opinion, II Is not the American woman
or the foreign woman who should be
discussed, but the average woman, the
woman OF today. the ultra-modern
woman. There are two kinds to every
nationality, and this country Is no eX-
ception. One kind is the one a man
wants to take with him on his joyful,

who Is n possibility in sharing the prin.

disposition and is domestically inclined.

one woman. as ] have read several times

woman to be their inferior. A woman

Nevertheless, 1t would b. on the basis
OF the shape of the head that you should
base your Judgment that the man Is of
the energetic and aggressive type.
The reason Is not that the conyc,

because in this particular case they
