The difficulty in life is that the sum is apt to imagine, as it losts so secure- ly on the top, that it is in reality cream, and thick cream at that. Much criticism has been hurled at the modern woman, the ever-recurring new woman"; and the many bitter things which have been written seem to me to be applicable to this stuff, cream or scam, which floats on the top.
