It is as if the new woman were striving, by making the best of her present environments, and simply developing her woman nature instead of struggling to usurp man"s, to enunciate a philosophy of life which I shall so dignify homely duties and beautify the commonplace that her creed might well be:
"We shall pa.s.s through this world but once. If there be any kindness we can show, or any good thing we can do to any fellow-being, let us do it now. Let us not defer nor neglect it, for we shall not pa.s.s this way again."
THE END
