The Girl’s Handicap.

In her pretty new frock sister Mabel felt quite proud as she sat on the front step and watched some boys playing on the sidewalk. After a time one little boy came up to talk to her and to admire, in his rough little —way, her bright shiny shoes and pink sash. “See my nice square-cut waist,” exclaimed the girlie, “and my nice coral beads! Don’t you wish you wuz a girl?” “No sir-ee,” replied the boy. "1 wouldn’t want to be any girl at all, because lookie how much more neck you has jto wash.”
