Women have hard time, no matter
how you look at it.
How would military man like to be-
on dress parade from cradle 10 the
grave? That's what q woman has to
be.
A man can luxuriate in mental dress
ing gown and slippers half of his life.
and stretch his arms and put his feet up
and take fate easily, but q woman can't
shake the harness off and have q good
fling IN any direction whatever for one
moment, without paying for it for
year.
If man has ten minutes in which to
keep an appointment he cap Jump into
his clothes anyhow, run after car, gst
there on time and never turn q hair. A
woman's hooks won't hook, her buttons
won't button, she loses one glove, her
hair came out of crimp and she can't
even swear at the conductor who
wouldn't pull the bell-rope till after she
had walked quarter of a block and
partly dislocated her arm that brand
ished her umbrella. She is fifteen
minutes late, and the men all speak
maledictions under their breath at the
woman who never can be on time"
while the fellow who took fancy to her
on former occasion discovers that she's
a guy with her face flushed and her col
lar awry, and never looks at her again.
When things go wrong with man he
can neglect his barber for day or two
and forget the brilliantine for his mus

Byronic and interesting, you know"
But woman may have a thousand
gnawing devils st her heart-strings, and
she's obliged to put on just so much
pottdre de Tiz, and to pull out the gray
hairs on her temple, and pinch the
wrinkles out between her eyes ali the
same, or she's handed over to the world
by her hundred most intimate friends as
~such wreck, my DEAR" and the jury
on the case, and even her lawyer, begin
to find excuses for the husband.
If man has weary nerves and
humping headache, nothing prevents
his coming home and tying a towel
about his brows like Turk; and being
as grumpy as one the rest of the even
ing. But q woman in the same case can
only look longingly at her old wrapper,
and then go and painfully bind up her
Psyche not and an agreeable smile at
exactly the right angle, else she will
hear that Hang it! It's enough to
drive fellow to his club to have a I'M
tidy wife lying about on the sofas!" and
that "the deuce knows why a woman
always manages to look pretty before
marriage, and never after"
1t is generally supposed that if wo-
man can only sit down and have a good
cry that is panacea for all her woes.
But when she finds out that the indul-
gence makes her nose red and swells it
she has to give up that satisfaction
along with the others. A man may ex-
hibit fearlessly, upon occasions, a car
mine proboscis produced by causes far
less confessable, but a wife is pro-
nounced not half wife and woman if
she shrinks from him on that account.
In fact, being woman at all is a
snare and delusion.
1t sounds very, very nice, but it's
awful. A woman isn't even allowed to
grow old in peace. Going the course
of all nature is just the worst crime she
can commit. If she isn't married her
brothers don't forgive her for it, and if
she is married her husband won't.
So there it is; bore any way you
look at it.-St. Louis Star Sayings.
