He purports to disclose "What the Women of America Think," which woulii seem, even to the most optimistic, to require a ileal of telling. The women of America don't think, you think? But by golly they can speak their mind. The women the Journal inter viewed in their cross section-cross country survey slated their views, j and right definite they were, on marriage, divorce and sex educa tion.

There will be no powerful searchlights placed in lront of the Temple to comb the sky with restless light. There won't be any microphones plHced in the entrance to the theater with gushing maulers of ceremonies to beg for "Just a word" from attending celebrities. There won't be. any orchids and there won't lie any ermine. White ties will be noticeable only by their absence.

Her ideas of I perfection do not always jibe with j those of other people but that does 1 not deter her from trying to force them on whomever she meets.
