I.WOMEN AS AN INSTITUTION.
"I f it were not for women, few of us would at present be in existence." This is the remark of a cautious and discreet writer. He was also sagacious and intelligent. Woman! Look upon her and admire her. Gaze upon her and love her. If she wishes to embrace you, permit her. Remember she is weak and you are strong. But don`t treat her unkindly. Don`t make love to another woman before her face, even if she be your wife. Don`t do it. Always be polite, even should she fancy somebody better than you. If your mother, my dear Amadis, had not fancied your father better than somebody, you might have been that somebody`s son. Consider this. Always be a philosopher, even about women. Few men understand women. Frenchmen, perhaps, better than any one else. I am a Frenchman.
