A worsted woman always, either silently or volubly, calls down a curse
upon her successful rival.--And 't is a curse that too often fails.

Many women handicap other women; and they handicap them in multifarious
ways. Probably the one most frequently used is lavishness of favors.

The woman who is lavish of favors is hated of her stricter sisters. But,
before these, what an air of bravado she wears!

As a rule, women are far better readers of character than are men. A
woman will often startle a man by her penetrating insight into character.
And

Many a man has been put on his guard by female institution.

The fragilest woman will be ill content with suppressed embraces. And

The ablest-bodied woman loves being petted. Even

A prude is a shy coquette.
