"Platonic friendship" is the story
q woman puts up to man before, and
the world afterwards.
The love Of a man for a woman ID
a perfectly natural phenomenon-to
everyone but the other woman.
i What lovely world it would be II
one could recover the money and the
love and the time one has misspent.
The woman who knows just when
and how to make scene is not nearly
SO clever as the woman who knows
just when and how not to make q
scene.
One of the many difficulties in the
arrangements of society womans
program is to be found in by the right
people and not found out by the
others.
We all have different ideas Of at
tainment-the unworldly may want to
help others, the worldly to help them.
selves. And neither wants to be
found out.
It is absurd to talk of a dead
past" There is no such thing. The
past never dies-only it looks so diff
ferent from a distance that it is hard
to recognize it.
Women are good or bad according
to their opportunities that is why
women with red hair and green eyes
are looked upon with suspicion by the
women who never had chance"

This preparedness talk is a big
thing. When you look at the border
line between United States and Can

think what might easily happen

When you really stop to consider
this, is it not a fact that the
question becomes still more perplex-
