MENTALITY or MEN AND WOMEN.


A fruitless argument as to the comparative
mentality OF man and woman has been brought
forward by the statement Of Mrs, Eva, Mcdonald
yalesh. editor Of tho American Club Woman.
that woman is mentally inferior to man. Into
the arena, as TO be expected, have sprung
q number Of noted women and, equally to be
expected. number Of men. In a discussion
of this kind there is no sex limitations or sex
division, unless it he that there will be few
women to agree with Mrs. Valesh's proposition
and many to disagree wttn It.
Among the latest to take up the gauge thrown
down by the reckless Mrs, Valesh are Mayor
Blankenburg, of Philadelphia; Mrs. Mary Ing.
