A fROBLEM IN THE OF WOMEN
TO THE AVERAGE MANS WHIM.
"Clara Bell' in the Cincinnati Enquirer
Look here, now, considering the point reason
ably, mustn't you admit that great deal is ex-
pected of women in the way Of molding herself
to circumstances? If her sweetheart be GRO
chiefly, jealous, exacting, she must shape herself
to his peculiaritieS Of temper. If her hus band
be cranky in his ideas Of conjusal felicity she
must, somehow, dispose herself as comfortably
as may be around them. Nevertheless, my
sisters ought to get the credit of their martyr
dom. That same quality of self-abncgation ex-
plains why it is that pretty girls often marry
ugly men. 1t illustrates the point that women
are ever deferring to circumstances in manner
that men won't. Ten girls wed old men where
one young chap husbands q venerable matron
debt OF gratitude is owed to woman in this
particular, honestly and truly.
Speaking of aged bridegrooIns, one of them
took his youthful bride to Barnum's show The
pair stopped in front of the snake-charmer,

Benny Butler declares that Washington is
about as bad place as a sane man can go to,
and We agree with him. Still, it beats creation
how we all want to get there.-Phitddelphia
Times.
Woman is herself creature of intuition. as
everybody will admit, but that's no reason why
she should sally out on the street with thick
drab veil drawn over her face away down to her
chin. and then expect every male being Of her
acquaintance she meets to recognize her halt a
block away.-Somerctle Journal.

Army Intelligence.-An army officer who had
been dismissed from the army for duplicating

with woman who would SO far forget herself
as TO walk out with man Of his reputation."-
