SOME SILLY NAMES OF WOMEN.
Not long ago met gaunt, tall, bouy
specimen Of womankind, with nose
decidedly rosy In hue, and a method Of
speaking 10 you that was subduing; in
deed, II might DO called snaply. She
was Just on tho sunny side OF iifty, and
her sister called her "Pussyln [ felt
the widest possible inclination 10
laugh, and then felt sorry for her,
because blamed her own people for
this nonsensical naming. She looked
more like an old cat, who had gone
through innumerable fights and came
out victor, than a white, soft kitten.
Isn't IL awful 10 meet women who are
no longer fresh, who are called Daisy2
| Isn't il narrowing 10 tumble across a
woman who is all thorns and find
that she calls herself Rose Isn't 1t
ridiculous to meet woman nearly six
feet high and hear her addressed as
| Tiny And isn't II absolutely idiotic
| to find n colorless creature with grey
eyes and ashy hair who speaks OF her
self as Pinkey? Give me name that
you are not ashamed 10 sec on a check
or tombstone-that is credit TO you
while you arc young, and sufficiently
dignifed when you are old. What the
people who love us may call us is another
thing-that should be done when there
are no strangers around, but for the
world at large TO know woman, not a
girl, mind you, but woman, as Pinky
or Pussy, Is disgrace to American
civilization.
A girl ought TO DO taught TO write
her name as II is given to her, for II II
is an ugly one, she can make II beauti-
full by her own charms; II, unfortunate
ly, she had fools for parents, she ought
10 have the privilege OF altering her
front name long before she changes the
last one--when entering the holy state
Of matrimony. Somebody know
laughs at this and says, "You would
y
loved him. II he were ninety; perhaps
| would, but should do IL when ! was
alone with him, and ! should preface It
with two adjectives--dear and old. !
certainly should not call him "Tottyn
or "Lambkins," as have heard women
called.
woMNN'S THREE NOBLE PROFESSIONS.
And yet after the Chicago fair women
are TO do everything. You see, woman
is TO drive the nail 10, and that is es-
sentially the work Of man. l don't
mean this as any old joke; know it to
DO sad and sorry truth, have stood
on back Of q chair with nail In one
hand and hammer In the other, and II
tho nail got Into the place II should get
without the hummer lying back in my
face, or yiclOusly bruising my fingers,
it was due to accident; II was never due
to my good sense. frankly ard freely
confess this, and really shall begin to
believe that
WOMEN WILL OWN THE FUTURE
whom | SEQ the nail and hammer sub
seryient TO the feminine hand. 1t isn't
yet. 1 have made inquiries, and
know what am talking about. Untll
1t Is, there is hope in my mind that
women will, as far as possible, stick 10
those three beautiful professions In
which no man can ever reach them,
even get nelr them-the professions OF
daughter, mother and wife. Yes,
| think IT, You many not agree with
me, because you have aspirations.
But II you are man, real man, a
straight-all- tho way-through man, you
do. You say, Here, ! want TO take
care of the women Of my family and
you do H. / tell you, my friend, this
being taken care OF IL very good
thing. The peach may be Just as at
tructiye, just as sweet but the bloom
very soon goes of it when 1t is displayed
on corner fruit stand and woman
can't DO quite the same, not quite az
fine or quite az feminine II she has to
go out and fight the world for her bread
and butter. Remembers am not say
ing one word against the great army OF
women who do this b nurably and no
bly,, who are obliged to do II, and who,
pray God may succeed. But IL is bet
ter. much better, IL you are a woman,
TO DO taken care Of
ALL MANNER or NICE THINGS,
II ls all very nice TO paint picture
and get medal for IL and some money,
and to work and work TO make moro
successes but II Is great deal nicer
to make beautiful the home nest and to
be the one who gives tho loving APP
plause for the work done.
IL is all very nice to write an article
and have people praise you for II, and
have somebody tell you what you may
be IN the future-but IL Ia a great dea
nicer to make dainty little irocks iol
small people who, In the near future
are going 10 give you love us a reward
II Is all very nice to touch tho keys
OF the typewriter all day long, wher
each click means more moncy-but Il
is great deal nicer 10 have somebody
else touch your heart, and to realize
that the money which you hold wa
earned for you by somebody who Is dc
voted 10 you.
, II Is ali very nice TO be on the stag,
and receive the applause OF the public
and 10 have your name In all the paper
and your pictures overywhere-but !
| Is great deal nicer 10 have one MAJ
/ treasure your picture, to have thos
: you love 10 approve Of you and to b
! cared for aud made much OF by them,
) IL Is oil very nico 10 be Independent

I thing TO love you, and you want homo
y and you want people who are esser
