you consider your weakest point?"
Now we all have our weak points,
but why register them? And after
all tho agony. and sweating blood
trying to make a good impression.
you never hear from any Of them
again.
I have talked with many intelli-
gent women who for years have
earned q good living. but the war
has put their particular line Of work
on the non-essential list and they

riences. Just why? II seems to us
