Women who complain of being
bored with so few interesting things
to think about should take up some
of the subjects for investigation that
are geing proposed. A Boston man,
for instance, is very anxious to know
whether cats like flowers or not, and
any woman suffering from ennul might
easily divert herself by making such
investigations as would satisfy the
curiosity of the gentleman.
