Most of our fair contemporaries good-humoredly accept the rapu- tation for garrulity imputod to- thoir sox since time immemorial. And any unbiassed observer will confirm the fact that women have by no moans lost their taste for talking.
What is the cause of this ex- traordinary difference in the pro, pensity for talking between tho two sexos? Learno gölemen Beaufo us that the explanation.. is a purely physiological one.
