OF the rather contemptuous chivairy
men nave iavished on women In the
past Until the past nifty years woman
IN general has been held economically
helpless: therefore to take money from
her was equivalent to stealing pennies
from a child.
NOW all that Is changed. Woman
proved her economic worth, her
earning capacity. She can meet men
on fair. frank. financial ground. She
can accept n give money w,thou,
either feeling or comforting humiliation.
1T Is just the fact hat she is able
to earn as much money as no which
makes 1t fair for her to go into a busl-
