Sidney Fox believes that it is foolish to fall in love until "you know where you are going." She thinks that many women meet heartbreak and disillusion because they love only with their hearts— forgetting that they have brains which should give them judgment.

Today, we see her daintiness and wonder how it survived the struggle of those other years. And don't you forget that there was a struggle. She has known the grimy labor of standing over a machine in a New Jersey silk mill and the drudgery of a ten-hour job followed by night school. She has suffered (Continued on page 102)
