There are bachelor women chums in
New York who have been going about
together steadily and successfully for seven,
eight or ten years, and lend to each
other all the attentions possible between
times Of business
Under ordinary circumstances, perhaps,
women would not be close friends for so
long. They would fall out about sweet
hearts or over rivalry in dress. looks or
ambitions. But the confirmed bachelor
