Women Are Recognized Culturally.
Women may have struggled for
recognition in the political and
business world. bllt in point of cul-
ture it nppears that throughout the
ages.» she has been naturally if
rather gradually. coming into her
own.
Clayton Hamilton. New York dra-
matic critic. tells mi that the drama
originally was written for and acted
by men. Greek drama in the days of
Pericles was not attended by women.
although audiences of 20,000 men
worn a usual thing.
liven in Silukvspenre‘s lime, wo-
men were not Fxpi'i‘li‘il to attend
plays. No “omen appeared Oil the
stage. feminine roles being played
by boys. Shakespeare‘s plays were
written to appeal to men.
Moliei‘o. the famous French play-
wright, did tho sumo—his lending
parts were written for and given to
men. The women‘s parts did not
amount -‘.0 much.
in the last hundred years things
have changed, lhsell being one of
the pioneers who wrote largely for
women und gave his chief roles to
women.
New. women. we are told. form
the. greater part of the discriminaiv
lng audiences of line plays. and as a
class would appear to onln‘ocinlo the
great possibilities of the drama
more than men.
'As for the change in theme. that
of giving women the leading dra-
matic roles in more recently com.
posed plays—ls there not a reason?
As long as woman was kept in
the background of the home with
no interest save her housekeeping,
she was an undmmniie figure. As
soon as she became a personality, a
creature with problems, and ideals.
and a struggle on her hands to get
away from her subordinate scrvillty
-then shl- became interesting
enough to be dramatic. Since then
she has continued to be a creature
to be, reckoned with in the dramatic
world.
Now. she not only occupies the
chief roles in the drama. but a cen-
ter sent in oritlcs‘ row.

In "Emile." published by Rousseau

If feminists are sometimes dis-

SORRY BCMOBIS'I‘S.
(Hartford Times)
Probably the editors of the liar-
vard Lampoon will be surprised to
find that their Princeton game num-
ber has caused such it sensation.
They will wonder why the rest of
us cannot take a joke. and will point
to the fact that the Lampoon always
horses Harvard's opponents on the
occasion of its big games. This is
all very well. and it is true that
there have been numbers of the
Lampoon in the past which were
rather rough on Yale and Princeton
just as the Princeton Tiger and the
Yale Record have hiltl their fun at
lllt‘ nxpcnse of ouch other and of
Harvard.
liut this number of the Lampoon
was not very funny. and it was con-
siderably tinged “ilh bitterness. To
picture two hogs over the cupilou
“Let's root for old Princeton!" is
gratuitously insulting arid not in
the least amusing, and thc sugges-
tions about the morality of the
Princeton campus are ”high school
stuff." None of it would have been
taken seriously were. it not for the
bad feeling which apparently exists
between the two universities. ii‘ol-
li-ls reason the Lampoon selected
the worst possible time to be funny
in just this way. The magazine owes
l‘rlneeton an apology and another to
its l'i'tldorn for selling mem such a
sorry mass of poor jet-its for u. qtlur-

of common knowledge that this
form of gambling has assumed huge

at lvusl. in Bridgeport it is estimat-
t‘d that fully 25.000 Treasury lottery

there is no reason to believe that the
