a mother in forming the heart of a child?
23609Who{ 202} shall quarrel with the Divinely implanted instinct, or declare it to be vulgar or unmentionable?
23609Why have I found grace in{ 197} thine eyes that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?"
23609Why marry at all if not to found a family that shall live to bless and make glad the earth after father and mother are gone?
23609Why may not lying be as legitimately cured by blisters made with hot coals as by black and blue spots made with a ruler or whip?
23609Why should we do less?
23609Will she ask mamma whether it is ever proper to sit in her lover''s lap?
23609Will the legislature or congress do nothing?
23609Will you in matters thus momentous, head- long rush"Where angels dare not tread?"
23609Will you kindly favor me{ 40} with a testimonial as to my character, ability and conduct while at Boston Normal School?
23609Will you love her selfish, shirking, calculating nature after twenty years of close companionship?
23609Will you trifle with the dearest interests of your children?
23609Wilt thou, then, Spurn at His edict, and fulfill a man''s?
23609With assumed harshness the lady asks her lover:"Who are you, and what do you want?"
23609With what inherent repulsion do you look back upon them?
23609Would you be an ornament to your sex, and a blessing to your race?
23609and can you not catch them?
23609because she is pitiful to the sinful, tender to the sorrowful, capable, self- reliant, modest, true- hearted?
23609because you feel you can not live without him?
23609because you have a great empty place in your head and heart that nothing but a man can fill?
23609in brief, because she is the embodiment of all womanly virtues?
23609say where are you staying?
23609which think you is the most sensible and fraught with the least danger to your darling boy or girl?

16047But did n''t you say anything?
16047But how can I?
16047But what of the cricket- match that you wanted so to see?
16047Can men keep their health and strength as celibates till such time as they have the means to marry?
16047Oh, my son,exclaimed his mother in great distress,"how are we to help you young fellows?
16047She gave him encouragement; what else could she expect? 16047 Then if doctors were to warn you more plainly than they do?"
16047Then what can we do, what can we do?
16047We talk of our greatness,says Mr. Froude;"do we really know in what a nation''s greatness consists?
16047Who is the happy husband? 16047 [ 26] Again, could we not give our boys a little more teaching about the true nature and sacredness of fatherhood?
16047[ 38] What was it that made the Egyptian civilization one of the longest- lived of ancient civilizations? 16047 ''Do you think I am easier to be played on than a pipe?'' 16047 And from this secret place of thunder is not God now calling His chosen ones to come forward and be fellow- workers with Him? 16047 And have we even secured the happiness of our own daughters by this high standard of living which prevents so many of them from marrying at all? 16047 And now, when at the end of the ages He once again calls us women to stand heart to heart with Him in a great redemptive purpose, shall we hang back? 16047 And to what further admirable results have we attained by this high standard of comfort and luxury? 16047 Art thou also like unto us? 16047 But have we not suffered our girls to drift into the opposite extreme? 16047 But how is this to be done? 16047 But is it so? 16047 But is not this wholly to misunderstand our Lord''s teaching? 16047 But perhaps some pessimistic mother will exclaim,What is the use of making these old- fashioned appeals to our modern girls?
16047But the Christ meets us with the words,"Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?"
16047But, further, to strengthen us in this splendid quality, have we sufficiently recognized the new moral forces that are coming into the world?
16047CHAPTER II"WHY SHOULD I INTERFERE?"
16047CHAPTER III FIRST PRINCIPLES"But what can we do?"
16047CONTENTS CHAPTER PAGE I.--INTRODUCTORY 1 II.--"WHY SHOULD I INTERFERE?"
16047Can men keep their health and strength as celibates?
16047Could not our sweet English and American girls be to their brothers what that young French girl was to hers?
16047Do we not feel at once that we stand here at the very centre of the mighty forces that are moulding men to nobler shape and higher use?
16047Do we really think that boys are born less pure than girls?
16047Do you think if the clergy were more faithful, they could help you more than they do?"
16047Do you think it cost the women of that day nothing to bear all this on their tender hearts?
16047From some impure maidservant who has stolen into the household and the nursery?
16047From some ribald groom in the stables?
16047From whom should they first learn it?
16047Has God built up His everlasting marble of broken shells, and will He not build up his temple of the future out of these broken efforts of ours?
16047Has it not been created in a great measure by a wrong method?
16047Have we not made up our mind that the beast and not the Christ is our master here; and does not every beast spring at once on a fallen prey?
16047How could I deny this bitter accusation in the face of facts?
16047How does God feed the birds of the air?
16047How shall we flatten it?
16047I ask, Would such a state of things be possible in these days?
16047I had heard the words too often from the lips of outcast girls in answer to my question,"Does your mother know where you are?"
16047I know that straight from your heart again comes the cry,"What can I do?"
16047III Again I seem almost to hear the cry of your heart,"I know I ought to speak to my boy, but how am I to do it?"
16047IS IT NATURAL?
16047If it will now permit a man to be buried simply when he is dead, why can not it allow him to exist simply whilst he is living?"
16047If marriage be not a sacrament, an outward and visible sign of an inward and spiritual life and grace, I ask what is?
16047If the boy has got out of hand, I ask, Whose fault is that?
16047Is humanity more readily straightened than an iron plate?
16047Is it fair, is it honorable, is it even manly?
16047Is it not by incessant and untiring effort on their part?
16047Is not Robert Louis Stevenson right when he says that"the ideal of the stalled ox is the one ideal that will never satisfy either man or woman"?
16047Is not my husband right when he says that this is a subject we women can know nothing about, and that here we must bow to the judgment of men?"
16047Is the standard of the moral law possible to men who have to maintain a high level of physical efficiency in the sharp competition of modern life?
16047May not He"Whose large plan ripens slowly to a whole"be working out a progressive ideal such as we trace in the great spiritual records of our race?
16047Once again, was it not in his age- long conflict with the great world evil of slavery that man worked out the true nature of a moral personality?
16047Should it be with every accompaniment of coarseness, of levity, of obscenity?
16047Sometimes I have asked in anguish of spirit:"Will women give it?"
16047That which has been sown in such deep dishonor, will it not be raised in some glory that excelleth?
16047Truly we might apostrophize Freedom in the words of the Hebrew prophet:"Who is this that cometh with her garments dyed in blood?"
16047WHO HOLDS THE ROPE?
16047What are we women going to do in the face of such vast issues for good or evil?
16047What can be the fun of winning other people''s money?"
16047What can one expect but that, having sown moral carelessness, we shall reap corruption?
16047What can the boy think?
16047What can you say to them, except to tell them to take care of themselves and keep the men at arm''s length?"
16047What mean these mysteries of love and birth?
16047What was it but their faithfulness to the Highest that they had known which made them endure the Cross, despising the shame?
16047What was it that enabled our barbaric ancestors, the Teutons, to overthrow the whole power of civilized Rome?
16047Where is their chivalry?
16047Where is their common humanity?
16047Which of us have not had such moments of despondency in the face of a great task?
16047Who else can implant in her son that habitual reverence for womanhood which to a man is"as fountains of sweet water in the bitter sea"of life?
16047Who so well as a mother can teach the sacredness of the body as the temple of the Eternal?
16047Who so well as a mother, as he passes into dawning manhood, can plead faithfulness to the future wife before marriage as well as after?
16047Why has Nature made these passions so strong that she seems wholly regardless of all considerations of morality?
16047Why is there this nameless moral difficulty at the very heart of our life which our whole soul revolts from contemplating?
16047Why may I not leave it all to the boy''s father?
16047Why should I interfere?"
16047Why should it be my duty to face a question which is very distasteful to me, and which I feel I had much better let alone?"
16047Why should we accept life''s necessary drudgery for our boys and refuse it for our girls?
16047Why then should we despair?
16047Why, I ask, should men when they get together be one whit coarser than women?
16047Would not a little sound, sensible teaching be of great good here?
16047Would we have the Anglo- Saxon race enter on this downward grade?
16047and is it fair to the child that your fault should be remedied by sending him away from all that is best and most purifying in child life?
16047and swamp the women and children?
16047can sadder words knell in a woman''s ears than these?
16047she replied,"I know that but too well; but what makes you say so?"
16047so largely minister to the existence of an outcast class of women?
16047they must ever fade in a world like this-- but to aim at Virtue, with her victor''s crown of gold, tried in the fire?
6704After the kings were driven out, what does the internal history mainly consist of?
6704And mistakes here will affect a child through its whole lifetime?
6704And those who live,--do they grow up in full health and vigor?
6704And whether these will become like those, or not, depends on chance?
6704Are there no sources from which knowledge may be obtained? 6704 Are these beautiful creatures of any value?"
6704Are they constituted pretty nearly alike, so that the treatment which is best for one is best for all?
6704But is this matter of health subject to no laws?
6704But who among you dare make these early impressions which are to be so enduring? 6704 Do we not,"as Horace Mann once asked,"do we not need some single word where we can condense into one monosyllable the meaning of ten thousand fools?"
6704Do you think so? 6704 I suppose there is no danger of their growing up any other than the right kind of men and women, such as your country needs?"
6704Is it a common thing here for children to die?
6704Mothers, then, are not in the habit of teaching them to their children?
6704No preparation? 6704 No time?--no time to prepare for your chief mission?"
6704Special instruction?
6704The presidents and professors of your educational institutions,--do they share the common belief as to woman''s mission?
6704Training of children? 6704 What mission do you mean?"
6704What were the social, and what were the civil wars?
6704What, then, in real life, is your mission?
6704What, then, were you taught there?
6704Where, then, were you prepared for the duties of your mission?
6704--"But how?"
6704--"Where is the money coming from to pay the help?"
6704All women shall dress as seemeth to them good; and no woman shall say, or think, or look,"Why do ye so?"
6704And these unworthy views of men and women, to what are they owing?
6704And what kind will they need?
6704And what will women, what will the house- mothers, do when they feel this truth?
6704Are American women of less account than they?
6704Are not mothers, as child- trainers, in absolute need of true culture?
6704Are you competent to the direction and culture of the intellectual and moral nature?
6704As for the particular subjects and their order, common sense would ask, first, What does a young mother want to know first?
6704But are you acquainted with the different temperaments a child may have, and the different combinations of them?
6704But have we, or have they, a full sense of what woman requires to fit her even for the first of these duties?
6704But how is this general enlightenment to be effected?
6704But is there no possible way by which mothers now living may escape from this present unsatisfactory condition?
6704But what that man wants to know more than any thing is, on what day the steamer sails for Europe: is she seaworthy?
6704But, supposing a mother succeeds in keeping her child alive and well, what knowledge does she desire next?
6704But, while waiting to get at the foundation, would it not be well to work a little on the surface for the sake of immediate results?
6704Can any subjects comprised in any school course compare in importance with these?
6704Can you think of any surer way than this by which good citizens may be raised up for our country?
6704Do not husbands provide their wives with books and other means of information on this subject?"
6704Does not the condition of our women call for missionary effort?
6704Does the process hasten on the time of beating swords into ploughshares?
6704Friends, to say nothing of higher motives, would it not be good policy to educate wisely every girl in the country?
6704Go into the upper lofts where much of this sewing is done, and what will you find?
6704Have you skill to touch the hidden springs of action?
6704Have you, thus uninstructed, the power, the knowledge, the wisdom, requisite for guiding that mighty force, a child''s soul?"
6704How do we know that by watchfulness and wise management children born with inherited bad traits may not be trained to become good men and women?
6704How may perfect politeness be combined with perfect sincerity?
6704How shall liberality be inculcated, and extravagance denounced?
6704If it be asked, Should we not also relinquish costly fabrics, and the elegant appointments of our dwellings?
6704If the contents of these papers are bad for us to hear of, what must they be to the youth who read them?
6704If"Institutes"are not for this purpose, what are they for?
6704If, then, neither church, nor state, nor social position, nor any outside influence, has power to make men honest, where shall we look for such power?
6704Is it not madness to make no provision for such a task?"
6704Is not love all- powerful and all- sufficient?"
6704Is not the influence of_ fathers_ on their children to be considered?
6704Is the unfolding of a human being so simple a process that any one may superintend and regulate it with no preparation whatever?...
6704Is there any thing ridiculous, then, in their taking them in their arms, and overlooking their childish sports?
6704Is there any thing that will weigh in the balance against''mother''s''life?
6704Is this the right way?
6704It inquires,"How can Woman best oppose Intemperance?"
6704It may be asked here, in what way, or by what studies, shall the young woman''s class at the"Institute"be taught the necessary knowledge?
6704Many will pronounce this absurd; but why is it absurd?
6704No one will call our present system of education a perfect one; why, then, should there not be innovations?
6704Now let us ask, under our breaths, what are public affairs?
6704Now, how is it that a woman works on after she is completely used up?
6704Now, who, more than any one,"shapes and conducts the home"?
6704Now, why should a sick woman have crawled out into the kitchen, to stir up a loaf of cake?
6704Our problem is this: How may woman enjoy the delights of culture, and at the same time fulfil her duties to family and household?
6704Question, How shall"mother"find time for culture?
6704Shall obedience be implicit, and how early in the child''s life shall it be exacted?
6704Shall our women receive such enlightenment?
6704Shall woman''s sons be thus destroyed, and woman be powerless to interfere?
6704She asks not,"How shall I escape?"
6704Should not_ fathers_ be educated for their vocation?"
6704Should representatives of"our best families"ask,"How does this affect us and ours?"
6704Some persons have asked, after hearing or reading the foregoing suggestions,"Do not_ men_ also work too much and read too little?
6704Suppose each generation, as it comes on to the stage, does inform itself thus minutely: what, in the long- run, does humanity gain thereby?
6704The question, How may work and culture be combined?
6704Then there are questions like these: How far should love of approbation be encouraged?
6704These aims are by no means unimportant ones, or unworthy ones; but are they in all cases the highest a woman should possess?
6704To what is this present state of things owing?
6704True, it is not his calling; but what is there so very incongruous in a father''s"taking care"of his own children?
6704True, this will cause innovations; but is it_ therefore_ objectionable?
6704Was that a paramount duty,--one which demanded the outlay of her little all of strength?
6704We shall feel grief when she is worn out; why not when she is wearing out?
6704We would make sacrifices to bring her back; why not to keep her with us?"
6704What better could mothers do for their children than thus to meet occasionally and hold counsel together?
6704What do you think?
6704What is the substance, the capacity of this"ambition"on which alone she lives?
6704What kind of"nests"are being built by the young readers of these publications, of which it may almost literally be said,"no boy can do without one"?
6704What prominence shall be given to externals, as personal appearance, the minutia of behavior, politeness of speech?
6704What say you, friends?
6704When shall ambition and the spirit of emulation be encouraged, and when repressed?
6704Who are the operators on these delicate and complex pieces of mental machinery?"
6704Who creates these"domestic influences,"this"medium in which the child is habitually immersed"?
6704Who"gets time"to do all that sewing?
6704Who, chiefly, are responsible for these?
6704Why not bring the subject to the consideration of young women"beforehand,"when, being assembled in companies, they are easy of access?
6704Why not consider the weakness of these toiling sisters?
6704Why not have some arrangement of this kind for the women?
6704Why not?
6704Why, then, is it not given to young women as a part of their education, and as the most important part?
6704and shall it come in to the finishing or supplementary part of their education( so called)?
6704are her life- preservers stuffed with cork or shavings?
6704but,"How shall I endure?"
6704is she well provisioned, well manned, well commanded?
6704what are her accommodations?
6704where do they get it, and at what sacrifices?
16800And when people have no house, and no money, and nothing left, where do they go? 16800 Are his manners disagreeable?"
16800But perhaps you are not familiar with ceramic terms?
16800But why is she attractive to so many people?
16800But,I suggested,"do n''t you think that is caused by acute indigestion?"
16800But-- my duty to my neighbor?
16800Charlie,she said, plaintively, to her youngest boy,"what would you do if poor mamma were to get very sick?"
16800Checking?
16800Do you eat and sleep tolerably well?
16800Does your husband think a full beard becoming to him?
16800From indigestion?
16800Have you a mortgage on that place?
16800How could she write it? 16800 How many did you let her see?"
16800How much does your table cost you per week?
16800How much is the mortgage?
16800Is he bad?
16800Is he such a fool? 16800 Is not that used now as a general term for earthenware decorated with color?"
16800Papa,she observed,"it is all finished, is n''t it?"
16800Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
16800Shams?
16800Then, what is so disagreeable about him?
16800Was that gown very expensive?
16800What could I say of you Katy?
16800What does she eat?
16800What makes the difference between those two carriages?
16800What rent do you pay?
16800What would you do?
16800What, for instance, have been some of your works since you have been in this country?
16800When is he sober?
16800Why not?
16800Why should he when she had enough for both?
16800Why were those newel posts oiled before they were set up?
16800Why? 16800 Yet you say she is his own sister?"
16800You write-- do you?
16800_ But will not my readers agree with me that she was a genuine wife, mother, housekeeper,--in short, achink- filler?"
16800''s illness?"
16800After all, may not what the impulsive girl whom I quoted at the beginning of this talk termed the"sham"of life, be the real, though hidden side?
16800After the exit of the principal actors in the poem, we are told that the following conversation ensued:"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
16800Again I ask,_ cui bono?_ CHAPTER IX.
16800Among others was the query:"How many grains of the medicine does your father take every day?"
16800And after all the years of parental indulgence, what is your reward?
16800And if we do have to drink skim milk, shall we throw away the cream on that account?
16800And why am I a boor if I do not give her my seat, while she is considered a lady if she takes it without thanking me?
16800Are girls, take them as a rule, as well- bred as boys?
16800Before relegating them to the attic or ragpicker, would it not be prudent and pleasant to preserve the laces with which they were trimmed?
16800But-- suppose he were not a good man, what then?
16800But--_cui bono?_"Chagrined, mortified, angry, the author took the words with her to her room, and her brain tossed upon them as upon thorns all night.
16800Ca n''t I help you?"
16800Can the same be said of the child of to- day?
16800Could the mere fact of his union with her change his entire nature?
16800Did the loyal soul find that marriage paid?
16800Do they starve to death?"
16800Do you remember how genuine your distresses then seemed?
16800Does she bewail herself that her sphere is small-- limited?
16800Even a wealthy woman who can make work easy(?)
16800Even supposing one lays herself open to the charge of flattery, is it not less of a fault than to merit the reputation for brutal fault- finding?
16800FAMILIAR OR INTIMATE?
16800Familiar, or Intimate?
16800For is not a coarse woman always more abhorrent than a coarse man?
16800Had his been a coarse brutal nature, would not the idea of reformation have been still more hopeless?
16800Have you ever noticed it?
16800Have you never had a whole day brightened by some seemingly chance remark which warmed the cockles of your heart with a delicious glow?
16800Have you noticed how, as soon as you can laugh over a vexation, the sting of it is gone?
16800How could she bring herself to put that down in black and white with the memory of the baby she has lost, in her mind?"
16800How could she, with the grim doors of the home for the county paupers yawning blackly to receive her?
16800How would you receive this or that correction?
16800I look up, bewildered, from an essay to which I have just set the caption--"Who is my Neighbor?"
