unreliable quantity and Shakespeare
has celebrated the 'woman's wit,
which, when the door is shut, will out

denied, selects tho keyhole or flies out
with the smoke. But even more dif-
ficult to foresee or control is the &C

the small boy.
Young Mrs. Randall was often in
despair about Percy, who would ask
dreadful questions at inopportune
moments. For instance, when
there we're guests-and guests were
frequent at the minister's table-in
some lull of conversation Percy was
liable to point a fat finger at the
guest and solemnly inquire: Nam
ma. what's that mans manner"
However, Percy could by superhu-
man exertions, be made to understand
some things, and then he invariably
obeyed-one great comfort to the
Young mother Just before two visit

Randall had an interview with her
son, and succeeded in making him
understand that he must not ask PEG
