THE LOGICAL WOMAN.

Someone has said that woman
mas no logical views, that her very
temperament has such a bearing up
OH her ideas that che continually al
lows her mind 10 fIatter in the most
err3tic manner from one view to
another, and usually permits others
90 influence her in argument. True.
there are women OF this type, though
there are women with logical minds
and philosophical views that some
might emulate, but never attain.
There is less crying need for women
with brain and influence TO turn the
tide of common events than there is
for women filed with human kind
ness, sympathy and a good feeling OF
comradeship for all persons. Whas
Is logic II DC does not include SYM
Pat and what is it il it does not
spur "a woman on to the completion OF
.-' hIehes, attainmcnts i'm the most
Touanly manner? one may have
correct reasoning, and at the same
time be stoical to the point OF in
difference. A broad-minded person
may be possessed OF liberal views in
one direction and narrow in another;
consequently the logical woman is
not TO us the one who has mastered
higher studies or reached her various
degrees in college, but she is the wo-
man of liberal views that realizes
the weaknesses of human nature, is
sympathetic and reasonable in her
line Of life. let it be what it may.
There is a woman Of beautiful tenn
permanent who is logical, though
weak in philosophical views because
she is lenient to those who continu-
ally trample upon her nature and
disposition. She realizes it but, be-
ing woman, let's the womanly side
predominant, but the logical views
are as strong as those OF the BRAIN
lest man, but she has her broader
views tempered with the disposition
TO please, to let ideals slip aside. to
side in with the other party, for
which reason she is looked upon as
woman without logic, while she
possesses it in a marked degree.
