Presents formulae from its 'Mathematical Correspondent' which show the 'shortest way to a female heart under any given circumstances'. These are less mathematical than logical arguments. For example, 'If she is married, but not a mother—Praise her Husband. If she is married, and also a mother—Praise her Children'. | |
