11But you want some hints as to how the
, unmarried women Of '96 can best improve
the opportunity now within their grasp
Like all really great achievements there
will be obstacles in the road to success, but
they will only serve to make victory more
glorious. The greatest enemies the bache-
Tor girl will have to fight are widows and
Divorces, and l would preface my remarks
