How SHE READS A NEwSPAPER.-S)n
body says that one who will watch woman
read newspaper will get some new ideas
on the characteristics Of the gentier sex. She
takes It MP hurried'y and higgins to scan it
over rapidly, rs though she was hunting
some particular thing; but she is not, She
is merely taking in the obscure paragraphs,
which she believes were put in out-of-the-
way places for the sole purpose of keeping
her from seeing them. As she finishes each
one her countenance brightens with the
comforting reflection that she has outwitted
the editor and the whole race of men, for she
has vague belief that newspapers are the enc
mics of her sex and editors its chief oppres-
sors. She never reads the headlines, and the
huge telegraph heads she never even sees
She is greedy for local news, and devours il
with the keenest relish, Marriages and
deaths are always interesting reading TO her
