. I- ITAL J A A iliargmn? WAS aptly pushed aside as if I w-ere but an indolent fly to be 3 -E brushed off a cake Turning a l1v1d purple I faced my tor E E mentor She loomed up before me like the mountain that ? E came to Mahomet She was a solid reality No matter how . 0 you Jostled or attempted to mov-e, you were he-mmed in on all S1Cl6!S, like Caesar. At this moment, while I was taking stock of the two-hundred odd pounds of avoirdupois surrounding me, a raucous voice demanded, A pair of silk -stockin s! She would have made an admirable auctioneer. . . N o sooner had her booming voice receded, than a fat dimpled arm pre- c1p.1tated itself directly in front of my nose and snatched at a pair o-f sand- colored -stockings which I was clasping tightly to my breast. It had come at last! 'Ilhey were dcirs-covered-the only pair of pretty gi-o-se that heterogene-ous display! But I closed my eyes an-d held on for ear 1 e. The elephantine wo-man took a step backward, gathered strength, and made su-ch a furious onslaught that I was flattened pa-infully against the counter. But I matched my resistance with hers and finally won out. Then I turned haughtily, and directed a glassy stare at my offender. But alas! She was Watching, hawkily, another innocent sho-pper like myself. I drew a long breath, only to end it with a horrified ga.sp. Who was wearing that reeking apology for perfume? The lady to my right looked guilty-but no, it came more from behind me. I felt dizzy with the stench. It drugged my senses until I thought I should faint. Suddenly I knew! My Amazon was -mloving ponderously about, endeavoring to reach the counter. I might have known! She murmured thickly lin my ear, Dearie, d'ya mind handin' me them socks? I paid no attention, for the spinster lady on my left obstinately refused to give m-e rolom to place my left foot flat upon the floor. I became, suddenly, frantic, and lifting my foot as high as possible in such cramped quarters, I brought fit down with uncanny accuracy upon the pedal extrem- ity of Miss Spin-ster. She uttered a death-like wail and melted out of sight. The crowd was now three deep aroun-d the Reduced Ho-siery Counter. On my right was a ploor ol-d man, relating in a pathetic vo-ice the reason why he was there-to which no one listened. At last! The salesgirl, 'looking at me with sympathetic eyes, asked, May I ,help you ? I looked surreptitiously about, then, putting my hand into my po-cket, I feverishly drew forth the sand-colored hose. These I gasped, Qui-ck! She nodded, and tied them up for me. Exultant, I turned, and swiftly and silently elbowed my way out of the mo-b of bar- barian bargain-hunters.

xi -i s woman 5 Qughin - - - AN S power-man s rights-it 1S to laugh' Find me the woman Ei E-5 5 in this vale of tears who cannot twist some man around her gg E5 5 little finger - She may be weak but her very weakness 1S a egg 5 weapon. She may be slightly' mentally deficient 1n a frilly, ------- -' fluttery way, but that is not a defect, it is an asset. This type vanquishes the foe by flattery. She is the clingingvine to whom the male thinks he 'must explain everything, and so air his vast knowledge. The .secrets of the powers of the daughters of Eden are age- long, apparent, but still undis-coveredby the wily Adam. Why should Woman worry over her rights when most everything man does is actu- ated by some woman, wife, sweetheart, or the woman's vote? Why should she agitate about how much law or convention allows her, when she may snap her fingers and-presto! He will rush the football a hundred yards 3 he will defy all the boss politicians, he will dance an endless marathon 3 he will lay a thousand bricks, all for the whim of a maid. However, there are some women who do not have such power over men-the women who were the intelligent, be-.spectacle-d, fine, big, healthy girls in their short and dance-less youth. They develop into women of intellect, who write magazine articles about th-eir rights. They labor with all the might of their marvelous brains to overshadow man's efforts and accomplishments. Woman could lubricate the wheels of the world as well as man, but why should she bother with the dirty work? The intelli- gent woman with a sense of humor will sit back calmly holding the reins while man struggles in the harness for the smallest piece of sugar.

An insignificant banking of worldly snow in spasmodic ' ' jumps, apologetically accompanies the prim path 5 then, a sud- den ending of everything in a black velvet curtain. Suspended overall like .a descending -doom is the fiery redness of a trafiic light, that, .glowing through the branches, throws a softening cover of magnificent design over the hardness of concrete and ice. Modestly withdrawing into the back- ground multi-shaped bulks dimly squat: one reminiscent with the gleam of dying fire-light, another bold with the brazennes-s of unshaded lamps, a thir-d winking jovially under uneven shades, the plotter glancing slyly through mere slits at all who pass, and .she who candidly Open-S her SWS wide for all to see the workings of her heart. Struggling to appear again to the adoring eye of man, destitute without her, may be seen thehazy 'form of the moon. In through the forest of shadow and llght strolls his lmajesty, king of the niight. His black coat shining with heavy mist, he investigates each sodden bit of paper in his path. . It seems as if it always has been and always will be thus, but tomor- row the sun will be shining, and the sable clad roamer merely an alley cat.
