The Scalp Collector
Bv FLORENCE E. YODER

Many a brilliant woman would be a
confirmed scalp-collector were it not
for lack of this socalled nerve"
The scalp-collector has been some
times confused with the love-pirate.
This is a mistake. The scalp-collector
comes out and fights in the open,
where the love-pirate employs a shady
sort of strategy that the former would
avoid. The scalp-collector may employ
strategy for her own ends, but she
acts more ION the square" towards
other women than does the love-pirate.
For the latter will appropriate any
man upon whom her straying fancy
alights, be he married or single, while
the scalp-collector will, generally
speaking, confine her wiles and her
lures to the single man. True, she
regards every single man as her law
| full prey But one cannot blame her
| for that. The mischief arises when
another woman's man is the booty
aimed at. Herein is the sphere of the
love-pirate.
