A WOMAN'S MEMORY.
The Bbstoh Trariscript says :— A woman will go on a shopping tour in queet'of a score of dissimilar articles. The ribbon must be ten and a-half inches long and half a finger wide; the carpet must bo like Mrs. Spriggins', only: that she wants hers brown where Mrs. Spriggins' ia green ; the first knot in tlie string she carries in her pocket is the width of the window curtain; the second knot the length of Susie's skirt;. the •Mih'd knot of the picture cord, and the si-hole string the distance around the centre table. Besides these she has buttons to buy, cotton to select, silk to match and heaven knows, what not; and she will come home at night without having inade a single blunder, and with a full satchel and an empty pocket-book, and • express packages will be arriving for a week to come. But the strangest part of this strange, eventful story-is that she can also tell you off-hand the co3tume.of every lady she saw durjug the tour, either on the street or in any of the numerous shops visited. Can a man do that? ■ ■ . . : : ■ .'. ... ■. . ; -'
