Mrs. Clarkson, wife of General
Clarkson, the Republican National
Committeeman, is a woman of great
ability, and inclined to be of assist
nee to Mi. Clarkson in whatever way
she can best be effective, says the
Washington Post. She has been with
him in o than one campaign, and
accordingly has an accurate knowl-
edge OF the part newspapers play in
all important political affairs. She
has, as a result, an abiding faith in
newspaper people that is a comfort to
all who believe that the newspaper
nan is abused very frequently, when
If the truth were known the men
themselves had much more Just cause
to complain than the person who
thinks he or she is abused slainefully.
Mrs. Clarkson has said:-''I believe if
you treat newspaper people fairly and
also without concealment they are
sure to treat you the same way.
Moreover, if you throw yourself on
their mercy, even if mistakes are
made and things happen that, while
fun for the public. are exceedingly
unpleasant for you, those newspaper
people are sure to consider themselves

Won ans Fear of Fear.
A distinctively feminine q%ueerness is
the fear of fear. All women know what
that is-that horrible, throat thicken-
ing fear, not of misfortune, but of the
fear OF misfortune. Fearis a dreadful
cl0dnt that xuorfC an rxoecsstxy ~
shadow that cannot live once it is con-
fronted with action, though action
may summon the dark certainty of
which fear is but the specter and the
shadow. That is why men never
know the fear of fear. Theirs is the
thrice happy role of action; they rare
ly need know the suspense of which
the fear of fear is born.
Ii a woman were to voice her in
most apprehension, as her loved ones
leave her for a journey, long or brief,
it would not be, 'Oh, l fear misfor-
will come to these.n 1t would
be. "Oh, fear some harmless delay
will make me fear misfortune has
come to them" She knows the horror
of that; she has learned it, lesson on
lesson, her whole life long. Men can
not understand such a paradox.
Is the train late? Does friend or
wife linger beyond the appointed
hour? No matter what that hour is,
the man can take hat and stick and
saunter toward the friends house or
the station. His apprehension dies
in action before it is half born. Only
the woman must sit passive while the
blood beats in her ears, and her throat
turns dry and the silence where foot
should be lies upon her heart
like grave clods. This is when woman |
learns that feminine queerness, the
fear of fear.-B0ston Commonwealth. |
The English of the Kendais.
Americans who affect what they
are pleased to call an English accent
should go to hear Mr.. and Mrs. Ken
dial and their company as often as
possible, says the Boston Ira aascrapt
The English pronunction of these cul-
tivated actors is hardly in the smallest
degree different from that of Guilt
waited Americans. 1t has been OBJ
served by two or three of the Listen
friends that Mrs. Kendall talks
very much more like an American
than Miss Ada Rehan does. This is

Mrs. Kendall speaks entirely without
a~ffectation. The accent which some
our people affect as 'English' is
really not English, but a sort of swell
cockney, which is as absurd in Eng
land as it is in America. We have
Englishmen here at one time and an
other who talk in a very odd way, but
their eccentricities are often pure pro-
1t would be quite as un-
intelligent for an American to initiate
the dialect of Lancashire as it is for
him to recast his own utterance on
the model of cockneydom.
A Boon for Poor Girls.
The most chivalrous organization of
modern times is the Mariahilf Matri-
monial Club in Austria. The mem
bers, who are rich men, take each a
to marry a poor girl. If one
his vow and weds a rich wo-
he pays a fine of SO, 900, whichth he
club devotes to giving some iinpecuni-
ous betrothed couple a start in life.
New Calling for "Divinely TAN, Girls
A corset manufacturer has con-
with five young women, di-
vlnely tall, etc., who are to travel 10, 900
miles dressed in the very latest fash
ion. They are to travel in luxurious
and to stay at the best hotels in
all the leading towns. But the prac-
teal part of the scheme is that the
agent of the manufacturer travels
with them, and delivers lectures to
proving medically that good
are conducive to good health.
