At a meeting of American lady politicians a lady of Salem, Oregon, proposed the toast of “The Gentlemen’’ in these words: “Bless ’em ! They halve our joys, they double our sorrows, they treble our expenses, they quadruple our cares, they excite our magnanimity, they increase our self-respect, awaken our enthusiasm, arouse our affections, control our property, and outmanoeuvre us in everything. This would be a dreary world without them.”