16800I thought he was considered rather bright?"
16800I told the story of my bearded youth and asked:"Where then is the safe ground?
16800IS MARRIAGE REFORMATORY?
16800If a man can describe it all so well, what could a woman do?
16800If we thus openly defy all her laws, can we wonder if the kind but just mother calls us to account for it?
16800In the novels and poems that set forth the eternal fitness of the cling- twine- and- depend school, the vine is always feminine, the oak( or cedar?)
16800In this commonplace, fearfully real world, what would we do without the blessed Gospel of Conventionalities?
16800Is Marriage Reformatory?
16800Is it any wonder that mothers sometimes become discouraged?
16800Is it to be wondered at that caustic critics of human nature and inconsistencies catalogue marriage for the wife under the head of mendicancy?
16800Is it true that in morals there is no stated, infallible and eternal gauge--"the measure of a man-- that is, of an angel?"
16800Is n''t she as able to"swing corners"holding on to a strap as I?
16800Is not smooth, neat linen to take the precedence of trimming and starch?
16800Is not the opposition consequent upon the universal desire to set other people right, the breath that blows the flame?
16800Is she likely to be mistaken on such a point when she cried all night in Boston and the bereft infant wailed all night in New York?
16800Is she willing to see her children''s blood tainted by his vices, their lives wrecked by evil temptations inherited from him?
16800Let us quietly take hold of ourselves and ask ourselves the plain question,"Are we nervous, or cross?"
16800May I add one word to those whom we, in exasperation, are apt to call aggressively strong?
16800May it not be that the manipulation then acquired still serves him?
16800May not this explanation, while rather far- fetched, afford some clue to the causes of personal popularity?
16800Nobody is so besotted as to ask,"Does dram- drinking pay?"
16800Not long ago, I asked of an acquaintance who is a wonderful reader of character:"Why has Mrs. S---- so many good friends?"
16800Please tell me who taught her to play with it?"
16800SHALL, I PASS IT ON?
16800Shall I Pass It On?
16800She loves her family, and while they are sometimes very trying, who could expect her to bear a grudge against the dear ones?
16800Since there were at least one or two pleasant features in the landscape, why could he not call attention to them?
16800Such are touching a lady on arm or shoulder to attract her attention, inquiring"What say?"
16800Then why call the attention of others to the circumstances that they are guilty of the same weakness, if such it be?
16800Then why"give the piece of your mind,"which you can never take back?
16800Then, what would you do?"
16800To come down to"hard pan"--whence originates this unwholesome dread of ripeness and maturity?
16800Under such provocation does not murder assume the guise of justifiable homicide?
16800Undoubtedly he was extremely impertinent; but did not the interference of the grandparent justify the rebuke?
16800WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO?
16800Was that grief so much more sensible than this, or do you love her less now?
16800What Good Will It Do?
16800What business have these people to interfere?
16800What do you think that blessed innocent did?
16800What does Charles take her for?
16800What does the Bible say of the hypocrite?
16800What good will it do?
16800What if John''s mother has disagreeable peculiarities?
16800What is the baneful spirit which tempts the gentlest of us to take more pleasure in calling attention to a fault than to a virtue?
16800When is it altogether reputable for one to declare his real age?"
16800When your"frank friend(?)"
16800Whin they think me cross, it''s only that I''m a bit quoiet, an''who can wonder?
16800Who will send me news of the formation of the first Chapter of the H.P.U.?
16800Who would not rather be a healer than a scarifier?
16800Why does not a kind Father mean for us to profit by the one as much as by the other?
16800Why expect him to take these on trust any more than you expect the daughters to do this?
16800Why keep a dog and do your own barking?"
16800Why not let her do it?
16800Why should he not give credit to the same source?
16800Why should our preferences, our likes or dislikes be of more account than those of thousands of other people?
16800Why then this rooted hatred and horror of step- mothers?
16800Why torture them by a mere form?"
16800Why, then, yield to the disposition to attempt the impracticable?
16800Woman''s work is quite as dignified as man''s, and why should it not be arranged as carefully and systematically?
16800Would it not have been wiser as well as neater, for her to have plain, untrimmed underwear, and iron it without starching?
16800Would the game have been worth the candle?
16800Would what St. James graphically describes as"foaming out of their own shame,"finally froth itself into silence?
16800Yet what good will it do to point out to them their mistakes?
16800You''ll not be sending me away without one, peticklerly as''twas meself as give warnin''?"
16800_ Shall I pass it on?_ This is the moral question I would sift from what my readers may regard as trivial and commonplace details.
16800and to hold her own perpendicular in the aisle?
16800did you touch my foot?_''"The incident is essentially John- esque.
16800do you think it is pretty to do that?"
16800or what good comes from the remark that she is"sprightly, but not very deep?"
16800or"Is that so?"
16800quavered the little voice,"do n''t you think that is dreadful?"
16800what shall eclipse The pain of our childish woes?
16800with a long- drawn sigh of wretchedness,"is n''t it_ awful_ to be poor?"
13444''And yet your husband loves you?'' 13444 ''Can you talk with him upon this subject?''
13444''Do you think so?'' 13444 AND YOU, MOTHER, knowing the danger that besets your daughters at this critical period, are you justified in keeping silent?
13444How can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit?
13444Think you that good seed sown will bring forth bitter fruit? 13444 This is up- hill work,"said Jenny;"So is life,"said I;"shall we Climb it each alone, or, Jenny, Will you come and climb with me?"
13444Thunderstorms clear the atmosphere and promote vegetation; then why not Love- spats promote love, as they certainly often do?
13444WHAT IS IT, THEN, THAT USUALLY CAUSES distress to many women, whether a bride or a long- time wife?
13444***** SHALL PREGNANT WOMEN WORK?
13444***** WHERE DID THE BABY COME FROM?
13444A COMMON QUESTION.--The question is often asked,"Can Conception be prevented at all times?"
13444ADMIRED AND BELOVED.--Young lady, would you be admired and beloved?
13444Afraid of the girls, are you?
13444And what place is as secure as that chosen, where they can be reached only with the utmost difficulty, and than only as the peril of even life itself?
13444And why?
13444And, think you, that your son and daughter, later in life will make you their confidant as they ought?
13444Are jesters and buffoons your choice friends?
13444Are not such parents largely to blame?
13444Are the magistrates and the police powerless?
13444Are there not"as good fish in the sea as ever were caught?"
13444Are they not criminals in a high degree?
13444Are you a true, straightforward, manly fellow, with whose healthful and uncorrupted nature it is good for society to come in contact?
13444Are you able to make any return for social recognition and social privileges?
13444BRAINY ENOUGH.--What kind of women make the best wives?
13444Because you would rather be Mrs. Nobody, than make the effort to be Miss Somebody?
13444But how did you come to us, you dear?
13444CHARACTER OF ILLEGITIMATES.--Wherein, then, consists this difference?
13444CONCLUSION.--Would you, then, secure the love and trust of your wife, and become an object of her ever- growing tenderness and reverence?
13444CONFIDENCE AND EXPOSURE.--I hear some of you say, can not some influence be brought to bear upon this plague- spot?
13444Can maternity be natural when it is undesigned by the father or undesired by the mother?
13444Can not many now unhappy remember them as the beginning of that alienation which embittered your subsequent affectional cup, spoiled your lives?
13444Can you be held guiltless if your daughter ruins body and mind because you were too modest to tell her the laws of her being?
13444Do n''t say where are you stopping?
13444Do n''t say who may you be; say who are you?
13444Do women in all circles of society, when practicing these terrible crimes realize the real danger?
13444Do you blame me because I write so freely?
13444Do you know anything?
13444Do you love and seek the society of the wise and good?
13444Do you seek to be with the profane?
13444Do you, can you love me?
13444Does not this alone prove to us, conclusively, that there is a Divinity in the background governing, controlling and influencing our lives?
13444FATAL CONDITIONS.--What are all lovers''"spats"but disappointment in its very worst form?
13444FLIRTING JUST FOR FUN.--Who is the flirt, what is his reputation, motive, or character?
13444FOOLISH DREAD OF CHILDREN.--What is more deplorable and pitiable than an old couple childless?
13444Feet whence did you come, you darling things?
13444From what other source do or can they come?
13444George F. Hall says:"why not pay careful attention to man in all his elements of strength, physical, mental, and moral?
13444God has ordained that children should thus be brought into the world, do you call the works of God silly?
13444Had you rather take the lowest seat among these than the highest seat among others?
13444Have they not fouled their own nest, and transmitted to their children predisposition to moral evil?
13444Have you a good set of teeth, which you are willing to show whenever the wit of the company gets off a good thing?
13444Have you, young man, who are at home whining over the fact that you can not get into society, done anything to give you a claim to social recognition?
13444He who maims my person effects that which medicine may remedy; but what herb has sovereignty over the wounds of slander?
13444He who plunders my property takes from me that which can be repaired by time; but what period can repair a ruined reputation?
13444How can her own brothers and sisters associate with her?
13444How can you look an innocent girl in the face when you are degrading your manhood with the vilest practice?
13444How can you, my friend, secure for your person the loving care and respect of your wife?
13444How did they all come just to be you?
13444I wonder if you are as impatient to see me as I am to fly to you?
13444In other words, as a return for what you wish to have society do for you, what can you do for society?
13444In short, do you possess anything of any social value?
13444In what other can they?
13444Indeed, as ontaigne[ Transcriber''s note: Montaigne?]
13444Is it not both unwise and self- destructive; and in every way calculated to render your case, present and prospective, still more hopeless?
13444Is it that one false step which now constitutes the boundary between virtue and vice?
13444Is not this the only proper method, and the one most likely to result happily?
13444Is the law and moral right to continue to be trodden under foot?
13444Is there no relief for helpless women that are bound by the ties of marriage to men who are nothing but rotten corruption?
13444Is this your habit?
13444Let echo answer, What?
13444MOTHERS, DOES GOD THUS PUT the endowment of your darlings into your moulding power?
13444May I hope?
13444Nature has no secrets, and why should we?
13444Now what think you of this"seeing life?"
13444Now, if in such conditions men beget their children, who can affect surprise if they develop licentious tendencies?
13444Now, what law has been broken, to induce this penalty?
13444Of the throng that struggle at the gates of entrance, how many may reach their anticipated goal?
13444Oh, Laura, can you love me in return?
13444On a sunny Summer morning, Early as the dew was dry, Up the hill I went a berrying; Need I tell you-- tell you why?
13444Or is this the way either to retrieve your past loss, or provide for the future?
13444Or rather, the discovery of that false step?
13444RETRIEVE YOUR PAST LOSS.--Do sun, moon, and stars indeed rise and set in your loved one?
13444SOCIETY OF THE VULGAR.--Do you love the society of the vulgar?
13444SUFFERING WOMEN.--Who can be astonished at the many unhappy marriages, if he knows how unworthy most men are of their wives?
13444Shall other animals rear nearly all their young, and shall man, constitutionally by far the strongest of them all, lose half or more of his?
13444TELLING THEIR LOVE.--The generality of the sex is, love to be loved; how are they to know the fact that they are loved unless they are told?
13444THE FIRST LESSONS.--Should you be asked by your four or five- year old,"Mamma, where did you get me?"
13444THE PENALTIES FOR LOST VIRTUE.--Can the harlot be welcomed where either children, brothers, sisters, wife, or husband are found?
13444THE SECOND LESSON.--The second lesson came with the question,"But_ where_ is the nest?"
13444TOO OFTEN THE HUSBAND thinks only of his personal gratification; he insists upon what he calls his rights(?
13444The corset more than any other one thing is responsible for woman''s being the victim of disease and doctors...."What is the effect upon the child?
13444The principle is the same; and if the principle is right, why not multiply methods?
13444The stars live in the harmony of love, and why should not we, too, love each other?"
13444Then by what?
13444To whom can you introduce her?
13444WHAT ARE YOU GOOD FOR?--Are you a good beau, and are you willing to make yourself useful in waiting on the ladies on all occasions?
13444WHY NOT MATRIMONY?]
13444What can you say concerning her?
13444What is the result?
13444What kind of coin do you propose to pay in the discharge of the obligation which comes upon you with social recognition?
13444What makes your cheek like a warm, white rose?
13444What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
13444What man is there who can not trace the origin of many of the best maxims of his life to the lips of her who gave him birth?
13444What plummet can sound the depths of a woman''s fall who has become a harlot?
13444What power shall blanch the sullied show of character?
13444What rendered him thus perfect?
13444What rounded off his natural asperities, and moulded up his virtues?
13444What will be his fate in life?]
13444When will mothers awake from their lethargy?
13444Whence that three- cornered smile of bliss?
13444Where did you come from, baby dear?
13444Where did you get that little tear?
13444Where did you get the eyes so blue?
13444Where did you get this pretty ear?
13444Where did you get those arms and hands?
13444While now--(will God forgive me?)
13444Who can redeem it lost?
13444Who can tell how much this state of things is due to the enervation of maternal life forces by the one instrument of torture?
13444Who shall quarrel with the Divinely implanted instinct, or declare it to be vulgar or unmentionable?
13444Who shall repair it injured?
13444Who will dare question that this mother''s effort to destroy him while in embryo was the main cause in bringing him to the level of the brutes?
13444Who will not confess the influence of a mother in forming the heart of a child?
13444Why Bring Into the World Idiots, Fools, Criminals and Lunatics?
13444Why have I found grace in thine eyes that thou shouldest take knowledge of me, seeing I am a stranger?"
13444Why marry at all if not to found a family that shall live to bless and make glad the earth after father and mother are gone?
13444Why may not lying be as legitimately cured by blisters made with hot coals as by black and blue spots made with a ruler or whip?
13444Why should we do less?
13444Will she ask mamma whether it is ever proper to sit in her lover''s lap?
13444Will the legislature or congress do nothing?
13444Will you kindly favor me with a testimonial as to my character, ability and conduct while at Boston Normal School?
13444Will you love her selfish, shirking, calculating nature after twenty years of close companionship?
13444Will you trifle with the dearest interests of your children?
13444Wilt thou, then, Spurn at His edict, and fulfill a man''s?
13444With assumed harshness the lady asks her lover: Who are you, and what do you want?
13444With what inherent repulsion do you look back upon them?
13444Would you be an ornament to your sex, and a blessing to your race?
13444[ Illustration: THE TWO PATHS-- WHAT WILL THE GIRL BECOME?
13444[ Illustration: THE TWO PATHS-- What Will The Boy Become?
13444and can you not catch them?
13444because his earnest manly consecrated life is a mighty power on God''s side?
13444because she is pitiful to the sinful, tender to the sorrowful, capable, self- reliant, modest, true- hearted?
13444because you feel you can not live without him?
13444because you have a great empty place in your head and heart that nothing but a man can fill?
13444in brief, because she is the embodiment of all womanly virtues?
13444is this the order of nature?
13444say where are you staying?
13444which think you is the most sensible and fraught with the least danger to your darling boy or girl?
8660But are you willing to do that or to allow it to be done?
8660Can I rely upon this? 8660 And can there be any doubt that they acquiesced in the practice of infanticide as a means to that end? 8660 And does not the fact that the women in question do enjoy such influence, point unmistakably to the motive behind the practice? 8660 Are overburdened mothers justified in their appeals for contraceptives or abortions? 8660 Are we doing anything genuinely constructive to overcome this situation? 8660 Are we now producing a freer, juster, more intelligent, more idealistic, creative people out of the varied ingredients here? 8660 Are you horrified at the record set down in this chapter? 8660 But what of the family of the wealthy or the merely well- to- do? 8660 But why not adopt the easier, safer, less repulsive course and prevent conception altogether? 8660 CHAPTER IX CONTINENCE-- IS IT PRACTICABLE OR DESIRABLE? 8660 CHAPTER VII WHEN SHOULD A WOMAN AVOID HAVING CHILDREN? 8660 CHAPTER VIII BIRTH CONTROL-- A PARENTS''PROBLEM OR WOMAN''S? 8660 CHAPTER X CONTRACEPTIVES OR ABORTION? 8660 CHAPTER XI ARE PREVENTIVE MEANS CERTAIN? 8660 CHAPTER XII WILL BIRTH CONTROL HELP THE CAUSE OF LABOR? 8660 CHAPTER XVIII THE GOAL What is the goal of woman''s upward struggle? 8660 Can a mother who wouldrather die"than bear more children serve society by bearing still others?
8660Can anyone knowing the facts ask that we recommend continence as a birth- control measure?
8660Do these elements give promise of a better race?
8660Do we better it by driving out of the immigrant''s heart the dream of liberty that brought him to our shores?
8660Do we not find the children of the South filling the mills, working side by side with their mothers, while the fathers remain at home?
8660Do we not find the father, mother and child competing with one another for their daily bread?
8660Do we want more such families?
8660Do we want the millions of abortions performed annually to be multiplied?
8660Do we want the precious, tender qualities of womanhood, so much needed for our racial development, to perish in these sordid, abnormal experiences?
8660Does any physician believe that the picture is overdrawn?
8660Does anyone believe that physicians and midwives who perform abortions go from door to door soliciting patronage?
8660Does anyone imagine that a woman would submit to abortion if not denied the knowledge of scientific, effective contraceptives?
8660Does it educate them for free- spirited manhood and womanhood?
8660Does it even give them during their babyhood fit places to live in, fit clothes to wear, fit food to eat, or a clean place to play?
8660Does it even permit the mother to give them a mother''s care?
8660Does it not drive the girls to prostitution and the boys to crime?
8660Does it not drive them to the factories, the mills, the mines and the stores to be stunted physically and mentally?
8660Does it not let them die by the hundreds of thousands of want, hunger and preventable disease?
8660Does it not throw them into the labor market to be competitors with her and their father?
8660Does society not herd them in slums?
8660Does society value her offspring?
8660Does this picture horrify the reader?
8660From what sort of homes come these deaths from childbirth?
8660How do they live?
8660IX CONTINENCE-- IS IT PRACTICABLE OR DESIRABLE?
8660If the hope is founded upon realities, how may it be realized?
8660In what direction does our national civilization bend their ideals?
8660Is it any wonder that under handicaps like these labor becomes confused and flounders?
8660Is it certain?
8660Is it general freedom?
8660Is it voluntary motherhood?
8660Is there an answer for women like me?"
8660Is this woman standing guard for the general welfare?
8660Knowing the bitter truth, learned in unspeakable anguish, what shall this woman say to society?
8660Or is it the birth of a new race?
8660Or would it be the better policy to let motherhood follow its instinct to save itself, its offspring and society from these ills?
8660Or, do we wish to permit woman to find her way to fundamental freedom through safe, unobjectionable, scientific means?
8660Rather, shall she not say that until society puts a higher value upon motherhood she will not be a mother?
8660Shall normal, safe, effective contraceptives be employed, or shall we continue to force women to the abnormal, often dangerous surgical operation?
8660Shall she go on breeding children who can only suffer and die?
8660Shall she go on having children who come into being with a heritage of ill health and poverty, and who are bound to become public burdens?
8660Shall she say to society that she will go on multiplying the misery that she herself has endured?
8660Shall this woman continue to be forced into a life of unnatural continence which further aggravates her ill health and produces constant discord?
8660Shall we look to her to strike the first blow which shall wrench her sisters from the grip of the dead hand of the past?
8660Shall we pause here to speak again of the rights of womanhood, in itself and of itself, to be absolutely free?
8660The question that society must answer is this: Shall family limitation be achieved through birth control or abortion?
8660The sole question that society has to answer is, how shall women be permitted to attain this end?
8660These conditions-- not the woman-- outface society with this question:"Contraceptives or Abortion-- which shall it be?"
8660VIII BIRTH CONTROL-- A PARENTS''PROBLEM OR WOMAN''S?
8660What are the concrete things which the worker can gain at once through birth control?
8660What are the fruits of this woeful ignorance in which women have been kept?
8660What can we expect of offspring that are the result of"accidents"--who are brought into being undesired and in fear?

