A recent issue of the San Francisco
Examiner devotes nearly page to dis
cnssion OF the question care Women
More Dishonest Than Memo Extreme
views on both sides are given, but one
writer ventures the assertion thai there
is little real difference between the sexes
In regard to honesty or any other OF the
cardinal virtues.
Waving the question of the respective
honesty OF the sexes as a dangerous one,
all must acknowledge that human nature
is much the same in both. There ere more
points OF similarity than OF difference IN
the mental and moral constitutions OF
the sexes. There is more difference be-
tween individuals Of each sex than be-
tween the sexes SO considered. We have
no patience with the man or woman who
regards the opposite sex as all good or all
bad. Human nature is faulty, it is true,
but the person who arraigns either men
or women for high crimes, social or other
wise, as peculiar to that sex shows
either appalling ignorance of human
nature or the fact that his own nature
has become so warped from the original
line OF rectitude that moral obliquity
seems to him the only condition of man,
and the weakness or tyranny inherent in
all weak natures leads him to impute the
greater fault to the opposite sex.
There are hybrids, however, that excite
the disgust of everyone. One of these is
the "gentlemanly womGn.' A woman's
chief charm lies in her true womanliness.
lWhen that IS lost or when it has never
existed, she is as a rose that has lost its
fragrance. No one has ever adequately
described the charm of womanliness yet
we instantly recognize it when present,
or deplore the lack of it when absent.
No woman In whom this quality is not
well defined is attractive. She is the
false chord in the harmony, the harsh
line in the picture, OF womanhood. She
is that object of universal derision-a
'gentlemanly woman
Yet there is one redeeming trait notice
able in this creature that is lacking in the
sadyllke man, strength. The ladylike
man has positively no redeeming trait
but is q caricature upon his own sex as
well as the one he apes. Weak, vain,
with a vacvous mind in a well groomed
body, he labors under the delusion that
he is a significant figure in the sum of
\ humanity while in reality he is the veri-
est cipher.
