My Dear Niece:
I've just lost three women patients
because ! refused 10 try to cure EN-
OF what they haven't got. They wer'
logy and red eyed from oyereating
and advised fasting and exercise
when they were seeking sympaths
and nostrum that would enable
them to humor their palates without
damage to the rest OF EN- didn't
have hte nostrum and needed my
sympathy for better use.
Probably they will go down AMI
tell the cynic about me, and will be
added to the list Of women who r.

she had kept an ambitious member OF
Ter own sex from joining a club. At

made OF coin OF the realm.
The defendant has the necessary
coin: but she is Hooverizing. and in
consequence objects to using 1t for
poultices. Hence the suit; hence the
presence OF large flocks OF clubwomen
in court. hence amused glances AMI
smiling faces inadequately concealed
behind gloved and ringed hands:
hence the charge OF the cynic that
women would uphold a woman OF the
when accused OF murder
and refuse to uphold a member oi
their own class accused OF nothing
more serious than mildly scratching
in defense Of club exclusiveness.
Women have scratched so long with
.mpunity that they are amazed to be
asked to pay damages for following
their ancient prerogatiyes.
