love as women feel T.
Women tell VI Of cur shortcomings
with a knowledge Of perfection a
love Of perfection that Is terrible. and
this they saE, IL another proof o.

would be Indifferent 70 me whether
you had any or not
As for jealousy. women do not feel
i more violently han men but they
express il more, violently q per-
haps extend II further The Jealous
man. IN general. is JEALOUS only OF
the man who loves his wife. while the
woman IL often Jealous Of everything
that her companion loVes-Of his
Work, his ambition, mis- books, his
newspapers and his inkstand. You
very seldom see men Who are Jealous
Of the big stores, while there are
plenty OF wives who are jealous Of the
national library.
The truth Is that women make no
distinction between the quality and
fault which Is contiguous to It. Be
there Is nc love without Jeal-
0usy, they take Jealousy 10 be love
Love is Jealousy" says a woman Of
Jules Lemaitre's theater. And wOm-
en- are only half wrong. for u there Is
in jealousy more egotism than love.
this Is true ia regard 10 man, but in
regard 10 woman there Is In Jealousy
more love than egotigm. still Jealousy
81 imperfect love. because il IL love
in the form Of a violent desire for
possession. and not IN the form Of a
deaire to be possessed, nor OF mutual
possession.
Altogether. women In love are gem
orally Troublesome and prosecuting.
Many poets. and especially Porto
Richie. tn his admirable "Amoureuse,
have made fun Of this characteristic
trait IA woman. II certainly proves
that they are IN love, but their mis-
take consists IN their belief that the
opposite is a proof Of not being in
love. II silence Is the chaste flower
Of love. as Heinrich Heine says. the
violent manifestations are the thorns
OF love. Women are impulslye and
men are too reflective. This is the
reason % the differences in a feeling
which is otherwise equal. Add to this
that yemen are typographical. or, IL
your prefer It. idealists.
They have made love divine and be-
cause Of this they suffer from the dis
lance which exists between the earth
End Olympus. Nietzsche has very
properly said The idolatry Of wom-
en- In regard to love is first Of al an
invention OF their smartness. because
by idealizing love they increase THEFT
power and make themselves more de-
sirable IA the eyes Of men. But the
century old habit OF exaggerating the
importance Of love has caused them
To fali n their own nets and to for
get It's origin They are themselves
more fooled than the men, and suffer
more from the disillusion which Is
bound to come in the life OF every
woman.
Nietzsche has said another thing Of
women IN which / think he Is pretty
wrong-that women are more intel
ligent than men. The intelligence OF
women proves Itself a perfect mis-
tfcss, an ever presence of MIND. "a
making use Of all advantages. They
pass IL down as an inheritance To
their daughters as their fundamental
Characteristic. TO which the father.
adds the more obscure quality of Will.
