SKILLED AS WRITERS. “As a matter of fact,” continued Dr. Reich, speaking with his characteristic torrential flow of words, covered that women in England—and society women, at that—not only have as much ihtellectual force as men, what you might call mere brain power, but they have several characteristics which make them immeasurably superior in every respect. are ‘wonderfully formalistic, and authority-ridden. holding their own beside their women companiens. ADVISES STUDY OF PLATO. “I predict for society women a great tuture. if they will only use the brains they undoubtedly posse: They should make up their minds tp study more genuine philosophy and leave off seek- ing to be thrilled by every ‘Ism’ that comes along. Society women all over the world are always on the lookout for a new shiver, and vet they seem to recognize that these noveities have nothing lasting in them—nothing worth while.” “What do you think they should do “I ‘have dis- to For instance, Men believe in noth- ing but precedent; they are averse td|[ asked, “In order to retain the su- novelty, ioverconservative, and espe- |periority they now possess over men®" clally specialistic.

I would recommend that they should read and study Plato, the Banquet first; then the Republic, the Dialogues, Theaetetus, Philetus, and the rest. They should also study Schopenhauer. They need not trouble about his pessimism. but they should learn all he has to say om psychology. his theory of art, his criti- cism of life. A very good book for society women to read would be Fer- rier's ‘Lectures on the History of Philosophy.’ " “Do you think the American woman capable of achleving anything along philosophic lines™" I asked. “Yes, indeed.” replied the doctor, “the American woman could do a great deal if she would only rid herseif of her. tremendous febrility—her desire for sensationalism is her greatest obstacle to success.