22343Amid so many possibilities of fatal mistake, am I not right in urging you to seek the unerring wisdom of God, and before you are infatuated?
22343And I looked around, and I said;"Are we all here?"
22343And I went into the chapel of the great town, and I said:"Where do the poor worship, and where are the hard benches on which they sit?"
22343And as the Lord of Righteousness puts the crown upon your brow, angel will cry to angel,"Who is she?"

22343Oh, are there not some of you who are freighting all your loves and joys and hopes upon a vessel which shall never reach the port of heaven?

22343Suppose you that the gigantic forgeries which have been enacted in this country would ever have taken place if the wife had been consulted?
22343The omnipotent God left His throne in heaven one day, and if the question was asked,"Whither is the King of the Universe going?"
22343The room may be very humble, and the faces that look into ours may be very plain; but who cares for that?

33416At a café?
33416At a club?
33416But what about this world?
33416But why does she wear red?
33416But, my dear lady correspondent, are you going to tell that man honestly on what terms you are going to marry him?
33416But, out of one hundred women, will you find one who will not be of opinion that mother is foremost?
33416By the way, would not, perchance, that man be the''juvenile lead''who acts in the romantic drama which is being played every day in your city?

33416CHAPTER XXXIV IS HOMOEOPATHY A CURE FOR LOVE?
33416Ca n''t you be precise?
33416Can we for a moment suppose society without her?
33416Could n''t you now and then tell us something of what you think of men, especially in their relations with women?
33416Could such a genius as Balzac be accused of plagiarism because he expressed a thought practically in the very words of La Bruyère?
33416Did he even try to shield woman after the offence was committed?
33416Do men mean to say that loyalty and sincerity should not be or could not be expected to be found in women?
33416Do we not love Burns and Shelley?
33416Do you want my hair to fall over my neck and shoulders to- morrow like weeping willows?
33416Do you want my hands to be red and chappy?
33416Had he even the power of resistance?
33416Has a royal escapade of recent date, like a''penny dreadful,''created a disturbance in your otherwise well- balanced mind?
33416He does not say to the animal,''I like you; I will treat you better than your master; will you come with me?''
33416He goes out when he likes, where he likes, and would never think of asking her,''Wo n''t you come along?''
33416He, too, would like a little change of air; but what''s the matter with father?
33416How can they know if you are careful in concealing paper money under cover?
33416How could I be unfaithful to you if you loved me?
33416How could it be possible for me to prefer any other to you?
33416How is it that she so rarely avails herself of it when she is wrong?
33416How is it that you receive him in your club, welcome him in your house, and not uncommonly congratulate him on his good fortune?
33416How many appreciate it?
33416How many ever realize what it is?
33416I confess that I am a little tired, and I will say so frankly, of continually hearing such phrases as''What is home without a mother?''
33416I should like to use an Americanism and ask,''Now, pray, what''s the matter with father?''
33416I wonder if the poor darling is consumptive?
33416I wonder if there is anything wrong?''
33416IS HOMOEOPATHY A CURE FOR LOVE?
33416IS WOMAN INFERIOR TO MAN?
33416If he should hear complaints from her he has a beautiful phrase ready for an answer:''What did my mother do?
33416If she is sometimes the cause of a crime, is she not always the cause of the most heroic deeds performed by man?
33416If so, how dare you leave unpunished the man who takes it away from them?
33416If so, in what doses?
33416In what awful set do you move?''
33416Is he your confessor, your doctor, your music- teacher, your dancing- master?
33416Is it a manly occupation to be assistant in a draper''s store, to be a hairdresser, copyist, to make women''s dresses, hats, corsets?
33416Is it to give that child a good digestion?
33416Is man more intelligent than woman?
33416Is not woman the direct or indirect motive for all our actions?
33416Is not, after all, pure whiteness incomparable?
33416Is not_ Tess_ of Thomas Hardy another?
33416Is she not the embodiment of the beautiful, and therefore the mother of Art?
33416Is that a reason for not going to see her play Phedre, Tosca, Fedora, or any other of her marvellous creations?
33416Kendal?''
33416May not the question resolve itself into the following: Of old bachelors and old maids, which are the happier?
33416NOW, WHAT''S THE MATTER WITH FATHER?
33416No, the world is not so bad as that; you will return, wo n''t you?''
33416Now, are you aware that we never fall in love madly except with people whom we can not marry?
33416Now, can you answer the question more easily?
33416Now, do you believe that all those learned, bearded philosophers and theologians encouraged her, applauded her?
33416Now, here is a problem if you like: Can matrimony be administered as an antidote?
33416Now, is this really the case?
33416Oh, why?''
33416Personally, I think the question practically amounts to this: Which would you rather be, a man or a woman?
33416SHALL LOVE BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY?
33416SHOULD YOUNG GIRLS READ NOVELS?
33416Shall I be able to keep the love of a man so handsome, so kind, so clever?
33416She is beautiful, no doubt, but what is her beauty compared to yours?
33416She took an infallible drug-- a rather unpleasant one, it is true; but what is that compared to the benefit derived from it?
33416Should I make such a remark if my love was intense?
33416Should I marry another man who is now seeking my hand, who can offer me a very good position, but whom I do not love?''
33416So I ventured:''So you think that now English women can obtain in London dresses just as pretty as women can in Paris and New York?
33416So you look at him and add:''Oh, you know her, then?''
33416Tell me if the bumptious rose does not generally carry the day over the modest, retiring violet?''
33416That is the lot of many men-- may I not even say of most husbands?
33416Then why, in the name of common- sense, do we expect to find in women virtues that demand a strength of which we men are not capable?
33416They hate him, but as he is content with smiling, and goes no further, what are they to do?
33416They laugh at their anecdotes heartily, and invite you to do so with such a suggestion as''That''s a good one, is n''t it?''
33416To good health and careful living, I suppose?''
33416To plunge_ in medias res_, Are men fair to women?
33416True, beauty does not last for ever; but who would think of singing the praises of ugliness because it does last?
33416Very well, will you listen to me?
33416WHAT IS GENIUS?
33416WHICH SEX WOULD YOU CHOOSE TO BE?
33416WOMEN LOVE BETTER THAN MEN 16 V. IS WOMAN A RESPONSIBLE BEING?
33416Was I a brute for making it before her?
33416What business has she to be well?
33416What did your mother do?
33416What do I care about that?
33416What do I care if this enabled him to write''Lohengrin,''''Tannhäuser,''and the Trilogy?
33416What does it matter so long as it is not some materials for sale or any other commercial purpose?
33416What happens then?
33416What is her perfume?
33416What is her shape compared to your glorious figure?
33416What of that?
33416What''s the matter with father?
33416When you are in an Italian shop and you ask the price of an article you wish to buy, say to the man''_ Quanto_?''
33416Where are you going to stop yourself?''
33416Which of us, my dear fellow- men, has not admired a woman of ours whose toilet was finished?
33416Who ate the apple?
33416Who has not been able to translate a pressure from a woman''s hand by''stay''or''go''?
33416Who is the Philistine who dares utter such blasphemy?
33416Why do I say was?
33416Why do they not consult and listen to the advice of married lady friends, choosing those who are happy, of course?
33416Why does a grandmother indulge a young child, give it sweets and candies?
33416Why in the world do you want £ 5 now?''
33416Why is n''t he sick, too?
33416Why should it not be priceless in the eyes of a man who loves his wife?
33416Why should men who deceive women be received by it with open arms?
33416Why should not books be reviewed in the same way?
33416Why should not women get all this?
33416Why should she?
33416Why should they not be reviewed and criticised by the author or the publisher?
33416Why will young girls leave it to their imagination to find out what married life is?
33416Why?
33416Why?
33416Why?
33416Will you tell me, is there any way to please you?
33416Would life be worth living without the sweet presence of kind, cheerful, and amiable women?
33416Would you seriously accuse Thomas Hardy and George Eliot of plagiarism, and say that they owed their plots to Goethe''s''_ Faust_''?
33416X. is very beautiful, is n''t she?''
33416Yet, can I tell her that?
33416Yet, is not my wife my most valuable property?''
33416and of a hundred women,''What is the ideal husband?''
33416who on earth can you be?
40481And what is your last name?
40481And which place do you like best, Johnny?
40481And you do n''t have to pay for anything?
40481But what else can we do?
40481But why not the private nursery,--the sunny room for the child and his toys? 40481 Call what?
40481Can you not get them as easily, dear?
40481Did n''t you ever see the walking- stick one? 40481 Do you like bugs?"
40481Does your child walk better if you make his shoes for him?
40481If not trained to obedience, what shall the child be trained to?
40481Is it open always?
40481Is not this also descending to the plane of childishness, of savagery, to which you were just now objecting?
40481Mabel, will you please bring me down the largest needle on my cushion?
40481Now what will you have?
40481We will have some to- morrow,she promises; and, to distract him from thought of the impossible,"Wo n''t you have a chop?"
40481What do you call this, anyhow?
40481What is the difference between this and the other method?
40481What kind o''bugs?
40481What would you like, dear?
40481What yer talkin''about, anyway?
40481Why?
40481Why?
40481Yes,--but the whole place,--is it a park?
40481And to the mother,--what good will this do her?
40481And what, in close analysis, is obedience?
40481And, if a virtue, is it always and equally so?
40481And, if it does, will that make them disinclined to be nurse- maids?
40481Are our methods with children those which best fit men and women for doing their share to maintain and develope human life?
40481Are they the qualities we wish to develope in American citizens?
40481But can she?
40481But could we do that?
40481But is it?
40481But is this so essential quality in rearing young animals as essential in human education?
40481But why need we add to this the difficulty of making the child dislike the work?
40481Can she cut her darling''s hair so as to make him happy?
40481Can she make a good chair or table or book or window?
40481Can she, with all her love, make as good a shoe as the shoemaker?
40481Can the average woman successfully manage the mingled industries of her household and the education of her children?
40481Could anything prove more clearly our lack of just appreciation of the importance of childhood?
40481Do n''t you love mamma?
40481Do we put baby''s cap on grandma, and then make fun of the old lady''s looks?
40481Do you expect me to add a child- size house in the back yard?
40481Do you know how to build with bricks?
40481Do you think it is fair to call me downstairs just to say that?"
40481Does he gain in it?
40481Does mother- love teach her to be a good barber?
40481Does not the very conception of justice involve a third party, some one to hold the scales, to balance, to decide?
40481Does the best care of a child require the concentrated and unremittent devotion of an entire mother?
40481During what part of this time can the household labourer give due attention to the child?
40481Grey?"
40481He inquires,"Why?"
40481He says,"Why?"
40481How does a society improve?
40481How does she justify her brutal behaviour?
40481How does the intelligent adult treat the stranger within his gates?
40481How far does the duty of the State extend, and how much should be left to individual responsibility?
40481How is an unwhipped child to know what whipping means?
40481How much self- control has my Johnny, as measured by his age?--as compared with others of his age?
40481If a parent loses his temper and talks foolishly, how can a child respect this weakness?
40481If he sees that she thinks only of him, lives only for him, what is he to learn by it?
40481If there is no slipper, why not tip over the work- basket: if there is no policeman, why not steal?
40481In highest success, this produces the heavy child, whining,"What shall I do now?"
40481In the first place, what are my objections to the nurse- maid now?
40481In what way can we reach the child''s range of reasoning, and convince him of the desirability of this artificial code of ours?
40481Is it on the obvious ground of physical superiority in age and strength?
40481Is it"natural"for a mother to submit her children to the instruction of other extra- maternal persons?
40481Is it?
40481Is no modesty becoming a period of life when experience has given some measure to merit?
40481Is not that enough?"
40481Is our term used with reference to a period of development,"natural"motherhood, meaning primitive, savage motherhood?
40481Is the child to sit in a chair, lie down, or ride the bicycle continually?
40481Is this capacity of submission of sufficient value to the human race to be called a virtue?
40481May we not gently pursue the theme?
40481Must a home be shabby and bare?
40481Now is it"natural"for a mother to take no part in getting food for children?
40481Now what is the attitude of the family toward this new- comer?
40481Now what is the matter with the nurse- maid?
40481Now where was I?
40481Now why,--in the name of reason, courtesy, education, justice, any lofty and noble consideration,--why should Two- and- a- half be thus insulted?
40481Now will the training school make ladies-- or, at least, partial ladies-- of our nurse- maids?
40481Now, once for all, what is the advantage of living in a society instead of living alone?
40481On what characteristics does our human pre- eminence rest?
40481Or can we arrange the position of the nurse- maid, so that ladies will be willing to take it?
40481Or is it sufficient education to watch a servant at work, and to help a little when one is old enough?
40481Or must the child be confined to his bed?
40481Or only of her?
40481Or only of his children?
40481Or would he be willing to engage a man who had so little fitness for the profession of tutor as to be content to act as janitor also?
40481See the way he''s painted?
40481She does her duty, living there with her mother in the capacity of-- of what?
40481Should it be added to the public- school system,--open to all girls,--perhaps compulsory?
40481Suppose Mr. Jones steals a cow from Mr. Smith, is Mr. Smith capable of being himself both judge and executioner?
40481That position makes it very easy for mamma as long as"childish faith"endures; but how does it help the man she has reared in this idyllic falsehood?
40481The mother who now says,"What would you do with a child like that?"
40481The nursery and the nurse are essential to the baby; but what kind of nursery and nurse are most desirable?
40481The vigorous functional activity of the young brain cries out against it; and the child says,"Why?"
40481The"practical"question will now arise,"Who is to pay for all this?"
40481There is no more aimless asking,"What shall I do now?"
40481They must respect their elders even in this pitiful attitude; but who is to demand the respect due to youth?
40481This being a clearly established fact, why have we not profited by it?
40481To think only of himself?
40481To which we merely rejoin,"Does she?"
40481What are the qualities developed by house- service?
40481What can the parent say?
40481What does little Albert learn?
40481What does that simple saying mean?
40481What does the intelligent parent expect?
40481What have the mothers ever done to prevent these diseases?
40481What is a society?
40481What is it for?
40481What is it that our children need?
40481What is it to obey?
40481What is it we have done so patiently and faithfully all these years to every one of the human race which has injured the natural working of the brain?
40481What is the point of view of the insulter?
40481What is the real difference between Jessie''s position and Christine''s?
40481What is this mistake?
40481What is to be done to the naughty child?
40481What is"a virtue"?
40481What is"obedience"?
40481What methods of discipline are in general use in the rearing of children?
40481What mother has taken any steps to prevent these accidents?
40481What should be done to help Johnny gain in self- control?
40481What sort of mother do we praise as natural, and what sort do we blame as"unnatural"?
40481What thought, what care, what service, does the average mother give to other people''s children?
40481What''s that got to do with bugs?"
40481When did I first notice self- control in Johnny?
40481When have I seen it greatest?
40481When is mamma not busy?
40481Where is the child to run to?
40481Who shall have it?
40481Why are we so lacking in the respect due to youth?
40481Why can not a grown person advance to make the acquaintance of a child with the same good manners used in meeting an adult?
40481Why do women imagine that their time, strength, and skill severally will serve better than in combination?
40481Why not a public nursery and a public nurse?
40481Why not apply study, criticism, suggestion, and experiment to motherhood, and make some progress there?
40481Why not provide for them a place where their natural activities would not be injurious, but educational?
40481Why seek to rear young creatures in a place where they must do mischief if they behave differently from grown people?
40481Why should a baby be surrounded with these superfluous evils?
40481Why should it now?
40481Why should we jeer at a baby more than at an old person?
40481Why should we not be at some pains to prepare him for these experiences?
40481Why should we take liberties with the person of a child other than those suitable to an intimate friendship at any age?
40481Why should youth be modest?
40481Why would n''t it be a good thing for all girls to know something of the care of children?
40481Why, then, are they so certain that they can teach the babies better than trained baby- teachers?
40481Why?
40481Will the training schools make them honourable?
40481Will you have some gravy?"
40481Would I want my sister Jessie to be a nurse- maid?
40481Would he be willing to spare the time required to fill the janitor''s position from the time required to fill the tutor''s position?
40481Would he think these industries and the society of the persons engaged in them good educational influences?
40481Would such a man be willing to engage a tutor who was also a janitor?
40481as good a hair- brush, tooth- brush, tumbler, teacup, pie- plate, spoon, fork, or knife, as the professional manufacturers of these things?
40481or to call the doctor when they are sick, engage the dentist to fill their teeth, and hire persons to help take care of them?
40481or,"What would you do with such a child as that?"
40481will you please get me the scissors?"
33285''Am I the man as wants a gentleman to drive him?''
33285''Am I the man as wants a gentleman to drive him?''
33285''And what have you read?''
33285''Before I go, ca n''t you say something nice about matrimony?''
33285''But if a wife makes a man happy, that alone surely helps him?''
33285''But who is going to keep the dear fellow while he is painting in Paris?
33285''But,''she said,''you do not answer my question-- Does marriage help a man?''
33285''Can you imagine, for instance, a respectable woman submitting to an examination by a man?''
33285''Did I not tell you so?''
33285''Do n''t you want to read it yourself?''
33285''Do you see,''she was saying to me one day,''I have renounced all my worldly ideas?
33285''Have n''t you a grandma?''
33285''I take it,''said my lady interlocutor,''that you do not advocate marriage for the rising poet, painter, dramatist, or novelist?''
33285''If you please; but are there not cases----''''And cream?''
33285''Must I?''
33285''My sister,''I said,''sweet and beautiful as you are, how is it that you never married?''
33285''N''est- ce pas que c''est bon d''être ensemble?''
33285''No?
33285''Surely women can do much to inspire, to encourage a man, whatever his work may be?''
33285''Thank you, with pleasure; but does marriage----''''Do you take sugar?''
33285''Then you do not admit the existence of the man who needs the quiet sympathy of a good domestic wife before his art becomes fully articulate?''
33285''Well, a doctor, for instance?''
33285''Well,''I said,''yes, I see what you mean, but how do you know that the girl would have cared to marry a blind man?
33285''What do we do?''
33285''What is a lady?''
33285''What''s that you have on?''
33285''Will you always love me?''
33285''Will you have a cup of tea?''
33285''You want to be learned?

3328580 CHAPTER XIX DO WOMEN DRESS TO PLEASE MEN?
33285After all, what is beauty, considered as an incentive to love?
33285After that, how is it possible to feel any security about him?
33285An English mother has no authority over her son: how could she dream of having any over a son- in- law?
33285And now, where is that New Woman to be found?
33285And on this subject another question might be put: Should a woman prefer to marry a man to whom woman is an enigma?
33285And then, what will become of the human race?
33285And who better than a grandmother will submit to the tyranny of a child?
33285And who is the man who is such a strict monogamist that he can not admire-- in a platonic way, of course-- other women besides the one he loves?
33285And who is the woman who is not aware of that?
33285And why?
33285And, besides, between ourselves, do you not practically make your husbands vote pretty much as you please in all the parliaments of the world?
33285And, you will say, at what age should a man marry?
33285At last the husband one day received the following telegram:''Mother dead; shall we have her embalmed, cremated, or buried?''
33285Beauty, then?
33285But are you not satisfied with knowing that it was a woman who was the cause of the fall of the human race?
33285But how can she?
33285But what about the good, worthy masses of the people, say, at least nine- tenths of the populations of America and England?
33285But, some people will say, is not an artistic temperament conducive to unfaithfulness?
33285By the way, what is that stuff they make in England which you told me is so good for the skin?''

