The other day came the story of a femini: all know that hot in at the railway crossing. And n the toach of feminism BiouENE joy to the community. When soap and water and clean curtain—the tools of feminism—had wrought their magic, the peo- ple came bearing tribute in the shape of fruit and chocolate cake.
