Women as Wooers.

Should women do the wooing? To be «ure! But how is man to know how charming she really is? inquires an exchange. Men do the winning and wedding, but the girl who wants to be won ■and wed does the wooing every time. A man is putty, wax, clay in her hands. Nature deals her one card, art another, the modiste a third, fashion a fourth, and if she plays her trump first the game Is hers. One of the winning cards is a white dress; a glib tongue is another power; affability and amiability are right and left bowers, and the girl who can keep still and smile without grinning cen bag the wariest game. Among the funniests birds known are the “umbrella bird,” which has a crest like an umbrella, and the “bell bird,” which has a voice like the tolling of a bell.