33285How could I imagine for a single moment that you were not?''
33285How do you account for your existence?
33285How is the art of ruling a husband to be learned?
33285How old was Sister Gabrielle?
33285I thoroughly believe that the French women are the most charming and certainly the most sensible women( where would France be now but for the women?
33285If his wife has been good to him and she is still young when he dies, why should he condemn her to solitude for the rest of her days?
33285If you doubt it, listen to what they say, and you will constantly hear them repeat:''Do you love me?''
33285In a clever article, Lady Violet Greville recently asked,''What is a lady?''
33285In a melodrama he would, but will_ he_?
33285In other words, does gratitude engender love?
33285Is it not the ambition of every French provincial mother?
33285Is it that the fashion of the day requires the train to be so long that there remains no material to make a corsage with?
33285Is it the white lawn, or is it a beauty that the self- denying life lends to them which makes the faces of so many of those women look so lovely?
33285Is there any other country where you see so many women''s clubs?
33285Is there any other country where you will find women able to enjoy life without the companionship of men?
33285Malo?''
33285May I come to see you and the old place if ever I find myself in these latitudes again?''
33285Money?
33285Now, ladies, what do you want?
33285Now, tell me----''''What I think of the Paris Exposition?''
33285Now, what have they done that they should be the butts for the jokes that are made at their expense?
33285Now, what should be done by sensible parents to such a wicked little boy?
33285Now, what should influence him most in that choice?
33285Now, what will especially help a man and woman to find happiness in love?
33285Now, which is right?
33285Now, you understand, I was not allowed to stop; but I took breath, and I said to her:''Does not your papa tell you long stories on Sundays?''
33285Of a scientific turn of mind?
33285Of an artistic nature, then, with literary tastes?
33285On the other hand, an English author who had failed to be appreciated by the public might say:''What can you expect from the British public?''
33285Only I must warn you that if a man put this question to his wife, she would probably say to him at once:''Jack, which of the two are you guilty of?''
33285P.S.--Did I hear you ask whether I have been married?
33285Pretty?
33285Punctual?
33285Quite true; but could you find many men who would have been happy by taking to wife any one of the ladies I have just mentioned?
33285Serious?
33285Should a woman marry a woman- hater?
33285Should couples study each other''s characters during a long period of engagement?
33285Should she be beautiful?
33285So they should; but how many of them would behave in the same manner if such a letter from a woman came to their husband?
33285Still, why not?
33285That is just what you would expect, now, do n''t you think so?
33285To the question, Do women dress to please men?
33285Ugliness?
33285Was he not an advocate, and could he not always return to his profession if painting should fail him?
33285Was it not in America that I heard the following story?
33285What does it matter?
33285What endless chats we will have, wo n''t we?''
33285What good does it do to him, when he is under the grass, to have his wife lonely and miserable?
33285What has become of the old motto_ Noblesse oblige_?
33285What is that new supreme desire to pass for a lady?
33285What more does she want?--the Victoria Cross or the Legion of Honour?
33285What, then?
33285When friends said to her,''Why not travel a little?
33285When, finally, that minister says to her,''Wilt thou have this man to be thy wedded husband?
33285Who knows?
33285Who says that the world is sad?
33285Who shall be the first to do it?
33285Who would dare?
33285Why should they provoke the sarcasms and excite the scorn of men instead of their pity or, at all events, their kind sympathy?
33285Why?
33285Will he be able to behold her with the wig off, and say to her:''I love you just the same?''
33285Will he love her still when he sees her, or will he go away from her?
33285Will he marry her?
33285Will his love be powerful enough to overlook the loss of woman''s best ornament on his sweetheart''s head?
33285Will not a man with an artistic temperament, for example, constantly have new''artistic''aspirations, and constantly fall in love with beauty?
33285Wilt thou obey him and serve him, love, honour him?''
33285Women''s clubs?
33285Would any of you deny that the American women are the most beautiful women in the world?
33285Yes, but how many will remain married?
33285You come from that part of the country, do n''t you?
33285You say to yourself,''Will it be Yes or No?
33285You want to be free?
33285You want to have more influence in the higher councils?
33285You want to make the laws?
33285You would like to get transferred to St. Malo, would you not?
33285and what is it the Yellow- Ribbon Army do?''
33285and why not?
33285how could they be hopeful of success when, after ten years of married life, they often discover they were not made for each other?
33285is it, though?
33285is that all?''
33285or rather, which of the two began?
33285or''How long will you love me?''
33285said the first young girl,''does your mother allow you to read French novels?
33285that a woman has been the cause of every great catastrophe, from the Siege of Troy down to the Franco- Prussian War?
33285that, in a word, woman has ever inspired our noblest actions and our foulest crimes?
33285who would have thought so?"''
10516Are n''t the colors pretty?
10516Are n''t you going to dinner, mamma?
10516Boy, what does it mean?
10516But is it to your will simply_ as_ will that he is to yield? 10516 But what would you do,"said I,"if he were to refuse to ask to be excused?"
10516Do n''t you see that you are right in my light? 10516 Do you think I shall say it to- day?"
10516Do you think he could,she replied,"when he sees that I am only trying to save him from pain?"
10516Do you want me to show you how you are sitting?
10516Is the table a good one?
10516Little boy,said I, solemnly,"do you see that sign?"
10516Mamma, are you sure I shall ever say it?
10516May I trouble you for that cricket?
10516Oh, excuse me, but your head is between me and the light: could you see as well if you moved a little?
10516Oh, mamma, mamma,cried Blue Eyes,"ca n''t I have my little tea- set on a little table beside your big table?
10516Please, ma''am, wo n''t you buy a basket?
10516Was there ever such an awkward child?
10516Well, dear?
10516What can I do?
10516What do_ you_ think?
10516What is there to do to- day?
10516What, then?
10516Where do you sell the most?
10516Why must I?
10516Why?
10516Will you allow your children to stay at this party until half- past eleven?
10516Will you have the apple, or the orange? 10516 Will you have the horseback ride to- day, or the opera to- morrow night?
10516Wo n''t you come under my umbrella?
10516Would it hinder you too long to stop at the store for me? 10516 Would you be so very kind as to close that window?"
10516You do not, surely, suppose I think you are responsible for it, do you?
10516_ Will_ you sit still for one minute?
10516--can any words measure the difference between the first treatment and the second?
10516A very few minutes of this were more than I could bear; and, almost crying, I said,"Why, mamma, what makes you do so?"
10516All the other children go; and what can I do?"
10516And how much better off are they who never threw a stone in their lives than the rude mob who throw them all the time?
10516And in cases where the wares are simply stolen, shall there be no redress?
10516And looking past this spectacle, out of our windows, how is it that we do not each rainy day weep with pleasure at sight of the glistening show?
10516And there are poverty and sickness, and there is not time?
10516And to whose later thought has it not occurred that in this mimic little show lay bound up the whole of life?
10516And who wants to throw stones?
10516And, after all, what would the sacrifice of even two days be, in comparison with the time saved in years to come?
10516And, as for words, who shall express their feebleness in midst of strength?
10516Are not all cherubs such as he?"
10516Are we not decked in the whole of color, feasted on all that shape and sound and flavor can give?
10516Are we not wiser each moment than we were the moment before?
10516Art and science, are they not our slaves,--coining money and running mills?
10516As I followed on, I heard the two children, who were walking behind, saying to each other,"Would n''t that have been too bad?
10516At what hour, or day, may I look for you?"
10516But how much of what is written, printed, and read to- day about the men and women of to- day comes under these heads?
10516But if the trade must continue, can we not insist that the profits be shared?
10516But what shall we say of the old- clothes mongers in journalism?
10516But who could bear a mixture of both?
10516But who lives in any thing else, nowadays?
10516But why say it?
10516But why, having once learned to speak, does the baby leave off speaking when it becomes a man or a woman?
10516But"what can she do?"
10516But, because one has a goal, must one be torn by poisoned spurs?
10516Ca n''t you see that there is not room enough for two people here?"
10516Can it be possible that all this comfort and economy for lodgers are compatible with profits for landlords?
10516Can we be sure of living as long as they live?
10516Can we stand by, each minute of each hour of each day, and say to the automata, Go here, or Go there?
10516Can we wind them up like seventy- year clocks, and leave them?
10516Dare we think what would be the formula in statement of spiritual life which would be correlative to the"law of continuity"?
10516Did you think I had done my dinner this afternoon when I got excused?
10516Do many people feel what a wonderful thing it is that each human being is born into the world with his own smile?
10516Do not the blind see, the deaf hear, and the crippled dance?
10516Do we?
10516Every few minutes he would come and stand before her, and say very earnestly,"Are you sure I shall say it?"
10516Face to face with a joy, a sorrow, would a symphony avail us?
10516For several years he used often to allude to the affair, saying,"Do you remember, mamma, that dreadful time when I would n''t say G?"
10516For what reason is he to do this?"
10516Give him a comfortable seat?
10516Give him some honey, even if there is not enough to go round?
10516Has not Nature surrendered to us?
10516Has not living become subject to a magician''s"presto"?
10516Have we not built and multiplied religions, till each man, even the most irreligious, can have his own?
10516He is tired and cold; he does not want to study-- who would?
10516Her uniform atmosphere of contentedness so impressed and surprised me that, at last, I said to Franz, the head waiter,--"What makes Gretchen so happy?
10516How could her husband have married her?
10516How dare you think you can pity Anton?
10516How many boys of twelve hear such words as these from tired, overburdened mothers?
10516How many communities, how many households even, are without a tyrant?
10516How many women can say to themselves or others that this is their aim?
10516How should their muscles be good for any thing?
10516I asked;"because they do not wish to have their children educated?"
10516I do n''t think I deserved any at all; do you?"
10516I exclaimed, in involuntary admiration;"what are you doing?"
10516I hate little boys''?"
10516I have more than once said to a parent who used these words,"Will you tell me just what you mean by that?
10516I involuntarily exclaimed,"Have you known many such cases?"
10516If A is to receive ten dollars for quoting B''s remarks at a private dinner yesterday, shall not B have a small percentage on the sale?
10516If smiles may not be used for weapons or masks, of what use are they?
10516If they will only try and keep alive till we get home, we will make them very happy in some water; wo n''t we?
10516If this were not so, would he be found undertaking to lodge and feed people for one dollar or a dollar and a half a day?
10516In a few moments he laid down his knife and fork, and said,"Mamma, will you please to excuse me?"
10516In angry surprise at not finding him in the seat where they left him, they exclaimed,--"Now, where_ is_ that boy?
10516Is not to- day brilliant, marvellous, beautiful?
10516Is not what is called the"movement of the age"going on at the highest rate of speed and of sound?
10516Is there a greater misery than to be hurried?
10516It may be asked, and not unnaturally, how does this lodging- house system work for those who keep the houses?
10516Left unmentioned, unforbidden, who knows how soon they might die out of men''s lives, perhaps even from the earth''s surface?
10516Let him wear his best jacket, and buy him half as many neckties as his sister has?
10516Listen tolerantly to his little bragging, and help him"do"his sums?
10516No calculation for the inevitable progress of human knowledge?
10516No provision for an added enlightenment?
10516No room for a wholesome, healthy doubt?
10516Nobody thinks any thing''ll hurt a boy; but they''re glad enough to''allow''us when there''s any errands to be done, and"--"Do you live in New York?"
10516Now, when is your boy to learn these lessons?
10516Oh, who can describe him?
10516On the other hand, looking at all existences as organisms, shall we be disturbed at seeming failure?--long periods of apparent inactivity?
10516Once, when he was sick, he said,"Mamma, do you think I could have said G any sooner than I did?"
10516Or is it something which the adult has and the child had not?
10516Shall we believe, for instance, that Christ''s great church can be really hindered in its appropriate cycle of progressive change and adaptation?
10516Shall we complain that we are maddened by the racket, out of breath with the spinning and whirling, and dying of the strain of it all?
10516Shall we not sometimes answer his questions?
10516Shall we not thence learn charity, and the better understand the full meaning of some who have said that vices were virtues in excess or restraint?
10516Shall we say any thing of those of us who die between our seventh and eighteenth spiritual month?
10516Shall we try those methods and that pace on our journeys?
10516Should not a man be equally withheld from the brutal beating of a child who is not his own, but God''s, and whom to kill is murder?
10516Simply as the weaker yields to the stronger,--almost as matter yields to force?
10516Somebody who has written stories( is it Dickens?)
10516That any true membership of this organic body can be formed or annulled by mere human interference?
10516The fettered helplessness in spite of which they soar to such heights?
10516The mother said,"How shall I divide this?
10516The principle is the same; and if the principle be right, why not multiply methods?
10516Then I heard the mother say to the oldest boy,"Dear, are you too tired to let little Annie put her head on your shoulder and take a nap?
10516There is the house to be kept?
10516This is too hard?
10516To create and sustain the atmosphere of a home,--it is easily said in a very few words; but how many women have done it?
10516Upon whom, then, shall we lay earnest hands?
10516Vegetables?
10516Wait and not reprove him till after the company has gone?
10516Was the breakfast- room door much more likely to be shut the next morning?
10516What are one hundred and twenty millions of men, more or less?
10516What do you mean by such conduct?"
10516What genius could rise superior to it, could be itself, surrounded by such uncertainties?
10516What have they in common?
10516What is a man, more or less?
10516What is it which the child has and the adult loses, from the loss of which comes this total change of behavior?
10516What is quiet in comparison with riches?
10516What is to be done to prevent this acrid look of misery from becoming an organic characteristic of our people?
10516What is to become of this helpless machine, which has no central spring of independent action?
10516What shape will she make of that child''s soul?
10516What should we do without him?
10516What, then, is the fine art of smiling?
10516What, then, is to be done?
10516When human beings, then, are neither boys nor men, girls nor women, they must be for a few years anomalous creatures, must they?
10516When shall we have a Cuvier, a Huxley, a Tyndall for the immaterial world,--the realm of spiritual existence, moral growth?
10516Whenever he leaves her, her farewell is not,"How soon do you think you shall come back?
10516Where does this abnormal, uncomfortable period come in?
10516Where was the genial, laughing, talking lady who had been my friend up to that moment?
10516Who does not believe that the image of God could have been beautiful on all?
10516Who does not know such faces?
10516Who does not remember when to"play house"was their chief of plays?
10516Who has not felt the very soul writhe within her as she has first crossed the threshold of one of these dismal antechambers of journey?
10516Who has not heard this said?
10516Who has not heard voice from such apostles?
10516Who has not observed it?
10516Who knows when it was first said of a man laying up money,"He lays by for a rainy day"?
10516Who of us is not in prison?
10516Who of us is not living out his time of punishment?
10516Who would live in one, if he could help it?
10516Whose fault is it that they are not so?
10516Why do we dare to be so sure that they are not grieved by ungracious words and tones?
10516Why do we not always smile whenever we meet the eye of a fellow- being?
10516Why make four miseries out of three?
10516Why should days ever be dark, life ever be colorless?
10516Why, in New York( you live in New York, do n''t you?)
10516Will any physician tell us that this fact is not an element in that child''s physical condition at the end of that year?
10516Will he always act up to his highest moral perceptions?
10516Will the woman whose brain and heart are working these problems, as applied to a household, be an adjective?
10516Will you all stand still and not stir from this spot if I go?"
10516Would not fathers and mothers have cried out all over the land at the inhumanity of the idea?
10516You''ve got on a nice white dress: why ca n''t I?"
10516and a few seconds later, as the child was rather sulkily sitting down in his chair,"And do you mean to bid anybody''good- morning,''or not?"
10516be idle?
10516between the success of the one and the failure of the other?
10516or digestion and long life in comparison with knowledge?
10516or"Why can not I?"
10516smile perpetually?"
10516that they can get used to being continually treated as if they were"in the way"?
10516why do n''t you_ make_ me say it?"
6636But what can I do?
6636Have you eyes to see? 6636 Ah, girls, girls, do you really know what she is, or what she may become? 6636 And could I not describe the marriage of a jilt? 6636 And how, indeed, can boys and girls grow in character without friends? 6636 And why not make Margaret give you her opinion of Wagner or of Beethoven? 6636 And, do n''t you see, we never quite know what our own thoughts are till we come to try to make them clear to others? 6636 And, pray, has God made any object which is not worth a thought? 6636 And, pray, what is friendship but a mutual giving and taking of the best parts of character? 6636 Are mathematics your choice? 6636 Are n''t we always trying to blame some one else? 6636 Are the wild flowers so abundant? 6636 Are they not in any profession? 6636 Are you looking about to see where she is? 6636 Are you moody? 6636 Are you reading Emerson''s shorter essay onNature"?
6636Are you to wear your choicest attributes as you do your clothes?
6636Are you translating from this or that author?
6636Because a woman is a doctor, why need she use slang or profanity?
6636Because it is expected of you?
6636Because she holds certain great, liberal truths in regard to woman, why must she wear a stiff derby, swagger, and strike attitudes?
6636Blues, dumps, megrims, odd spells,--do they ever visit you?
6636But I suppose you think that persons, rather than objects, are commonplace,--that even some girls are so?
6636But if a peach pie is almost"divine,"and the Hudson River"awfully lovely,"what can be said of the New Testament and Niagara Falls?
6636But suppose you are to talk with a gentleman?
6636But what do you mean by"intimate"?
6636But, in whatever I attempted, I should repeatedly say to myself, Am I keeping my womanhood strong and real, as God intended it?
6636But, really, do we enjoy moods?
6636Can it be because boys are less sensitive, and more sufficient for themselves?
6636Can you have more than one intimate friend among the girls?
6636Comes down to your comprehension?
6636Could I not picture to you the_ mariage de convenance_ in America?
6636Could I not unfold pitiful stories about girls who marry fine wedding receptions and the servitude of reverses?
6636Could you predict that from the plants lying in the stagnant pool such a perfect flower as a lily would spring?
6636Do n''t you think you may be looking for something above your heads which really lies under your hands?
6636Do we have any respect for ourselves while in them?
6636Do you begin to think, girls, I would have you always prosaic, plodding, self- satisfied, unambitious?
6636Do you know that beautiful sketch by Charles Kingsley called"My Winter Garden"?
6636Do you know what Mr. Ruskin says about such an apparently insignificant thing as a blade of grass?
6636Do you know why the pine is so sad a tree?
6636Do you live out of town, and quite removed from the attractions of a metropolis?
6636Do you not have troubles?
6636Do you not suppose an artist sees more in a birch swamp than we do?
6636Do you not think we should all be happier, girls, if we took more time to appreciate the commonplace?
6636Do you remember that this very class of people have been the greatest reformers, thinkers, workers, rulers, everywhere?
6636Do you see all those soft green points looking down on you while the tasselled branches gently sway?
6636Do you think the naturalist''s search stopped then?
6636Do you think you ought to do that?
6636Does it ever come from peculiarity of temperament in the case of both boys and girls, there being girl- boys and boy- girls?
6636Does n''t it bow to you when you pass, and curve and sweep before you?
6636Does n''t it entertain you by showing you beautiful pictures and forms, and does n''t it furnish you with music?
6636Does n''t it offer you rest and refreshment in its shade?
6636Enrolled, would not they swell the number of workers by several hundreds of thousands in Massachusetts alone?
6636Girls, in the great work of the future, in the reformation of the present, can you not do most?
6636Girls, what do you think about shirking work?
6636Girls, why do so many of you indulge in so much smaller talk with men than with women?
6636Have they no valuable calling?
6636Have you made the most of what you already possess?
6636Have you never made the mistake of replying carelessly to one whom you thought was stupid, but whom you discovered to be a person of marked ability?
6636Have you never noticed Albrecht Durer''s drawing of Praying Hands?
6636Have you never read Curtis''s"Prue and I"?
6636Have you not met certain men and women who, when they opened their mouths to speak to you, conferred a favor on you?
6636How am I sure the tree is alive and friendly?
6636How are you to get work, if you do not seek it, and try with all your might to find it?
6636How are your surroundings to be improved, if you do not go to work?
6636How can I fully appreciate the oratory of the American Revolution, if I know nothing of the war between England and the Colonies?
6636How can I hope to like or even comprehend an English version of Caedmon, or, later, Chaucer, if I can not yet see the beauty of Whittier?
6636How can she do this, if she is always thinking, Maybe he loves me?
6636How is the doctor to help your body, if you do not help your spirits?
6636How is trouble to be lessened or endured, if from it we do not reach to higher, nobler living?
6636How to get through?
6636I do not believe in crazes,--do you?
6636I feel you are berating me, girls, so far as your natures will allow; but, then, do I not speak the truth?
6636I had better go to the far West, and settle in the gold diggings, had n''t I?
6636I should not ask is this man''s work or woman''s work; but, rather, is it my work?
6636I wonder how they ever came by their name?
6636If you are studying epochwise, why not read choice selections from the prose of the nineteenth century,--some of its masterpieces?
6636If you were passing a low, thatched cottage made of rough stone, its only pretence being a coat of whitewash, would you guess it held a poet?
6636Is it because that seems a genteel way to get a living, and does not seem so hard as other callings?

41498My children, will you save us?
41498My dear friend, have I said anything in this sermon, or do I say anything in this book, which leads you to suppose that I think men better than women?

41498Should the Shoes support the Ankle?
41498That story of Mrs. F.''s has really frightened me?"
41498The change from"Will you have a glass of whiskey?"

54335And what did this news personally amount to, to me?
54335And what of the Mormon women?

54335Can there be any doubt that the men of Washington have seized polygamy for their own ends?
54335Could such promises be made and motherhood fail to leap for joy?
54335Could the heavens thus speak and woman fail to hear?
54335Did motherhood refuse the cup for her own sake, or did she, with infinite love, take it and drink for her children''s sake?
54335Did woman hesitate a moment then?
54335Did you say the appointment was not given out?''

54335If any one of them be right, which is it?
54335If she dared to bear the patriarchal cross, was it not because she saw brightly looming in her destiny the patriarchal crown?

54335She did not know what was the matter, saying,''Certainly the man has not bewitched me, has he?''
54335She quietly kept her seat, however, and coolly asked them,"How many more times are you going to search this wagon to- day?"
54335She would ask, Have we transgressed any law of the United States?

41873If married, is your husband living with you, or what caused the separation? 41873 If not, what other means have you?
41873If widowed, how long has your husband been dead? 41873 If your mother had any business independent of your father, what was it?
41873Is prostitution your only means of support? 41873 Is society to draw up a code of regulations as to what is proper for us to do, and what not?"
41873Is your father living? 41873 Is your mother living?
41873Then why not punish him?
41873To what extent, in your opinion, is prostitution carried on in the tenant houses in your district?
41873To whom will you complain?
41873Well,said she, coolly,"what does that prove?"
41873Were you born in America? 41873 Were you trained to any religion?
41873Were your parentsProtestants,""Catholics,"or"non- professors?"
41873What business did your father follow? 41873 What do you intend to do?"
41873What induced you to emigrate to the United States? 41873 What trade or calling did you follow before you became a prostitute?
41873What was the cause of your becoming a prostitute? 41873 What were your average weekly earnings at your trade?
41873What, then, is the proper province of legislation in this important matter? 41873 ''But when?'' 41873 ''Do n''t you know that I am the chief''s wife?'' 41873 ''Do not you know her? 41873 ''What do you mean?'' 41873 ''What do you want here?'' 41873 ''When we return?'' 41873 **** Brothels are not an invention of necessity, but are simply an offshoot of immoral luxury.(?) 41873 -- Boys-- GirlsWere these children born in wedlock?
41873A question will arise:"Who are the women that keep these houses?"
41873Again:"State your opinion as to how many kept mistresses there are in your district?"
41873Am I to understand that you never intend to marry me?''
41873Among the children under your care, to what extent does inherited syphilis exist?
41873And amid all this array of luxurious homes, of splendid dresses, of comparative affluence, the question arises, Are they happy?
41873And how?
41873And then something would whisper to her,"Why do you endure it?"
41873And what is the argument brought forward to oppose it?
41873Another class of immigrants are women, many of whom are sent here by charitable(?)
41873Are evil influences rife only in the factory?
41873Are not the children of parents thus affected unhealthy, scrofulous, subject to diseases of the eye, joints, etc.?
41873Are not the children of parents thus affected unhealthy?
41873Are they not oftentimes acquired at the risk of outraged delicacy or undermined moral principles?
41873Are, or are not, the number of such inmates steadily on the increase?
41873Assume that these children were not in the factory, where would they be, and what could they do?
41873But how account for the participation of the female in the crime?
41873But is not this scorn powerless against the array of favoring motives?
41873But some moralist will ask,"How would you have us treat such women?"
41873But why are they still retained on the statute books?
41873But will not a more enlightened policy do much toward diminishing it?
41873But will not this be deferring to vice because it is dressed in silks or satins?
41873By comparing the table upon this point with the one framed from the replies to the question,"For what length of time have you been a prostitute?"
41873Can any human frame withstand these incessant attacks for a lengthened period?
41873Can it seize on and destroy the inborn passion which fills and supports houses of prostitution?
41873Can we consistently blame her if she becomes callous, when every legal provision directly tends to indurate her sensibilities?
41873Can we now consistently refuse to apply the rule to all who need our kindly care?
41873Canst thou believe thy living is a life?
41873Diseased women were confined in the place; should they not be treated there?
41873Does no responsibility rest upon the public, and on our law- makers, for negligence in this matter?
41873Et vos, maquerellæ, quid dicitis?"
41873Has not the finger of this scorn too long forbid the search for truth?
41873Has not the hour arrived when truth will speak trumpet- tongued, and when her voice must be heard?
41873He replied phlegmatically,"Would you object to live in a house or sail in a ship because others had just preceded you in the one or the other?"
41873He says,"What are the earnings of our laundresses, our seamstresses, our milliners?

41873In consideration of their important relations to society, it may be well to inquire, What are the duties of parents, husbands, and relatives?
41873In many cases he wields a power the determinations of which amount to this:"Shall I have any food to- day, or shall I starve?"
41873In reply it may be asked if the drunkard himself is ever cured of his vicious appetite by penalties?

41873Is it any wonder that girls are driven to intoxication and disgrace by this conduct?
41873Is it more reprehensible than many customs nearer home?
41873Is it not an opprobrium upon our national character to allow them to exist, if they are never to be enforced?
41873Is it not time, then, to inquire whether we have not attempted too much; whether, if we attempt less, we shall not accomplish more?
41873Is it now too late to enlist your sympathies in the undertaking?
41873Is money more valuable than the character and life of woman?
41873Is not its influence lost when its real character is known?
41873Is there no culpable indifference in this?
41873Is there no guilty indifference in this?
41873Is there not a far more striking inconsistency in supinely allowing the same vice to exist and increase, without hinderance or examination?
41873It may be asked, What peculiar dangers attend the life of a prostitute in this city?
41873Looking at the amount received by female operatives, will any one feel surprised that they should abandon the incessant and poorly paid employment?

41873May we not be able to limit and control what we have not the power to prevent?
41873Need any farther argument be adduced to show the palpable absurdity of the system?
41873Now the question will arise, Has the world''s indifference produced these evils?

41873She started up, saying,''Who is here?''
41873That was one victim rescued, but how many are lost?"
41873The case was certainly shocking: how was it to be met?
41873The excessive mortality among this class of children is developed in the following replies to the_ Question._ ARE THESE CHILDREN LIVING OR DEAD?
41873The first inquiry was,"How many houses of assignation are there in your district?"
41873The first question, then, to be answered, is, Can prostitution be prevented?
41873The following table will conclude this section:_ Question._ IF WIDOWED, HOW LONG HAS YOUR HUSBAND BEEN DEAD?
41873The most useful portion of the subject will be found, it is imagined, in replies to the question,"What was the cause of your becoming a prostitute?"
41873The next question was,"What, to the best of your belief, are the average number of visitors to such houses every twenty- four hours?"
41873The preceding facts will supply materials for reflection, in conjunction with the question,"On what hypothesis can these proportions be explained?"
41873Then the question arises, In what form shall the exposure be made?
41873They follow this advice, and in nine cases out of ten the magistrate''s only remark is,"Do you want me to send you to the Hospital?"
41873This was followed by the query,"Are all the females who visit these houses of assignation known public prostitutes?
41873Thus far manufacturers have been blamed for the depression of wages, but is not the consumer equally open to censure?
41873To the question,"What becomes of the prostitutes?"
41873To what will not such misery as this compel suffering human nature?
41873Turning fiercely to the women who sat before him, he apostrophized them:"Dicatis, vos, mulieres, posuistis, posuistis filias ad peccandum?
41873Under what form does constitutional syphilis present itself, and what diseases are attributable to its taint?

41873What means, in your opinion, could be adopted to eradicate or lessen the disease in the city?
41873What percentage of the total number of patients admitted to Bellevue Hospital suffer directly or indirectly from syphilis?
41873What, then, must be the condition of the towns, and, in particular, of the capital?
41873Where shall we find this light?
41873Where was she to expect aid and comfort but from the authors of her being, and how was such expectation realized?
41873Where, then, is our consistency?
41873Whether any one has a right to claim her?
41873Whether her father and mother are living, and what their calling was or is?
41873Whether she has ever been a prostitute before, and for what period of time?
41873Whether she has ever been arrested, and if yes, how often, and for what offenses?
41873Whether she has had children, and where they are?
41873Whether she has received any education?
41873Whether she has, or has had, venereal disease?
41873Whether she is a widow, wife, or spinster?
41873Whether she lives with them, and if not, when and how she left them?
41873Who, then, is responsible for her after- career but those who have the power to preserve her from farther guilt and shame?
41873Why add to the existing sense of shame another infamy when she unfortunately contracts disease?
41873Why should not females have this branch of employment at their command?
41873Why?
41873Will it stand the test of comparison with any one of them, much less of all?
41873Will not American good sense and American morality check this base imitation of a foreign custom?
41873With such disclosures as these, can any one be surprised at the continued spread of prostitution?
41873With such torments, physical and mental, can long life be expected as their lot?
41873Would she know where to get something to eat?

