Retained His Equilibrium.

A certain youth having requested an
introduction to pretty chorus girl, the
matter was quietly referred to her hus-
band, who was in the company. He ar
ranged to have the masher brought be-
hind the scenes and presented while he
stood by. and the rest of the company
lurked about among the piles of scenery
to watch the fun. The introduction
took place and an invitation to supper
was offered. AS her husbands eyes
were upon her, the lady could only re-
mark that she thought "this gentleman,
her husband, might object" Every
body expected to see the mashd faint
with confusion, but he didn't seem at
all disturbed. He merely said: "Ahl
well, it would be too bad to annoy him I;
let it go till some time when you're in
town without him." Then, turning to
the husband, he said, in a low, but dis
tinct tone: poor fellow, 1 pity you
1t must be so unpleasant to feel that
your wife regards you as an incum-
brance which prevents her having a
good time" He walked off, leaving
them aghast at his impudence.

Charming Women.

1t is the business of woman of the
world to be agreeable, says writer i'll
the atlantic. She spares no pains to
make herself just as good-looking as
possible, and just as charming. And
she is always tolerant. She may think
you fool for your beliefs, but she
doesn't tell you so brutally, or try to
crush you with ON avalanche of argu-
ment. She tries to look at the matter
from your point of you; in short, she
feigns sympathy if she have it not.
Your women with q purpose think it
wrong to feign anything. They won't
pretend to be sympathetic any more
than they will powder their faces, or
let their dressmakers improve their
figures. That's why they are so bor-
ing; they are too narrow to be sympa-
thetic, and too conscientious to be po-
lite. 1t is earnestness that does it /;
earnestness is naturally narrowing. 1t
Is earnestness, too, which sets their
nerves in a culver and makes them so
restless. They can never sit still they
are always twitching, don't you know?
That's earnestness. 1t has o kind of
electrical effect. Women in earnest
have no repose of manner. But o
woman of the world feigns that, just as
she feigns sympathy, because it makes
her pleasant to other people. Oh,
there's no doubt about it; women with
q purpose are vastly better than other
women, but they are not nearly so nice
