- NOR is the rarest of qualities in women"
and John Boyle O'Reilly said, a am sorry

have declared that women have no sense of
humor.
Wit excites in the mind an agreeable sur

feeling, and therefore sympathetic,

The following specimens of wit and humor
by and about women might be multiplied
indefinitely:

But needn't make such an awful fuss

HELEN, Rufus Choate's brilliant daugh-

credit by Emerson:
"To woman, the consciousness of being
well dressed gives sense of tranquility
which religion fails to bestow"
