A student of human nature invested
q small sum of money last week for
the purpose of testing the honesty of
New York people. He bought six small
purses and put in each AZ cents, door
kew and a card with his own name and
address. He then proceeded to drop
these purses in the streets and on the
floors of the large dry goods stores. In
less than twenty-four hours five of the
purses were returned, and in each case
by a woman. This may or may not
prove anything concerning the honesty
of women as compared with men, but
it certainly seems to show that women
are the sharper sighted.
