CHOOSING A PAIR OF BOOTS.

When a woman has a new pair of shoes sent home she behaves altogether differently from a man. She never shoves her toes into them, and pulls and hauls until she is red in the face aud all out of breath, and then goes stamping and kicking about, but pulls them on part way carefully, twitches them off again to take a last look and see if she has got the right one, pulls them on again, looks at them dreamin»ly, says they are just right, then takes another look, stops suddenly to smooth out a wrinkle, twists round and surveys them sideways, exclaims, " Mercy, how loose they are! " looks at them again squ-ire in front, works her feet round so that they won't hurt her quite so much, takes them off, looks at the heel, the toe, the bottom and the inside, puts them on again, walks up and down the room once or twice, remarks to her better half that she won't have them at any price, tilts down the mirror so she can see how they look from that way, backs off, steps up again, takes thirty or forty farewell looks, says they make her feet look dreadful b'g and will never do in the world, puts them off and on three or four times more, asks her husband what he thinks about it and pays no attention to what he says, goes through it all again, and finally says she will take them. It is a very Bimple matter indeed
