Miss Rebecca West Gives "Woman's
View" Before Club.

England is not in danger of becom-

a surplus OF women, because lit Is i'm

interesting to more than one woman
at a time" in the opinion of Miss
Rebecca West. English novelist,

Miss West said so. in a talk on "a
Woman's Views of Lies Problems, 7"
before the Contemporary Club
