WOMEN—AND WOMEN.
According to a German lecturer, Dr Abnel, the world's well-being is threatened by the unnatural adoration of stroug-minded women for rakes, Jove-laces and Don Juans. "The more solemn, detached and political a woman becomes," says Dr Abnel, "the mor© certain is she to choose a dissolute man a® the object of her affections." He asserts that clinging, domestic-minded women are attracted to honest and reserved men, and their instincts seldom betray them. The "woman politician/' however has lost the selective instinct of the female, and is destined to be fooled and deceived. "Nature usually Intervenes to protect women by making them unattractive/' cm. t'.nues the erudite doctor; "if they are attractive, they are doomed. They flutter towards the first Don Juan (ike motlfis, and are consumed before they realise their own folly. The rake is the counterpart of the woman vote-seeker; and when all women have votes, all men will be rakes."
