Woman's Curiosity.

The worst OF women is that they
are always wanting to see what will
happen if they do certain things. They
make man angry just to see what he-
looks like when he is angry; and they

he looks like when he is miserable;
and they never realize how much gra-
tuitous suffering all this entails upon
