A Woman Hater.

(Copyright, IMS, by American Press Asso
ciation.]
▲ crusty old bachelor told me this.
He ought to be ashamed of himself:
“Dear," said youug Mrs. Herkimer,
“what did you mean by saying to
Tom Fowler that you are a woman
hater? He’ll tell his wife, and it will
Set all over town.”
“Well, sweetheart, it doesn’t matter
to you. so long as I don’t hate you.”
"Yes, it does. Every woman wishes
her husband to be liked by other wom
en. Of course your saying such a
thing will make you dreadfully un
popular.”
“It can't be helped now. The deed
la done. Fowler, I know, is a dread
ful gossip. I suppose I’ll soon get cut
right and left.”
“Indeed you will. And what will
people think of me? They will nat
urally infer that you have derived
your bad opinion of our sex from me.”
“I shall continue to show them by
my treatment of you that you are the
only one of the lot I love.”
The next evening Mr. and Mrs. Bob
Herkimer went to Mrs. Ellis’ recep
tion. When they returned and were
preparing for rest Mra. Herkimer, do
lus her hair, said:
“Bob, I was standing among a group
tonight when you passed with Gertrude
Lee. A woman near me, not knowing
1 was your wife, said:
“There goes that horrid Herkimer.
He avows hlntseif a woman hater. He
should be read out of society.”
“The lady's age?” asked Herkimer
Imperturbably.
“About fifty.“
“Married or single?”
“Single.”

“Name, please.”
“Miss Busan Jones.”
“Mias Jones doesn’t count with me.
She la aggressive, ambitious and, above
all, very smart.”
“That’s the worst of it She will ssy
iota of bright things against you.”
“Well, dear, I’ll have to endure it
Good night. I’m tired and sleepy.”
The Herkimer* were “out” a good
deal, and Mra. Herkimer was much
troubled about an evident change in
her husband's position. Several wom
en whom he had known gave him the
cut direct, while others spoke to him
when they met him very coolly.
“You see,” said hla wife, “the folly
of your indiscretion.”
“I have not yet been cut by any wo
man whose opinion I value. Most of
them are old maids, and none of them

“You’ll find plenty of them in time."
“Very well, sweetheart; since you
are so distressed about it I’ll see what
I can do to get myself liked again.”
“Will you attempt to placate the wo
men you have mentioned?”
“By no means. I shall attempt to
overbalance their opinion by making
friends with the most attractive.”
Mrs. Herkimer manta lned a profound

said:

An Englishwoman who confesses to
a mild mania for attending the street
fairs common in and around Parts
says that she is always Impressed by
the extraordinary number of bearded
ladies among the attractions.
“I was inclined to think that they
were fakes,” she says In the London

that they were quite genuine my sur
prise at this wonderful supply of
phenomena grew stronger. And when
a few days ago I saw at the fair In

with a long Hewing beard I could no

“I applied for Information to a gen
