peep at the women's quarters this morn

We saw several of the parties-some
were talking with each other, and others
were reading the morning papers One
was reading an account of herself, and
saw, to use her own phrase, what that
nasty, sinking reporter had to say about
her. Another one said she had been
there four or five times, but the con-
founded newspaper man never did get
her name in print right She felt very
indignant at The printer for this, and was
sure that she had lost name on account
of the types being placed in the wrong
place. Still another was nursing the

though she had been the mother. She
kissed it, petted it, and took as much in

so kind, how inhuman must have been
the mother who deserted it.
