Most Women

In spite Of all that the ladies of St. Mar.

TraI state of most women, and mar
-iage is seldom physically consistent
with the continuance OF professional

trained for a profession there would
be horrible economic waste The av-

five or six years. during which the
young man or woman is heavy charge
upon those who furnish the means OF
education.
Even when the training is over. the
possibility OF really efficient service
during the next few years Is very
doubtful. The young lawyer learns
