tsins every week a great deal of news
as to the progress earnes. women ara
making in every direction, and we
compile from it with pleasure what

tunstely, the majority OF American
women, and, in fact, all women, have
better ideas. II is this better class who
are striving increasingly for recogni-
ton. 1t is humiliating to an intelli.
gent woman TO know that she is not

things.

THE WELCOME TO PUSDITA RAMA

tains the address OF Rachel Bodley,

with ease. Vigorous health should be
the rule, flabby muscles the exception.
