To come with a well informed mind, is to come with an inability of ad- ministering to the vanity of others, which a sensible person would al- ways wish to avoid. A woman, especially, if she has the misfor- tune of knowing anything, should con- ceal it as well as she can. . . . It will only add injustice to man that though, te the larger and more tri- fling part of the sex, imbecility in fe- males is a great enchantment of their personal charms, there is a portion of them too reasonable, and too well informed themselves, to desire any- thing more in woman than ignorance.” I should hesitate to make such a statement myself, but when a shrewd and intelligent woman is responsible for the idea I can only find confirma- tion of her opinions in my own experi- ence. This tendency of the intelligent, clever and well informed to mate wtth the ignorant is, I believe, not confined to my own sex. I have often seen {t illustrated in women of superior in- tellect. The explanation, I presume lies in the vanity of human beings and especially in men. Nothing feeds a man’s vanity more than the feeling of his superior knowledge. Ask him for information which he has at hand, | accounts of his listen to his tale of adventure, his investigations, his schemes for improving economic con- ditions or for reorganizing the gov- | ernment and you flatter him at onee. He begins to think you a person of unusual insight and perception, The dumb wife is usually a good listener, and a clever husband likes nothing better than to fill her with useful in- formation. Nothing so irritates a vain, even though he be an intelligent, man, than to be corrected in his state- ments of alleged facts, to find some one who knows more than he himself does about the subject which he may be discussing. It is for this reason that ignorance often fascinates, charms, and intrigues the man of su- perior training and intelligence. It is this weakness in man which led me to an understanding of Burns’ matrimonial bargain. He was a hand- some young fellow, both physically and mentally strong. He was exceed- ingly well informed not only upon law, which was his profession, but upon a half dozen other subjects quite re- mote from legal lore. He must have been very vain, for the woman he married, though well enough looking, was intellectually a total loss. I had never supposed that outside of a fee- ble-minded asylum, any person could be quite so dumb as an evening’s so- cial intercourse with Mrs. Jurns proved her to be. There could have been no other reason excepting her ignorance which had charmed Burns.

The Mayoruna women possess unusually expressive faces and hand- some figures. The tribe is nomadic in character, wandering through the jungles in search of food. In former times attacks and depreda- tions by the Mayorunas against set- tlers and travelers on the vast inland waterways of the upper Amazon trib- utaries were common occurrences.

Then Miss Redy was able to go out, but Sylvester became suspicious she was going out with others than him- self. Recently he left his rooms where the girl also lived, and returned a few hours later.
