WOman's Great Need.

From the New York Truth.
Woman can never succeed in her struggle for
political and social equality till she learns to
put available pockets in her dress. Man has
them all over him--s pocket in the breast OF
his coat to keep his papers safe; in the side or
skirts. for his gloves and handkerchief; on the
outside OF his chest for the ornamental kerchief
that Is for show, not use; in his trousers for his
keys and his coined money, and, perhaps, at
the back, for his pistol in his wastcoat for his
watch and other trifes. Woman has but one
for all these uses, and that one so mysteriously
constructed. and so curiously hid away, that il
is practically useless. She carries her money
in her hand. and therefore the chances are ten
to one that she lays it down and forgets
to pick 1T up again, or in her bosom,
and can't get at it without unlacing her
corset or in her stocking and so has to go into a
hallway to extract it. Her letters are stuck
anywhere and everywhere about her clothes
and are generally posted in the gutter; her
small change mostly in her glove and has to be
skinned out when wanted-conseQuently she is
never ready for action. Everytime she has to
do anything she is obliged to institute an elab-
crate search, to pile up all the multifarious
contents OF these receptacles in her lap and
pick out the required article. Now a man
knows just where all his little comforts are and
simply dives into the pocket from which he
wants to extract any Of them. He loses no
time, runs no risk and is sure o; his game. The
is the reform of the pocket.
