seem to me to have a very good time
don't you know. My mother say
there never was a day when daughter
generally had such fuss made ovel
them as now. Why, they've go
more liberty than they know what tC
do with as it is, don't believe my
self that these whining girls know
what they want. Take my sister
She used to go to theaters and play al
lawn tennis, and dance and
sing and look out for husband in a
quiet, lady-like way, and have a
splendid life generally. She got any
amount of enjoyment out of existence
and seemed to me to escape nearly all
ats horrors. OF course, every chap
who's got to do it knows that the
greatest horror in life is earning your
living. Well, how many fellows have
to? Yet they don't revolt. And the
sensible girls who earn living with
typewriters and so on, they don't re-
volt either. Why? Because, in the
first place, they are jolly sight too
wise, and in the second they are
jolly sight too busy. They haven't
time to play the fool. l really believe
that it's only lazy girls who revolt
and lazy any thing is always hateful
don't you know, AT least, in the sight
ofany bodv who's got to work.

healthy, imple-hearted girl you could
meet in days march. She was nat

yellow, oblong books full of rot about
girls. These made her morbid and
hysterical and averse to fresh air. She
said that her eyes were being opened
to the way women were generally sat
on, don't you know, and finally she re-
volted. You never saw nice girl
change so quickly. She gave up
lawn tennis first because none of the
women in the oblong, yellow books
played games. They sat all day
in corners fathoming the emotions of
their innermost hearts. Well, if that's
a healthy amusement for girls l don't
know anything about them. And
then my sister lost all her interest in
doing her hair new ways and joined

putty-faced worm of man to gain
his own ends, and he chartered hall

to the society and proved without diff
ficulty that women were infinitely su-
perior to men. The little worm had
a good time, of course, because every
girl in the room had only to look at
him to feel her own tremendous SUI
periority. One, however, stupid |
woman with five hundred year, got
