For men do not understand women's narvaa and they get very tired of them. A man may ba nervoua. but tha condi tion manifests Itself very differently In hla case. He gets cross, of sulky, or de pressed, or silent It Is, after all, not tile fault that he cannot 'comprehend Just hew a. woman feels. But he resents her not feeling kappy and calm, "fthut up that racket!" roars tha father to tha children who are leugblng or play ing. "Don't you know that your moths. Is nervous".

In a etory called "A Columbus of Upaos," I have shown some of tha waya In which suoh ap parently superhumaa powers of expres sion might be utilised by being of a very high order of Intelligence. An article which I have Just been read ing In tha Hay number of the CoemopoU ton megagina, on a wonderful new Eng lish dancer, with a strange name, "Rpsh. anara." leads me to thia brief discus sion of a eubjoct of vast human Interest. It appears that this girl, who learned her art la Bombay and Cut cutis before aston ishing London with Its perfections, poss esses aa a ma sing power to express, by mere motions and poses, thoughts, fears ea prices, bo pee. prayers, wishes and all that with a beauty and barmoay of movement which captivates the behold ers, she has taught her whole body to apeak, without opening her lips. She Is a allenv actress, who mores the specta tors more then many actresses who nave learned the whole art of elocution can do. But It hi not ordinary pentomlne that alia pracTk-es-it Is the poetry and the speech of motion. All this Is possible, ho doubt ths gift Is a personal. It la a kind of genius, tie mote, ancestral strains have. In her, coma to the surface, refined by the ages of advance intelligence which the race has undergone It is a fsir subiert for philosophical 'discussion whether, upon the whole, It would bs desirable for mankind to ac quire, or develop posers like those of this dancing girl. But It la certain that. their possession would render life more pic turesque. . Under no eoncolvabis circumstances, however, could lengusge, either spoken or printed, be abandoned. Thia la supreme acqmstion. which man. aaves can, or should, lose. But. who bss not thoughts and feelings which ba cannot put. Into word, but can express Is other ways? A language would need Ideas and emo tions -end then It would be too poor.

Yet If she called hsr husband's attention to this (act ba would probably remind her that hla only dsslra had been to protect her from ths effects of the children's noise.

A healthy, strong man does not comprehend bow certain tilings affect a woman. As he cannot undarstaad them, why talk 'to him about them?

The difference In the nervoua organism of tha mala and fa. mala of tha epecies Is aaa af the things which no man can under stand, or wants to understand. That la where tha six dif ference manifests Itself. There are maas waya In which women are Incomprehen sible to men and in talking with than we would da well te avoid meatioa of these. There are things about men that may be Incomprehensible to women, but our sex would not acknowledge it. aar do all men oonfesa that womea ara enig mas. They sre not, really, but men think they are. Karln Mlchsells says. "I have conversed with many famoua doc tors and have pretended to admire their knowledge while Inwardly I was much amused at their simplicity. They know how to cut us open and stitch us p againas children ' open their dolls to 1 the sawdust with which they are stuffed end eew them up again, aftsr- warris with a needle and thread.
