Your heart will tthrob with rapture you'll hear the

The Difference Between the Two.
THINK that, after all, the occasional
little unpleasantnesses of temper in which
very amiable women sometimes indulge,
is not harder to bear than the same sort of
thing as thrown off at times by men. Wo-
men say q good deal more, know. But a
whole chapter of feeble, feminine grumb-
ing hasn't one grain of the strength and
peculiar flavor that a thoroughly angry
man can throw into his half-a-dozen words
Of, vigorous. .objurgation. And it doesn't
hurt dalf SO bad, either. Feminine re-
proAches are no more than the patter of
the rain on the roof compared to the mas
culine whirlwind of temporary indigna-
tion. I know it is very temporary
know there isn't one man in a thousand
who can get mad and stay mad. It's snap
you up and snap your head of-and all
over in five minutes! | mean in regard to
things that women will feel bitter over
for days and days together.
On-the other hand, men are less thought
full about small things than women are,
and therefore are more apt to be unjust;
and they are terribly, though temporarily,
unjust very often. And they have such
an aggravating way of rapping out such
strong, knock-doWn statements of their
opinions-in which what seems to them
to be the truth is always rigidly adhered
to-without the least regard to anybody's
feelings. To women who are accustomed
to mince matters, this is horrible pro-
ceeding. And one or two strong, impa-
tient, and unjust remarks of this sort, from
some man whom they love, and from
whom they are accustomed to receive
nothing but petting, makes them feel as if
they were being skinned alive, and as if a
good part of the flesh were coming away
with the skim.
Then they begin to realize that men can
be " horribly rough" believe woman
never suspects the existence of this very
masculine popularity in her brother, lover
or husband, till some one of the many lit
tie emergencies of everyday life brings it
out with jerk. 1t is said that men reason
and that women feel. But there are
thousand matters in which men don't
reason at all, but act on the first impulse
that sways them. I know that I have
noticed that they are usually infinitely
more impatient under bodily suffering,
even when slight, than women are. Per
haps it's because they have less of it, and
so donot quite get the hang of the thing.
But l have seen man 60 around as cross
as bear with sore head for a whole
morning, and could not possibly imagine
what made him so unjust and snappish
hou =, to
gether, that he was suffering from new boots
or theremnants of last nights champagne,
which had brewed headache for him
Now, wild horses cannot drag from him
q confession of any physical pain. He
will never think of smiling, gently and
sadly,s and of. saying in a deprecating
manner, "Mydear, believe have head
ache.p No! He doesn't want to own it,
and he doesn't reason about it. He only
feels dimly, away down in the depths of
his consciousness, that he is little under
the weather; but he doesn't want to think
about, or be reminded of it, and if you
talksto him about it you will make him
mad ~
| advise you, also, not to put too much
faith in petting half-sick man, if you are
woman. Men know how to treat each
other at such times better than women do.
They simply take no notice of the human
bear with a sore head. That's the best
thing for him. Here and there, rare ex-
ception, they'l.let some woman (or child
more likely whom they love peculiarly,
cuddle them and coax them. But gener-
ally they'll snap at whoever tries to come
that game over them. You must wait till
the fit is over; and in the meantime, make
yourself as unobtrusive as possible-but
not in an obtrusive kind of way. He
will understand from your.yoice and your
eyes and your movements whether you
feel kindly for him or not, though you say
not one word on the subject.
WOW, how different is woman when
she isn't quite herself?p She wants YOU
to sit by her and stroke her forehead and
hold her hand. It makes her feel ever
so much better, and she cannot endure

think it takes man to be unjust in
little. matters, but his anger passes quickly,
while women are slow to forget. The
reason sis obvious A mans mind and
time are usually entirely occupied, and
this conduces immensely to the extinction
of bitter feelings. He hasn't time to
brood over cross words and cold looks
and sights. Something inconveniences
him temporarily, and he raps out big
word and doubles up his fist, but the nexi
minute you hear him singing or whistling
away cheerily.
Men do not let women usually see how

happen to be with their own women folks
