From tho modern girls point Of Wow
tho man of the moment is not of much
account says Sarah Grand Tho instinct
Of natural selection which inclined her
first Of all to set him aside for his fab
bi:ess is strengthened now by her
knowledge Of his character. She knows
him better than her parents do, and in
proportion as she knows him sho finds
less and less reason to respect him. The
girls discuss him with each other and
with younger married women, and out
Of their discussion is arising q strong
distaste for him.
