MASCULINE WOMEN. I have always maintained that the playing of strenuous games by girls in their “ teens ” tends to make them hard and masculine, both physically and mentally. I have found again and again that women who develop masculine characteristics, if they have children. have boys who are generally weakly, and that it is the small, delicate, feminine woman who passes on the strength that she has held in trust for her boys, who are strong and manly .-r-Miss Charlotte Cowdroy. headmistress of Crouch End High School.
