There Is another kind Of woman OF
whom no other woman makes friend
and that is one who gives any grounds
whatever for being considered fool.
But. It may be asked. do not the fools
make friends with each other? Not often.
Even In schoolroom days, so far as their
own sex Is concerned. they are left alone.
The troubles OF foolish woman begin
very early III she Is allowed TO asso-
ciate at all with other little girls. she has
a disagreeable time. Her contemporaries
are hard on her. The young are harsh
TO each other. and neither boys nor girls
realize the cruelty of ridicule. No doubt
there Is large class OF fools, both mascu-
line and feminine. who are very knavish.
Nobody likes them.
But women do not even like the best
sort. Let her be the best tempered and
most impcrturbable fool that ever lived
let her be conscious or unconscious,
whether she lament her folly or whether
she trade upon ~, sho Will have no real

indulgently they often look upon its alb

The very stupidity of some women
endOws them with n certain stanchness
which rightly gains them affection from
the opposite sex. II Is a great rest TO
