Isaac" always says women talk too
much" For many years / thought It was
every womAn's solemn duty to believe every
thing hat vas said By her leigs lord and
master, 50 accepted this as one Of wonans
manifold SINS.
Not wanting to be more Of sinner than
was necessary / often ralked-no, tried to
talk with Isaac" about 1t; but he Is one OF
the men who do not have much to say at
home, at least on matters that do not per

gets home, no matter whether he comes

Women talk too much.
So il has set me to thinking on the sub

st time, watching every word any WON
an would say-yes and any man, TOR l was
determined there should be nothing mean
or narrow in my investigations. for l was
searching for the truth.
The more i studied the subject Of takers
the more interesting it became. / foand
an almost endless variety. There was the
Young lady, whom l will call perfectly
lovely" She always talked in superlstiVes

psrative degree in anything. Everything
Itat was said or done was perfectly lovely,
said with various shades Of emphasis She
always admired you and everything you did
srdeverythirg you wOre-thas Is, she talked
ihst way.
Watch for this young lady, you will know
h'r without my giving her name or resi-
deDce. She belongs to the family "gush-
erb" and "hatterers." After an evening
spent with one Of these young ladies, you
are really thankful for the blunt, outspoken,
~hole-hearted girls that one meets with oe-
Casionally. Not that these fstteriug talk
rs mean any harm. They are what the
! IIish people would call too sweet to be whole
some"-that is all
/ pondered over that class of women
awhile and all at once made the appalling
discovery that there are men who talk that
| very way.
Some one remarked that women don't
talk about anything but dress. looked at
that side of the question and found a good
many woman do enjoy tslkipg about dress
How can they help it2 They all want to
look az pretty as possible for the benef! Of
heir fathers and brothers and besides
good many women have to make g 90 do
for $500 and it takes planning and twisting
AID urning to get things that will look as
v, Il as other peoples things do and not
cost halt as much Nevertheless, found
some women, whom an sorry to say, really
seemed to give the subject Of fashion the
| first place in their conYeTs alton. | was
walking up street one day filed with benev-
olent thoughts towards this class Of bsnIght-
cd women and making wonderful plans for
IiitiDg them out OF this darkness and bring
ing them into the light Of mankind.
Ny plans were frustrated by two 6ne look
ing young men on the curbstone who were
30 busily discussing 8 new style OF coat,
hat they we obiVious. of The fact that they
were blockading lthe side walk somewhat.
though-well, it can't be on the subject of
dress that women talk too much,
The next class Of takers that was brought
10 my notice was the one called 'gossipS."
After q very careful examination of this
clsss, ! learned that gossip is thing with
out sex, and is pretty evenly divided. For
every woman who talks gossip you will find
at least one man. Just this difference, q
man does his talking away from home, for,
getting that other men have wives and sis
ters-why, even "Isaac" will sometimes
tell few things he heard down street"
| found in the multitude of takers"
that there are those who are thankfully
greeted in ever company and especially by
The hostess if che has those to entertain who
will not do their half Of it
Takers who can make sll the stupid
folks, all the awkward people have q
good time" seem TO treasure up all the
bright things, all the entertaining things
and pass them round just when they are
needed. They appear TO look st everything
Eirh view to extracting the pleasure from
it for some Of the shut in lives that are all
about us.
These takers are perfect blessing when
hey come into the room of an invalid.
They are not the people who think the great
.st enjoyment you can have will be in hear
.rg them talk OF themselves and their in
erests. Then found Takers who could
Take up all your energies and inspire you
nth new life and higher aspirations.
Truly it dawned on me that talking was
lot only an accomplishment but blessing

Most people think enough, but the habit
