On Equality of Sexes.

Can there be an equality Of sexg If
not, what is the difference.
First, man never suggests by his
manner and clothes what is heavenly.
Women often do.
Second, woman is the weaker ves-
sell She is made to receive the roses
of love, man to bear the weight and
freight of the world. Both are of
equal value but different.
Women do not place the accent of
life where men do. The woman is do
nestle. The man is world bred. A
woman can practice chastity and truth
all the days Of her life, and be less con-
scious of it than she is of a new dress.
She does not conceive of being bad,
and is more out of sorts when her
clothes are out of fashion than man
is. If man is virtuous he is inclined
to boast Of it, while a woman does not.
1t is natural for her to be So She
does and inclined more to piety. She
is more modest and more humble than
man. She is the light of love to man
and crown to his head, while man is
neither to the woman.
Nature has widened the distance be-
tween the sexes until neither can cross
it. Therefore, there is no equality and
can be none. Woman may copy men
in thinking, but she refuses to speak
it, No man can love or does love a
woman too much. He prefers a wom-
anly woman. Neither does a woman
love man too feminine. She prefers
a manly man. A business woman does
not appeal to the imagination of
man to win his love. The nearer a
woman gets to manliness, the less she
is loved by man. and the nearer man
gets to the feminine, the less he is
liked by the woman. A Miss Nancy
fellow has no show. A wide difference
exists, friends.
A woman's virtues are different
from the same virtues in man. The
woman's are more refining The sex
distinction is so fixed that it cannot bt
changed without whole lot of absurd
tiles
OF course, the sallow complexioneG
must paint and powder to please the
male mind. She understands him, but
he don't understand her. Men wan
angels for. wives and consequently hel
graceful manners please him. She
doesn't demand saint for her hus
band she is not as exacting as th'
man. The difference of the sexes wher
rightly analized is happy one. Eacf
caters to the other naturally. Love il
brought about by these very differen
ces. No woman ought to lose he
sense of sex. When she does her in
fluence is gone, and she cannot expec
to join affinity with a manly man an'
marry man Of like mindedness will
herself Love is founded on the differ
ence that exists in mind and feeling
| know some say differently, but 1T i
in reality the difference that exists
which produces the emotion calle,
love.
Now, girls, never try to get over ol
mans side or claim him as you
equal in a masculine sense for | kno,
you have nothing but disgust for
Miss Nancy fellow. AS in you, SO i
man. He is disgusted at Mr.. Ethel
and has no use for such girl. B
feminine in all you say or do. Don
be hoodlum, a tomboy, a fast youn
lady, if | dare call such lady. Ri
member the females are loved by th
male sex for their feminine, gracefr
J and modest qualities No girl is love
| who tries to initiate the masculine
In the short space allotted we can onl
sketch and not dwell on points of il
} terest, but you can reason out th
r philosophy of the difference why thel
can be no equality of the sexes.
