Of congratulation from various nglsh
women's associations to the women of
Wyoming on their possession of the ballot
under the state constitution. She says
woman suffrage will make no progress in
Great Britain until Parliament has a
breathing spell in that day, not apparently
close at hand, when we have got home rule
for Ireland.n
She thinks Women reporters are multiply
ing so rapidly in London that it has almost
ceased to be legitimate for a foreigner to
express surprise at being interviewed in
this country by a woman. Like every true
daughter of Britain who ever crossed the
Atlantic ferry, she feels as if plunged into
a Turkish bath in your hot American
houses" but unlike most Britous, she finds
American women, not only more vivacious
than their cousins, but, on an average, as
clear Of skin and as strong and healthy
looking.
III Q GIVE DOLLAR.
heard a little story the other day which
was said to illustrate a difference between
men and women of that, be you the judges.
There was delivered over to the tender
mercies of a fine, brown-eyed customs in
spectress a woman suspected Of smuggling,
on whose person, indeed, examination
brought to light silk enough for a dress or
two, and no one will ever know why she
thought 1T necessary to conceal these-S300
in gold pieces. The culprit was over
whelmed with modification.
"You won't expose me-" she begged;
| ''you won't give my name!"
The inspectress folded up the silk and
said nothing.
"For the love of heaven, you won't let it
go into the papers?"
The inspectress did not answer.
II beseech you, l implore you;" here she
cast herself upon the neck of the inspec-
tress, ''be merciful. l will give you any
thing you ask. I'll give you all 1 nave on
earth. I'll give you a dollar!"
And where does the man come in?
Oh, nowhere; except that in the opinion
of the lnspectress a man affected to sucn
anguish would nave offered the $500.
1t is a more difficult matter for a woman
to conceal anything about her than it was in
the days of the late larnented bustle-here
one is tempted to allude to the hoop skirt
rumor-and this has lightened greatly the
labors of the inspectresses. who are now only
searchers of the person; yet as they stand
at the gang plank watching passengers
come ashore there chances now and then ia
one of them something of interest.
"Have you struggled anything?" asked a
brighteyed, eXcitable little creature
bundled up in furs, of the woman who stood
next to her on the dock the other morning,
"No."
"Well, 1 have, and 1 do wish I were out
of here"
A little pause and. then, ''What is it?n
'It's just the loveliestl lace wrap that evel
was, and 1 can't keep my eyes off it a single
minute. l am so afraid somebody will gef
hold of it."
'You mean an inspector?"
eyes; It's in that gentleman's trunk ovel
there, done up in his steamer blankets,
do so hope l shall get it through"
"Well, l am sorry you told me about it
for"
WHAT" A start, a throwing up of thu
hands and then: You're not-have l beer
talking to one of those dreadful creatures? g
And the wrap paid duty-hysterically-
