HOW SOME OF THE NEW YORK WOMEN VI It. An interview with a New York man on the topic in hand would certainly be “a picture no artiet could paint’— or family newspaper print. But views Grave and gay from several women I did obtain—and here they are: Mrs. William Grant Brown, President of the New York Federation of Wom- en's Clubs, said: : “Mr. Rogers would label bachelors to protect girls, But you see I think men need protection from: women quite @s much as women do from men. Just consider the havoc that would be wrought in the ranks of the ynmarried men if each had to wear a label posi- tively inviting the attention of the ma- rauding female, You know Thackeray that any woman, un- positive hump, can marry any man she pleases.
