Show Modern Woman as a Candy Buyer. The powerful social movement in the direction of the freedom of women is being felt in this community. Women are "rising in their might" and "viewing "view-ing with alarm," and all that such things imply. They are beginning to assert their rights. I saw one of them who had just sat spellbound beneath the fervid oratory of Miss Maude Banks when the latter ' 'shook off the yoke of woman's slavery in peopling the world" enter a candy store and fix her determined deter-mined gaze upon the contents of a glass case. "Those are 60 cents a pound, madam," mad-am," said the candy girl, "and those are 45, and those are 50. " "Give me three of these, and two of these, and three of these," said the lady, la-dy, "and, mind you, I want just exactly exact-ly those I've pointed out, and they are not to be more than 10 cents, or I won't take them. " When the customer had departed, the candy girl, who was still a self satisfied slave, leaned against the case and fanned fan-ned herself with a paper bag. New York Herald. |
