that the independent woman is too diff

and can't be made to understand that
nobody IN this world is absolutely indie

nasty, cocky lot II VIC were. The young
woman who, like solomon, is immensely
pulled up, who twists her hair in a
Psyche knot which doesn't harmonic
with her pug nose, wears IL three-cornered
hat and sleeves that look like balloons,
talks in the street-car about her club and

any club is dangerous. 1t is II fact that
women as organized bodies are seldom

are laughed at, the hospital committee
is made u subject of mlrth, but, Though
these women may say mean little things
among themselves, still they do their
work well and accomplish more than
double what men would. Look at any
of the religious institutions managed by
women. Nine times out of ten they arc
