Thoughtlessness.

Farmer Simpson was an exceedingly
mild-natured man, and would find ex-
cuses for the shortcomings of his neigh
bors. for the faults of his horses and,
in fact, for every unpleasant thing that
came in his way. He purchased COW,
and had great difficulty in keeping her
in the pasture.
"She's kind of rovin' critter, but she
means WELL" he said. after walk OF
several miles in pursuit of her.
One morning he was milking the COW,
when she began to kick violently, upset
the stool, sent the pail flying, and all
the milk was spilled
the farmer got up, and. contem-
plating the ruin. said gravely to wit-s
ness Of the disaster:
We'll, now, that's the worst fault
this cow has"
Then after moments meditation,
feeling that perhaps he had been nm
necessarily severe. he added: That is,
il You can call it fault; maybe it's
only thoughtlessness."

England and inaugurated II - an
article Of yachting and smoking ap-
parel. Until then It was unknown to
the upper ten thousand Of Europe as an
article of fashionable dress. It had,
however, long been in use among Eng
lish officers and civilians in India and
other tropical colonies of Great Britain.
The civilians in those chimes invariably
wear cummerbunds of plain black silk,
while the military officers wear theirs
of red silk in order to match with the
scarlet shell jackets of their
mess uniforms These two colors,
namely, black for the civilians and
naval officers, and scarlet for the mill
tary men. are the only two permitted
by the Anglo-Indian ethics of good
form, and as there is nothing efeminate
in their appearance, and as. moreover,
the character of the tropical climate
renders their use necessary for the pres
ervation of health, no fault can be
found with them.
In Europe, however, their use has de-
generated into abuse. They have be-
come deplorably vulgar and have long
since been abandoned by the prince of
Wales, who, doubtless, when his royal
eye happens to be attracted by the as
founding mixture of color. gold en-
broidery and jewelry, which now 60 to
make up the "cummerbund," must Bit
terly regret his ill-advised action in inn
porting into western civilization this
distinctive feature of Anglo-Indian
fashion.
would therefore venture to recon-
mend to those of my readers who mako
use Of the cummerbund next summer to
eschow the vagaries OF the French
"gommeux," and of tho London
"masher' in connection with that arti-
Gle of attire, and to restrict themselves
to the rules observed by weI-bred
Englishmen in British India, where tho
present fashion originated. They would
likewise do well to bear in mind that it
requires a good and elegant figure to
look well in any cummerbunds, which

Such radical common sense quite took

Mrs. Stevens is described as dressing

wear lighter. thinner and more COM

Stevens, with other leaders OF fashion,
is. it is needless to say, wearing light,

II there is one thing more than another
that affects my nervous system and dis
turbs my equsnimitv it is to encounter
bore. especially if the bore happens to be-
long to my sex. For of tho two, the fe-
male bore is infinitely more Objectionable
than one of the masculine species. 1t is
always possible for q woman to squelch
q male bore, but when the bore happens
to be lady it is perfectly useless to at
tempt to suppress her. She is simply ir-
repressible and there is absolutely moth
ing to be done except to take to flight
when she appears upon the horizon. l
regard her, moreover. rs being primarily
responsible for the increasing disinclina-
ton to marry manifested by tho young
men of the present day.
They dread that once welded they may
find that they are chained for the re-
mainder of their existence TO bore. The
very thought is sufficient to cause them
to shudder; as well it may. We all know
how figedy, restless and exasperated We
feel when person has been boring US for
an hour or two. Imagine. therefore, the
horror of being condemned TO spend the
remainder Of ones existence in close and
intimate association with . bore; to find
ones self morning noon and evening ak
posed to the infection. and not even to
be able to find any refuge or relief there
from in bed. A woman myself and con-
