He was a peculiar man. lie was poll

able and tidy. He was nice appearing
snd good looking. but the way he spoke,

pressed himself and something In his
face led me to be suspicious.
lie resumed the conversation by asking

Putting his arm over my shoulders he
complimented me about being stout, but
his real object In doing this was to feel

done this. he artfufly managed to feel
OF my hip pockets
Seemingly satisfied with his investlga-

HER MAJESTY INTO HER OWN
Despite Any Question as Z
Womanis Age, This Surely IL
Woman's Age.

Woman's Age.
1t may be difficult to tell what is a
womsn's age, observes the Philadelphia
Record, but unquestionably this is 1t.
Mems colleges. into which women have
made their way, have to drive them out
again in order to give the men a chance
at graduation honors. From the pulpit
and the bar down to the coal mine and
the iron furnace women are doing what
used to be regarded as mans work. The
literature Of the day is overwhelmingly
feminist in its character. and very much
OF 1t is the work Of women. Men are being
told things about women that 1t was not
deemed proper for their fathers to know.
and as for themselves. they are being
shown up without remorse.
Within a few days illustrations of the
feminist revolution, physically and in
teilectually, have become public. Man is
destined to lose even his physical superb
ority. The superintendent Of a hospital
In Boston, where three thousand babies
are born annually. says: We have no.
ticed that girl babies are getting taller
and that they are appearing in this
world lately with more real vitality
than formerly. The boy babies continue
on the average, both in weight and
height"
