There is one kind of flattcry which is com.
mon to both men and women, and that is the
expressed preference Of sex. Thus, when
men want to Halter women, they say how in

their own sex, and women will say the same
to men. Or if they do not say it, they will

other certainly, aud one or two will sit away
together and discuss their private affairs with
animation; but the great mass of them are
only half vitalized while awaiting the advent
OF the men to rouse them into life and the
desire to please. No man who gets up first.

women, indeed, not only show their prefer

arc generally women who are, or have been
beauties, or who have literary or intellectual
prctcnsiOns, or who despise babies and con-
tenn housekeeping, and profess themselves
unable to talk to other women because of
their narrowncss and stupidity. But for the
most part they arc the women who, by their
beauty or their position, have been used to
receive extra attention from men, and thus
