FAULTS OF WOMEN. . I Proverbs of women arc known to all people' but, the Japanese j have a number which arc unusual in that they disclose an under-; valuation of womankind. I One of the Japanese proverbs is as follows: ' ' If you want lo love women begin by spending women." In other words, women are most flattered by the attention of the dollar. American women would resent that imputation. . Another proverb says: "Women and mountains should be looked on at a distance." With eye brows thinned to a razor blade, hair bleached, cheeks painted and nose powdered, perhaps it. is well not to get too close. Women fall in love with their protectors, men with women," says the Japanese sage. This is noticeable during periods of war, when women adore the soldier. But here is a judging of woman's nature., "which is bad philosophy: phi-losophy: "Men who can neither brag nor flatter need not fear being loved by women." From the foregoing we must conclude that women are gullible. By the way, the man who brags and flatters often gains the confidence confi-dence of men. So women are not the only victims of boast and brag, and of vanity.
