The Unlovely Woman.


There is no more unlovelJ woman in
the world than a sour dispositioned
woman. She Will say the bitterest things,
although smiling the while, and make
everyone with whom she comes in con-
tact uncomfortable. Sometimes she is
apped in suavity and ostentatious
piety and makes her personal affections
and physical ills her capital for gaining
sympathetic listeners whose patience she
abuses henceforth. She can tell you i'll
reports about everybody, will warn you
against the deceit of this one and that
one, manifests fattering solicitude and
interest in your private business, and is
SO glad that she met you In time to save
you from the evil influence of this and
that fellow church member. She cloaks
the heart OF fiend in the garb of q
Christian. Strangers are her especial
victims. For downright mean, cutting
remarks, malicious woman excels any
thing on record. 4 lovely lady, who in a
recent acquisition to Des Moines, once
told the writer OF several malicious re-
marks made to her by fellow church
woman soon after her advent here. In
speaking of certain pastor, one said:
HAS DR.. Blank called on you yet? No.
Well, always gauge his welcome to
strangers in the church by the length of
time he takes in calling upon them" Of
course the sour woman is found outside
of the church and in every grade of So
ciety, but 1t is not she who has publicly
avowed TO "do unto others" that ELECTS
especial contempt.
