capable of this, and don't you believe the God
who made these two women is merciful as well
as just? l tell you l can't decide, and neither
can you, JUS what sin is We know that it is
wrong to steal to kill, or to defraud our neigh
bors in any way, but who can blame the starving
for stealing bread and who can blame the un-
happy for searching for happiness? Not you
and /. All, my friend, though every Sunday
may see you kneeling in your pew and asking
to have your trespasses forgiven, you can't af-
ford to throw single stone Who can?
THE WOMEN OF soRos1s.
One of the incest women in New York took
me to Sorosis the other day to lunch and hear
the answers to this question, "Have the discov-
cries in modern science been the means of pro-
longing life? ?n never knew before that women
knew so much. Goodness gracious they reeled
off statistics in the most rapid manner. If there
is anything have respect for it is a woman who
can remember figures. They told about Won
derful discoveries, and they quoted from Hux-
ley and Darwin just as | would from Mother
Goose, but it struck me as rather funny that
they did such a lot of quoting and all from men
Why didn't they quote from women? You see,
they are all so deadly fond of women that the
great mystery is they don't discover a machine
and then to let women marry each other. l am
not built that way.
WHERE Is woMAN's PLACE?
l think a woman a very good thing in her
place, and think her place, the best place for
her to be, is with her head on mans shoulder.
If she is going to dabble in modern science go
ing to prolong life, she had much better educate
herself up to making mustard plaster that
won't take the skin off his breast when he has
got pain there that he thinks means pleurisy
or pneumonia or some other disease that he
breads worse than the fire of Hades.
DOCTORS IN PETT1coATs.
You see, it was bad day to invite me, be-
cause nearly all the women who spoke We're
women DOCTORS and have just the same liking
for the woman doctor that have for the divided
skirt The last is neither skirt nor 8 pair of
trousers, and the first is neither doctor nor a
woman. Some sweet hearted girl wrote to me
and asked me why didn't like women doc
tors. Well, l will tell you why. It's because
| haven't bit of belief in their ability to cure
anything 1t is distinctly stated that men and
women were made for each other, consequently
the good doctor has got to be the one who walks
the hospitals where men are treated and knows
all about the diseases of men and not Just
those of women. Then the woman doctor al
ways seems to have the time and inclination to
talk to a woman about her internal arrange
ments until her imagination is fired and she
thinks she has every disease in the world. She
gets few medical phrases in her possession, is
very apt to read nasty medical books, and no
topic is quite as interesting to her as the one
which hinges on her special complaint For
my own part think it is a bit indecent
THERE is NOT THE SLIGHTEST DANGER
of the American woman of to day not knowing
enough; the present trouble is that she will
know too much of what she ought to remain in
ignorance of. Still, had an extremely good
time listening to the NJ. DIS in petticoats talk
about science, and congratulating myself on
the fact that there were still few men doctors
left alve-a sufficient number to care for the
women who have confidence in man because
they believe he was made in the image of God.
Ny dear girl, it is in you and me and all our
foremothers to worship something besides
Heaven, and that something ought to be man,
and to place our reliance on something besides
prayer when one is sick, and that something
ought to be man doctor l know this isn't
being up with the times, but it's good common
sense, and common sense is almost as difficult
to find as a good doctor, and when you get hold
of either one or the other just cling to it with
all your might.
WHEN WHITE BECOMES BLACK.
The woman who is well dressed in a broad
cloth gown wears with it ad-white gloves and
she knows they will only endure for once.
Cause why? Because the other woman who
has got on black gloves always insists on shak-
ing hands with her. She don't know whether
it's original sin or accident, but she has it
strongly impressed on her mind that it is orgi-
nal sin, for her black goved sister squeezes her
hand very tight and leaves a beautiful thumb
mark rght ON top of the Glove PITY isn't IL
