tendency a civilization has been to
make ber light and trtvoious. 1 hope
that the opening up of activities for
women. throwing upon the woman
greater responsibilities, will result In
making woman measure up to het

She voiced the -injustice of the In-

She asked 1f 1t was always going
to happen that drink and war could
