WOMEN AND COURAGE
Sir-I don’t think "Thid" really doubts the courage of women. His insulting remarks read as though some "unprincipled, feckless" female had given his vanity a nasty knock. I was going to say " pride," but no man, with
a spark of that commodity in his makeup, would advertise his chagrin s0 blatantly. Catchirig sight of a reference to one of " Thid’s" articles in the " Exporter," where he says "Farming is a woebegone, God-forsaken industry," makes one wonder if "Thid" is the double-dyed pessimist he makes out, or is he having a good old chuckle over the outbursts his remarks have called forth? Whichever it is, I suppose both Women and Farmers will survive. — " JUST FECKLESS" (Auckland). (When this letter was referred to *"Thid" he asked us to state that he has not contributed to the "Exporter" and is in no way responsible for opinions expressed in that journal. His letter in reply about women’s courage is printed separately.-Ed.)