50034Is this the necklace Ella wore?
50034Is this the property you refer to?
50034Just told them you had been robbed of$ 100 worth of lace?
50034Look at this signature signed December 6, 1908--is that your signature?
50034Miss Gingles did admit that some of the lace belonged to Miss Barrett, did she?
50034Miss Gingles is Irish-- does that make any difference?
50034Mrs. Kenyon said to Miss Barrett:''Where is the other girl? 50034 Mrs. Schwartz, is n''t it?"
50034No trouble there, did you?
50034No white slave about that?
50034Nobody suggested that she be sent to a hospital?
50034Now, how many cuts did you find?
50034Now, if this girl had taken laudanum, what would have been the condition of the pupils of her eyes?
50034Now, tell the jury if there was any property in your room that did n''t belong to you?

50034There were many cuts, altogether?

50034Uncle Dave? 50034 Was any of your property found in Miss Gingles''room?"
50034Was n''t your curiosity excited?

50034Was the ring valuable?
50034Was there any trouble over a necklace?
50034Was there anything much the matter with her aside from being hysterical? 50034 Was your mother in the kitchen at the time?"

50034When you left you are sure she had on a black skirt?
50034When you went back to the Thornton home from the hospital did the doctor go back with you, or did you ask him to speak to them?
50034When you went to Miss Barrett''s room what happened?
50034When you were at the Thornton house did n''t the family go away?
50034Where are you taking her?
50034Where did she work?
50034Where did you come from to Chicago after leaving the Thorntons?
50034Where did you go when you went to Chicago?
50034Where did you next work?
50034Where is she from?
50034Where was it you saw her wearing the beads?
50034Where was she?
50034Where''s Mabel?
50034Which leg?
50034Which way did you go?
50034Who are you? 50034 Who does it serve?"
50034Who made the hat you are now wearing?
50034Who went with you to the room?
50034Why did n''t you start at these?
50034Why do n''t you give it up and go home?
50034Why?
50034Would it make any difference if Miss Gingles belongs to a different religion than you do?
50034Would you know his handwriting?
50034Yes, but what could I do? 50034 You are sure you saw her wearing the beads?"
50034You did n''t give it to her?
50034You did n''t have any money to pay your car fare?
50034You did n''t have this taken in Belleville?
50034You did n''t mention anything, not to a man anyway, about what you have related as occurring in Miss Barrett''s room?
50034You had lots of time?
50034You have said you were born in Ireland?
50034You lived in Belleville, Ontario, before coming to Chicago?
50034You never had any trouble with them?
50034You remember a big crowd of newspaper men being in the room, do n''t you?
50034You saw people in the streets, but you did n''t stop and tell any of them to call a policeman?
50034You say Ella Gingles was a raving maniac?
50034You say you were a good girl-- a perfectly good girl-- up to the time you met Agnes Barrett?
50034You went direct to Ella Gingles''room, did n''t you?
50034You went into Miss Barrett''s lace store for the first time in November?
50034You went to see Captain O''Brien the next day, did you?
50034You were at home on the night Miss Barrett and the other woman called to see Miss Gingles at the La Salle avenue home?
50034You would have given her money if you knew she were starving in your home?
50034Assistant State''s Attorneys Short and Furthman questioned prospective jurors along these lines:"Do you know anything about the Irish lace store?"
50034At the first necessity for importation, how easy is the traffic?
50034Been waiting long?"
50034By Mr. O''Donnell:"And tell us, had she a cut on the inside of the thigh, running crosswise?"
50034Can every one I meet read what I am?"
50034Can you understand?
50034Could an innocent young woman sustain the horror of such a climax?
50034Did n''t you call yourself Ella Raymond?"
50034Did n''t you see me take it out of her nightgown?"
50034Did not Ella have her own stockings on?"
50034Did you ever see that before?"
50034Did you really see any cuts?"
50034Did you see the scratches on her arms and body?"
50034Do you remember my address?"
50034Do you want corroborative evidence?
50034Do you want to investigate this story for yourself?
50034Got any new ones?"
50034He said to me,"Can you make lace?"
50034Her testimony follows:"Do you know Ella Gingles?"
50034Here are a few samples of questions asked veniremen by Attorney O''Donnell of the defense:"Are you married?"
50034His examination, conducted by Mr. Short, follows:"Do you remember seeing Miss Barrett and Ella Gingles on January 5, 1909?"
50034Linderman?"
50034Now suppose I wanted to be good, would mothers you know want their nice, innocent daughters associating with me?
50034O''Donnell?"
50034O''Donnell?"
50034Page 165, added missing answer"Yes"after"Was that before you went to work in the Wellington?"
50034Page 168, split"What was the lace kept in?"
50034Page 184, corrected period to question mark after"aside from being hysterical?"
50034Schwartz her real name?
50034See them pictures?"
50034She described the marking on the linen, and then was asked:"If Mr. Thornton said you took linen from his house, he is wrong?"
50034She then said:"Did you tell that interrupting beast?"
50034Should he go at once to her parents and tell them of the finding of their daughter, that she was alive?
50034Sure you got the name right?"
50034Surely you can--""Catch her?
50034The man said,"Is it about anything in particular?"
50034This affiant asked,"What is the matter with my head; what is the matter here, and what is wrong?"
50034Thornton?"
50034Thornton?"
50034Was Ella Gingles, the little blonde Irish lace- maker, on trial for stealing$ 50 worth of lace from Agnes Barrett?
50034What did she count in that vast host?
50034What''s this?
50034Where did you hear that word?"
50034Who do you think you are talking to?"
50034Will you be willing to take this case?
9054For who hath despised the day of small things?
9054Is there not something connected with the idea of economy, which tends, necessarily, to narrow the mind and contract the heart?
9054The woman who deliberates, is lost,we are told: and is it not so?
9054What can I do?
9054All persons, places and things, which affect us( and what does not affect us?)
9054Am I to be told that this is not only spending two pence to save one, but that it is actually wicked?
9054And are you the reverse of all this?
9054And can I set myself, with impunity, against that which my Saviour has encouraged, and yet pretend to be one of his followers?
9054And can we doubt that these young females were influential, in a great many respects, in the education of these conquerors?
9054And does there remain no room for industry when personal ornaments are excluded?
9054And have you a different taste-- entirely so?
9054And if so, shall not his social nature and social powers be early and successfully developed and cultivated?
9054And if the mother employs her daughters in assisting her, is it not apt to be just so far as is_ convenient to herself_, and no farther?
9054And is any thing more entitled to the name of virtue, than its opposite?
9054And is it not so understood?
9054And is not mental or spiritual labor at least as valuable as bodily?
9054And is not that which is the cause of so much evil, nearly akin to vice?
9054And is such an expenditure right?
9054And ought they not to be thus fitted?
9054And to do so day after day and year after year, is it not to make myself exceedingly guilty in his sight?
9054And whence came it?
9054And will any one presume to regard his operations as narrow, or mean, or stingy?
9054And would not every element which should go to make up the sum total of the excellences of each individual, be a part of this mighty treasure?
9054Are daughters, as daughters merely-- to say nothing, as yet, of maternal influence-- are daughters thus influential?
9054Are not all these things done, to a vast extent, either by servants, hired girls, or the mother?
9054Are not, then, home, and the domestic concerns of home, desirable?
9054Are the affections, and passions, and knowledge, and excellence, of less value than the rewards of manual labor, in money or property?
9054Are they not a mirror which often does, and always should, reflect the soul?
9054Are they not agreeable?
9054Are they not as much so, to say the least, as males?
9054Are they not the sign of inward qualities-- a fitting expression of the social virtues?
9054Are we desirous of forming our character upon the model of heaven?
9054Are we fretful?
9054Are we grateful enough for the gift?
9054Are we over- fond of excitement?
9054Are we the slaves of appetite?
9054Are we to belong to their society hereafter, and yet not be their_ associates?_ Are we to associate with them, and yet remain solitaries?
9054Are we to belong to their society hereafter, and yet not be their_ associates?_ Are we to associate with them, and yet remain solitaries?
9054But are not females fully competent to all this?
9054But can that be a duty which it is not in our power to perform?
9054But how and when is she to get home?
9054But how can she do it, if she is ignorant of the situation and functions of the cerebral and nervous system-- that wonderful organ of the intellect?
9054But how much more to be desired is it, that we could see ourselves as_ God_ sees us?
9054But if this is the case, what are we to think of the importance of light to the eye, sound to the ear, employment to the hands,& c.?
9054But is a young woman to be always actively employed?
9054But is it not proper that the truth should be told?
9054But is it so?
9054But is it so?
9054But is it so?
9054But is it sufficiently known that every act which can possibly be regarded as fraudulent in the smallest degree, has the same tendency?
9054But is that which is so destructive to the character of young men-- I mean the want of proper employment-- entirely harmless to young women?
9054But is_ all_ time wasted that is not spent in action, as some of my remarks might seem to imply?
9054But ought not all this, and much more, to be done?
9054But setting aside occasions of this kind, is there not a demand on our whole nature, for general cheerfulness?
9054But shall not a young woman be governed by her taste?
9054But the question recurs-- How can these evils be prevented?
9054But what if it happen to be otherwise?
9054But what is the condition of that family?
9054But what is their labor, generally speaking?
9054But what, in that case, is to become of the injunction of a distinguished apostle, when he says, WHATEVER you do, do all to the glory of God?
9054But would not such a habit be exceedingly useful?
9054Can it be that I waste, in sleep, in fifteen or sixteen years, a whole year of time?
9054Can such people expect to make advances in holiness-- to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ-- and yet not act like him, or follow him?
9054Can two walk together, says the Scripture, unless they are agreed-- that is, agreed as to the main points and purposes of life?
9054Celestial spirits, for aught we know, are much employed in visiting-- and shall not man be so?
9054Cheerfulness.--Is cheerfulness within our power?
9054Could such a thing be?
9054Do not many who say_ no_ with hesitancy, still retain the power and the disposition to deliberate?
9054Do they not generally bow to the tribunal of a fashionable world?
9054Do we think enough of the privilege of conversing in this way with friends in every quarter of the globe?
9054Do you ask how item be done?
9054Do you ask what the domestic of whom I have spoken has to do with all this?
9054Do you dread, above almost all things in the world, excitement and parade?
9054Do you love most the quiet and retirement of home-- and to be surrounded by infancy and childhood?
9054Do you not desire likeness in opinion, taste, purpose,& c.?
9054Do you think I esteemed her the less, because-- exclusive of the common school-- she had no seminary of instruction?
9054Do you think I respected or loved this young woman the less, because she was thus early a house-- keeper, a matron, and a mother?
9054Does any one ask, of what possible service it can be to know these facts, when it is too late to make use of them?
9054Does any one doubt that the dress will receive the desired attention, and that the closet will be neglected?
9054Does any one doubt which it will be?
9054Does he dread, also, like the cholera or the plague, all efforts at mental or moral improvement?
9054Does he find his happiness in going abroad, or in lounging?
9054Does he not thus, in learning his occupation or trade-- especially during the first years-- spend two pence to save one?
9054Does not all preparation for the future, obviously involve the same necessity?
9054Does your friend hate nothing so much as his own thoughts and reflections?
9054Even if it were spent to procure good attendance, are we quite sure our own attendance would not be still more useful?
9054For are there not many of the most excellent persons in the world, whom you would not willingly take for a daily companion?
9054For if to educate, is to form character, what young woman can be found, of any age or in any family, who is not a teacher?
9054For instance, is not a person of mild temper, gentle in manners?
9054For is there not too much foundation for such a conclusion?
9054Granting, as we sometimes do, that this is the fault of their education, is it therefore the less pitiable?
9054Has not another a bold and independent disposition, a forward and fearless manner?
9054Has not the young woman, when she begins the world, the same mental faculties, in number and kind, with the young man?
9054Has she done much to advance the important art of bread- making towards perfection?
9054Has she invented many special improvements in the art of house- keeping?
9054Has she not rendered to the teacher in whose employ she has been, that kind of services, without which he could not have followed his occupation?
9054Have I a right to waste it?
9054Have not their closets, and houses, and the neighboring livery stable, been well furnished and supplied, notwithstanding?
9054Have they not given, in this respect, wholly of their abundance-- and not, like the good woman mentioned in the gospel, of their penury?
9054Have they not had time enough left for their own purposes?
9054Have they not, in this respect, given of their abundance?
9054How can she do so, till she understands, intimately, the relation of the human system to air, heat, the various kinds of food, drink,& c.?
9054How can she, then, waste time- a single moment of it?
9054How can such persons be suitable companions for each other?
9054How can young women be trained to these services?
9054How can young women be trained to these services?
9054How could I be so late?
9054How could I run the risk of being thus left?
9054How happens it, then, that the world is filled with inventions, and so few of them originated by woman?
9054How interesting-- how exceedingly so-- the relation between a mother and a daughter?
9054How then does it happen that an idea of meanness is attached to them?
9054How, then, can they be so very poor?
9054If so, by what art shall a wasteful young woman be taught good habits?
9054In return, I may ask, what lessons of instruction are there which may_ not,_ be learned there, and what moral virtues may not there be cultivated?
9054Is genius confined to our sex?
9054Is he a great friend of parade and excitement?
9054Is he impatient in the society of children?
9054Is it asked what moral lessons, so mightily important, can be learned in the nursery and in the kitchen?
9054Is it not a sin?
9054Is it not expended for mere ornament?
9054Is it not more charitable to conclude they do not know the fact?
9054Is it not obvious that there may be mistake here?
9054Is it not so?
9054Is it not, in effect, just what is actually taking place around us in the world continually?
9054Is it said that every person knows this?
9054Is it too much to say, that decision of character is more important to young women than to any other class of persons whatever?
9054Is it too much to say, that half the world are miserable on this account,--miserable themselves, and a source of misery to others?
9054Is it true that the destiny of millions is thus committed to their keeping?
9054Is not man, here and hereafter-- as I have already insisted-- a social being?
9054Is not such a daughter a teacher?
9054Is not such a victory worth securing?
9054Is not that a duty which is productive of so much happiness?
9054Is not the life of young women in the great mass of our New England families, very far removed from any feeling of want or suffering?
9054Is not time to be allotted her for mere passive enjoyments?
9054Is she to yield to that current of the world which every where sets downward?
9054Is that proved to be a just taste, to which the views here presented seem to be opposed?
9054Is that to be turned wholly out of doors?
9054Is there any conscientiousness in the world?
9054Is there any conscientiousness in the world?
9054Is there any end, at least till the world comes to an end, of the good influence which a good Sabbath school pupil_ may_ thus exert?
9054Is there any moral character in such things?
9054Is there any moral character in such things?
9054Is there no time for relaxation?
9054Is there no time for relaxation?
9054Is there nothing for people to do, in this world, I again ask, but to make ornaments?
9054Is there nothing left for people to do, because you take away ornament?
9054Is there one particle more than is just necessary to render the earth what it was designed to be?
9054It is God''s gift; is it not slighting his gift, to spend it in sleep?
9054May she never lay herself, as it were, on the bosom of her family and friends?
9054May she never unbend her mind from what is called duty?
9054May she never view the silver fish as he leaps up, and"dumbly speaks the praise of God?"
9054May there not be passive enjoyments?
9054May there not be passive enjoyments?
9054Might not the two very best persons in the world be unhappy in each other''s constant society, if they were exceedingly unlike each other?
9054Must it not impede the motion of the venous blood in its return to the heart?
9054Must not even light boots, garters, stockings,& c., do this?
9054Nay, is there even no common ingenuity out of the range of our own walks?
9054Need I present these facts?
9054Need I urge the necessity of the case?
9054Nor is there less of truth in what the evangelist says, that"whoso hateth his brother"( and does not a slanderer_ hate_?)
9054Now which shall we believe-- the human teacher or the divine?
9054Now, are there not a great number of articles of clothing worn, whose use can not be justified on these principles?
9054Or if not, should not every young woman strive to make them so?
9054Perhaps they have clothed the poor, to some extent; but have they denied themselves to do it?
9054Presuming that by school- masters he meant teachers of both sexes, will any one doubt the truth of his assertion?
9054Running, to those who have passed into their teens, would be unfashionable; and who could endure the charge of disregarding the fashions?
9054Rush be right; and why should not good feelings and good affections change the countenance, in a greater or less degree, as well as bad ones?
9054She has patience, and perseverance, and fortitude-- why then may she not add to these, moral courage?
9054She would educate, properly, all her senses; but how can she do it, without a knowledge of their structure, functions and relations?
9054Still it may be said-- If our intellectual tastes are perverted, how are they to be set right?
9054The question is-- How well can I perform this particular act now?
9054They have visited the sick: but when has the time they have given, seriously incommoded them?
9054To say of such or such a young woman, She is a bold and powerful reasoner-- would it not be a little uncommon?
9054True, these tender consciences are rather_ troublesome_; but is it not better that they should torture us a little now, than a great deal hereafter?
9054What can be more abundant, for example, than air and water?
9054What can she do?
9054What could the latter have done, but for the assistance and influence of mothers and sisters?
9054What does true politeness require of them, but to give the stranger, in a gentle and affectionate manner, the necessary information?
9054What have the inventive powers of woman accomplished, even within what have been usually regarded as her own precincts?
9054What have they to do with economy?
9054What is she to do?
9054What ordinary virtue is there more commendable in the young, than industry?
9054What then?
9054What will my husband think-- especially as I came off without saying any thing to him about coming?
9054What would be more presumptuous?
9054What would we not then give for them?
9054What, then, is to become of her?
9054When and where have they cut themselves short of any thing to which they were lawfully entitled, for the sake of doing good to others?
9054When will man return to his native sphere, and the moral and intellectual world move in due harmony and happiness, like the physical?
9054Where is the proof, and by whom has it been adduced?
9054Where, in his domain, is any thing wasted?
9054Where, indeed, is not every thing saved and appropriated to the best possible purpose?
9054Who can say that Benjamin Franklin would ever have been what Benjamin Franklin was, without their aid, joined to the efforts of their mother?
9054Who could risk the danger of being regarded as a romp?
9054Who does not know the power of habit?
9054Who will show us any good thing?
9054Who will show us ourselves?
9054Why has she not done more?
9054Why not, I ask, in the same way that our moral taste is-- by the word and truth of God?
9054Why was I not in season?
9054Will her actual sleep be abridged one third?
9054Will you not, then, hail with joy, every effort of every being who would assist your spirit in its upward flight?
9054Would it be received as a compliment?
9054Would it not be regarded as a little out of the way-- and, to coin a term, as rather unfeminine?
9054Yet is there one particle too much of either of them?
9054and yet for some time not freeze?
9054what will become of that?
43657Are there not_ two_ married, and where is the one?
43657Are you a Metherdis, miss?
43657But,says some watchful woman,"has not Miss Garrett taken her degree from Apothecaries''Hall?
43657Did not your Massachusetts census for 1845 enumerate certain picklers and preservers?
43657Have they strength for the conflict,you ask,"or desire to enter such fields?"
43657How canst thou make me thy friend who in nothing am like thee? 43657 How did you get food?"
43657How long have you lived here?
43657How many men,asks Dr. Chapin,"would keep off death and conquer the Devil on such wages?
43657If you feel called to preach,said one minister to her,"why do you not go to the heathen?"
43657Is that the best you can do?
43657Shall she hear me jeer at what she deems holy? 43657 Sir,"said she,"will you lend me a Bible?"
43657What does the Lord thy God require of thee?
43657Who would shelter you?
43657Who,says Count Zinzendorf in Germany,--"who but my wife could have been alternately servant and mistress without affectation and without pride?
43657Why could she not have remained single?
43657Why do you bend such solemn brows on me? 43657 Why not leave it to be understood?"
43657Why not leave such work to man?
43657Why,asks Ernest Legouvé,--"why should not the immense variety of bureaucrative and administrative employments be given up to women?"
43657''Are you happy in this life?''
43657''But you do not always talk this way to men?''
43657--"And what made you come so far up?
43657A poor forsaken virgin who would deign To take in marriage?
43657A popular width of view we have certainly gained in the last half- century; but have we made secure progress in the right direction?
43657And from what literature, of ancient or modern growth, shall we match Jane''s answer, when passion presses, crying,"Who in the world cares for you?
43657And now, the building once ready for its inmates, was Mr. Vassar rewarded for the sacrifice he had made?
43657And what good would it do, if I bent, if I uptore, if I crushed her?
43657And who make this objection?
43657And why?
43657And woman, serener than Constance, may whisper back,--"Wherefore, since law is perfect wrong, Why should the law forbid my tongue to cry?"
43657And, if man has this right upon a simple human ground, how can you deny it to woman?
43657Are a Woman''s Clothes her own?
43657Are there seventeen students in Harvard College who take mathematical astronomy, do you think?"
43657As we withdraw our eyes from the past, it is natural to inquire, What late changes have taken place in Great Britain?
43657As you have followed me, has it seemed to you that we wanted more avenues for manual labor?
43657But what can either of you do alone?
43657But why should not the denizens of the fashionable world be atheists?
43657But, if Oberlin does such noble work, what need of Antioch?
43657But, if this subject must be treated at all, why should it not be left to men?
43657Can I utter without trembling the two names which sit upon the thrones of female power in the Old World and the New?
43657Can we wonder at the hideous coarseness of their language, when we remember the savage rudeness of their lives?
43657Can women deal with it abstractly and fairly?
43657Can you enter into such labors?
43657Can you guess how brave and pure a woman was needed to write those words?
43657Can you not bear to be called"women''s- rights women"?
43657Could she give up?
43657Could such a scene have taken place in the presence of women?
43657Could this be the book which had been so abused for half a century?
43657Cæsar and Cicero may be abstract nullities to our young student; but what can he learn from Ovid?
43657DANTE,_ from the_"_ Banquet._"Art thou not beautiful, my new- born Song?
43657Did you or I ever make a sacrifice which would compare with that?
43657Disliking one woman''s vulgarity, she said to her,"If you believe in the Holy Ghost, why not use the_ language_ that the Holy Ghost uses?"
43657Do n''t you like the meadow?"
43657Do you ask me the reason of this bad management, and whether I think it can be remedied?
43657Do you not envy her and her husband the happy English home secured by their united labors?
43657Do you object, that America is free from this alternative?
43657Do you object, that, under the present constitution of society, man can not find time for this fidelity?
43657Do you remember the exquisite drawings which once decorated the kerchiefs, the linen collars and sleeves, of a certain schoolroom?
43657Do you remember what I told you, the other day, of eighteen hundred and eighty women in New York who had never been taught to support themselves?
43657Do you smile at the expression?

