Women are OmnivorOus newspaper
readers. That is the reason why Sc
many Of them find employment in writ
ing what heard a newspaper man de-
nominate as 'the rot that women read. y
However, the cynical newspaper friend
was triiie dyspeptic in his judgments.
Women do read the articles that are
written with especial reference to their
tastes, but they also read the editorial
and telegraphic reports from all over
the globe and the bargains in under
wear. Then they turn over the page
and pursue the advertisements from
"Wanted-an amanuensis" down to
Nine. Sellgars, the Gypsy, who gives
advice in love, ,matrimony, business, etc,
not because they want an amanuensis or
desire any advice in love, matrimony
or business, but because when woman
does a thing she does il thoroughly be
it cross-examining her husband about
the French ball or reading the daily
paper The truth is women must read
the papers TO be in touch with the af-
fairs of this busy, whirling world. The
day when woman's charm was in her
face alone has passed, forever. Now,
she must be able to understand the poll
teal illusions of her husbands friends,
to tell the latest bon mot to the man who
hands her in to dinner and TO discuss
with the chance caller the attitude Of
the Startler in regard TO the italian
trouble and other like important mat
