There STo no women IN America who

the college girls do not propose 10 preach
70 them or lecture al them or try 10 teach
them. bnt simply 10 get claim on their
good wiil by Offering them nice things 10
eat and then helping them 70 a little
pleasure. So many people try 10 do other
people good that 10 is not bad plan. once
in = way, to try simply to give people
good time
With all its boldness and originality the
plan is a modest one. Ii looks 70 no
scheme FOR reformiu. creation. but the
sweet faced schemers do propose 10 try 10

The Rev DR. Rlinsford, of st. Georges

Everett Hale. Miss Grace II. Dodge, one

or three college presidents. half a dozen
women professors, women fellows of
Johns Hopkins and Bryn Mawr, women
doctors, dentists, newspaper writers and
magazinists. a woman trustee Of Nassar
and another of Boston University, women
professional and non-professional, keeping
school and keeping house and husband all

And what will come Of it,
Nobody knows. But Miss Fine has al
