HABITS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES.
When a woman becomes flurried she feels for a fan ; when a man becomes flurried ho feels for a cigar. Women jump at conclusions and generally hit; men reason things out logically and generally miss it. Women always show by their actions that they enjoy going to church ; men are less demonstrative. Some women can't pass a millinery store without looking in ; men can't pass a galloon without going in. A woman never sees a baby withont wanting to run to it; a man never sees a baby without wanting to run from it. Women love admiration, approbation, adulation, self-immolation on the part of others, and are often vain and frivolous. Ditto men. A women always carries her purse in her hand, so that other women will see it; a, man carries his inside his pocket, so that his wife won't see it. A man of fashion hates the rain because it deranges the set of his pantaloons ; a woman of fashion hates it because it deranges her complexion. When a woman wants to repair damages sho uses a pin ; when a woman wants to repair damages sho uses a pin ; when a man wants to repair damages lie spends two hour* and a half trying to thread a needle. A woman can sit in a theatre for three hours without getting at all cramped up, catching the toothache, or becoming faint for want of fresh air ; a man can't. When a woman is asked by a fond lover for her heart and hand and says "No," she don't always mean it; when a man is asked by a jovial friend if he will take something and says " No " he don't always men it cither.—Traveller.
