WHAT WOMEN CAN'T DO.
81 never saw but one woman lawyer, but
| may mention quite casually that would
let no woman run my squabbles; those that
Iscouldn't attend to myself l would refer to
the lawyer who had Mr.. before his name.
No woman need want to learn to be a
preacher: she was born with that instinct,
but her pulpit should be an armchair, her
listeners her immediate family, and, if she
practices as she breaches. her congregation
VIII be q great credit TO her. As for
woman preacher marrying people, let
people who like it be joined in wedlock
after this fashion; as for my own part

"There never was q more beautiful poem
written in few words than that by Owen
Meredith, in which he says:
To thee be all men heroes; every race noble;
All women virgins; every house temple;
Know thou nothing base.
That's my idea of knowledge. I am

MEN ONLY GRowS-UP BABIES.
every blessed one of yOu has a fashion
of taking it for granted that whatever man
says to you isn't true. Now, nine times
out of ten it is. so the tenth time give him
the benefit of the doubt, and when he finds
YOU do believe him he will take fancy 70
living up to his reputation, and he will tell
the truth 50 he may not so back on you. A
man is like prophet-he wants TO be be-
hCved in his own country, and when the
women of his household don't show him
that they have faith in him, he is pretty
apt to give them cause not TO. just take
one of your babies, and when it comes and
tells you that it loves you, and you are brute
enough to push 1t away because you are too
busy (as if & woman ought ever to be too
busy 10 refuse 10 listen TO her chlld), then
the next time that small boy feels the same
inclination he will work it out in his baby
mind that you didn't believe him before,
that you won't now. and soon he will stop
giving expression to his love, and nine
times out of ten the love will disappear.
Now, men, in some respects, are only
grown-up babies, so Just have faith in them
and after q while, from u sense of pride,
maybe they will make themselves what
you think them to be. There, | meandered

HOW WOMEN END AN ARGUMENT.
The small woman who had lately become
Mrs Charley announced: Don't surprise
any body, for you always drift to the men,
/ ought to have looked Inundated, but !
didn't. l simply, but forcibly, announced
that was only following the example OF
nv foremothers, who from Eve down had
shown the same inclination. The speech
maker was afraid we hadn't answered the
question, but somebody said something
about lovely black velvet cloak that she
had seen, fresh tea was made, and the
question was allowed to sink into oblivion,
which, by the by, was the very best place
for it.
THINGS WHICH GO INTO OBLIVION.
So many good things might so into obliv-
ion with good results-the butter that is
high and the canvas-back that is not.
The ices that are tasteless and the coffee
that tastes too much of chicory.
The buckWheat cakes tnat are tepld ana
the oysters that are warm.
The terrapin that is messed up with some
sort of an egg sauce, and the champagne
cup that has four bottles of soda TO one of
champagne.
The soup in which the cook has lost the
pepper pot and the mutton done crisp.
The tea that wants a prop because of its
weakness and the toast that's thicker than
cream.
The eggs that are not infallible and the
milk that has been so long away that it has
forgotten the COW.
But, most important of all, there should
go to oblivion the bad coolssz.tbey. have
wrecked families, theyshav9 caused fnds..
gestion, and they hdve made the hour Of
dinner one Of sadness and despair when it
should be one of joy and delight.
BY the by, in sending this consignment
to oblivion, do not include = Bah.
