Women, when their interest is finally won, are more luting in their friendships. 3. There is an instinctive rivalry between women, which, until it is overcome by the bonds of sympathy, is a bar to true, unselfish friendship. 4. There is an instinctive attraction between men aud women, which is a bar to safe and unselfish friendship. 5. Men expect more in return for their favours than women do. 6. Men are far more agreeable to approach in any matter requiring courtesy and politeness. 7. Women are far safer and more reliable friends in the long run. 8. The friendship of men noticeably decreases after a woman marries. 9. The friendship of women noticeably strengthens after a woman marries. 10. A good and efficient man is a better friend and adviser than a weak woman. 11. A good and efficient woman is a better friend and adviser than a weak man/ 12.
