The " New Woman."
» An amusing story of the "New . Woman " comes from the North of Scotland. , One day recently she cut a sorry figure at a shooting party where she appeared clad in the sporting outfit hitherto monopolished by the sterner sex. Although she expended a considerable number^, of cartridges, she did not succeed in bringing down a single bird. ' The gamekeeper, after the return of the party expressed himself a3 foI|QWS regarding the lady's performance :— " She apit the gentlemen a' that she cud. She wore the Baine claes, she smoked, drank a nip o' whuskay, ay, an' once gied a bit swear laich in ; bit as for shutin', she couldna hit a barndoor at ten yairds, and., she never ance said ' thank ye' ta maself. If only mair o her kind come aboot I'll throw up ma job."
