She will marry a man to "reform'
him, and though clothed in rags declare
that she is happy with the brute.
She can't throw a stone because she
isn't built that way !; but she can fire
a world of pathos into an appeal for a
new dress that will burst the toughest
purse strings asuuder.
She is usually more adept at making
matches than in striking them, and.
while she may not know how to
sharpen a kifc. she can in two minutes
hone up her -ongue in a way that Will
make it sharper than IL two-edged
swor!.
She may not be able to jump a four
rallied fence, but she jumps to conclu-
sions, and nine times out OF ten she
gets there While Il mau is reasoning it
all out.
She can quicken a mans mental
faculties by giving him pieces of her
mind She doesn't seem to feel the
loss either.
True, she spends much of her time
before the glass, but SO does a man.
only his too often has a bead Oh it.
According to some, she was called
woman because she brought woe to
man. This Interpretation, however,
is not only not scriptual, but is not
borne out by the facts.
Sue is also called a conumdrum. but
we will never give her up-never.
With all her faults we love her
still.
But, as she is seldom still, we shall
have to throw the mantle of CHART,
over that one, Took.
