development of myself." Such a person will be one who has given a rather respectable account of himself in his native land (i.e. as a man); who is not burdened down with an undue number of internal problems which must go with him; who carefully plans the shutting down and termination of operations in the old world; and who equally carefully and fully examines the problems and requirements facing him in the new world and plans how to meet them and start up successfully in the new location. "He" it is who is an Emigrant, who faces the transition to "her" new world with radiant anticipation and at the same time a cooly prac- tical mind. "She" will find that the new world is not easy, that the new role is demanding too as the old one was (though the demands are dif- ferent), that to "make it" she will have to "try harder because she is only No. 2." But she will make it and in the realization that she has and that she is now a naturalized citizen of her adopted country (womanland) lies the happiness, acceptance and peace of mind that makes her life a daily pleasure.

If only it were possible to persuade some of the impatient "Fugitives" that we come across to cool it for awhile; to solve some of their personal problems first, to settle accounts with the sheriff, as it were, so that there will be nothing to run away from; to get themselves turned around so that instead of looking backward at something they wish to escape from they can look forward with joy and anticipation to seeing that wonderful old girl the Statue of Liberty as the beacon of the new world and the oppor- tunities and satisfactions that it offers; and finally to plan their transition carefully so that they do not arrive penniless and without skills with which to set themselves up and maintain themselves in the new life. But Mary and I find it almost impossibly difficult to do anything to or for these "Fugitives." They really don't want to be "Emigrants." They are impatient, they want everything tomorrow. They are all knowing, their wishful little dreams have been rehearsed over and over again in their minds so that they have become persuaded of the truth of their own propaganda. They see only what they want to see and hear only what they want to hear. Their attitude is "my mind is made up, don't confuse me with fact."

Of course the keystone of their whole structure is what I mentioned in the first paragraph a refusal to see that a woman's day-to-day life is something else again from her anatomical femaleness. They have a kind of pseudo female chauvinism combined with the Freudian attitude that everything about a woman devolves from her sex. To them femaleness is the only route to womanhood (wrong) and everything about being a
