There is nothing very 1ovable in the woman who always I'M to lead

where the capable woman is the on who gets ahead. You might term her
excellent and reliable. but you would OF tell her your secrets.
If ou did happen to confde in her she would give you advice unlimited.
Moreover, she would insist that you ct upon it. and would probably scare
you into doing 80. And down in your heart our dislike would turn to re-
