Az INTELLECTUALLY is o goot
thing for women to possess. Coco
. hard horse sense is better, but thC
best thing that any woman can be en-
dowed with by nature is woman sense =
declares Dorothy Dix, one Of the mos
most fascinating actresses in filmdom
Woman s intuition as it is generally
known, ism I any kind Of education that
can be taught from books or know
ledge, nor is it talent. 1t is an undis
eribably condition which exists within
ones self. It isn't merely a fascina-
tion. 1t Is something deeper and broad
er and omre comprehensive than any OF
fhese-a subtle something, a guiding
forte, that always enables woman ia
choose the right path and that leads he1
to success in life.
When the good fairy bends above a
girl baby's crib the supreme gift that
she leaves in the dimpled hand is not
beauty nor genius nor wealth. 1t is wO.
man S sense.
1t is woman sense that teaches a wo.
man how to make the most Of her wom.
anhood and to recognize that there are
certain immutable love of sexes that
cannot be altered. Therefore, the wom-
an who possesses this sense makes her
self first class woman instead Of try
ing to be second class imitation man.
She wears woman s clothes and adds a
few feminine frills, which makes them
into a most charming wearing apparel,
instead of donning some masculine at
tire, which only belittles her inmost
self. She eultivates the manner of a
lady, instead of that of a stable boy.
Woman sense teaches woman that the
masculine woman is just as much a
thing Of horror as the effcmente man.
Having selected her vocation the
woman sense goes about it in a decent,
womanly way. She does not have to be
fellow-well-met with all her masculine
fellow workers or is it necessary for
her to go about with prune and prism
expression, on her face as if she was
expecting insult at every turn.
In matrimony an ounce Of woman's
sense is worth tons and tons of all the
standard virtues for il is the one thing
that enables woman to make marriage
a success. 1t is the iron hand in the
velvet glove that makes it possible for
a woman to manage her husband and
rule her household with out her dispo-
sition even being suspected. ~
1t is the woman sense that makes
woman realize all men have a certain
childlike vanity that chiefly exhibits
itself desiring to pose as the head of the
house. Therefore the woman
who has woman sense or intui.
fion never arrogates that empty honor
to her self. She never says II did so
and so" or have decided to do this or
that no matter how much the case may
be.
Also she always prefaces every re.
mark, in her husbands hearing with
John says so and so" Of "John de-
cided this or that. Also she makes a
point to consult John upon everything
from the shape Of her hats to how the
children shall be educated, this is mere
iy to please John.
IL is woman sense that teacher her
that the biggest man and the cie7c,est
one and the strongest one is also the
biggest baby and that he wants the wo.
man he loves to pet him, mother him
and show him off before company.
IL is woman sense that makes women
perceive that women cannot shock pub.
lie opinion or not go against establish.
ed" conventions without hurting them.
