Types of Women

There are four types Of women
Charlie. There are the unfortunates,
who have been granted no attractions,
physical or otherwise. They have
heaps Of friends of their own sex and
kind, they live in womens clubs or in
stitutions, and find an outlet for their
emotions in religion and the love af-
fairs Of other people. Then there is
the latest model, the aggressive va
riety, elbOwing men out of the way !;
there is something rather attractive
about them, but they know il too well.
