HABITS OF DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE SEXES.
When a woman becomes flnrried she feslß for a fan ; when a man becomes flurried he feels for a cigar. Women jump at conclusions and generally hit; men reason things out logically and generally miss. A women never sees a l>aby without 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 woman always carries her purse in her hand, so that every woman may see it; a man carries his inside his pocket, so that his wife won't see it.
When a woman wants to repair damages she uses a pin ; when a man wants to repair damages he spends two hours 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 hand and heart and says ' ITo,' she don't always mean it; when a man is asked by a jovial friend if he will take something and says ' No,' ha don't always mean it either.—Traveller.
