phasized in the pretty white gowns
with yellow girdles, worn by the maid

if their expression Of approval may

largely due to their sense of humanity.
Among the things that most struck
me socially was the false impression
prevailing in Europe about the priv

women. It may be true that the
American woman has more leisure
