THIS is old, but il is true and good
enough to be repeated: A woman will
take the smallest drawer in the bureau
for her own private use, and will store in
it dainty fragments of ribbon, and scraps
of lace, foamy ruff1es, velvet things for
the neck, bundles of old love-letters,
pieces of jewelry, handkerchiefs, fans,
things that no man knows the name of;
all sorts of fresh-looking, bright little
articles, that you couldn't catalogue in
2 column, and at any time she can go to
that drawer and pick up any one of them
she wants without disturbing anything
else. Whereas a man, having the big
gest, deepest and widest drawer assigned
to him, will put into it a couple of socks,
collar-box, an old necktie, two hand
kerchiefs, pipe and a pair Of braces,
and to save his life he can't shut that
drawer without leaving more ends of
things sticking out than there ase things
in it.-BufGlO Commercial.
