THE CHARM OF SOCIETY.
—o — What is it that makes all those men who associate habitually with women superior to others who do not ? what makes that woman who is accustomed to and at ease in the society of men superior to her se x in general? Solely because they are in the habit ot free, graceful and continued conversations with the other sex. Women in this way lose their frivolity, their faculties awaken, their delicacies and peculiarities unfold all their beauty and captivation in the spirit of intellectual rivalry. And the ir n lose their pedantic, rude, declamatory . v sulbm manner. The coin of the und ■ ■ ending and the heart changes continually Their asperities are rubbed off, their better materials polished and brightened, and their richness, like (gold, is wrought into finer workmanship by the fingers of women than it ever could he by those of men. The iron and steel of their character are hidden like the character and armor of a giant, hy studs au l knots of good and precious stones when they me not wanted in actual warfare. —Cleveland Plaindealer.
