A WOMAN ON WOMEN
Mrs. M. Or. Adams, a Cambridge lecturer on biology, has been making some rather unusnal -observations upon her own sex. Women, she declares (according" to the "Birmingham-Post"), arc more childlike than men. They are more primitive, possess more distinctly human characteristics, are more proeocious, but are less variable than men. Men tend more to become hermits and faddists, lunatics, suicides—and geniuses. Many women still consider their clothes to be ornaments. . Men long ago gave up that primitive attitude towards dress. Women d're more superstitious, and bear pain more easily. Finally, man puts his feet on the mantelpiece as a symptom of his wish to retain his animal characteristics.
