attracted by the average woman who Is
also an Ordinary person. On the other
hand, men who are out Of the or
binary" as the phrase goes, are often
attracted by women of exceptional
mental equipments George Sand may
be cited as an instance Of a woman,
who, though not possessed of any re-
markable personal beauty, yet exer-
cised an extraordinary fascination over
the distinguished men of her day ana
generation. The majority of the Wo-
men who reigned over the French sa-
Ions were women Of brains, and 10
their gatherings flocked most OF the
celebrated men Of their period. Like
