boots to turn one inch either to the,right OF
left when they should have sayed you from a 4
streaming gutter by the operation? Patent
feathers don't behave so--not they ~,
Did you ever.know a woman to say, II am
sorry to give so much trouble when the dry
good clerks have turned. everything topsy
tarvey, without finding the alade or color
that never existed? -
Did YOU ever know q woman who did not
know st was outrageous" for another womana

There's one thing we never. cease to be in
4 wardly thankful foF-that we're not a man,
! consequently not obliged to marry one of
'em. Why, she would drive Us crazy in a
week; with her whims and fapcies, her exae-
tions and her prettyEw We would make
/ the most en-pecked husband in the world,
/ unless, indeed, we had the nerve to run away
t from her, or shut her up nsa closet for week,
until she promised to behave BETTER, When
! a woman chooses, she can be the nearest thing
to an angel of anything in the world, and
