when she knocked nj tho door az our
schools Tor hlnhcr education AMI he
saw Nc was forced TO admit her, he
tried 10 make her believe that he was
always in favor OF women getting all

I've have hcnrd SO rluch ct the new

the new man be? Shall he dress like
his father or his mother? Shall he part

done, or like his mother. In the mid

Tan; when overy man or woman shall
do something to pay for the room oc-

the new woman will not spend much
tine In quarrelinE ubout what either
shall or shall not DO. These things will
regulate themselves.
The lecturer made the point TINT
whenever d woman does what . man
Is in the habit OF doing. she IS out OF

sidcred so badly. Man has taken occu-
cations from he-: he Is cook, wash

i is useless Tor us to object. There was
a tine when IL was thought that wo-
