the rudiments of it. Sisters mine, let
us reason together, says Womans

a spark of the divine; it is yours to

not two women in ten can do it.
Do not think that there is anything
unworthy in managing man--to
bring out the best is a high vocation.
Only let us see to 1t that we are
worthy of it. There are women who
have made angels of men, but at the
cost of their own divinity. There is
