she so much detested, gazing curiously
ut the unique sight, The procession
was composed OF an immense throng
Of women Of all ages and all social con-
ditions and Of deputies from every
woman's society In Austria. But
AIarie'B directions were not carried out
to the letter after all, for the banner
OF the Jungfrauen Verein was so
heavy that no woman could be found
who was strong enough to carry 1t. So
It was born aloft by one OF the hated
sex, who marched along, the only man
in the procession.
Frauleln 1rrgang had a rival in
Fraulein Gretchen Marie Schultz. an
old maiden lady OF Berlin who was
known throughout Germany as the
man hater." Having had an uufortu-
Fate love affair fifty years ago she
vowed that she never would speak TO
or, II possible. look upon man again
MS long MS she lived. and being n wom-
an OF wealth, she was able to keep her
vow until her death not long ago. She
bought retired house about dozen
miles from Berlin and equipped It from
basement to garnet with furnishings
made By the hands Of women. She sur
rounded herself with band of won-
en-, each of whom took n similar VOW
of perpetual hatred of the opposite sex.
and so skillfully were things managed
that for nifty years the fraulein neither
snw nor spoke To man or hoy.
Another man hutcr. and one who car
ried her hatred beyond the tomb, was
