ECCENTRIC WOMEN.

ONE who will run past a millinery shop window. C>ne who doesn't think her child the sweetest in the world. Who doesn't sit up for her husband when he goes out to the club. Who thinks more about the sermon than she does about bonnets in the next seat ahead. Whose preacher and doctor are not better than anyone else s. . Who doesn't think she is the only woman in .he world who is misunderstood. Who keeps a cook live years without giving her the whole house. Who wouldn't rather go to an Italian opera, where she doesn’t understand a word or a note, than hear the same thing sung in English. Who doesn't lay her illness to the chicken-pie rather than the ice cream. Who thinks her son's wife is as good as her own daughter. Who doesn't spend less money in a week than her husband does in a day, and stand more hard luck without complaining than he ever dreamed of. A Broken Window. —lt was just after a severe hailstorm, and Mr Bloomburger was estimating the damage done to his windows. ‘ Not a very light atiair, said a bystander. * No, returned Mr Bloomburger ; ‘ I thought it a putty hard storm. Twas yxineful to see the hailstones shoot through the windows.’ ‘ Oughter shutter up, said one. ‘ Twas a blinding storm,’ said another. * And such ictW-oh,’ said a pretty girl with a red sash. Then they all moved on, leaving Mr Bloombuiger in an unpleasant frame of mind.
