One hears Miss Adams spoken of
as a plain faced woman but this
seems to be founded, not so much on
fact as on the assumption that all in
tellectual women are lacking in phySi-
cal beauty; for both beauty and bril-
lance make a total of gifts too great
to be coming to any one person. How
ever, Miss Adams is far from being
a plain woman. Her figure is COM
manding and her face attractive. A
suspicion of a dimple in each cheek
redeems it from severity, and her cool
blue eyes have about them a direct
ness of vision that is clear and wide,
giving those who see and hear her
the sense of having view of the far
hills and the open sea. She is with
out hobbies and has concentrated on
the practical problems of her work
the devotion and energy that many
women use in floating a lot of wrong
headed notions that collapse when
they are tested by the touchstone of
actual experience.

ton is to be broad enough to include
all the women of the various organiza-
