A woman’s advice is generally worth having ; so, if you are in any trouble, tell your mother, or your wife, or your sister, all about it. Be assured that light will flash upon your darkness. Women are too commonly adjudged verdant in all but purely womanish affairs. Their intuitions or insights are most subtle; and if they cannot see a oat in the meal there is no cat there.
