Or ioe ‘Why do we see so many of them hurrying and sourrying about alone but always with that quiet contentment, shat expression of “I have everything I desire in life. Go into the shops and you will see hundreds of well groomed women shopping by themselves; go to a matinee, a lecture, a concert and again you will see this solitary woman, usually clad in a tailored suit, wearing a dressy little blouse, a bit of fur about her neck and a emart hat placed at exactly the right angle upon her well coiffured head. Yes, she is usually alone and quite content to be. Probably if the truth were known she is a girl from Main Street back home who has married, lives in an uptown apartment’ and made herself a sophisticated New Yorker. But what is she getting out of life? Why does she always seem so contented, so ell poised and so self- satisfied?
