She toU, moreover, as a woman, she lias certain fundamental qualities, different from those of the male, that are seemingly essential to the preservation of the home and to the progress of civilization. The most vital of those is her ethical idealism. To the many women who do not marry or do not have children there is presented the wide field of that larger family, the community. Therein are many occupations analogous to those of the household and requiring kindred powers, such as education, the fine arts, the domestic arts, medicine, nursing, organized philanthropy, and a long list of what may be called household and esthetic industries, such as the furnishing of food, clothing and shelter, the making and sidling of innumerable domestic supplies, and the filling of the increasing human need for decorative beauty. Many of these fields, such as teaching and the domestic arts, are the peculiar province of women; into others they are rapidly making their wav. Yet with notable exceptions women do not excel, do not, that is, reach the standards of achievement to which men, in the preeminently male occupations, have attained. As a consequence, those ethical and intellectual sides of human progress which, because they concern the family and the rearing of the child, are the most important, seriously lag behind g and the material side the applying of the earths resources to to luxury which is mainly in the hands of men. This is through no fault of woman and is no evidence of sex deficiencies. It is due to the fact that the intellectual equality of woman has only recently been acknowledged ; that she has never been broadly trained for those occupations which are clearly hers; and that the rapid advance in her opportunities for education has been along male lines instead of, towards developing, strengthening tfnd training those powers which are natural to her sex and essential to the right growth of civilization.

The effects of Ijove are so varied and curious that the subject seems inexhaustible at first sight. The "longer we live, however, the dearer grows the fact that the whole of humanity is divided into tyjiea. From the perfect type of each kind come paler and paler reproductions as in photographs that grow more and more shadowy as they are copied from the negative. We have ns many loves as there are types Tltere is the grande passion so fateful, so terrible, which we all dread aiidlong for the sacred fire will encircle tis in scorching flames amFreduce our hearts to ashes. This is loe at its none. Love so divine that despite, its dangers it is, and will ever lie, the worlds desire. There are pussionettes that grip us for a brief space and leave no memories sweet or deep, and what Shakespeare terms the love fancy, the first glow of passion in youth, the Coining of Eros, the rising of the curtain on the comedy or the dram of live. There is love the sentiment and love the pasitn, and the poor humans have so little understanding that they know not the one from the other.

Men feel love with more intensity than women, and thev forget more swiftly.
