Women are far more ruthlessly direct than men also, they care leas what the world at large thinks [of them.

The solving of the problem is to supremely im- [portant to the woman that she will make fur the solution at once, in- Atanter, entirely regardless of whether the said solution may bo made by constitutional methods or not!
