JUST LIKE A MAN. 'Oh, George, dear, I have a, little favour I'd like to ask before you go down town, this morning,' said, Mrs Jooks the other morning. 'Well, what is it?'. 'I wish that you would just help Lizzie to move the piano out of the sitting room arid help her to get those big bookcases and - that greatheavy couch out of the room. I want the couch carried out into the yard, where it can be thoroughly beaten. And then if you'll just help get the carpet up and out on the line arid help Susan beat and shake it, and help her take down those/large pictures on the sitting room wall and carry them out so that the Sust can all be brushed off the back and—well, if he hasn'.t gone! That's just like a man! Ask him to do'any little thing about the house and he's off in a moment. 1 never saw anything like it!'
