The Fair Sc X.
To-Day.

When two women are bosom friends or
deadly enemies, You may always ask,
"Where is the man"
Women live and die by their passions.
Men kill their passions, but not them
selves.
The love of certain women is deadly ;
but most men become accustomed to it,
as they do to slew poison.
Some men take women as they do cham
gsgne; but others indulge in them as they
do in sbsinihe.
The lives of women can be divided into
three epochs: They dream OF love; they
experienced it's and they regret it.
Woman's virtue is like her beauty. One
cannot define its beginning nor its end.
