other people with her little wages, and
leading the life Of an ascetic SO far as
any social enjoyment IS concerned, vet
even then she shall not escape. There
are not wanting men who win leer and
roll their eyes when her name 10 men
toned, and hint that women who work
in Offices are no better than they should
be. It is one Of the most calling and

dozen years younger than she was did
not hesitate to circulate freely vile
slanders about her. This, too, / beg YOU
to remember: 1t is a world Of change.
