WomAN's PRERoeATIvEs.

They are Discussed By the Blonde and
the Bruneste.
There was no doubt about it, a femin-
inc battle was to the fore, says q writer
in the Sun The blonde sat and looked
at the brunette with stare that would
have done credit to a Japanese doll The
brunette asserted emphaticalIy. "a
woman can do everything man can do,
and do it just as well. For instance,
look at the women doctors"
YES answered the blonde, '1ook at
them. They don't walk the hospitals as
the men do, and the consequence is they
only see one side of the illnesses of life,
and they are utterly incompetent to treat
anybody except from their point OF
view"
But, spoke up the brunette, think
OF the women lawyers
Il think of them," responded the
blonde. ''for they seem to have precious
little to think with. They jump at
conclusion with q womanly instinct;
while man has reasoned mp to it, and
the consequence is that when they argue
they work like a crab-backwa
"Then," said the brunette, s'see the
the women writers!"
Yes" said the blonde, sssee them.
As long as they put their womanliness in
their work they are successful, but the
minute they tackle what is really mans
prerogative, the power, and not the fancy
OF the pen, their work is not good, for il
n ba -
dain tiness OF femininity"
''Then," said the brunette, show arc
they as actorsf'
Very good, indeed" answered tho
blonde; that is because acting comes
natural to them. A baby girl of two
years will play the coquette with her
father, and right straight on through
life she smiles when she has a pain at
her heart, or acts in some way. agree
with George Moore; acting is not an art.
for the child can act when it could not
paint q picture or write book"
We'll, what about dressmakersf'
queried the brunette.
go into your wardrobe and inquire"
came the blondes reply. "a man made
your riding habit; a man made your cloth
gown; the most noted of French dress
makers made your dinner dress; the most
aesthetic of English diapers made your
tea gown; your fur coats were made by
men: it is possible that your lingerie was
made by women, but ten to one q man
took the order and suggested the de.
signs"
After this the brunette very weakly
asked, "How about the hairdessersr'
Then the blonde laughed. "Your hair
and mine may be dressed by a woman,
but every year there is a conclave of men
who meet to decide the styles, to suggest
improvements, and the one before whom
they all bow, and the one who for ten
years has fought against the bleaching of
hair is a man."
But there are Minister'S" responded
the brunette
''Oh, are there" Indignantly asked the /
blonde, would you feel married il n |
woman performed the ceremony, st.
Paul knew what he was about when he |
objected to this.
But cooks !'pleaded the brunette.
Cooks" Indignantly answered thu
blonde, don't you turn with intense de-
light either to French chef or a China
nana Ny dear girl, there are three pro-
LESSONS in life that women can fill to adj
vantage, in which no man can equal
hem, no man can come near them; they
'urpass him beyond everything. They
ire daughter, wife and mother. And no
matter how advanced we may think
women are, these are really the only pro-
essions in which they rise superior to
nan. Whether you are convinced or
lot, it is true. SO come along with me
md have cup of tea with the babies"
And the man who had listened to all |
his felt wild inclination to get up and
rug the blonde, and the only thing that
prevented him from doing such an enthu-
iastic thing was-that she was his own
wife.
