do not become her. Now, then, what
other types are there, except the in
sincere woman, who viii invariably
ape either the brilliant or the stately
woman, and generally MAKE poor work
at it, for. if she is impulsive, she will
fatter. or, if of cold temperament she
will be one of those quiet blinking
snakes. You say where then does the
timid, bashful woman belong. The
evident answer is that, when she has
been in the social school long enough,
she will take her place in one of the
three classes, for, when she is timid
and bashful, she is not herself But
there is d four h type only it is not
correct to limit her to the social cir

cherry spirited creature, whose SYM

she is too much engrossed in the larger

commonly called philanthropy. New
