The little piece which called my attention to it was at the foot of a column in yesterday's Daily Press, which, apparently quoting Cantle concluded as follows: Why did a woman scream when she saw a rat? Because she knew it carried disease.** Rats thought everybody knew the lady's motive for standing on s chair and squealing at the appearance of a mouse. House, not rat. Men see rata, but not ladies. It is because women understand men so thorough- ly. He is neglectful, probably sitting in the next room reading the China Mail, or sorting his stamps, when he ought to be paying her attentions. The mouse is her benefactor. If it was a lion she would probably attack it herself, knowing the man to be less brave than the. But she also knows. that he likes to pose as her brave protector, and that he is not mach afraid of mice. His lordly scorn of her fright will give him pleasure, incline. him to gallantry, and (of course) he will also have his attention. drawn to her trim ankles as she stands- on the chair.
