On the contrary, lie states that ; it is but the natural result of a quickening quick-ening spirit of responsibility and independence inde-pendence and a consequent desire, on the part of women lo extend their ability m practical and useful fields. Hie militaristic trend of the nation, po many men having joined the army and navy, has also encouraged many women, through necessity, to learn to drive their cars, he points out. "Ouoo a woman has learned to drive her oar,"' expluins Browning, it is very infrequent that she gives it up. Iike most useful arts, the driving of an automobile brings unexpected delights. de-lights. There is a latent tascination for most every man or woman in mechanics me-chanics and when one realises the easy mastery of a machine wherein a power equal to thirty or moro horses is awatt- ! ing for one's command, the sensation is 1 just as enjovablo for women as for tnembers of tho other sex."
