SAYINGS ABOUT WOMEN.
The highest mark of esteem a woman can give a man is to ask his friendship ; and the most signal proof of her indifference is to offer him hers.
Ouida: Woman only runs away to be run after, and if you do not pursue her, she comes back—always.
Men are so fearful of wounding a woman's vanity that they rarely remember that she may by some possibility possess a grain of common sense. —Miss Braddon. "Don't you think," said he, " that the women are possessed by Satan ?" " Yes, as soon as they are married," replied she sweetly. Henry Watterson: Woman is the hand organ of the devil, and man is the monkey that dances to the music. Seneca: The goodness of gold is tried by fire, the goodness of women by gold, and the goodness of men by women., . Hilda Eruger: A pretty foot is very like those pocket-books we see advertised as lost—"of-no .'value to anyone except the owner."
