Dear Union signal: There is no
kind Of work which women are accus-
toned TO do more productive OF men

Of public speaking. and there are per-
haps few things which the women who
are not themselves public speakers so
little appreciate or understand as this.
Il Is indeed laudahle TO try to make the
most Of an opportunity and get, as
some say all the good they can from
a speaker while she Is within reach.

selves whether that may not also mean
