An Incident Illustrating n Trait In
Woman's Nature.
"Do you see the woman walking in
front Of us there?" asked the man with
the fashionable tie to the friend who
was strolling up Broadway with him.
do you notice anything particularly
striking about her? Nothing, except
that she Is very well dressed? That's
what I would say Now, I'll bet you
half dollar that when she passes tho
three women walking just ahead Of her
all three will nudge each other stimuli
taneously."
The woman behind was walking
faster than the three in front and she
soon passed them. The three women
looked her over from foot to head, then
nudged each other with their elbows as
fif possessed with the same thought.
How did you know ito" inquired the
friend as the other pocketed the half
dollar
81 didn't know It." was the reply. 'Ii
/ had it would have been taking an IN
fair advantage of you to bet. But I
was reasonably certain of 1t. There is
a certain incescribable something in
some women's manner, appearance and
carriage that causes all other women to
nudge each other at sight of her. 1
couldn't tel you just what it is, but I'm
ready to put up wager on it every
time. The nudge is simply part Of
women's sign language which means
something that cannot be put into
words. bit which every other woman
understands. New York Press.
