Answer Number Two.

First-Women are made up OF I:
broad, generous, compassionate, refin-
ed and liberal disposition that out
strips the men They have feelings tina:
are more easily touched than men.
Second-They are more willing to
sacrifice their time and put forth theii
best energies to relieve suffering and
supply the wants of the needy without
even the promise Of compensation. They
want no greater reward than a cleas
conscience that they stand right befor,
God and to know that they have done
