The Embroiderer. An example of the errors, nature sometimes makes in labeling the sexes. Just as one sees the would-be women who wear pants, some kind of a moustache, who play a cornet or the bass-viol, or who compose humanitarian novels, in the same way one finds men who play the harp, hemstitch neckerchiefs, do embroidering with their hands, and, who in a case of emergency know how to do a little cooking, plate 2 from Monomanes
