THINGS A MAN Can't Do Jennie T.
Hazen, in the Chicagoan, says there are
some things man can't do. as follows:
Some woman. in sudden burst Of in
geniousness. has acknowledged that there
are some things that woman can't do
and express unbounded admiration for the
men who do these things SO deity.
Well. what il they can do two or three
things better than a woman? | for one
am not going into ecstacies over them. nor
will I make a standing exclamation poih,
of myself. because they can do up bun
die and carry On umbrella.
Woman can do hundred things .ha,
they can't. butthey never think Of making
a great fuss about il.
One thing a man can't do is 10 own up
frankly that he can't do everything better
than woman can. Another thing he
can't do is to carry the baby. I've tried
them and I know. You just take one-a

give it to Joseph TO carry. and while you
are putting on your saque and hat. just
keep your eye on the baby. and you vii
see an ominous scuirming in the bundle,
and hear certain bali smo,hercd-but IA
