 And assure you it's serious. And the men have only themselves to blame. It's all because men didn't keep up busy and didn't marry us, on having marrbd us, again didn't keep us busy. Hotels and boarding houses were allowed"
 We talked on.
 Shrewdness in Society.
 '"The society women of this country are really the shrewdest of the lot They practice competition and get their wits narrowed down to sharp edges. If you don't like them. don't blame them. The men of this country made something that doesn't fit. She isn't fit to f1t.'
