to those subjects which he understands.
We'll wager he never met a society
woman. and ali that he knows about her
and her characteristics is what he has
learned from society novels or the society
columns OF the Chicago newspapers.
Or course there are women in society
who would not make good wives, but the
proportion of them is not greater. we
imagine. than among women who are
ont of society. A good woman is a good
woman. no matter what her station in
life. To be sure a woman may be spoiled
by her social surroundings. but not
necessarily so. and women in society are.
woman for woman, just as pure and true
and unselfish and lovable. just as capable
OF making good wives and good mothers,
as their sisters in other spheres of life.

they are too selfish and frivolous for
