Why Should a Woman 

 Outlive Her Usefulness ? 



1& Is complete absorption in her children, to the exclusion 

 of all other interests, the real duty of a married woman? 



<I Will the old ideal of a sheltered life, seclusion from the 

 vital work of the world, and self-sacrifice hold its own 

 against the awakening to larger interests among women 

 of to-day ? 



^ Who is to blame, if, through her inability to share one 

 thought with her husband outside of their domestic life, 

 a woman's married life is a failure ? 



^ These are the thoughts which one finds uppermost after 

 reading the powerful new romance 



VIRGINIA 



By ELLEN GLASGOW 



Author of "The Battle Ground," "The Voice of the People;* etc. 



In this story Miss Glasgow has pictured the South 

 of to-day in a love story of the children and grand- 

 children of those who fought in the war. The ideals 

 of a generation past, of woman's subordinate place, 

 of her sole duty of love and self-immolation for her 

 family — inevitably meet in conflict with the spirit 

 of the new age, which asks a place for woman side 

 by side with man in the work of the world.
