The Female of
By JAMES CLARK XCK HARVEY.
As we read the -Reno records. In a sympathetic way.
Wondering who has ceased to cherish and to honor and obey.
What a joke It Is on husbands who must pay or go to Jail
When the female of the species wants remittances by mall!
How a wife must feel when idly glancing hubby's check stubs o'er,
Eeelng "Alimony" entries, one two three and sometimes four!
Then, when he comes home that evening, she's a sight to make men quail.
Cause? Those females species had .remittances by mail.
Some of them, no doubt, were married Just; to shake off single life.
And without the least Intention to become a loving wife.
But, on such a slight foundation, wedlock simply has to fall.
Then the female of the species wants remittances by mail.
Opera Couffe Is Terr charming when it plays dear old Broadway,
With a wealth of silk and satin, and a burst of colors gay.
But from Painted Post, Montana, Is a long, long walk by rail.

Ladies go to Paris shopping with the wherewithal to shop.
Take a run to Monte Carlo, and at Monte Carlo stop.
For beside those tempting tobies feminlnitlr must fall.
Then the female of the species wants remittances by mail
Wlfey tries Atlantic City when her nerves have had a jar.
She gets well. And, more s the pity, stays too long and goes too far.
