Why Are Women So Quick
To Find ON Insult IN Everything

Women also show a diabolical in

The great foe to all women's or
CARNATIONS has been this talent that
women have for taking offense where
none was intended, and when anything
was said that they could possibly con-
strue into any sort of criticism on
themselves, their families or their
housekeeping, getting up and taking
their doll rags and going home.
Happily, this is not as bad as it used
to be, and the great mission of the wo-

By DOROTHY DIX.

Why do women take offense so
much more easily than men? There
is no use, my sisters, in raising an in
dignant howl of protest and saying
that they don't. We all know that
they do and that every woman bristles
with feelings as porcupine does with
quilts.
You cannot deal with a woman as
you can with man; you cannot talk
to woman as you can to a man, and
on your life you dare not tell a
woman the truth as you would man.
She always has to be handled with
kid gloves, because, as the homely
old phrase goes, she takes offense
where none was intended.
The most curious and abnormal IL
lustration of this is to be found in the
fact that if you tell a woman that
something is wrong with her costume,
ninety-ni times out of hundred
she sees deadly insult in your kindly
meant attention and gives you a bale
full glare that teaches you to let all
future women 60 around with their
packets gaping or their shirt waists
unbuttoned if they happen that way.
