WOMAN AGAINST WOMAN.

"I love to hear her talk.” "Her generosity is unbounded,” said a third. "Do you not admire her?” The woman to whom this quest ion was addressed, tossed her head and contemptuously replied: "I do not know her. She powders, and as I make it a rule never to speak to a woman who does that, I have|no opportunity for observing these remarkable traits over which you seem so enthusiastic.” A silence fell.
