Excerpt from Good-Bye, Proud World Women read it and want to know what other women think about the new books and fashions, about every new fad and kink even what other women say and think about politics. He was not a. Man who did anything in haste. Nevertheless when Milicent returned next day to find out the fate of her papers, these two rooms had been cleared out and the chief himself led her into them and told her to sit down and write six articles on different subjects.
