Show M It Seems. To Be Coming A BRILLIANT Australian woman writes to the London Morning Post of conditions in Aus- B tralia. It has given suffrage to women, but H that has not settled 'matters. Now one class of B women are demanding that -women should enter H Parliament and make a fight for the removal of H ail restrictions on women in industrial and pro- H fcssional life and for woman to be no longer the H home-keeper, but to enter into general competi- H tion with man, though in that country there are H ten per cent more men than women. H This awakens anew the thought that this is truly the metallic age: The horse is giving way H before the automobile; electricity is fast becom- H ing the cook, now an apparatus has been created B 'whereby a person pours cream enough in a box H to insure a pound of butter, closes the bo and H gets up in the morning to find the butter there In H perfect quality. A button is touched and a H whole house is lighted from basement to garret H in an instant; the cow no longer looks for the H milk maid, a scullion comes along, attaches a H milking machine, touches a button and the milk- H ing is done; an electric evaporator is cleaning the H streets of New York; nearly everything is being H done Tjy machinery, and as things are going, in n H little while more every noise heard will have a H metallic ring, and the only babies that will be H born will be through immaculate conception. H No animals will be left except food animals; H homes will cease to exist for two reasons, one H that human affections will die and there will be H no more servant girls; it will be as in heaven; H there Will be no more marrying or giving in mar- H riage; the women will take charge of the police H courts and make short work of erring sister H women, and in the process will learn many things H which will have a tendency to have that wisdom H which came to Eve and caused her to become a H dress -maker; all old fashioned, motherly women H and house keepers will be relegated to the work H house, and the world will finally become perfect. |
