Show MAN TAKES SECOND PLACE Many Ways In Which He lo Inferior to tho Partner of His Joys and Sorrows. A man can't do two things at a tlmo. A woman will broil a steak and see that tho coffeo does not boll over, and watch that tho cat-docs not stoal tho remnant of the meat on tho kitchen table, and dress tho youngest boy, and set tho tablo, and see to the toast', and stir tho oatmeal, and give tho ordors to tho butcher, and she can do it all at onco, and not half try. V' Man has dono wonders since ho cams bofore tho public. Ho has navt-gatod navt-gatod the ocean, ho has penetrated tho mysteries of tho starry heavens, ho has harnessed tho lightning, and mado it light tho great cities of tho world. Hut ho can't find a reol of thread In his wlfo's workbasket; ho can't dls-covor dls-covor hor pocket In a dress hanging In tho closet; ho cannot hang out clothes and get them on tho lino tho right end up. Ho cannot hold -clothcspogs Invito' mouth whllo ho la doing It, either. Ho cannot bo polite to somebody ho hates. Ho cannot sow on a button. In short, ho cannot do a hundred things that women do almost lnstfnctlvcly. |
