Well, that newspaper ought to begin again. Of course, I do not refer to gossip  I refer to machines  and if I did I might better include the men. That newspaper could never appear if women had not invented something. WELL THAT NEWSPAPER OUGHT TO BEGIN AGAIN OF COURSE I DO NOT REFER TO GOSSIP I REFER TO MACHINES AND IF I MIGHT BETTER INCLUDE THE MEN THAT NEWSPAPER COULD NEVER APPEAR IF A WOMAN HAD NOT INVENTED SOMETHING
u can find anywhere now. It was first a collar-button with a spring cap attached to the outer side. Any of you who wear modern waterproofs know the button that simply pushes together, and when you unbutton it you simply pull it apart. That is the button to which I refer, and which she invented. She afterward invented several other buttons, and then invested in more, and then was taken into partnership with great factories. Now that woman goes over the sea every summer in her private steamship--yes, and takes her husband with her! If her husband were to die, she would have money enough left now to buy a foreign duke or count or some such title as that at the latest quotations. Now what is my lesson in that incident? It is this: I told her then, though I did not know her, what I now say to you, “Your wealth is too near to you. You are looking right over it”; and she had to look over it because it was right under her chin. I have read in the newspaper that a woman never invented anything. HE SNAP BUTTON WHICH YOU CAN FIND ANYWHERE NOW IT WAS FIRST A COLLAR BUTTON WITH A SPRING CAP ATTACHED TO THE OUTER SIDE ANY OF YOU WHO WEAR MODERN WATERPROOPS KNOW THAT BUTTON SIMPLY PUSS TOGETHER AND WHEN YOU UNBUTTON IT YOU SIMPLY PULL IT APART THAT IS THE BUTTON TO WHICH I REFER AND WHICH SHE INVENTED SHE AFTERWARD INVENTED SEVERAL OTHER BUTTONS AND THEN INVESTED IT MORE AND THEN SHE WAS TAKEN INTO PARTNERSHIP WITH GREAT FACTORIES NOW THAT WOMAN GOES OVER THE SEA EVERY SUMMER IN HER PRIVATE STEAMSHIP YES AND TAKES HER HUSBAND WITH HER IF HER HUSBAND WERE TO DIE SHE WOULD HAVE ENOUGH MONEY LEFT NOW TO BUY A FOREIGN DUKE OR COUNT OR SOME OTHER SUCH TITLE THAT IS AT THE LATEST QUOTATIONS NOW WHAT SORT OF LESSON IN THAT INCIDENT IT IS THIS I TOLD HER THEN THOUGH I DID NOT KNOW HER WHAT I NOW SAY TO YOU YOUR WEALTH IS SO NEAR YOU YOU ARE LOOKING RIGHT OVER IT AND SHE HAD TO LOOK OVER IT BECAUSE IT WAS RIGHT UNDER HER CHIN I HAVE READ IN THE NEWSPAPER THAT A WOMAN NEVER INVENTED ANYTHING