43657and what is the strength of the reform tendency?

43657what office or employment is open to her?
43657where are the kindred of Fannie Blood and John Hunter, whose lives her generous efforts gladdened?
43657why has God sheltered_ us_ in quiet homes?
43657you will say,"is that kind?"
44481Do n''t you wish some friend would come along?
44481I love her, I am kind to her, I provide a good home for her-- she has her children and she has me-- what else should she want?
44481What else should she want?
44481What will happen if an irresistible force meets an immovable body?
44481A man does not like that kind of a place-- and why should he?
44481A really suitable and profitable companion for a man instead of the bond- slave of a house?
44481All might compete on even terms if"love is enough,"as poets have claimed; but_ which could best provide for her children_?
44481And I?
44481And I?
44481And in particular how does it affect the home, and how does the home affect it?
44481And she gives in return--?
44481And what is maternity but one of nature''s processes of reproduction?
44481And why do the people who care most for the home-- our Anglo- Saxons-- care so little for beauty and art?
44481And, in such art- knowledge and art- growth as we have, why is it least manifested at home?
44481Are the children, then, perfectly fed at home?
44481Are the mothers to be credited with all that is good and the fathers with all that is bad?
44481Are we never to have a man- wife?
44481Are we so loosely attached to our homes as to give them up when some defects are pointed out?
44481As a matter of fact,_ are_ our children happy and prosperous, healthy and good, at home?
44481At what point in this long march of life was introduced that useful, blessed thing-- the home?
44481But apart from that virtue, what sense of honour do we find in the home- bound woman?

44481But girls we find by thousands and thousands;"helping mother,"if mother does the work; and if there are servants to do the work, the girl does-- what?
44481But how does our universally praised home- cooking affect our health?
44481But what real place has a grown woman of twenty- five and upwards in anyone else''s home?
44481But why revere some more than others, and the lower more than the higher?
44481By that strange assumption does she justify this refusal to keep step with the world?
44481Can it imagine a home, a real happy home, with the woman out of it for one hour a day?
44481Can it, encouraged by this step, picture the home as still enduring while the woman is out of it two hours a day?
44481Can not men see how deeply benefited they would be by this change, this growth of woman?
44481Can not the mother love it_ while the nurse takes care of it_?
44481Can we get at the causes of this department of human trouble?
44481Can we prove it?
44481Could a college boy apply his education appropriately to"keeping house"--and, if not, how can the girl?
44481Could she not manage to love a daughter in business, too?
44481Do they in truth do all for their children; do their children owe all to them?
44481Do they not love it and live in it--_while they are there_?
44481Do they?
44481Do we expect the judge upon the bench to do justice, dispassionate, unswerving, on his own child-- his own wife-- in the dock?
44481Do we expect the mother to do justice to the child when the child is the offender and the mother the offended?
44481Do we hold a wigwam more sacred than a beast''s lair and less sacred than a modern home?
44481Do we hold an intelligent, capable mother more sacred than an ignorant, feeble one?
44481Does either the physician or the epicure point with pride to that dietary?
44481Does eternity only stretch one way?
44481Does it cease to be home because of their hours away from it?
44481Does not the mother love her son, though he is in business?
44481Does this grade and amount of labour on the part of women lighten the burden, as we so fondly and proudly assume?
44481Does this"good time"satisfy the girl?
44481From what once normal base sprang this abnormal growth?
44481Grant that both are sacred-- that all right processes are sacred-- is not the relative sanctity up and out along the line of man''s improvement?
44481Guarded from what?
44481Had Wilkes Booth no mother?
44481Has the world stopped?

44481How can"the home"be credited with such opposite results?
44481How could a human creature be content in such an unnatural position?
44481How do these stand as compared with the facts?
44481How do we modify them for children?
44481How does it modify his personal life and development?

44481How does the home stand as regards either branch of development?
44481How does the home- bound woman fill the claims of motherhood?
44481How does the present home meet their needs?
44481How does the woman escape this charge?
44481How has the mental growth of the race been affected by the housing of women?
44481How if the girl wants something else to do-- something definite, something developing?
44481How many homes provide such an amount, fresh, either by day or night?
44481How many men simply hand out a proper sum of money for"living expenses,"and then live, serene and steady, on that outlay?
44481How of her mind?
44481How would her brother be content with a day''s work of dusting the parlour and arranging the flowers; of calling and being called on?
44481How, then, have we come to this vanishing point of absurdity?
44481If a man could afford to put daughters and wife to bed and have them fed and washed like babies, would that be a kindness?
44481If he battles through his infancy and early childhood successfully, what has he gained from his early environment in education?
44481If not the once sacred spirit of hospitality, is it the still sacred spirit of friendship?
44481If she does not marry, what then?
44481If so, why?
44481If the home is a temple, why should not our hills be dotted with fair shrines worthy of worship?
44481If the mother is not herself the house- servant-- what else is she?
44481If we are willing to receive our water from an extra- domestic pipe-- why not our food?

44481In plain fact, what does the average home offer to the newcomer, the utterly defenceless baby, the all- important Coming Generation?
44481In the home who has any privacy?
44481In the house has grown the delicate beauty we admire, but are we right in so admiring?
44481In this kind of home-- and it is still the rule on earth-- what is the influence on man?
44481In this most vivid period of life how does the home meet the needs of the growing soul?
44481In this new field of social service, productive industry, what is the influence of the home?
44481In what does it consist?
44481In what way does a man best benefit his family?
44481In what way does a woman best benefit her family?
44481In what way is it specifically prepared for the use, enjoyment, and benefit of a child?
44481Is Home best valued as a place to hide?
44481Is all this outcry necessary?
44481Is he?
44481Is history a dream?
44481Is it better than Liberty, better than Justice, better than Art, Government, Science, Industry, Religion?
44481Is it not a confession of the discord and pain we so stoutly deny, that we are not willing to pour light into this dark place and see what ails it?
44481Is it not more sacred to teach right conduct for instance, as a true preacher does, than to feed one''s own child as does the squaw?
44481Is it not time that the home be freed from these industries so palpably out of place?
44481Is it really what she wants, all she wants?
44481Is it something new, something distinctively human, like the church, the school, or the post office?
44481Is it to keep her word inflexibly?
44481Is it to respect privacy, to scorn eavesdropping, to regard the letter of another person as inviolate?
44481Is it to spare the weaker?
44481Is it-- really?
44481Is life meant In ignominious safety to be spent?
44481Is nothing furnished in the way of safety, sanitation, education, by that larger home, the state?
44481Is she happy in her father''s home, just passing the time till she moves into her husband''s?
44481Is the girl satisfied?
44481Is the home so light a thing as to be blown away by a breath of criticism?
44481Is the home, as the last stage of our elaborate processes of social nutrition, a success?
44481Is the home, as we have it, satisfying to the real needs of man''s nature; and if not, could it be improved?
44481Is the list of dietary diseases among our home- fed little ones a thing to boast of?
44481Is there any exact time of attendance required to make a home?
44481Is there really no way that the experience of all the ages may be turned to account to facilitate the first years of a child''s life?
44481Is this long- accepted theory correct?
44481Is this relished by the family?
44481Is this so?
44481It is the duty of the child to care for the infirm parent-- that is not questioned; but how?
44481May we look, then, in homes of this class for an ideal influence on man?
44481Must the poor baby suffer by night and day; must the small child bang and yell, and must it be punished so frequently?
44481Must we then leave it-- lose it-- go without it?
44481No transportation, that at once;_ no roads_--why roads if all men stayed at home?
44481Now if, while the father was out, and the children were out, the mother should also be out, would the home disappear into thin air?
44481Now the father goes out every day; does the home cease to exist because of his hours away from it?
44481Now we do not seek to"attach"our butcher or baker or candlestick- maker; why our cook?
44481Now what is all this leading to?
44481Now what is the real effect upon the man?
44481Now, having laid aside both the general ideal and the pocket ideal, what do we see?
44481Now, how does this home really stand under dispassionate observation?
44481Now, what is the accepted duty of the boy to the parents, when they are old, feeble, sick, or poor?
44481On what ground, then, is that dinner given-- why are the Jenkinses asked that night?
44481Or hats, or books, or waggons?
44481Or what would any scale of wages or promotion be against the joys of a home of her own, a husband of her own, children of her own?
44481Our college girls have vast supplies of knowledge; how can they use it in the home?
44481Our lightly spoken phrase"What is home without a mother?"
44481Perhaps even, in some remote dream, no dining- room?
44481Perhaps we might; but do we?
44481Private?--a place private where we admit to the most intimate personal association an absolute stranger; or more than one?
44481Scrutinise the home, that sacred institution, and even question it?
44481She has enough to eat, enough and more than enough to wear; but what exercise has she for body or brain?
44481Such as it is, strong for good and also very weak for some good, possibly even showing some tendencies to evil, what is its influence on men?
44481That our women cease to be an almost universal class of house- servants; plus a small class of parasitic idlers and greedy consumers of wealth?
44481That the expense of living be decreased by two- thirds and the productive labour increased by nine- twentieths?
44481The duty is precisely the same; why is the manner of fulfilling it so different?
44481The home is a beautiful ideal, but have we no others?
44481The work is only done for the family-- the family is satisfied-- what remains?
44481These are vital processes, healthy, natural, indispensable, but why sacred?
44481This is indeed necessary; for why should they pay for tuition, or even waste time in gratuitously studying, when they can get wages without?
44481To eat, to sleep, to breathe, to dress, to rest and amuse one''s self-- these are good and useful deeds; but are they more hallowed than others?
44481To what sort of world is the new soul introduced?
44481Was Benedict Arnold an orphan?
44481We have attained some refinement of feeling in painting, music, and other arts; why are we still so frankly barbaric in our attitude toward food?
44481What are homes for?

44481What sort of citizens do we need for the best city-- the best state-- the best country-- the best world?
44481What would houses be like if every man made his own?
44481What would shoes be like if every man made his own, if the shoemaker had never come to his development?
44481What, then, is the explanation of this lack of special provision for the real founder of the home?
44481Where are the limits and tendencies of these emotions?
44481Where is Children''s Day?
44481Where is her business, her trade, her art, her profession, her place in life?
44481Where water and light are thus fully socialised, why are we so shy of any similar progress in the supply of food?
44481Which could do most for her children?
44481Why did the people who cared most for beauty and art, the Greeks, care so little for the home?
44481Why do we dread having children, as many of our much- extolled mothers so keenly do?
44481Why does it not originate there?
44481Why does not the equally capable daughter_ do more_ to support her parent when it is necessary?

44481Why have not these?

44481Why is it not good?
44481Why is not domestic architecture as good as public architecture?

44481With all this time, labour, and expense given to the feeding of humanity, what are the results?
44481With our proven capacity, why do we manifest so little progress in industrial organisation and devotion?
44481Would any amount of love on the part of that inconceivable house- husband justify him in depriving his family of all the fruits of progress?

44481XIII THE GIRL AT HOME What is the position of the home toward us in youth?
44481Yes, but which hour of the day?
44481Yes, there is occupation enough as far as filling time goes; but how if it does not satisfy?
44481Yes?
44481and, when found, do they bear any relation to our beloved custom of home- cooking and home- eating?
44481wilt thou be mine?
42329''Did you ever spit blood?'' 42329 ''How long did this last?''
42329''I think-- it seems to me--''A half- hour?''
42329And has this system gone on for a hundred years,I asked,"without finding some remedy?"
42329And some judges do, you say?
42329And what has society done to protect itself against this aggressor? 42329 Any trace of albumen, doctor?"
42329Anybody inside?
42329Are not many of the unknown likely to be Catholics, too?
42329Are not many, indeed most of those, also, Catholics?
42329Are you a witness?
42329Are you in earnest? 42329 At what age did your grandparents die?"
42329But why have them here?
42329Do you think they leave here with an admiration for our system of caring for the city''s dead-- whether the death be social, mental, or physical? 42329 Does your physician know of these examinations?
42329Ever been here before?
42329How can a woman in your station and of your type know about them?
42329How many bodies do you carry each week?
42329How would you like to be a ward politician and a heeler?
42329How?
42329Is it so bad as that?
42329Is that so, officer?
42329Is there not something wrong with the penal institutions then?
42329Nothing wrong with my heart or lungs?
42329Of what did each one die?
42329See him selling anything?
42329Then this earth-- if we may call it so-- is constantly being dug into and opened up?
42329Were you subpoenaed?
42329What have you to say for yourself?
42329What is for the man''s protection?
42329What is the charge against her, officer?
42329What is the charge?
42329Who does the work-- the digging, the burying, the handling of the dead, the carting, and the work for the insane?
42329Who has sinned, this man or his parents that he was blind?
42329Why are most of them here?
42329Why are two of them dark wood and all the rest light?
42329Why do they not let liquor alone, after such a hard lesson?
42329Actual amount of gray matter, differ?
42329Am I willing to be a moral and physical pauper preying upon the rights of my children?
42329Am I willing to be a murderer and taint with slow poison their lives before they get them?
42329Am I willing to be a thief and misappropriate their physical, mental and moral heritage?
42329And has Austria no women citizens?
42329And how will it be for her?
42329And that it might be better without such crime producers?"
42329And where do all these lunatics and criminals come from?
42329And why not?
42329And, if she did reproduce her kind, would this world be benefited?
42329Are ignorance and innocence the same thing?
42329Are others as little informed upon the subject as I?
42329Are the facts known or only conjectured?
42329Are the highest and best types of character bred in discord?
42329Are the inmates of these from homes where harmony reigned?
42329Are there not sex maniacs in more directions than one?
42329Are"half"brothers and sisters and"step"children a subject of moral shock to the most rigid religionists?
42329But have wider culture and wider opportunities made them better wives and mothers?
42329But his civilized brother does it for him-- so why complain?
42329But setting aside these most important features I would like to ask who is benefited by keeping together those whom hate has separated?
42329But what has taught thoughtful men wisdom?
42329Can any rational person believe that it is well to rear children in an atmosphere of hatred, of contention, of rebellion?
42329Can good women live with these same men and not be polluted?
42329Can it be said to strike at anything dear or noble for womankind that some wife is absolutely freed from such companionship?
42329Can this be true of criminals and not of normal women?
42329Can you conceive of the meaning to humanity of a discovery that would transform a congenital imbecile into a rational being?
42329Can you think of an operation that would create a mind?
42329Could any operation open to the future of the race wider possibilities and offer more brilliant hope?
42329Could anything be more wonderful?
42329Did he mean to imply that those places have, since the sermon, been thronged with the"wives and daughters of Brooklyn?"
42329Did the black men, while yet slaves, give to the master their own unbiased opinion of the institution of slavery?
42329Did you spit much blood?''
42329Do not our penal institutions answer this question?
42329Do the convolutions?
42329Do the peasants tell the lord exactly what they think of him, or do they tell him what they know he wishes them to think?
42329Do they go back with a desire to reform and become like those who devise and conduct this sort of thing?"
42329Do you fancy that if that half idiot should ever have children they will be''whole''?
42329Does all this difference of structure and quality appear in the infant or only in the adult brains?
42329Does he not labor first of all to secure every scrap of evidence against the accused and to make light of or cover up anything in his favor?
42329Does it pay me to live?
42329Does literature throw a true or a fictitious light on such questions as these?
42329Does the distinguished Prelate take issue with his Lord?
42329Does the relative amount of gray matter differ?
42329Does the religious man or woman not take this view of morals?
42329Does use have to do with the location of the fissure of Rolando, or is that fixed at birth?
42329Does use or development of the mental powers change the specific gravity of the brain mass?
42329Does use, training, etc., develop gray matter, change texture, size, shape, etc., of the brain mass, or are these determined and fixed at birth?
42329Ever been in Japan?
42329For what?
42329Form?
42329From educated mothers?
42329H. G. Is not that common- sense in surgery?
42329HEREDITY: IS ACQUIRED CHARACTER OR CONDITION TRANSMITTIBLE?
42329Has he not jumped at that conclusion and cast a slur upon the wrong sex?
42329Has not humanity been long enough cursed by so degrading and degraded, so ignorant and so fatally wrong a mental, moral, social and legal outlook?
42329Has right and wrong, sex?
42329Have you a right to deceive certain people for the pleasure or benefit of other people?
42329Have you ever had such cases under your own care?
42329Honor does not demand as much of you for her as it does of her for you?
42329How about a mixed family there?
42329How about the children?
42329How does the question stand then?
42329How many men are sure that they can answer that question correctly?
42329How would boys fare under like conditions?
42329I fancy if he were asked a question on the subject he would look at you in stupid, silent wonder, if he did not ask:"What have they got to do with it?
42329I turned to an officer, and asked:"Do you not think all this is bad training for boys?
42329If he has a spark of honor or manhood in him could such a relationship, held by force, give him happiness?
42329If he is so far below the brutes in his relationship with his mate that he can hold his position only by force is he a fit father of children?
42329If it can not benefit society, then who is benefited by the forced continuance of the marriage relation?
42329If it wants any other information of a medical nature, why is n''t the applicant''s own family physician quite enough?
42329If not, how did he know that it"polluted_ their_ minds?"
42329If not, when and where did she forfeit that right?
42329If so where is the boundary line?
42329If so, are the differences more or less marked in infants than in adults?
42329If their own examiner ca n''t find anything wrong with him, is n''t that enough?
42329If there is, as you say, no escape from our heredity and its power and influence, what is the use of trying?
42329In an uneducated man would there be as much of the brain in front of this fissure as in a man of trained and developed mind?
42329In whose interest is this distinction maintained?
42329Is he a less desirable husband and father?
42329Is he"deteriorating in his sphere?"
42329Is honor and truthfulness toward others limited in application?
42329Is it a fact or is it one of the fictions of fiction which it were well to stimulate and galvanize into life less persistently?
42329Is it certain that heredity-- nature''s surest and least heeded voice-- does not in many cases say the former?
42329Is it especially uncommon, indeed, for the most devout men and women to marry three times?
42329Is it fair to a child that it be so reared?
42329Is it for that reason absolutely necessary that you buy a coffin- plate to- morrow and proceed to die with lung trouble?
42329Is it for the good of anyone to make mistakes perpetual?
42329Is it not bad enough to have been virtuous and still have failed, without having also the stigma which this failure implies under such a code?
42329Is it not far more terrible in such a case to give life?
42329Is it not right-- is it not the duty of the State to secure, so far as it may, quite the opposite conditions of life for its helpless future citizens?
42329Is it true, after all, that men are not so good protectors of women as is woman of her sister?
42329Is not his mother as deeply interested in her boy''s welfare as is his father?
42329Is not my salvation in my own hands and in the hands of my fellows?
42329Is not this very double standard theory in itself a sex mania?
42329Is that which is coarse or low for women not so for men?
42329Is the State and are the people interested in refusing to allow two people to correct a mistake once made?
42329Is the State interested in reproducing his kind?
42329Is the State interested in the high character of its future citizens?
42329Is the difference as marked as in adults?
42329Is the frontal region of the brain larger and more developed in male than in female infants?
42329Is there no remedy for all this?
42329Is there no way that a useful and powerful business can be rid of features which make it both dangerous and ghoulish?
42329Is there not food for reflection in that?"
42329Is there unanimity of opinion on these questions?
42329Is this Inspector"morbid?"
42329It does not employ an attorney upon that theory; but is this not the theory upon which the prosecutor invariably conducts his cases?
42329It is kind of awful, ai n''t it?"
42329It is not at all important what some dead and gone Potentate said; the question before us is: What is best for society as it is now?
42329Just as I was about to pass in he bent forward and asked quickly:"Friend of the prisoner?"
42329No?
42329No?
42329No?
42329Not hear of it until when?
42329Now what is the implication?
42329Of one Justice I asked,"What time do you close?"
42329Old Albumen?
42329One great Prelate asked in his article on this subject:"Can we look with anything short of horror upon such a condition of things?
42329One man waved his hand to me and mumbled something and smiled-- then he called back,"Wie geht''s?
42329Or do they need no shelter?
42329Perhaps you will ask:"Why did he not take the warning, and follow a better course, turn the other way?"
42329Say for yourself?"
42329Since it is all such a dismal failure, why not plan a better way?
42329Suppose that he really thought nothing of his mining- stock when he made his application and signed his contract?
42329Suppose that in a short time he was called to see the mine, went into it, and died of the results of that trip?
42329Taking life at its best estate are we not assuming a tremendous risk to thrust it unasked upon those who are at least safe from its pitfalls?
42329That she be no longer forced to bear his society or even his name?
42329The children?
42329The husband?
42329The laborer begins to argue,"Am not I partly responsible for my own condition?
42329The mother of many children or of few?
42329The mother who is educated or she who is the willing or unwilling subordinate in life''s benefits?
42329The prosecutor smilingly poked his late legal adversary under the ribs and asked in a tone perfectly audible to the prisoner,"Lied, did I?
42329The question is, then, what is best for society as it is and as it is likely to be?
42329The same as to convolutions?
42329The wife?
42329Then I asked myself: Why should the city''s dead be"thrown in?"
42329Then I asked, incidentally:"''What made you spit that blood that time, Gihi?''
42329They said they did not see the use of it; what difference did it make, anyhow?
42329This is an extreme and not a pleasing case, we may admit; but suppose the divorce were by death would the distinguished Prelate be so shocked?
42329To whose advantage is it to insist that virtue is always rewarded-- vice punished?
42329To whose advantage is it to teach by all the arts of fiction that contentment with one''s lot-- whatever the lot may be-- is a virtue?
42329We all know that in substance the Catholic church''s answer to the question"Is Divorce wrong?"
42329Well now, is he a less"manly man"than is the Kaffir or the Indian buck?
42329Well, I rather think I singed your bird a little, did n''t I?"
42329Were I to- day unborn, could I be asked for my vote, knowing all I do of life, would I vote to come into this world?
42329Were the working women who have not the ballot, better sheltered than the men?
42329What business has a company to ask whether an applicant has or has not been rejected by another company?
42329What but experience and responsibility?
42329What fiction of fiction( and, alas, of law) could be more degrading to womanhood-- and hence to humanity-- than the thought here presented?
42329What has broadened the conception of political liberty?
42329What indeed?
42329What is best for society as it is now?
42329What is its full meaning?
42329What is the final appeal of these combatants?
42329What taught men the danger and folly of religious and restrictive( sumptuary) legislation?
42329What was that sin?
42329When and where did_ man_ get his?
42329When the boon of self government is given to the British colonies is Ireland alone to be excepted from its blessings?
42329Where and how are they"thrown in?"
42329Where does the drinking water come from?"
42329Where?
42329Which is the greater, more awful responsibility, to give or to take life?
42329Who are the movers in that direction and upon what do they base their arguments?
42329Who examined you over at the other place?
42329Who is benefited or who harmed by the continuance of a loathesome relationship?
42329Who is left to be considered?
42329Who is likely to stamp a child with low intellectual physiognomy?
42329Who is likely to transmit"organic debility?"
42329Who is this devastator, this modern"scourge of God,"whose deeds are not recorded in history?
42329Who then is benefited?
42329Who will be likely to furnish these?
42329Whose money was this spent?
42329Why add suspicion to failure and misfortune, and gloss success with the added glory that it is necessarily the result of virtue?
42329Why are they_ thrown_ in?
42329Why ca n''t a company depend on the capacity of its own medical staff?
42329Why confine gilded houses to one quarter?
42329Why is it better that some girl shall be sacrificed, body, mind and soul; why is it better that she shall be his victim than that he shall be his own?
42329Why is it that men will not submit to, if it comes from women, that which they impose upon women whom they"adore"and"truly respect?"
42329Why is the attempt so strongly made to revise the laws and check the growing liberality in divorce legislation?
42329Why not apply a bit of logic right here?
42329Why not begin at the other end of the line to keep offenders apart?
42329Why not let go and just drift on the tide of inherited conditions?
42329Why not make laws and make them apply to the human being, leaving the sex of that human being out of the question?
42329Why not out with it in fiction and be armed and equipped for character and life as it is?
42329Why not set a watch on and restrict the one who does the real and permanent harm to the race?
42329Why then for the girls?
42329Why this constant cry for more children in a world crushed by the weight of sorrow, suffering and wrong to those already here?
42329Why, did you know that the prosecutor you heard just now is cousin to a lord?
42329Why, in a civilized land, should such an expression as that arouse no surprise-- be taken as a matter of course?
42329Why?
42329Why?
42329Why?
42329Why?
42329Wie geht''s?"
42329Would I choose to be born again?
42329Would any man worthy the name wish to be the husband of an unwilling wife?
42329Would it be the same in a great scholar as in a common laborer of the same general size and health?
42329Would it not be unendurable to him?
42329Would opportunity and mental exercise make a change in the brains of the five students that would be discoverable by microscope and scales?
42329Would the city''s dead continue to be"thrown in"if the public stopped to think; if it understood the meaning of that single, obscure headline?
42329Would the girl marry you or your son if she knew the exact truth-- if she were to see with her own and not with your eyes--_all_ of your life?
42329Would women accept this sort of respect and adoration if they were not dependents?
42329Would you be willing to marry her if she had exactly your record?
42329Would you be willing to take her with you, or for her to go unknown to you, through all the experiences of your past and present?
42329You truly believe then that she is worthy of less than you are?
42329You would think she had a right-- you would not resent it if her life had been exactly what yours was and is, and if she had deceived you?

