Abstract

In the Driftway
November 21, 1923 issue

add to cart   close window

The article presents the personal experience of a drifter. As he passed St. Paul's churchyard, he saw a curious sight: the spellbinders were there, the sweating soul-savers, beating the air in the name of Christianity or their particular version of it and in the crowd which daily presses around the frenzied speaker he had, in two years, seen not more than at most three women amid the scores of men. The drifter will not pretend to interpret this scene. Let those who wish to draw deductions from external observation say that the absence of women at these gatherings proves that women are not curious or anxious for new experience, or that they are too sensible to waste time.
