CAREFFULLY DELIBERATE.

Mow tlu Average Woman Pays Her street Car Fare. Nothing can be more delightful than the careful deliberateness with which the average woman conducts the monetary transaction between herself and the street-car conductor, says the New York Sun’s "Woman About Town.” Here is a typical case, which was watched by half a dozen amused passengers on a Sixth avenue car a day or two ago: A woman with the small leather bag that always accompanies a woman shopper seated herself in the car. When the conductor entered for his fare she opened her bag, took out her purse, shut the bag, opened the purse, took 10 cents therefrom, then shut the purse, opened the bag, put the purse in it, and closed the bag. By this time the conductor bad given her her change, and once more she opened the bag; took out the purse, closed the bag, opened the uurse, dropped the nickel therein, closed the purse, opened the bag, laid the purse carefully in. and closed the bag, while the intent look faded from her faoe, and she leaned back with the happy look of one of whom the world could taped nothing further.
