Saya shc: "If -w ooily had pockets- jutft two Or three - there liever would have been all ïhis fuss about woman's rights, cmancipatiom and the reet of it; but wlien wonien girow up, live their Uves and üie with their mouchoirs stuck in the front oí their gowns and compelled to carry their purses in their hands, and every mother's son on eaa-th has trom fiftcen to tweaty pockete, its no .wonder that eome of the bulder spirits amons us rise up and demand a fair división of the good thiugs of Ufe.

But if slie only had a pocket Bhe could lasten the key to a chain, hitcli one end of it to a button, drop the other in a place of eafety iind be liappy. Other than ior this, woman ïieed aiever coinplain. No one can have rights and privileges too, and what woman would not rather have privileges ?
