"All Noddin'."—The Western Daily Mercury records that the New Woman has broken out in a new place—as A Lady Auctioneer. Woman at all times has known how to go it hammer and tongs. Advanced Femininity drops the tongs, but sticks to the hammer. Formerly man was often gone on fair woman—rather expected of him. The lady now prefers to do the "Going, going, gone," herself. Awful vistas opened up. Will a wink be as good as a nod to the Lady Auctioneer? Will "dinner eyes" have to yield to "auction winks"? A for-bidding prospect.
A DOUBTFUL "STAYER."
L-bby. "YOU AIN'T GOT MUCH OF A MOUNT, GUV'NOR!"
R-s-b-ry. "P'R'APS NOT,—BUT I'LL RIDE HIM FOR ALL HE'S WORTH!"
