many boomers and a little too much OF
tba almost masculine Is going to result,
and i've ought to be thankful for it, in

fr5cks and dainty looking gowns viii take
r,e place Of the hideous frock that lately
has been known as tailor made. Women
are beginning to think that it isn't so de-
sfrable TO be up in all the slang of the
dav. to perfectly understand the 1ast d.
yorce case and to be able to talk about
the latest scandal, and they are COM

All" says Miss Pert. you regard wo-
men as inferior to men?" Well, yes in
some respects. But there are women who
are so far superior to men that masculine
eyes can never reach up to them Then
there are women who are decidedly infe-

delightful and desirable and companion

brains; why shouldn't they? But 1 think
that, no matter how much the brain cul-
uvation may so on, ii must always be con-
fessed by people who are willing to tell
the truth that the average mans brain
Is one-third larger, and, L believe, one
third stronger, than the average wOman's.

Think Of a girl, a very fashionable girl
at that who had a fine wedding with satin
and orange blossoms, and diamonds and
pearls, and all the wonderful things that
usually appear at weddings when people

going with her husband way out to the
far, far west and living, not in a comfor-
table little cottage, but in a hut She and
an Irish laundress were the only women

she stood In front of that hut and waved