36152Are not husbands commanded to love their wives even as Christ loved the Church?
36152Are they any more independent of the circumstances of life, any more concentrated in its essence?
36152Are they any more likely to be bad wives and mothers, than boys are to be bad husbands and fathers?
36152Are they braced and toned up to solve for themselves the problems of life, to bear its ills undaunted and meet its happinesses unbewildered?
36152Are they children or cubs?
36152Are they counselled to be active, self- helpful, self- reliant, alert, ingenious, energetic, aggressive?
36152Are they incapable of exercising it towards each other?
36152Are they just in their dealings, disinterested in their motives, pure in word and work?

11934Who can remain sulky in the face of virtues?"
11934Who has ever heard of a beautiful idiot, of anyone falling in love with an imbecile?
11934Who was this Abishag, the Shunammite?
11934Who wrongs thee, Sappho?
11934Why am I ill and melancholy, and why, my love, did you leave me?"
11934Why are girls not allowed in so many cases to choose their own husbands?
11934Why did you not bring away the gins( women)?"
11934Why does the lark''s song seem so sad, and why have the flowers lost their fragrance?
11934Why does the sun look down upon the meadows so cold and morose, and why is the earth so gray and desolate?
11934Why have you become so estranged to me?
11934Why not derive if from the Latin_ gallus_, rooster?
11934Why should I, for how hast thou injured me?
11934Why should buying back a wife be evidence of affection any more than the buying of a bride, which is a general custom of Africans?
11934Why should we kill the_ best of passions_, love?
11934Why then does he marry?
11934Why then should it be absurd or"immoral"to maintain that it differs from his feeling toward his wife?
11934Why this silent courtship?
11934Why, indeed, should anyone be alarmed at the distinction I made?
11934Why, then, should we specially extol Mujnun for admiring a woman who was devoid of all feminine charms?
11934Will she poise a spear?"
11934Will she wield a club?
11934William, are these things phantasms if they make us happy?"
11934Williams, in his book on the Fijians( 152), relates that one day a native woman was asked,"How is it that so many of you women are without a nose?"
11934With such an_ idea_ how could they have possibly_ felt_ toward women as we do?
11934Women: Homage to priestesses; Domestic rule; Political rule; Is gallantry an"insult?"
11934Would he have sacrificed his life to save her any more than she would hers to save him?
11934Would he say they learned from the whites the"universal custom... to slay every unprotected male stranger met with"( Curr, I., 133)?
11934Would love have acted thus?
11934Would that have proved his capacity for affection?
11934Would you call a mother affectionate who fondled her child, but allowed it to starve while she gratified her own appetite?
11934You expect my father to give me away for ten cows?
11934Your father said to me, Wo n''t you eat with us?
11934[ 138] What was the treatment of women by Hottentots as witnessed by Kolben?
11934[ 169] Would our friend Stephens be fearless enough to claim that this custom also was taught the natives by the degraded whites?
11934_ How_ does he love Briseis?
11934a last farewell?
11934can such in very truth be the case?
11934have we then each loved alike?"
11934he do same to please squaw[??]!
11934he do same to please squaw[??]!
11934he says; he does not say,''What is life without your love?''"
11934he was asked, as the''Head House''is frequented by bachelors and boys only;''What news of your new wife?''"
11934how could we suit one another, a girl who knows nothing of love and has grown up perfectly wild with the young gazelles?
11934or should she end it all by committing suicide?
11934retorts the viduschaka--"the king himself has revealed the secret?
11934says the Kamraviona,''what wonders will happen next?''"
11934says the friend;"and whom have you sent in advance?"
11934tell me honestly, I ask you: do the bracelets of all women become larger when the lover is far away?"
11934tell me what shall thy wages be?"
11934what means this accursed, proud reserve?"
11934wonders Urvasi, and her friend replies,"Is there not an answer in his limbs, which have become like withered lotos stalks?"
11934would you remain here?"
11934would you throw your life away for a girl?
53937A human being, does she find equality in the State? 53937 A wife-- does she find equality in love and marriage?
53937But is she so? 53937 Do you believe that Madame de Girardin would deposit a less intelligent vote in the electoral urn than that of her footman?"
53937In the name of this principle, what ameliorations have we demanded in the laws and customs? 53937 It is in marriage that the sources of good and evil are found; would you know why?
53937Might he not have good reason for acting in this manner?
53937Right, my child: but if a young man who was free should speak of love, and urge you to write to him in secret?
53937Shall we speak of the present? 53937 Well, Madam, what did I tell you in my last letter?
53937What is marriage?
53937What is their existence to- day( that of women)? 53937 What principle has served us in this as a guide?
53937What then are the means of subsistence for women destitute of fortune? 53937 What, mother, will he not always love me the same?"
53937Why not?
53937--_Id._ Do you understand clearly?
53937--_Id._ Do you understand me now?
53937--_Id._ What do you think of this theory?
53937A few only demand their rights, you say; but is it in accordance with principle or with numbers that you judge of the justice of a cause?
53937Among the working people, what class is most wretched?
53937An ideal in the brain of a horse or a mare may pass, since there is a brain; but where will you lodge that of the male and female flower?
53937And besides, do you think that liberty, which in man engenders individuality and virtue, would produce in woman moral degradation?
53937And how can it help suffering if it is reduced to servitude and oppressed by the other?
53937And if all this shame, all these griefs, all these crimes are true?
53937And if there is no fortune?
53937And in case the parents should be alike unworthy?
53937And ought not all serious discipline to tend to develop, not one phase of the being, but the ponderation, the harmony of all its phases?
53937And the men that belong to the great party of the future, how do you style them?
53937And what enlightenment do you fancy that you have given us?
53937And would you not fix the number of times that a divorced person might re- marry?
53937Answer, women: Is it true that the great majority of seduced women are incapacitated, through shame and poverty, from rearing their children?
53937Are all instincts good which are merely inclinations or attractions?
53937Are not wrong and wretchedness found everywhere, because inequality, the offspring of insane classifications, is found everywhere?
53937Are we not justified in asking you, whether you are for or against the Revolution?
53937Are women ill on the recurrence of the law peculiar to their sex?
53937Are you eclectic, then?
53937Are you fully sure of comprehending yourself better than we comprehend you?
53937Are you not of the same opinion?
53937Are you quite sure, my children, that the end of these attractions is not the attraction itself, the procurement of a pleasure?
53937Are you resolved to throw me into convulsions?
53937As far as we can foresee, Society must necessarily?
53937As to the rest, do they form a series?
53937Besides have I not said that, had I formed a classification, I should not give it?
53937Besides, what does Society do for them?
53937Between the brain that discovers a great natural law and the one that reflects on nothing?
53937Between the man of genius and the humble rag- picker?
53937Between the philosopher who elevates the human mind and the porter who does not even know how to read?
53937But among partners, is there really room for a ruling power?
53937But do they differ as you say?
53937But have you really the right to complain of it, you who have constituted yourself the chief whipper- in of the economists and the socialists?
53937But how can two individuals who, instead of being ruled by truth, are ruled only by their misdirected passions,--how can these two make but one?
53937But if the spouses ask to be divorced only on account of incompatibility of temper, and are both honorable?
53937But in this respect, among the number of men that write how many are there who have genius, and who never borrow from any one?
53937But tell me, what meaning do you give to the words_ sacrament_ and_ mystery_, that sound so hollow and false from your lips?
53937But the future of the children?
53937But then, Master, if man is all this, why do you reproach the men of our times with lack of courage, of dignity, of justice, of reason, of good faith?
53937But were your affirmation true, is naught but_ strength_ employed in labor?
53937But what did this Revolution do for them, I pray?
53937But what if one of the parties through caprice or evil motives is unwilling that the other should do something that is proper and advantageous?
53937But what is the use of discussing a thing that is devoid of meaning to the intellect?
53937But you, who wish to annihilate woman, from what principle do you draw such a consequence?
53937By reason of a purely accidental predominance, can one half of the human species be banished beyond the clouds of sentimentality?
53937By what token can we know that our instinct has a right tendency?
53937By whom are the boarding- schools, the farms, often even, the manufactories, sustained?
53937Can any one of you admit such a possibility?
53937Can it be possible that you trifle in this manner with your readers?
53937Can it be said that woman is wounded because she is subjected to a periodical fracture, the cicatrice of which is almost imperceptible?
53937Can such domination endure?
53937Can you explain, then, why it is that so often he does_ not_ resemble him?
53937Can you prove to me, a woman, that I desire to possess knowledge differently from you?
53937Can you, a man of heart, can you treat women as wretched and corrupt because they are willing no longer to be slaves?
53937Come; seriously, what means this jingle of empty words?
53937Did not most among you, ladies, purchase your husbands with so much dowry, so much income, so much_ expectations_?
53937Did you wait for the revendication of_ all_ the slaves of your colonies before emancipating them?
53937Did you wait until_ all_ the male population demanded their right of universal suffrage in order to decree it to them?
53937Do I dispute it?
53937Do not women demand them, gentlemen?
53937Do you admit that woman is identical in species with man?
53937Do you comprehend at last?
53937Do you consider Marriage as indissoluble?
53937Do you deny that they are your equals because they are less intelligent as a whole than men?
53937Do you deny that, if they differ, they should have different functions?
53937Do you feel the deplorable courage to expose yourself to such risks?"
53937Do you know who were, who are the infatuated?
53937Do you know why, in 1848, so many women, especially among the people, declared themselves for the Revolution?
53937Do you not even interdict to her those vocations in which strength is needed, or which are attended with danger?
53937Do you not see that free marriages are happier and more lasting than any others?
53937Do you reproach a man then for taking our part against the selfish and animal passions of his sex, and against the impunity accorded them by the laws?
53937Do you reproach him for taking in hand the cause of morals and health, in opposition to the degradation of soul and body?
53937Do you wish to save the perishing world?
53937Do you wish women to take to heart matters of general interest?
53937Does Proudhon remember how he threatens the priest who shall lay his hand on his children?
53937Does he feel that this creed classes him among the abettors of the dogmatism of the Middle Age, and does he recoil before such a responsibility?
53937Does this signify that woman should oppress man?
53937During the suit for divorce, who shall have the control of the property?
53937Either what they do is right, and therefore can not be wrong in woman; Or what they do is wrong; then why do they do it?
53937Every organ supposes a function, it is true, but what_ facts_ authorize you to say that the married couple is the organ of justice?
53937Has not this malady, impelling theocratists and legislators to divide humanity into castes and classes, caused most of the calamities of our species?
53937Has woman less time and capacity than your working men, pinned twelve hours a day to their petty and stultifying tasks?
53937Have we a right to say to half the human kind: you shall not have your share in life and in the state?
53937Have we not seen your pretensions to superiority confounded by Catharine, who trampled under foot the masculine sex?
53937Have you changed your opinion?
53937Have you ever thought of doing so?
53937Have you had at your disposal, can you place at ours these proofs_ de facto_?
53937Have you not yourself admitted that to separate the parties in these unions, it often suffices to join them legally?
53937Have you proved that in this menagerie, they think falsely, they write badly, they are worth nothing as to conscience until forty- five years of age?
53937Have you proved this?
53937He then continues in a serious strain:"What matters tradition to us?
53937How did you form it?
53937How long a time should elapse between the admission of the petition and the judgment of divorce?
53937How shall we set to work to remedy this iniquitous and shameful state of affairs?
53937How will she become the equal of man in civil dignity?
53937I confine myself to a single question; what education do women receive?
53937I have finished, Master; have you anything more to say?
53937I said to myself, not without disquietude, What is the matter?
53937If a woman should say such things, what a universal hue and cry would be raised?
53937If she has no dowry, how can she marry in this world in which woman, never representing anything but a passive being, is forced to buy a husband?...
53937If the union were without protection, who would suffer by it?
53937In every other branch of administration, has not woman given lessons to man?
53937In my turn, I ask you: What would have impelled Proudhon, a Roman slave, to play the part of Spartacus?
53937In order to establish it, did you carry a dynamometer about through our districts and measure the strength of each man and of each woman?
53937In the face of these undeniable facts, I ask you, yourself, what becomes of your theory?
53937In which man is reputed to support by his labor those who often labor more than he, or who bring him a dowry?
53937Is equality before the law based upon_ individual_ qualities?
53937Is he not then,_ adequate to his destiny_, as you have affirmed?
53937Is it in these things that his knowledge consists?
53937Is it love?
53937Is it not the duty of society to secure the progress of its members, and can any one have a right to keep a human being in ignorance and evil?
53937Is it not to deny to them( to women) their title of human beings?
53937Is it not to disinherit the state itself?
53937Is it not to expose a woman to adultery, to marry her at seventeen or eighteen to a man of thirty, forty or even fifty years of age?
53937Is it ours, who desire to please you and to be loved by you, or yours, who can only be attracted by dress?
53937Is it so necessary that we should fight?
53937Is it true, lastly, that this same selfishness and this same confidence are the cause of thousands of human lives being criminally sacrificed?
53937Is not the moral liberty of the spouses as worthy of respect as that of nuns, priests and monks?
53937Is not this somewhat exaggerated, Master?
53937Is she in such haste to grow old?"
53937Is she treated by us as an equal?
53937Is this in conformity with our ideal of human love?
53937Is this the cry of their outraged nature, or an aberration of their understanding?
53937Is this to say that I admit all the ideas of M. de Girardin?
53937Is this your intention?
53937Is woman to- day, in so far as a human being, really treated as the equal of man?
53937Is your intellect so feeble that it does not comprehend that, without marriage, there is not, there can not be justice?
53937It is not so, my dear sister?
53937It is true; but do you believe that to affirm this suffices to improve, to transform the method of education?
53937It is true; but do you believe that to verify these things suffices to remedy our abasement?
53937It is true; but do you think that to verify the evil suffices to cure it?
53937Lastly, Master, what is the position of all women relatively to all men?
53937Let men suffer themselves to be deceived by our mask, nothing is more natural; but what is the use of playing the farce among women?
53937Look then at the men who have received a feminine education; have they not all the affectation, all the narrowness of mind of silly women?
53937M. Legouvé, is this logic?
53937Most assuredly; else what signifies our arguments against separation?
53937My son, says she, what is the end of the attraction of mineral molecules towards each other?
53937No; and if you neither have them nor can procure them, what is your thesis, if not the illusion of a brain sick with pride and with hatred of woman?
53937Now I have never learned that any keeper of a seraglio had been transformed into an odahlic; have you?
53937Now gentlemen, what becomes of these pretensions in the presence of_ facts_ that show you all unequal in strength and in intellect?
53937Of what, then, is Michelet thinking, in laying such stress on the diseases of women in the face of the quite as numerous diseases of men?
53937Old, ugly and forsaken, she must be thrown into the car of the condemned to be transported to the guillotine?
53937On the other hand, do you cultivate the intellect of man by novels, theatres, and spectacles of criminal courts?
53937Once more, am I to blame for it?
53937Ought society to permit unions disproportioned in age?
53937Poetry aside, can you, in exact and definite terms, explain to me what they mean?
53937Shall I tell you what I really think?
53937Shall we demand the suppression of separation from bed and board?
53937Shall we impute this to it as a crime?
53937Shall we refute such doctrines?
53937Shall we, in conclusion, compare your doctrine concerning the right of woman with that which you profess concerning right in general?
53937She therefore comprehends, feels, and loves justice?
53937Since in our days men play the mandolin, is it not necessary that women should speak seriously?
53937So there is neither liberty nor equality even for the woman who has not a father or husband?
53937Tell me, is there commutability between the qualities that distinguish men from each other?
53937Temperament, the source of right?
53937That Society_ does not recognize vows_, and that proceedings can not be instituted against their violation?
53937That she is an affective power, you say... yes, but, as to that, man is such, likewise; and is not woman, as well as he, alike intellect and activity?
53937That slaves accustomed to their chains, do not feel them until their instigators to revolt show them the bruises on their flesh?
53937That the compensation of labor and of competition should be regulated according to Labor, Capital and Talent?
53937That the conversation of these women exhausts, enervates the men who are not there?
53937That the most opposite, the most diverse passions are the conditions_ sine quâ non_ of harmony?
53937That the primordial element of a system of society should be the Societary or Phalansterian association?
53937That there, in the absence of men, the women take the initiative in affairs of love?
53937That these women prefer the old, ugly and wicked men, or the pretty, mincing puppets, who are not at their disposal?
53937That what you call a first fault, drives the greater part of them to make a traffic of their charms?
53937That woman is elevated by man, who is elevated only by himself and by God?
53937The division thus fixed, what ought woman to do?
53937The divorce being granted, and the ex- partners restored to liberty, would you permit them to marry others?
53937The excellent Leroux asks who does not feel, who does not admit at the present day the equality of the sexes?
53937Then all of the animal and vegetable species in which the sexes are separated have an ideal in love?
53937Then marriage is necessary to all?
53937Then one does not perish entirely, as you taught your disciples?
53937Then woman shall have rights if she is beautiful, and as long as she shall continue so; if she is beloved, and as long as she shall continue so?
53937Then, great economist, what do we do with_ skill_?
53937This may be very fine, but as to being_ rational_ and_ positive_--what do you think, readers?
53937This regards civil Right in general; what reforms shall we demand concerning married women?
53937To say that marriage is an institution_ sui generis_, a_ sacrament_, a_ mystery_, is to affirm what?
53937To what inclination or attraction is Society due?
53937To what new careers does she give them access?
53937To which of our faculties, our virtues, our prerogatives; or else of our failings, our perfidies, our calamities, do they aspire?
53937Upon men?
53937Upon what elements do you base this proportion?
53937Upon whom falls all the expense of illegitimate children?
53937Upon whom then will you have a right to count, if you abandon yourselves?
53937Was it not by becoming a child again in order to comprehend you, that I fulfilled my sacred task of instructor?
53937We are about to speak of Marriage from the stand point of the modern ideal-- how do you define it?
53937Well, is it not dangerous to accord it to those who would employ it against this end?
53937Well, what happens most of the time, in cases of illegitimacy?
53937What am I doing to- day, in the name of a legion of women of whom I am the interpreter?
53937What are a host of American women doing at the present time?
53937What are the reasons which you would consider valid for a petition for divorce?
53937What are these functions relative to her degree of present development?
53937What are these worth, I ask you, gentlemen?
53937What are we to do, you say?
53937What are we to do?
53937What are you to do, ladies?
53937What arguments do the adversaries of the emancipation of women use to refute the equality of the rights of the sexes?
53937What did Jean Deroin, Pauline Roland and many others, do here in 1848?
53937What do you hold as the basis of right?
53937What does this mean in plain language?
53937What does this prove?
53937What follows from all this?
53937What follows from these divergent affirmations?
53937What follows from these undeniable facts?
53937What harmony of sentiments and views can exist at that time between the spouses?
53937What have a number of English women done already?
53937What inspires him with the sentiment of his dignity, the scorn of falsehood, the hatred of injustice, the abhorence of all tyranny?
53937What is it that troubles them?
53937What is such a contract, if not the violation of the principle which affirms that no covenant can be made involving persons?
53937What is the end of political right?
53937What is the end of the attraction of the plant for heat, light, air, the elements which it absorbs?
53937What is the object of Legouvé''s work?
53937What is the ruling power?
53937What is this institution, in which man is reputed to defend his wife and children with his sword, whom the law defends, even against him?
53937What is this_ essence_, and this_ living elixir_ of science?
53937What man would consent to we d a woman in the same position?
53937What matters history to us?
53937What part do you assign to Society in Marriage?
