THE WIT OF WOMEN

by

KATE SANBORN

* * * * *

"The Wit of Women," by Miss Kate Sanborn, [Funk &
Wagnalls,] proves that the authoress is one of those
rare women who are gifted with a sense of humor.
Fortunately for her, the female sense of humor, when it
does exist, is not affected by such trifles as
"chestnuts." Therefore, women will read with pleasure
Miss Sanborn's choice collection of these dainties.
There are, however, many new anecdotes in Miss
Sanborn's collection, and, taken as a whole, it may
fairly be said to establish the fact that there have
been feminine wits not inferior to the best of the
opposite sex.

Fourth Edition

New York
Funk & Wagnalls Company
London and Toronto
1895

Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year 1885, by
Funk & Wagnalls,
In the Office of the Librarian of Congress at Washington, D.C.

Miss Addie Boyd, of the Cincinnati "Commercial," and
Miss Anna M.T. Rossiter, alias Lilla M. Cushman, of the
Meriden "Recorder," will probably represent the gentler
sex in the convention of paragraphers which meets next
month. They are a pair o' graphic writers and equal to
the best in the profession.--Waterloo Observer.
