Men can get along without women.

without men. The Martha Washing
ton Hotel In New York run for WON

mon the friendly and efficient male.
The girl bellboys, or bellgirls, sassed
the customers, and had to be replaced
with boys and the head waitress could
not control her staff, so man took
her place Now the hotel is run by
men only for women only. The same
thing is true Of papers. All those for
women only are run by men.
