Women have more strength in their
looks than we have in our laws and
more power by their tears than we
have by our arguments. Women are
quick to recognize genius and to listen
when wisdom speaks. They may chat
ter in the presence of fools, but know
and appreciate the value of earnest,
sensible men.
1t is assumed that the Almighty
made man as his masterpiece, and,
conceited being that, he is, man ac-
copied this statement as a piece Of
truth.
That the earth and all it contains
were made for his special benefit, that
woman was created solely for his
comfort, that the sun was made to
give him light by day and the moon to
enable him to find his way home at
night, that the heavens were hung
with a resplendent curtain of stars
and the planets sent whirling through
space in a majestic dance about the
god of day simply to afford his mat
ter for wonder and amusement-ideas
of this sort evince an egotism that
can only be accredited to man.
Masterpieces indeed! Why, God
made man and, finding that he could
not take care of himself, made wom-
an to care Of him, and she is dis
charging her heaven ordained duty in
an artistic and capable manner.
Are Women the Weaker Vessels?
Men are fond of abiding to wom-
en- as "the weaker vessels" and Pope
calls man the "great lord Of things"
Men rule with a rod of iron the crea-
lures of the earth, the sea and the air.
They hurl defiance in the face Of
kings and presidents. They tread the
oceans foam beneath their feet, they
harness the imperial thunderbolts to
the jaunting electric car and even sue
coed in mounting the storm and flying
upon the wind, but the bravest of
them tremble and lie like Cretans
when called upon by their wives to
explain some Of their extravagant
purchases, and for this reason many
men, delegate their wives as the Off
cial Family shopper" and. thereby
shift the responsibility to them.
More Good Sense Than Men
Women have more good sense than
men. They have fewer pretensions.

Judge of values more from their i'm
mediate and involuntary impressions
on the mind and therefore more truly
and naturally. 1t is said "men have
sight, women insight" For these and
many more reasons women make bet

Women regulate their purchases al
together by the amount they have to
spend. Men are usually "broke," wo-
men very seldom. All Of which goes
to show that women are the strong
