That suicide is a "pernicious
habit that obviously tends to
shorten life is the defense set up

who are hypnotized by strange
men that follow them about and

woman who is followed about by a
strange man for hypnotizing pur-
poses should try a little fascina-
ton on her own account - simply
gaze Gxedly at the fellow an in
