that they are poor or obscure, they may
drive in their carriages. have their names
bruited about in every daily fashion report

nature IS pushing, push they will and will
not be happy in any condition, even upon a
throne. To be sure, the pushing woman is
usually far from the celebrity which she
covets. She usually begins by pushing for
the necessaries of her existence, or those
things which she believes to be necessaries

herself recognized in whatever vocation
she chooses if she goes ia for literature.
she pushes herself into the foremost ranks,
not always by virtue of her merits, but by

it may seem, the pushing woman is not

know something of human nature, how to
