She's cominenting on a recent column in which I suggested that mod- em women had gone'. to pot, while men are the same stead- fast, gallant chaps they were in Julius Caesar's day.

The over -zealous party- goer would getmore air while sprawled in an open c h a r i o t than. the -.Modern •male _ does` when his wife is driving home from a party and he has to re- lax with his head out the win- dow."
