A young lady showed us this week

so small as to be almost invisible to
the naked eye.
J f. FI. Beers who has been

Wiry Women Envy Men.
There are just three things,” says
the San Francisco Report, u for
which a woman envies a man. The
first is a secret not to be told, the
second is the ability and power to go
out whenever he feels like it at night,
and the third is his being able to get
along without rain-soaked petticoats
slapping against his heels. A man’s
legs always look so comfortable in
wet weather. He puts on heavy
shoes, thick socks, turns up his trous¬
ers and strikes oat. A woman on
her miserable clothed supporters,
has thin stockings,tight boors,and good
for-nothing sandals. Many female
seese even cling to white skirts
O
which are just so much paper in the
rain. Then out she goes. In half a
block the backs of her legs'from heels
to knees are saturated. Her skirts
are in uddy and draggled, and her
temper is ruffled and cut bias. If
she chance to step, as often she does,
into a puddle, her thoughts, if not
her language, grow smoky. * * *
“If we could only wear the literal
as well as the figurative trousers, es
pecialiy on rainy days, we migt keep
as sweet-tempered as the opposite j
sex are flatteringly supposed to.”
