The many exposures of smuggling
by rich women shows a curious cast
of the feminine mind In nearly ey-
cry instance the culprit was aware of
the law and that she was violating
it; but few. if any, regarded the sta
tute seriously and doubted even in the
event of detection that it would be
applicable to her own individual in
stance. Most women Of this class
have never come in contact with the
law, having lived in a realm in which
their own will was sovereign. That
the law is no respecter of persons
they have had to learn, and those who
will take to themselves the lesson
should be better citizens and certain
~ more familiar with the institutions
of their country.
