The Women Of Our Time.
And is not that old Mrs . Growlerby \ She is one of those dreadful old women who loiow everything about everybody , and is always in the wrong . Old Jorum whispers to me : " That old gal is lying ! " She is emp hatically a bore , and is generally
alike vulgar ancl ill-bred ; excessively insolent to her inferiors , but an inveterate toady of her superiors . Avoid her , my boy , if you meet her . And what her mission can be—except , like some of the noxious animals of the lower creation , a
counterpoise to others—I do not pretend to understand or explain . Ancl , then we all know fat but unaimable Mrs . AVimperley . She is a woman with a grievance ancl a morbid mind . She can't even say a good word for that pleasant
young married woman , Mrs . De Visme , or that laughing maiden , Annie Vane . No , she never leaves anybody alone , and never has a kind' word for anybody . She bullies her maid , bullies her relations , who are afraid of her ; she bullies her doctor , andshe is a fat , malicious , malignant old
woman . Theu there is our poor old friend Mrs . Grinkle . Always wrong , always "in the basket , " always saying the wrong word , always doing the wrong thing ; the' most " bete " ancl " foria 6 " of old women ; perhaps not wishing to do harm , but as
stupid useless slug , without principle and without utility , as far as you ancl I can see , in the great battle or life . Why here is Mrs . Milligan !
