FOR WOMEN IN 1892.
/ asked a man the other evening what he
wished for women in 1892, and he said: 81
wish them to know less Latin and more
loving kindness that they may know better
how TO manage acook than cOnstrue Greek
sentence; that they may not be 80 p sitive.
and little more feminine and gentle.
have been thinking that over. This man
was good, sensible, honest fellow, kind to
women, and believing in them, and yet
these were the faults he found. Don't you
see thenll Do you think women have too
much brain and too little heart knowledgel
Do you ever take the trouble to study the
types that this century is producingG
There is, first OF all, the greedy
woman, who. il she were two or three grades
lower In society, would be- a fiend. She
happens to cali Iersef your friend, and
from the moment she is near you aud
among your belongings she hints for some-
thing that you possess, and she isn't satisfied
until she gets it She does n i ask right out for
ito, dear, mol But she knows how TO sug-
gest aud admire, until you feel bound to give
her what her heart desires. II it happens to
be some trife you prize on account of asso-
citation. because it was given TO you by
somebody for whom you care, aud you re-
fuse to part with it. then she will 90 away
and call you the stingiest woman in the
world. She Is type that can very COM
fortably go out with 1891.
MAY SHE DIE WITH THE YEAR
Then there is another type. 1t is the
woman who from the very beginning wants
TO convince you of her extreme goodness,
and tells you whenever she sees you how
she is praying for you. IL you feel as 40,
you think it's great fmpertinence on her
part. Because she wishes always to tell
the truth, she hu-ls at you all the unpleas-
ant things that ever happened, or that she
had ever heard that happened. She gives
you her opinion Of your cook, your hus-
band and yourself. You can only kick her
metaphorically; you wish you could do it
materially. When you are dead she will
manage to look on you in your coffin and
tell the members of your family what she
thinks Of you as corpse. She Is so candid
Pray that she may 20 out in 1891, but even
1892 will bring no suoh good luck.

Then there is the other woman. The one
who has the interest of the entire neighbor-
hood, or her entire circle of acQuaiutances
to attend TO, and no time to give to those Of
her own family. She thinks it Judgment
on her that her boys and girls don't care for
her. That 1t Is queer her husband is not as
much interested in her as other women,
especially when she can be so entertaining.
She doesn't realize that her mode of enter
tanning is sort that men don't like To
give them their dues, very few care TO hear
whose frock has been made over, who is
wearing the same bonnet she did last year,
who never seems to have any money in her
purse, aud who looks in a very curious man
ner at all the men she knows Ny friends,
never come across this woman that don't
feel there is value in dynamite. She can
manage with the least exertion to make the
most trouble of any human being you ever
encOuuteTeu, anu bne uOoS IL unOer bOo veil
of good opinion. Because the devil helps
his own, such women usually have sweet
voices. and In that way great many peo-
pie are ensnared by them. After you have
found this special one, try TO get up cour
age to do as have done. Don't be coward
enough TO send down word you are out
when she calls, or that you are engaged, or
that you are sick, but send down word that
you don't wish to see her. Talk about you2
OF course, she will talk about you, but not
for very long, and in her own heart she
will have q certain feeling of respect for the
woman who read her and knew Just how to
treat her. May she be washed away with
1S9l-washed away by the waters Of for
getfulness, aud made to suffer what she has
inflicted on other people.
BETTER COOKS AND LESS DYSPEPSIA.
Then there Is another. It is the woman
who does not do her work well. Except
where it is necessary, | don't believe In
woman going out into the world to work,
because thore is usually enough for her
hands to do in her home. She may neglect
work there just as well as she neglects work
outside. l can hear the suffrage people talk
about the great work waiting for women.
wish she would begin by learning to broil a
good beefsteak and making good cup of
coffee. / can hear them talking about the
value of the vote. l can give them no end of
points about the value of good
bread and butter, and when
hear them screaming about women's
power In politics, give a great
deep sigh, and think of woman's influence
In the kitchen, and what it might do, and
what it doesnie do. It is the duty OF every
woman who is married and has q home, TO
