with the other sex. Women in this way lose
their frivOlity, their faculties awaken, their
delcacies and peculiarties unfold all their
beauty and captivation in the spirit of intel

Their asperties are rubbed off, their better
materials polished and frightened, and their
richness like gold, is wrought into finer work
manslip by the fingers of women than 1t ever
could be by those of men. The iron and steel
of their character are like the armOr OF giants
by studs and knots of gold and precious stones,
when they are not wanted in actual warfare.
