"Woman is woman's worst en emy," an exchange says. "In a civ ilized way some of them seem to have declared war against them selves, for every time she strikes a blow at another woman it is done with a moral boomerang that conies back and hits tho offender. A man does not, with a cold eyo und criti cal bearing, stare at tho made-over dress, or uxk personal questions that make the tears cuiiia to some body's eyes and cause a sharp pain in Homebody's heart. Women light each other altogether too much with tho needle of envy, hatred, malice and iincharitableiiess dipped iu the poison of scandal."
