necessary to lift forms, make additional

Selfish, Helpless Women.

The helpless woman is the mos
prominently selfish of all women.
The worst of it is that it is very
hard selfishness to fight against, a.
she is usually sweet-tempered in he,
tyranny. In her home life before mar
riage she is always the one who gets
up last in the morning and shirks
work all day long.
Today, however, men are beginning
to realize that the self-relant girl is
not necessarily unfeminine. and that
she makes a better friend or wife
than the girl who is sweet and help
less. The helpless woman is a draw
back to her husband from the start
to finish. The helpless girl is daily
growing more and more back mum.

when man comes quite to his proper
senses. she will be an utterly un.
