It is a presumption, but not an arbitrary rule, and common sense is the best guide..

She is now eighty-eight, and the little villa has grown into Lady Margaret Hall, pae of the most famous women's colleges in the country, with 150 students and brilliant successes in competi tion with men to its credit.

This is especially the case when you have supported him in the suit.

A girl's best equipment for life and happiness is to be able to give sym- pathy to her brothers and husband, and that sympathy is not learned in a college education; it is learned at home.
