DAYS THAT ARE PAST

ROMANCE GONE FROM LIFE. There is a professor in the United States who is complaining that romance has gone out of modern life chiefly because modern women have so much freedom. “ The fact that women have entered men’s trades and professions and have attempted to be their equals in everything but responsibility,” ho says, “ has robbed them of their mysteries and romance. The net result is that a great deal of beauty lias gone out of our lives.” There was a time, in the gallant clays of wigs and winsome women, the professor goes on to say, when gentlemen would toast a lady in her shoo, filled to the brim with wine. But they were beautiful shoes, worn by beautiful feet, owned by beautiful women, says the ‘ Sunday Express.’ “ You would not catch any man drinking beer out of a policewomen's boots.”
