Women are far more ruthlessly direct than men-also, they care less what the world at large thinks of them. A man will dither and doubt and wonder, when a problem is to be solved, as to whether a "decent fellow" could really solve it in "that way." The solving of the problem is so supremely im- portant to the woman that she will make for the solution at once, in- atanter, entirely regardless of whether the said solution may be mado by constitutional methods or nat!
