own money hates her because she
does not need him materially. He is
Jealous because he does not admit
TO himself that he really admres
her. He learns that IL all women
were alike men would lose their
easy assurance that they are the
stronger SEX" Their conceit, their
tolerance of woman and her petty
doings and sayings. their disre-
spects, their utter disregard for Wom-
ans comfort (there is always
smoker at the end of the train or
in the hotel.) What is there for

not one man thinks of his possible
pleasure in smoking or her discon-
tent. Why cannot a woman enjoy a
smoke as thoroughly as man?
When women, all women. are indie
pendent As men nrc, men Will do a
