The baptism of religious idealism by the social spirit is now accomplished.

As Dr.Walter Rauschenbusch, that great prophet of a new social order, well says in his last thought-compelling book, "The social gospel has become orthodox." =Women Must be More Democratic.=--Women have been so long held within family interests that they, less than men, have had the discipline of democratic life within the labor world.

They are often the vicarious expressions of man's remaining aristocratic feeling, as Veblen has acutely outlined in his _Theory of the Leisure Class_.

Husbands still wish their wives to be more "select" than they find it wise longer to be themselves and more tenacious of inherited conventional forms than business or inclination longer allow for themselves.

Hence, women have not, as a rule, organized their households on as democratic principles and methods as men have organized their own work.
