nico," and as good for the health and spirits Of
women as going to New York for goods or
taking a business trip around by the watering
places. This thing Of a woman staying AZ
home from one years end TO anothcr-growing
rusty and musty and crusty--is no longer con-
sidered duty savc from necessity. II is right
she should gain fresh life and new energy
by an outing once In while, even IL II Ii
expensive and the house Is turned topsy -turvy.
II Is true women have little money to spend;

when they hold a meeting they don't dream Of
winding up with even dollar-a-piece supper,

| the progress Of game Of croquete, and WIS
utterly unable to rise till two gentlemen lifted
her up bodily and stood her on end like .

A Vassar College girl, accidentally stepping
oh piece of banana peel, slid yard or two,
then violently sat down upon it. Gathering
herself up she family exclaimed "Am / .

Don't be foolish with that girl, Tom; you
know lovo Is blind"-said o cautious parent
Nonsense" said superior Ton-"Love is not
blind; why, | see ten times as much in that

Forget to remove the pitcher Of cream from
the kitchen table, and several hundred hica
