A man can get into a berth and shuck
himself very comfortably. He can
stand ON his knees and duck his head
and take off some Of his clothes, and
then he can lay dawn on his shoulders or
the back of his neck AMI kick off other
articles of wearing apparel. because
when the buttons are unbuttoned his
clothes are as liable TO come off in the
dark as in the light. But it is different
with a woman; her clothes are pinned on
with all kinds Of pins. from the safety
pin to the darning needle, tied on with
strings. hooked on with hooks and eyes,
buckled Oh with buckles, and put on in
many ways only known to the fair sex.
Give her a large enough room, three or
four gas lamps, and a large mirror and
plenty of time, and she can find nearly
all the pins. strings hooks and eyes,
buckles, etc, and what she cant find she
can break ct night and tie up in the
