THE man who doesn't see to ii at once
that the front gate is softly upholstered

IF it be true that one man in twenty
five is color blind, the cause of great
many heart-burnings and alleged prac-
teal Jokes has been discovered. There
is a color-blind lover who said to his

and yellow eyes" He was merely color
blind.-NclO York Herald.
The tambourine dance consists of

white ones for the gentlemen. At agiven
signal the knots are pulled, the tam

WDowERs very seldom board. They
know better. Married men do it to
please their wives. 1t saves the poor
things the cares of a house. And be-
sides, they can have as much company
as they want, free of expense. There
are good many charming widows in
boarding houses; they are generally
very attentive to the Benedicts they
meet; they know just what they like,

"Don't you feel as if you were periling
your beauty by talking so much?"
"Why so, John ?" she asked with some
surprise. because, precious, this is
summer time, and you might get your
tongue sunburnt. "--Brooklyn Eagle.
1t is said that man can always tell a
sensible woman bv the heel of her boot
There is the high heel, hooked in under
the instcp, which indicates giddiness,
bad taste, and n want of culture; then
there is the medium heel, which indi-
Gates n desire for fashion, yet an ohiec-
ton to excess; then there is the lady-like
small he. slightly curved, not quite az
low as the heel of mans boot, but yet
low enough, and placed in the proper
position for comfort; that indicates good
breeding, good sense and delicacy.
Young men should know this and Judge
accordingly.
DIFFERENCES in families united by
marriage are mostly on the side of the
women. Woman fails in tact to pre-
serve the amenities of the hearth. The
soft answer or the repression which
evades an issue is more on the part of
the man than the wife. Young women
manage their lovers, but lose their skill
to manage their husbands. Women
make the cliques in congregations, church
societies, family hotels, boarding houses,
and wherever lovely women predominates.
Lack of tact makes the traditional moth
er-in-law. Fathers in-law have too much
tact to be fussy and irritating in matters
that should be left alone. Men live har-
moniously in clubs; women cannothve in
clubs without getting into hostile divi-
sions. Cincinnati Gazette. Al
