The most difficult thing in the world for
a woman to do is to get ready to 60 any
where and there is nothing a woman will
resent quicker or more fercely than an init
nation that she may possibly miss the train.
Our friend, Brayfogle, gives us an instance
of this. Mr.. Bray was supposed to take
the ten o'clock train on the Bee Line to Wis
it some relatives in an interior town. Hav-
ing suffered on previous occasions for inju-
dicious suggestions, Bray thought that, for
once, he would let things take their natural
course. So he slipped his coffee and ate his
eggs on toast. while Madame curled and
powdered, and danced attendance on the
looking glass, and tied bark on the back of
her head Then Bray sat by the stove for
an hour and read the morning paper, while
the Madame still continued to get ready
At last, just as he had reached the final par
agraph Of reading matter, and was begin
ming on the advertisements, Madame tied
her bonnet strings under her chin, took one
long. lingering. loving Look at the image
reflected in the glass, and sweetly an
nounced:
"Well, my dear, I'm ready
s'Ready for aohat ?" asked Bray, in we'll
affected establishment
"To go to the depot, to be sure,' said
Mrs Brayfogle, tartly.
"Oh p said Bray ''Id forgotten. Well
Madame" continued he, looking at his
watch, "that train has been gone thirteen
minutes. just keep on your things, and
you'll be ready for the train tomorrow
morning. ... .
We draw veil over what followed We
are assured, however, that next morning
Mrs. B. was ready an hour ahead Of time.
