NEW YORK, Jan. 17.-It must be charm
ing to be a man this cratic weather, when
the rain it raineth always, the snow it
snoweth heavily, or the weather is doing
something all the time as hard as ever it
can. If it thaws, the slush is shoe deep; if
1t rains, it just pcurs torrents, and if it
SHOWS, whewi
But men iced not mind such extremes.
They can always have nice, easy times. A
good pair Of overshoes, coat with a cape
to it, or dandy macintosh, a cap and an
umbrella keep them dry through AZ vicis-
STUDIES. The water couldn't get to their
stocking legs if it tried ever so hard. and
they nothing at all about the misery of wet
petticoats and stomach ache.
Now, a girl will do the very best that she
can to protect herself And hen she has
done everything, she finds that it is just
nothing at all. Her m ckintosh is long and
it gets wet and draggled the first block she
with mud and mire, and when she sits
down in the car her wet skirts dampen her
stocking legs. And, oh deari And, oh
dear! Isn't just horrid2 How could we

Here is a word or two for the benefit of
women who.work for living, whether with
the pen or the sword, or, in more modern

Whatever may be your occupation,
pray make it the occupation, the
aim and the highest ambition
your life. There is too much half
way work amoung women who are earning
their living. They are doing it because
they want to live respec ably, aud they in

a desire to rescue them. They are only
working uutil-well-un il-vou know.
And here is another word for working
women Do not lutrude your private affairs
upon your employers. 1t is of no interest to
them to know that you have seen better
days. In fact, it is diScouragiDg, for 1t leads
them to believe that you are not happy and
contented. Tue man you work for es not

whether you were the petted darling of an
opulent household. These facts do not aft ct

your audience.
People who have been, or are, really we'll
to-do, seldom speak whiningly of their
work. They love it far too we'll for that,
a they have too much respect for them
selves
There is nothing under heaven equal to a
jealous wife. You know how tits yourself.

was pretty and saucy, and plqued you little
by her evasive ways. And then you remem-
Der how it was afterward. After a week or
two, she didn't seem pretty any more. You
found out the secrets Of her constructive
makeup, and you felt as If few scales had
been dropped from your eyes, and you had
sore feeling as If you had been fooled, and
hadn't drawn such prize after all.
She was saucy, too, just as she had always
been, only che forgot TO laugh afterward,

American women are appreciated every
where. They have those taking qualities
that people love, the adapta bility that all
admire and the talent that makes even roy
ally proud to call them their friends. One
of the latest triumphs for American women
is that of the sweet-voiced Mrs. Lillian San-
derson. She sing for the King and Queen
of Denmark on New Years day at the
palace OF AmallenD borg and so pleased their
royal highnesses that the king. by special
request of the lady queen, presented her

There is a new way OF helping your best
fellow put on his overcoat. And it is a very
charming way. You know how the old
method was. You took hold Of the coat,
tried to bold it opposite the back Of his
shoulders, made few frantic dives at his
arms and. finally, became all mixed up in a
labyrinth of coat tails. oyercoats, collar and
wildly waving arms.
The new way is like unto it, only it is
neater. And this Is just the way it is man
aged. Charley picks up the coat and hands
it to you. You take 1t by the shoulders
and, holding fast to one side bravely. permit
him to slip one of his arms right into the
coat sleeve.
Then half, aye more than half, of the bat
tie is over. For the rest is simple enough.
As quickly as one arm has found its way
into the coat sleeve, Charley suddenly turns
around, grasps you about the waist and,
thu, supported and steadied, easily slips the
other arm into it's own sleeve. It is all
simple enough, as you can see for yourself
There is nothing confusing about IL. Know

letters should accompany this. They say
