A man can very seldom tell what ia
passing in a woman's mind. He talks
with another man, and he can follow
his processes: he gets his point Of
view; he can read between the lines;
he can make shrewd guess as to
how he came to say that or why he
refrained from saying the other. says
the Watchman.
But n woman's mental processes are
not those OF n man. Her mental ma
chinery is geared differently. You hear
what she tells you. You can make In
ferences from It. They will be wrong
because you do not know how she
came to say what she did; you do not
have the clew. Try to guess what she
will say next. and you will find that
you are all at sea.
The man who says that he under
stands woman is himself a woman.
No man can understand woman. He
may love her. There may exist be-
tween his soul and hers that indie
Unable and celestial sympathy which
is the sweetest thing on earth. but he
does not understand her.
