One of the most striking charaoterisfcios of woman is her cheerful perseverance m looking under the bed for a man. No man m his senses ever looks undei* the bed for a woman, but there are millions of women m this country who would .find it quite im.possible to sleep, m,.- *Ny bed under which they had not previously searched for a concealed man. Experience is lost upon them. The average unmarried woman?.of forty years of age has usually looked under the bed at least 7,500 times, without ever once finding the expected manj but she is not m the least discouraged by so long a course of failure ; and it would be easy to find women of eighty or ninety years who still nightly search for the man whom they had never found.
