runs ms follows:

whole Code between darkness and

on the iInpORGibility Of the task, those

Frau Gnauck Kuchue is one Of the

that tue euperilulty OF women in so
many European countries is a fact
which in the first place is i'll no sense
nm evil, and i'll tho second place Is
rapidly disappearing.
In another twenty years, she believes,
the tide will begin to turn the other
way and the men will be III the majority
even in such countries as England and
Germany, where at the present time
women immensely predominant. Some
OF her statistics are most interesting.

that any European nation except Russia
will long continue to increase rapidly in
proportion. England has begun to
follow the example OF France and
Germany will certainly follow England's
footsteps.
