very-unwomanly" she calculated.

var, simply. SLANG is unwomanly
That's Just why it seemed to describ
her"
There was an ominous pause. Poo
young Mrs. Lochinvar rushed into 1T
breach.
"Would-would you like to look a
the baby?" she asked, uncertainty
Hes got two teeth"
II have written treatise on ba bies,
said the new woman. II read 1T be
fore the Mothers Amalgamated asso
citation last week. l am much inter
ested in babies-in the abstract" she
added, hurriedly, as young Mrs. Loeb
invar, with relieved countenance,
turned toward the cradle. Wholly in
the abstract. In the flesh--no."
He is lovely baby" said young
Mrs. Lochinvar, with the first trace OF
western spunk" she had shown.
"And'e-with distinct defance-"Loch-
invar thinks so, too. He says he never
saw baby like him!'
This time the new woman was'per-
force obliged to acknowledge the ex-
istence of a young Lochinvar She did
it Enthusiastically however.
You must be completely under y our
husbands dominion" she observed, in
plying tone.
Young Mrs. Lochinvar laughed out
right.
"Oh, no, indeed" she dubbed forth.
"Why, manage him completely, only
he never suspects it. That's the joke
of it, you know. He never suspects it.

who did"
"Why?" demanded the new woman,
with suspicious calmness.
"Why, you couldn't have any real

big boy of the school letting the little
'un lick him"
Women are the equals of man." be-
gan the lew woman, in an awful |
voice.
''Of course, of course" assented |
young Mrs. Lochinvar, emphatically. |
That's how they show it, you know,
by getting the best of the man without
his knowing it. And, Of course" she
went on, ingenuously, you must see
that If the man knew you managed
him and allowed it he wouldn't be
man at all And there wouldn't be any
fun in managing a-a-creature."
You pander, then, to mans notori-
BUS and nauseating desire to rule-to
himself the lord of crea tion?"
asked the new woman.

idiculous, but it's so-so-absolute.
