nous one of experience. These girls come
out OF college with a "know-it-alP idea,
and they suddenly discover that neither
Greek nor Euclid viii do so very much

ings, nor will full and complete history
OF the lost tribes OF Israel teach them how

'Bab's off on her same old fad" Well,
yes, am. do believe in giving GIRL
the very best education possible, but |
cannot be brought to see that that IL the
education gained in the college. There
have been brilliant women, women
who have made great successes

socially. who are college bred, but these

icines properly and isn't exploiting her
chemistry on the doctor while the man
whose name she bears is waiting for his
next dose of medicine. But" says the
obiector. "can YOU cook?' 10 DO quite

than half the restaurants in the various
big cities know how to do and can boil
a potato and know when Il il done, and
no establishment is going 10 starve where
they can get these two things wei cooked.
