Women in Switzerland.

Women, both in France and Switzerland. have a far more important role in the family, among the middle and lower classes, than with us. The female, though not exempt from hard work, undertakes the thtnking and managing department in the family affairs, and the husband is but the executive officer. In Switzerland, especially, the female is notably superior in manners, habits, tact, and intelligence to the husband.
