the "old maid" stigma,
"The American woman haa
, surpassed the American man."
he continued. "She has learned
things and forged ahead with
tremendous mental speed, while
her husband has utterly -failed
to do thlt In other than business
ways.
"Yes, were I to marry (al
though I shall not, for my pro-,
fesslon makes my habits and
home unpermanent), It would be
an Englishman, for he is far and
away the most interesting type
ot the' genus homo. -'

other planes?
"Of course tnls statement is
oily partially true, but it Is cer
tain that drinking In the better
classea in thi country as well
as in England has become less in
the last few years. This I firm
ly believe is directly the result
of woman's campaign.
"Woman has reconstructed
"herself now and she takes an In-.

any rate, the campaign of the
