The difference between men and
women, seen in the physical organi-
zstioa of the two, is carried out in
mental structure as well. Her form
is smaller, finer in it's organism and
much more susceptible to emotion
and feeling than his-though from
the records of Woman's heroism, de-

her endurance OF sufering,we may be

danger, or undergo hardship, only
that inclination and custom puts him

more massive than hers, and properly
developed is more powerful. He is
more angular In conformation, his
form more abrupt in its lines, whilst
hers has all the curves Of beauty and
grace added to By the loveliness OF
her modesty. The swelling bosom,
