a broad band In the square shape

effect is obtained by the length OF

some OF the bordered materials which

Finely tucked bands of material OF

IF we were content to take our opin-
i ions OF the eternal feminine from
the paper that soothes our shattered
nerves at breakfast time. we might
too rashly conclude that woman has
an inherent liking, II not an actual
preference, for the conventional scoun-
drel
But, before arguing thus from the
particular to the general, and allowing
the sum OF our knowledge OF the heart
OF woman TO be circumscribed by ex-
citing headlines. many things should
be taken into consideration
In the first place, there is in this
country a most singular dearth OF men
In society, and the opportunities that
the average respectable woman has o.
