DISCUSSES WOMEN AND LOGIC

Henri Robert of Paris Shocks Audience at Lecture by Curious Assertion. Paris.—Maitre Henri Robert, who is delivering a course of lectures on femininity, in speaking of women criminals said that there was no difference between them and other women. This shocked his audience, which was made up mostly of women, and so jbe explained. When driven to defend themselves, ■be said, female culprits showed far more vivacity and spirit than male prisoners. Man had invented logic, which, as we all know, turns out to he sheer nohsense in practical life. Women do not care for logic. They defend themselves better without it. Man is hampered by a terrible quality, that •of sequence. He cannot get the sequence of ideas and things out of his head. Women can do very well without it and succeed much better. Their Ideaß take to ..flight when necessary, and that is a more radical solution.-
