such keen enjoyment and appreciation
OF all its loveliness-the wonderful
air. the almost illimitable view, and
above all the "clean-ness" of it, But

left town that she expected to hold
herself in readiness to do some cam

interests of women and children,

not a suffragist either. not exactly
an anti but rather that way inclined
by every instinct and tradition.
