TO keep the secret to herself She feels

don't propose TO cell her information.
Women are mean about some things. A
well-known barber says that Mrs Langtry
used a combination OF vaseline and lamp
black to darken and make glossy her hair,
but il sounds like such a messy mixture
that it is taken with grain OF salt-the
information, ! mean, not the vaseline and
lamp black. Brushing your hair will give
1t shine, but TO make 1t OF the gloss de-
sired you have got 10 use something else.
And, by the way, il may be mentioned for
the protection OF Charlie, Harry and Tom,
that the real stuff leaves no grease in the
locks, and that the girl whose head makes
a mark on coat isn't tho one who knows
the secret OF the gloss.

able that Mr.. Wilkinson's widows got mar
ried again. They were two extremely
fetching-looking women, who knew how
to put on their gowns, and now to make
life more or less comfortable to 4 man.
In fact, Mr.. Wilkinson's, while little
above the average, might yet be called
typical widows, and that they welded
again is only in the natural order OF events.

will make you laugh until YOU get the best
appetite for supper you ever had, and
nowadays, when we are all wondering
whether we are going get the grip or
the typhoid fever, or the muiligrubs, or
goodness only knows what, anything that
gives an appetite is to be greeted with
open arms, or whatever be your method Of
expressing satisfaction.
Some women were talking the other
day about cads, and they said that viii e
the snob may be found among women, the
cad is essentially masculine. He is pre-
valent at times. He comes up like the
weeds and the spring freckles, and with a
little care he can be extinguished almost
as easily.
He spends his time in thinking what
rude things be can say or do. OF course,
he don't think they are rude; he thinks
they are clever
He has an idea that people who keep
quiet don't know anything. In this he is
frequently mistaken.
He does not believe that any woman can
see him and not love him this is often an
error on his part. He is satisfied that
after seeing him Providence concluded to
make the world and yet Providence is not
given TO mistakes.
He occupies three seats in a street car,
audibly damns the conductor, smirks at
any woman who may be decently dressed,
and believes that he is accepted as q man
of the world. lie is; but not of the world
that he would wish TO belong TO.
He tells women it was a pity he didn't
know them younger, so that he might
have trained them. Ii he had they wouid
have occupied cells in the house OF deten-
ton
He has induced some girl TO marry him,
and he announces boldly that it is a good
thing on both sides. Some people doubt
this.
He has the latest thing in carriages, in
trousers and in waistcoats, but somehow,
while he gets his hats from London hat
ter and Poole makes his coats, brains don't
seem to accumulate under ''the only hat
gentleman could possibly wear"
He has one fully developed idea, and
that is that he IS a gentleman. He never
was more mistaken in his life.
He never got close enough 10 gentle
man to catch good manners, nor to a man
to be well kicked.
He is blot upon the face of the uni
verse. Let's sponge him out "BAB."
