The Darwinian Theory.

Really, now, is there anything more
melancholy than the creature known
as the society young man2 He is the
the round, posed, small headed, crane
necked individual whom you invariably
mistake by his smirks for waiter an
ticipating his fee Strangely though
lie is the young man whom the ladies
most admire. His lack Of brains
makes him charming company, you
know; he can talk so swcetly about
such silly subjects, and evolve so few
IDEAS while he talks, that no effort is
required to follow him. This is the
style Of man that plcascs your young
lady Of fashion best and all young
ladies are ladies Of fashion nowadays
yet women ask why men, of sense be-
gin to depreciatc their claims to equal
ity with them, They wondcr,- too,
that men accord them simply the
place ofpuppets and toys. When wo-
men show their lack of sense by en-
couraging such specimens Of manhood
as nearest resemble the monkey in
brain development, what else can men
OF human intelligence do bnt retaliate
on the whole sex? That's what ails
