ThA ArmIess woman.


Lady" on Market street the other
day. Not that we are much given to
side shows of any description, but
we were ensnared into this wonder,
the anticipation of really beaolding
the most wonderful curiosity in the
world, by reason of the doorkeeper,
who was an Anglo American, an.
nouncing his attraction as "Harm-
less Lady" Instead of this rara
avis we discovered only an ordinary
female of our species without arms;
her tongue was still left. We con-
soled ourselves, however, with many
solemn meditations thereon. Among
other things we wrestled with the
problem why curiosities and shop
girls always call themselves ladies,
while ladies always call themselves
women. To the deep student who
reflects out his two bits worth on
such an occasion, the career of an
srml sss woman presents some Curl
Gus features. We can really imagine

other circus requirements with her
feet. We can even conceive her ped.
alistically keeping her end, or ends.
up at . crazy.quilt scandal meeting,
and, like her sisters, making more
trouble with her tongue in an hour
than she could unravel with two sets
of fingers in month. But there are
situations we could think of in which
the armless woman would labor under
difficulties of a very distressing ma
ture. Suppose the young person in
question falls in love, either with a
man or sealskin sack the symptoms
are identical, and it comes to the same
thing in the end. 10 the victim in
such cases made and provided, to sit
on the sofa holding her soft dimpled
foot in his manly grasp for whole

but mightn I it look u little quaint,
to say the least. And how could he
endure the shock of seeing her stand
on an ottoman with one leg, while
she turned down the gas with the

blushing bride to the altar, wouldn't
it somewhat rattle the congregation,
as it were, to see her blusbingly sit

ing toes she removed her stocking for
the fatal ring2 Let US concede also
for illustration, that sickness strikes
down the head of the family. How
would it seem to behold the patient
watcher smooth the sufferers fevered
brow with her instep, so to speak.
And then, when the green-eyed mon
ster, jealousy, visited the pair, and
the husband should accuse his tickle
helpmeet of throwing kisses across
the theatre to some stockbroker with
her big toe, she would be compelled
under the circumstances, to lay her
right foot on her heart and solemnlv