53937What reasons do you give, besides, to support your opinions?
53937What reforms do you demand with respect to the family council and guardianship?
53937What rights would you grant these inferior and feeble natures?
53937What should be these conditions for the enjoyment of political right, in your opinion?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a Russian serf, to take the character of Poutgachef?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a black slave, to become a Toussaint L''Ouverture?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a citizen of''89, to overthrow the privileges of the nobility and the clergy?
53937What would have impelled Proudhon, a feudal serf, to organize a Jacquerie?
53937What would you think of the man who should act thus with respect to your own companion?"
53937When will woman become the equal of man in marriage?
53937When will woman become the equal of man in the employment of her activity and of her other faculties?
53937When will you be ashamed of the part to which you are condemned?
53937When will you respond to the appeal that generous and intelligent men have made to you?
53937Whence comes it that you greet the queen with your sympathies, while you have nought but words of blame and contempt for the revolutionist?
53937Where is now to- day the_ ville- pedaille_, the villains and base- tenants, fit only to drain ditches and to be stripped to the skin?
53937Which of us two is the more reasonable and more rational?
53937Who are they that earn from sixteen to eighteen sous for twelve hours of labor?
53937Who bear all the disgrace of faults committed through passion?
53937Who establish, who superintend the thousands of establishments of millinery and objects of taste?
53937Who should take custody of the children and the property during the proceedings?
53937Who would dare maintain such absurdities to- day, brave and upright Leroux?
53937Who would dare maintain that woman is an inferior being, of whom man is the guide and beacon light?
53937Why are all those women who produce, while their husbands and sons enjoy and dissipate, destitute of the rights which the latter possess?
53937Why are intelligent women thus dissatisfied with so upright a man as Michelet?
53937Why do both sexes of the same species experience an attraction towards each other?
53937Why do not you do as much as they?
53937Why do the females, and often males among animals experience an inclination or attraction to take care of the young?
53937Why do we as well as the animals experience an inclination or attraction for certain kinds of food?
53937Why fix it?
53937Why he resembles a grandfather, an uncle, an aunt, a brother, a sister of one of the parents?
53937Why is your letter in contradiction with this doctrine?
53937Why many children resemble portraits which had attracted the attention of the mother?
53937Why negresses who conceive from a white, bring into the world a mulatto, oftenest with thick lips, a flat nose, and woolly hair?
53937Why not?
53937Why ought every field of occupation to be accessible to woman?
53937Why ought the testimony of woman to be admitted in all cases in which that of man is required?
53937Why ought woman to be admitted to academies and professional schools?
53937Why ought woman to have a place on the jury?
53937Why ought woman to have her place in boards of trade and mercantile associations?
53937Why ought woman to hold a place among civil functionaries?
53937Why ought women to receive the same national education as men?
53937Why then do you admit that they may associate things in a private contract which can not be subjected to a common measure?
53937Why then do you claim that these men should be_ equal socially_?
53937Why then, when the child has become a young man, do you say:_ Young men must sow their wild oats_?
53937Why this sequestration in the midst of the nineteenth century, do you ask?
53937Why, in fine, physiologists, impressed by numerous facts, have thought themselves justified in declaring woman_ the preserver of the type_?
53937Will words, complaints and protestations have power to change any of these things?
53937Will you generalize the character of this inclination or attraction in accordance with what we have just said?
53937With what do they reproach us?
53937Would he not be punished?"
53937Yet, in the face of a task so complicated, you ask: what are we to do?
53937You are inclined to seclude woman, instead of emancipating her?
53937You claim that we have no morality, because we lack respect towards the dignity of others; who has set us this detestable example more than you?
53937You do not admit the question of product into that of right when man is in question, why then do you admit it when woman is in question?
53937You have been told that love is irrepressible; are we then beings of fatality?
53937You, who style yourself the champion of the principles of''89--who are the men and women whom you attack?
53937Your love will become transformed, why shall not his be the same?
53937Your rivals organize industrial associations, why do not you imitate them?
53937Youth, freshness, poetry-- does she wish, at the first blow, to abandon all these?
53937_ All_ women do not make reclamations, no; but do you not know that every demand of right is made at first singly?
53937_ The mania of imposing laws on Nature, instead of studying Nature''s own laws, afterwards confirmed this aphorism of ignorance._"Who said this?
53937_ To which of our faculties, our virtues, our prerogatives does he aspire?
53937can it be more lawful to alienate one''s person by a contract of slavery?
53937do you dispute that marriage by_ confarreation is not the masterpiece of the human conscience_?
53937do you fix the number of times that a widow or widower may marry again?
53937do you think that it would be possible?
53937even though it were true that women were inferior to men, would it follow that their rights were not the same?
53937exclaims the classifiers, do you deny that the sexes differ?
53937have you seen women outside of society, who would have taken men for monkeys?
53937my learned Master, how do these things harmonize in your brain?
53937nothing more?
53937say you?
53937what does this vile slave, this unworthy serf, this audacious and stupid citizen want of us, then?
53937what essential difference do you find between this kind of contract, and those that are made to- day before the notary on the occasion of a marriage?
53937what would you do?"
53937you here?
9390''How much do I owe you?'' 9390 ''Me, Constable----, where''s Joe?
9390''What about my debt?'' 9390 ''What for?''
9390''What time?'' 9390 ''What training?''
9390''Where are you going, Anna?'' 9390 ''Who''s there?''
9390''Why?'' 9390 A barkeeper asked me, lady, what are you doing in a place like this?''
9390Ai n''t they the limit?
9390And now wo n''t you try to love my poor shorn little lambs? 9390 Are you not taking great chances by having that where strangers can see it?"
9390Are you the party what was here last night trying to make trouble?
9390Are you willing to change the name of the home?
9390Brother St. John, will you lead in prayer?
9390But do n''t you know, dear boy, you are going to live in constant dread if you do that? 9390 But does not the vagrancy law protect you?"
9390But what has all that to do with your possession of this key?
9390But, my boy,I''ve replied,"how are you going to account for your long absence and explain where you have been?"
9390By and by Grandmother says,''What''s become of Tom? 9390 Callie?
9390Constable, my boy does n''t drink anything to speak of, and I do n''t suppose he knows one card from another; do you, Joe?'' 9390 Dear, have you a mother?"
9390Did I tell you Tom drank beer? 9390 Did n''t you say no girl had to sign any papers here, and that if she had no money, the home was free to her?"
9390Did n''t you say that no questions that might embarrass me would be asked?
9390Do n''t you know? 9390 Do n''t you remember me, Mother Roberts?"
9390Do n''t you remember what I told you? 9390 Do you know the parties, either of them?"
9390Do you mean it?
9390Do you see this?
9390Does, oh, does he love so dear-- ly? 9390 Elsie do you love Jesus?"
9390Father,I prayed,"hast thou sent us on this errand?
9390Furnish for what?
9390Has your mama known this chef very long?
9390Have you asked him to forgive you?
9390Have you taught school?
9390Hello; who wants me?
9390How did I come by it?
9390How did it happen you came here, my child?
9390How happened it that you met the man you called your husband, Saidie?
9390How many desire an interest in our prayers, that you may lead lives that will fit you for heaven instead of sending you down to an awful hell? 9390 Hurt?
9390I nearly fainted with fright, but what was I to do? 9390 I said to one poor girl,''Do you enjoy this life?''
9390Is it not strange,she wrote,"that in all this great city none come to her aid excepting for a few hours at a time?
9390Is she living yet? 9390 Is that it?
9390Is your papa long dead, dear?
9390Madam, can I assist you?
9390May I speak to you a moment?
9390Mother dear,inquired poor, tired, hungry, over- heated Lucy,"I wonder if God really wants us to hunt a home for the girls, after all?
9390Mother, do you mean it? 9390 My child, what has happened that you are here?"
9390My dear child,I said,"will you give me your San Francisco address, your mother''s name and initials?
9390Oh, yes, I know, but I mean some one sometimes alone and playing something that sounds like a guitar- mandolin like we have at home?
9390On that dirty floor?
9390One or two?
9390Ruby dear, do you know me?
9390Say what, Lucy?
9390Say, do you mind telling me who you are?
9390Say, what yer got in that case?
9390Sister Shearer dear, what can I do to help this blessed work?
9390Tell me, did you know my darling girl?
9390That dignified, white- haired woman, third row on our left?
9390That old, old woman; what of her?
9390That pretty fair- haired girl about sixteen?
9390Was he a stranger to me and my folks when I first met him? 9390 Was her husband with her?"
9390Was that sufficient to provide food, clothing, and shelter for all three of you?
9390What about the lad who has committed this awful deed? 9390 What are we going to do next?"
9390What are you trying to do, Sonny? 9390 What became of the grandparents-- the ones responsible before God for her misfortunes?"
9390What did they arrest me for? 9390 What do you think of it, dear?"
9390What is a county hospital for?
9390What is it, dear?
9390What is''hit the pipe'', Callie?
9390What murder?
9390What must I do? 9390 What of it?"
9390What of your two companions, Joe?
9390What requirements?
9390What were you doing for a living, dear?
9390When?
9390Where am I to sleep, Mother dear?
9390Where is mother? 9390 Where were your husband and your son all this time?"
9390Where, Miss Blank?
9390Where? 9390 Who are you, my man, and where have we met?"
9390Who are you?
9390Who is she?
9390Who told you?
9390Who was Rita?
9390Who were these sisters?
9390Whoever heard of any man worth the having, seeking for a wife and the future mother of his children in a ballroom? 9390 Why are you veiled, B----?"
9390Why did n''t you appeal to the authorities, girls?
9390Why did you not immediately expose him to the firm?
9390Why do you say,''God willing''? 9390 Why not, dear?
9390Why, Mother, do n''t you remember?
9390Why, what kind of unnatural mother could she have been?
9390Why? 9390 Will I?
9390Will one of our congregation now call for a song?
9390Will you honor me by dining with me this evening, half an hour hence?
9390Wish some one would take a like interest in me,"Come back and see us once in a while,or,"Wo n''t you write me?
9390Would you be willing to lay down your life for little Rita, for the sake of her soul?
9390Would you care to hear her?
9390Would you still go if you could? 9390 You do n''t know any one here, do you, Mother?"
9390You were? 9390 You''ll tell me, wo n''t you?
9390''Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee?''
9390''Can you be ready to leave right away?''
9390''Henry, what are you doing?
9390''Hold on,''he said, as we were about to leave and try some other agency;''would you be willing to leave town?
9390''How long, O Lord, how long?''
9390''Patient?''
9390''There is one thing more I must tell you,''I said to a young, attractive- looking boy,''What attracts you here?''
9390''What''s up?''
9390''tis wonderful what a good meal can do for you when you''re hungry, is n''t it?
9390( Reader, our Savior ate with publicans and sinners; are we, professed Christians, better than he?
9390***** Will you come with me to one of our county hospitals this afternoon?
9390*****"Well, when will you be at home?
93902:"Can you suggest a better name?"
939059:19)?
939084:11,"The Lord is a sun and shield; the Lord will give grace and glory: no good thing will be withhold from them that walk uprightly"?
9390A white- haired, elderly lady who had sat opposite to me on the return trip, now pleasantly remarked:"Cincinnati is well worth a visit, is it not?"
9390After a pause she said,"Mrs. Roberts, will you please do me a favor?"
9390After many trips for this purpose I at last saw a place which delighted my heart; but-- would the owner part with it?
9390After prayer I inquired,"Laura, dear, why must you be compelled to be on duty?
9390After rising from his knees, he said,"Lady, will you trust me with a quarter?
9390And I used to say to myself,''_ I wonder what she would do if she found out who Dollie was?_''She was a Christian.
9390And are these all?
9390And now what was I to do?
9390And the tears of( righteous?)
9390Any objection?''
9390As I looked at that little sum in my calloused hand, I said,''Dollie, it''s the first honest money you ever earned; does n''t it make you feel good?''
9390At five o''clock?
9390Because of this, how many souls are going to be lost?
9390Before the girl had time to think or answer, he was right on hand, saying,"May I have the pleasure of the next waltz?
9390But are you not too busy?"
9390But some( are you among them?)
9390But what had come over me?
9390But why does she stand stock still?
9390Ca n''t part with them?
9390Callie, what are they?"
9390Callie----?
9390Can I ever forget that first prayer- meeting of the new year, 1907?
9390Can you accompany me?"
9390Can you not return to my home with me today?
9390Can you spare time to see her today?"
9390Could it possibly have been any worse in other places than in this one?
9390D''you hear?"
9390Dear Mrs. Roberts, can you bring before your mind''s eye this picture?
9390Did I regret the past toil, privations, and disappointments?
9390Did I say alone?
9390Did I say lonely?
9390Did I tell her?
9390Did ever he fail his own in the hour of need?
9390Did he succeed?
9390Did n''t you...?''
9390Did this experience affect my future career?
9390Did we always succeed?
9390Did you ever hear her sing?"...
9390Did you know the''dope''fiends lose their appetites for everything but the drug?
9390Do n''t I look different?
9390Do n''t I look happy?"
9390Do n''t you understand, Lucy?
9390Do we mean it?
9390Do you hear that loud weeping in the parlor?"
9390Do you know a girl shot herself just now in Miss Blank''s house?
9390Do you know him?"
9390Do you remember me?"
9390Do you think you could get any one to hire me?"
9390Do you?
9390Does the bird with the broken pinion ever soar as high again?
9390Does this cause the smoking, drinking, swearing, card- playing, Godless parents to halt and reflect?
9390Does this fill the mother of cherished, idolized little ones with remorse of conscience?
9390For a moment she looked alarmed, but did she heed?
9390From whom did this come?
9390Hatred?
9390Have the rest of the band arrived yet?
9390Have you heard the news?
9390Her next question was,"Pardon me, but have you any dinner engagement?
9390Here''s my quarter, whose next?"
9390His greeting was:"Well, well, Sister Kauffman, how do you do, and how are all your family?
9390How are you?"...
9390How can he be so courageous?
9390How could I?
9390How could I?"
9390How dare you impose yourself on me?''
9390How did they accept, you ask?
9390How do you account for that?
9390How do you procure them?"
9390How far had this earthquake extended?
9390How many trophies for the Savior''s crown would have been hers?
9390How was it faring with them?
9390How''s all the rest of them?"
9390I can not go to her; will you?"
9390I do n''t know what to make of it, do you?"
9390I hope you are n''t offended at what I did""Brother Louis, do n''t you realize that God used you to answer my prayer?"
9390I must obey; but how?
9390I reached S----- at 7:30 P.M. On our way to the Hotel Reba whispered,"Mother Roberts, will you occupy my room with me tonight?
9390I whispered:"Are you asleep, Lucy?"
9390I wished I could die then and there, but what was the use?
9390I wonder how many of us realize this?
9390I''ve made a resolution, but with this proviso: if I never touch another card, will you promise me never to play again?"
9390I''ve no use for stingy folk, have you?
9390If not, pray tell me what will?
9390In addition to that, where would she go if she did not like her first glimpse of the dance- hall, an ignorant, friendless girl in a strange town?
9390Is it degrading, demoralizing?
9390Is n''t he to be pitied?
9390Is that all?
9390Is that stranger the only procurer?
9390Is that you, Cora?''
9390It hurts?
9390It was a particular favorite with our family in the rescue home, some girl often remarking,"Does n''t it just seem to fit my case, Mother Roberts?"
9390It was not at all strange( now was it?)
9390Like David of old, I inquired of the Lord as to whether to continue with them or start anew?
9390Luke 17:1, 2 Have you, my reader, helped"grease the hill"that"one of these little ones"was sliding down, so that she soon reached the bottom?
9390Mamie, I wonder if you could n''t come, too?
9390May I inquire from whence you come?"
9390May I pray for you?"
9390Miss Blank?"
9390Miss Loraine?
9390Mother Roberts, how can I think God is good?
9390My reply was a question:"Could you not have kept a respectable lodging- house, my dear Miss Loraine?"
9390Now, my dear friend, do you not think that encouraging?
9390Old Adam dies very hard sometimes, does n''t he?
9390Oliver Wendell Holmes when asked,"When should a child''s education begin?"
9390One ca n''t expect much of a place for one dollar and fifty cents a week, can they?''
9390One day whilst I was visiting another, the landlady asked:"Have you ever called on Miss Loraine?"
9390One said to the other,"Were n''t you immensely interested in those dreadful word- pictures from real life?"
9390Plunge it anew into the precious blood of Jesus, Thus anew-- the work''s begun.... You''re wining?
9390Presently I succeeded, and soon she was asking:"''Is this Harry?''
9390Presently she continued,"Are you going to remain for some time here?
9390Presently, following some rapid questions and answers, she said,"How would you like to surprise your former companions, Callie?"
9390Putting her hand over the mouthpiece and turning to me, she asked:"Can you call at five this evening?"
9390Quickly I replied:"If that landlady does not know your voice,''phone, asking if she has any new girls at present?
9390Reader, what answer would you, had you been in my place, have made?
9390Roberts?"
9390Say, Mother Roberts, could n''t you make some excuse to get into her cell?
9390Say, Mother Roberts, when you go to San Francisco again, will you let me go with you?
9390Say, who was that singing out in the big dormitory a while ago?"
9390Shall I discredit the statements of the hunter because I saw no tigers?
9390She addressed the old man thus:"How d''you do, sir?
9390She hired a hack at the depot; was n''t she considerate?
9390She managed to inquire:"Who''s this, Anna?
9390She shrieked it:"Tell me, madam, was-- it-- all-- right-- with-- my-- baby-- girl?"...
9390Sister and I looked around for a minute, and then both of us said to the woman,''What kind of a place is this?''
9390So she raised a lady(?).
9390Soon I heard her voice:"What is it, please; what do you wish?"
9390Stepping over to her, I softly said,"Do n''t be frightened, dear, but is your name Elsie?"
9390Tell me why that sign if the dance is strictly respectable?
9390That first evening alone on the rostrum-- shall I ever forget it?
9390The Messengers( the Doves) Her Voice Still Nearer Was It You?
9390The cause?
9390The clerk asked,''What address?''
9390The gentleman(?)
9390The undertaking looked stupendous; nevertheless, what was to hinder if this were the plan of God?
9390Then where will you spend eternity?"
9390These same kids went to the same one I did, and do you think I could shake''em?
9390This being corroborated by a number sitting or standing around, she next said:"Did you come to investigate last night''s murder?"
9390This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is of me, saith the Lord"?
9390This time a man''s voice inquired,"Who''s there?"
9390To be sure, that is expensive, but...""What is he driving at?"
9390Too much to pay?
9390Toward the close of the song, Can a boy forget his mother''s prayer, When he has wandered God knows where?
9390Under such circumstances, what inducement have they who, if encouraged, would do better?
9390Upon stooping to pick it up, she discovered that she was forestalled by a well- dressed gentleman(?
9390Was it you?
9390Was it you?
9390Was it you?]
9390Was that all?
9390Was the mission thereafter a failure?
9390Was the rescue work that I so dearly loved, at a standstill?
9390What better assurance than in verses 10, 11, and 12?
9390What can I do?"
9390What could I do but make the best of it?
9390What did a little fifteen- year- old fool like me know, with no mother to teach her, and no woman to take a real interest?
9390What did she mean?
9390What did this mean?
9390What did this mean?
9390What did you do?
9390What disposition of remains?"
9390What do you want him for?''
9390What if I should get nabbed?''
9390What think you, dear reader, would have been the outcome?
9390What was I now going to do?
9390What was I to do?
9390What was I to do?
9390What was she doing in this strange room?
9390What will these people think-- that I am an ex- jail bird?"
9390What would my former society friends say or think should any chance to meet me with them?"
9390What would you suggest?"
9390What''s your name, lady?"
9390When are you coming down again?
9390When did you get out?
9390When we returned to Mrs. Kincaid''s quarters, she inquired if I should like to see a photo of Callie as she formerly looked?
9390When you persuaded me to come to this place, did n''t you tell me I need give only my first name?"
9390Where do you live?
9390Where have you been?"
9390Where will it all eventually end?
9390Where, where were the others going?
9390Wherefore?
9390Who are you?"
9390Who could have sent it?
9390Who does not love a baby?
9390Who does not love that beautiful, most pathetic song entitled"The Ninety and Nine"?
9390Who does not pity this worse than motherless child?
9390Who was responsible for this?
9390Who will be the first to witness for Jesus this morning?"
9390Who''ve you brought with you?"
9390Why are they here?"
9390Why did I not have her arrested?
9390Why did n''t some one warn me?
9390Why did n''t you finish her while you were about it?"
9390Why do you wish to know?"
9390Why have I told you this?
9390Why inhale such long, deep breaths?
9390Why should I believe his word?
9390Why?
9390Why?
9390Wilt go a little further on this road?...
9390With nothing less-- will you be satisfied?
9390Wo n''t you take him for your Savior right now?"
9390Would it be asking too much of you to inquire just where those six acres are located?"
9390Would my husband''s visitor never go?
9390Would n''t she come?"
9390Would you let me sleep with you?"
9390Would you think there was anything out of the common in any of these features?"
9390Yes?
9390You ask if this is an exceptional case?
9390You did n''t know?
9390You do not understand?
9390You know where the county hospital is, do n''t you?
9390You wish to know the names of all these wheels?
9390You wonder what you are going to do about it?
