TELLING SECRETS TO MEN.

The Expressed Opinion of Ella Wheeler

1t has often been asserted that woman
cannot keep n secret. Now, Ella Wheeler
Wilcox, in an article contributed to the
Ladies Home Journal, asserts that IL you
do not want a thing known you must not
confds your secrets 10 a man. II is the
mistake of a lifetime, she writes, to give
man any liberty which you would not
want known and expect him to keep the
matter secret. The exceptional man will
sometimes hide the indiscreton of a young
girl whom he believes spoke or acted from
Ignorance. But the average man, in the
highest the same as in the lowest walks of
lite. boasts of his successes with foolish
women, and the rendezvous, the letter, the
embrace, or the souvenir which she has
given him, thinking it will never be known
to others than themselves. is shortly the
matter of gossip among dozen people.
Women hide their secrets far better than
men do They fear the censure of the
world too much to share their errors or in
discretions with cOpfdantes. But men are
almost invariably vain and proud of their

HOW TO AVOID COLDS.

Wet Feet FIJI More Graveyards Than an
Epidemic of Cholera.
Tho dlspensaries were crowded with
women and children who had caught cold
The doctors had all sorts and degrees of
rheum to attend to, from the shifting,
wheeling small boy to the coughing and
straining old man. One of the physicians
said to Sun reporter:
IF these people would only have sense
enough to keep their feet dry they would
be all right. l tell you, wet feet fill more
graveyards than an epidemic Of cholera
All the children that came in here to-day
with swollen eyes and heads stopped up
had wet feet. It's the same way with
men. You would think that an intelli-
gent business man would know enough
to take care of himself. but he does not.
The average New Yorker goes downtown
and tramps around In the wet until his feet
are cold and damp. He gets into per-

Take the young girls you see tramping

How Fashionable woman's Fearful

certain woman of fashion, conspicuous
in the society Of city not thousand miles
from Washington, whose infirmity of temper
has given rise to very interesting gossip oc-

A short time ago she was entertaining at

was very fond of the beverage in question,
partaking of 1t every evening of her life.
Unfortunately the servant had neglected to
make more than the usual quantity, which
was about sufficient for single cup
Accordingly, when the guest was asked if
she would have some, she hestated mo-

tainer flushed with anger at the contra
temps and, rising from her seat, deliberately
poured the contents of the chocolate pot out
of the window.
This was embarrassing for the lady enter
tanned, to say the least of it. OF course,
however, she pretended to take no notice,
merely glancing at her host, who made the
third person at the repast, to see IL he evil
denced any consciousness respecting the
proceeding. But he only smiled Slightly be-

some chicken salad, OF which a big dishful

and threw it. dish and all, ont through the
window into the garden.

calmly.

The announcement that Henrietta r.
Crowell and Hclmar Nicoai Nilsen had
been married caused general surprise among
those who knew them both when it
was published. says the New York Sun.
Miss Crowell is q daughter Of stephen

He was President of the Phoenix Insurance
Company of Brooklyn. Miss Crowell has
many friends in New York and Brooklyn
and In the various resorts in this vicinity
at which she has been guest. In addition
to being an heress, she is both beautiful
and accomplished.
Nilsen came to this country several years
ago from Christiania, Norway He found
employment with Dir. Cotes at his santa
rum in Lakewood, y. j. He took care of
the baths and made himself generally
useful. During the last year at times OF
need he waited on the table.
DR.. CoteS evidently valued him, for he
told reporter Nilsen was the cleverest as
well as the most industrious and thoroughly
trustworthy man he ever had in his employ.
Since Stephen CrowelPs death, Mrs.
Crowell and her three daughters have given
up their residence in Brooklyn and are
spending their winterat various resorts in

Henrietta Crowell first saw Nllsen. Nobody
expected that the beautiful heiress would
fall in love with the Norwegian man of all
work, but she did. Their attachment re-
manned long a secret, but before the
Crowells left in the spring it was generally
known at Lakewood. Everything connected
with their courtship has been greatly mag
uitied, and it is now popularity supposed
that their marriage followed an elOpement
But such does not appear 10 have been
the case. George lngraham, the Second
Weep esdent of the Phoenix Insurance
Company and the husband of Miss CrowelPs
oldest sister, said that no elopement had
taken place. and that Miss CrOwell had mar
ried with the knowledge and consent Of her
family. Mr.. Ingraham is The executor Of

Nilsen has been represented as being un-
prepossessing in appearance, but such is
not the case if ladies' testimony is to be be
lieved. DR.. Cotes said.
Il believe that nearly all the women ser
wants considered him fine looking. As for
me, well | should call him, physically at
least very handsome.
Mrs. DR.. COtes said 81 should call him
q very handsome man"
Nilsen was a tall, dark man, quiet and
unassuming. He made but few acquaint-
ances. Miss Crowel's beauty is acknowl-
edged. She is of fair complexion, large,
deep blue eyes. aud is possessed of an I'M
usually fine voice. BY her fathers Will she
