Hungry for a Square Meal.
Nervously working his latch-key from
the door the business man hurried into
the house for his dinner. Hello, I say,
Jane, where are you?"
"Here I am, dear. have just got
one more feather to paint on this crane
and then it will be finished. Isn't it
going to be just lovel -"
81 know, yes, yes. Where's Jennie?"
"She's gone out to get few more
autumn leaves: one or two bare spaces
are left on the wall in her room,
"Well, well, of course; but where's
Bridget?"
ooh, she has gone to carry the basket;
for Jennie, you know, isn't strong"
To be sure, to be sure; but where's
the 6inner?"
CHOW, John, how can you be SO
cruel? You know that
eyes, I should think I did. I know
that the next time I'm such an Internal
fool as to bring copy of Household
Dirt into the house I'll be balder than I
am now. It may be jofred pretty; I'm
hungry for SQUARE meal. Painted
storks amt fricasseed chicken nor au-
tumn leaves celery" and he went out OF
the house in decided manner, leaving
James drops rapidly falling on her
red and blue heron, washing all the
pretty feathers out of its tail.
Stumbling Women.
Of course, the age has gone by in
which man can find the satisfaction he
used to take in the mere brute sense of
physical superiority to women. But
has he got rid of the aboriginal desire
to play the lord? Holding fast in his
hands the bulk of the desirable posi-
tons in life, does he look with satisfac-
ton on the idea of women stepping in
and claiming p modest percentage of
them? The man is neither fool or q
sentimental hypocrite who would assert
that the masculine majority does. Poll
the colleges of the land, and take the
vote of the chivalric students whether
the young women of the country should
enjoy the same advantages of educa-
ton with themselves. Nine to ten,
they would black-ball the idea. OF
course, they think they do this in the
best interest of the girls, who are too
sweet and dear to be reserved for any
purpose but balls and drives and lawn
tennis. And it must be admitted that
whole bevies of them are wonderfully
attractive for these purposes. But
suppose q certain proportion of them
do desire broader education, and are
unhappily endowed with an amount of
brain and enthusiasm that makes them
restless and miserable under conditions
that content the average. Do the
ranks OF man spontaneously divide for
their passage through; do the hats
come Off in respect, while the voices
raise the "Salve Regina?" No. from
the start the superior girl has to take
an amount of snubbing from hes
brothers at home, society at large, and
the established orders in the medical
or other profession she aspires to, that
would bluff off and dishearten half the
boys and young men of the land.
There are, no doubt, notable exceptions
to such disposition among men, and
their number is increasing. Still the
true knight-errantry Of the age is, as
yet, confined to the limited few, who,
having conquered the seductive luxury
of indulging in a certain intellectual
contempt for women, are chivalrously
addressing themselves to the rescue of
distressed maidens set upon by a mob
ners. Marriage, again, is surrounded,
as among civilized people, by laws of
forbidden degrees" which are very
curious, very little understood, and
which in many ways resemble. while in
laws of other undeveloped peoples.
Wives are chiefly obtained by exchange.
The dominant male of group-father,
eldest brother or uncle has the GUS
