IF in her choice greater freedom

European sisters. =. BY her position
in the family woman has also won
before the public an authority often
denied to her by us" And, here fol.
lows a naive confession:
I; Eve if d woman should allow
the tyrannical incIinations Of a man
to please her, which, in her self-re-

American who gives something fol

on the whole. he concludes. that it is
the best method for n country whose

citizens and as practical men. Such
an aim cannot exclude woman; on tho
contrary, it must depend upon her as
It's best helper. When. however

girls are far ahead Of boys, and sc
