Some one had told him that women were much more honest than men. Perhaps they are, but men only fall when they are tempted. Like Men, Only Wo: And, according to Pipkin, women are just as human as the men, only worse. But the defense of the women will be that no such tempter as Pipkin has appeared on this earth in some time. Pipkin being a “ladies' outfitter,” had everything that woman loves, And It was all displayed in profusion while the polite proprietor suavely murmured: “Select what you please, ladies. Pay when you please.” ‘The “ladies” followed both bits of ad- vice.
