Show About Women. Only fools laugh at the woman who lavishes her caresses on a canary or a pug dog. The discerning weep at the tragedy of a heart so poor that it has nothing better on which to expend its love. Women gauge virtue by emotion. They always believe in the goodness of a man whose voice trembles when he prays aloud in prayer meeting, and are convinced that the women criminal who weeps when she tells her story is a poor, abused, persecuted persecu-ted creature. The reason that the statue of justice jus-tice is always represented as a female figure with blindfolded eyes, is because be-cause women will never" see justice done if they can help it. A woman likes to be praised for her good looks, but the flattery that sweeps her off her feet is for a man to treat her as If she was a creature with almost human intelligence. A man never tells a woman the truth except when he is angry with her. That is the reason that women are afraid of the truth and always dodge it if they can. Dorothy Dix, in New York American. |
