ETHICS OF BOXING.
Having been accepted as a cave-woman, in Miss Hamilton's crude imagination, I am proud of the distinction she regards with swh distaste, arid- would most certainly admire By man to fight for me, instead of the type Miss Hamilton prefers, the coward who would run when faced with danger, leaving her to fare as-best as possible. It is quite, evident ill? 3 .Hamilton is one of those neurotic women who scream when they see a spider or faint. «t the sight' of a drop of blood. Again, .Miss Hamilton's version is that,.being so modern, I might belong to that "large contingent of kind spinsters who gave, their smiles and cneap kisses to . our. boys" at the time of the. war. I eclipse that degree ofi modernism.also. Having been about eighteen .months o.d at the time, it is not very possible that J cou ' be rated as such. Probably those " SlUl fej l , D cheap kisses" meant as much as the wW' tears" shed in solitude by the "woman n really cared." Many an emotional feeling cloakcd in a smile, so probably-those smHs of a brave, unselfish, patriotic woman. ' 6 worth a .great deal. As for Miss HamU o » suggestion that tennis, and golf for e.ttltera are enough, I imagined needlework v '' oUl4 *, more suited .to her tastes and crossword p u ' for the men. Deep breathing certainly, it. always inspires the desire to throw bodily strength into action. Hence a. good display of boxing never fails toJ® ' / . MISS A. A-SPORT.
