WHAT ‘SHE' CAN DO.
She can come to a conlusion without the slightest trouble of reasoning on it; and no sane man can do that. Six of them can talk at once and get along first rate ; and no two men can do that.
She can safely stick fifty pins in her dress while he is getting one under his thumb nail.
She is as cool as a cucumber in half a dozen tight dresses and skirts ; while a man will sweat and fume and growl in one loose shirt.
She can talk as sweet as peaches and cream to the woman she hates ; while two men would be punching each other’s heads before they had exchanged ten words. She can say * no ’ in such a low voice that it means * yes.’ She can sharpen a lead pencil if you give her plenty of time and plenty of pencils. She can dance all night in a pair of shoes two sizes too small for her, and enjoy every minute of the time.
